Influence of ionization and cumulative effects on laser-induced crystallization in multilayer dielectrics

Yves Bellouard, Victor Carle Adrien Boureau, Ruben Ricca

Crystallization of amorphous layers has been demonstrated under various radically different laser-exposure conditions, including continuous wave (cw) and pulsed lasers. Here, we investigate the specific role of ionization in the crystallization of dielectr ...

Anomalous Hall effect and magnetic structure of the topological semimetal (Mn0.78Fe0.22)3Ge

Jian Rui Soh, Jan Persson

Me3+8Ge, being a Weyl semimetal, shows a large anomalous Hall effect (AHE), which decreases slowly with an increase in 8 from 0.1 to 0.4. However, AHE in this compound remains significantly large in the whole range of 8 because of the robust nature of the ...

Metasurface-stabilized optical microcavities

Ileana-Cristina Benea-Chelmus

Cavities concentrate light and enhance its interaction with matter. Confining to microscopic volumes is necessary for many applications but space constraints in such cavities limit the design freedom. Here we demonstrate stable optical microcavities by cou ...

Direct Observation of the Phase Transition in C60 Fullerene

Chengcheng Yan

In the third study, the order-disorder phase transition of single-crystal C60 is studied using time-resolved electron microscopy. Solid C60 undergoes a first-order phase transition upon heating to 260 K. This is a structural transition from the low-tempera ...

An elementary treatment on the diffraction of crystalline structures

Gervais Chapuis

Although W. L. Bragg's law can be easily derived for beginners in the field of crystallography, its interpretation however seems to cause some difficulties which lies essentially in the relation between the concept of lattice planes and the unit cell const ...

Concrete cancer : characterization of Alkali Silica Reaction early stage products by electron microscopy

Solène Anne-Lise Albinski

Concrete deterioration is a natural process, which has to be carefully monitored over a the service life of a structure. The Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR) is a slow-process degradation, which devel-ops over decades and is therefore difficult to predict. Sin ...

Chalcogenide glasses for innovation in applied science: fundamental issues and new insights

Assil Bouzid

We provide an overview of what has been accomplished by our team, since 1998, in the area of first-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) modeling of glassy chalcogenides, a prototypical family of network-forming disordered materials. After a broad introduct ...

Long-range magnetic ordering in Li2MnGeO4 and precursor short-range spin correlations

Irina Safiulina

Long-range magnetic ordering and short-range spin correlations in layered noncentrosymmetric orthogermanate Li2MnGeO4 were studied by means of polarized and unpolarized neutron scattering. The combined Rietveld refinement of synchrotron and neutron powder ...

Characterizing crystalline defects in single nanoparticles from angular correlations of single-shot diffracted X-rays

Christoph Bostedt

Characterizing and controlling the uniformity of nanoparticles is crucial for their application in science and technology because crystalline defects in the nanoparticles strongly affect their unique properties. Recently, ultra-short and ultra-bright X-ray ...

Thermo-optic tuning of spectral broadening in a nonlinear Ultra-Silicon-Rich Nitride grating

Jae-Woo Choi

Temperature tuning of spectral broadening induced by a nonlinear grating is experimentally demonstrated. The bandwidth is observed to decrease as temperature increases, corresponding to a red-shift in the high dispersion region of the Bragg grating. ...

Soft-phonon driven hexagonal-orthorhombic phase transition in BaVS3

Helmuth Berger

The lattice dynamics of low-dimensional BaVS3 is reported across the hexagonal-orthorhombic phase transition occurring at T-S = 250 K using a combination of the thermal diffuse scattering of x rays, inelastic x-ray scattering, and density functional theory ...

Ultrafast Structural Dynamics along the beta - gamma Phase Transition Path in MnAs

Eugenio Ferrari

We investigate the orthorhombic distortion and the structural dynamics of epitaxial MnAs layers on GaAs(001) using static and time-resolved x-ray diffraction. Laser-induced intensity oscillations of Bragg reflections allow us to identify the optical phonon ...
