Terahertz emission from diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers

László Forró, Ferenc Simon, Sándor Kollarics, Bence Gábor Márkus

Coherent light sources emitting in the terahertz range are highly sought after for fundamental research and applications. Terahertz lasers rely on achieving population inversion. We demonstrate the generation of terahertz radiation using nitrogen-vacancy c ...

Plasmonically enhanced molecular junctions for investigation of atomic-scale fluctuations in self-assembled monolayers

Sakthi Priya Amirtharaj

Molecular junctions represent a fascinating frontier in the realm of nanotechnology and are one of the smallest optoelectronic devices possible, consisting of individual molecules or a group of molecules that serve as the active element sandwiched between ...

Direct observations of X-rays produced by upward positive lightning

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Antonio Sunjerga, Thomas Chaumont

X-rays have been observed in natural downward cloud-to-ground lightning for over 20 years and in rocket-triggered lightning for slightly less. In both cases, this energetic radiation has been detected during the stepped and dart leader phases of downward n ...

Pyroelectricity in poled all-organic polar polynorbornene/polydimethylsiloxane-based stretchable electrets

Frank Nüesch, Francis Owusu

Pyroelectricity in a recently developed all-organic composite electret with a polar polynorbornene-based filler and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix has been studied with the help of thermal and dielectric techniques. Measurement of the pyroelectric p co ...

Magnetic orderings and electronic structure of complex oxides from advanced Hubbard functionals

Luca Binci

Transition metal oxides represent a class of materials displaying very unusual electronic, structural and magnetic properties. They are extremely interesting, both from a technological and fundamental point of view. The most important characteristic of the ...

Magnon-phonon interactions enhance the gap at the Dirac point in the spin-wave spectra of CrI3 two-dimensional magnets

Iurii Timrov

Recent neutron-diffraction experiments in honeycomb CrI3 quasi-2D ferromagnets have evinced the existence of a gap at the Dirac point in their spin-wave spectra. The existence of this gap has been attributed to strong in-plane Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya or Kita ...

Berry curvature dipole generation and helicity-to-spin conversion at symmetry-mismatched heterointerfaces

Peng Chen, Xupeng Yang

The Berry curvature dipole (BCD) is a key parameter that describes the geometric nature of energy bands in solids. It defines the dipole-like distribution of Berry curvature in the band structure and plays a key role in emergent nonlinear phenomena. The th ...

Foldable Hole-Transporting Materials for Merging Electronic States between Defective and Perfect Perovskite Sites

Keith Gregory Brooks, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paul Joseph Dyson, Kasparas Rakstys, Yi Zhang, Hiroyuki Kanda, Ruiyuan Hu, Jianxing Xia, Qurat Ul Ain

Defective and perfect sites naturally exist within electronic semiconductors, and considerable efforts to reduce defects to improve the performance of electronic devices, especially in hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (ABX(3)), are undertaken. Herein, ...

Momentum-Space Imaging of Ultra-Thin Electron Liquids in δ-Doped Silicon

Nicolò D'Anna, Gabriel Aeppli

Two-dimensional dopant layers (δ-layers) in semiconductors provide the high-mobility electron liquids (2DELs) needed for nanoscale quantum-electronic devices. Key parameters such as carrier densities, effective masses, and confinement thicknesses for 2DELs ...

Giant two-photon absorption of anatase TiO2 in Au/TiO2 core-shell nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Lijie Wang, Malte Oppermann

We report on deep-to-near-UV transient absorption spectra of core-shell Au/SiO2 and Au/TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) excited at the surface plasmon resonance of the Au core, and of UV-excited bare anatase TiO2 NPs. The bleaching of the first excitonic transitio ...
