Fully spin-polarized bulk states in ferroelectric GeTe

By measuring the spin polarization of GeTe films as a function of light polarization we observed that the bulk states are fully spin polarized in the initial state, in strong contrast with observations for other systems with a strong spin-orbit interaction ...

Image-Based Acquisition and Modeling of Polarimetric Reflectance

Xin Tong, Wenzel Alban Jakob, Tizian Lucien Zeltner

Realistic modeling of the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) of scene objects is a vital prerequisite for any type of physically based rendering. In the last decades, the availability of databases containing real-world material measurem ...

Ultra-Broadband and Omnidirectional Perfect Absorber Based on Copper Nanowire/Carbon Nanotube Hierarchical Structure

Giulia Tagliabue, Fateme Kiani Shahvandi, Theodoros Tsoulos

Zero reflection and complete light absorption are required in a wide range of applications ranging from sensing devices to solar heaters and photoelectrodes. However, simultaneously satisfying the requirements of the broadband spectrum, omnidirectionality, ...

Individual Barkhausen Pulses of Ferroelastic Nanodomains

Dragan Damjanovic, Vasiliki Tileli, Reinis Ignatans

Ferroelectric materials, upon electric field biasing, display polarization discontinuities known as Barkhausen jumps, a subclass of a more general phenomenon known as crackling noise. Herein, we follow at the nanoscale the motion of 90 degree needle domain ...

Oblivious Sketching of High-Degree Polynomial Kernels

Mikhail Kapralov, Amir Zandieh

Kernel methods are fundamental tools in machine learning that allow detection of non-linear dependencies between data without explicitly constructing feature vectors in high dimensional spaces. A major disadvantage of kernel methods is their poor scalabili ...

Buoyancy-driven melting and solidification heat transfer analysis in encapsulated phase change materials

Sophia Haussener, Nithin Mallya

Controlled melting and solidification in encapsulated phase change materials (PCMs) is of practical interest, for example, in latent heat storage applications. The choice of PCMs and the dynamic heat transfer characteristics during phase change - affecting ...

Field-induced reorientation of helimagnetic order in Cu2OSeO3 probed by magnetic force microscopy

Helmuth Berger

Cu2OSeO3 is an insulating skyrmion-host material with a magnetoelectric coupling giving rise to an electric polarization with a characteristic dependence on the magnetic-field (H) over right arrow. We report a magnetic force microscopy imaging of the helic ...

Polarization dependence of angle-resolved photoemission with submicron spatial resolution reveals emerging one-dimensionality of electrons in NbSe3

Helmuth Berger, Marco Grioni, Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Miguel Angel Valbuena

In materials with nearly commensurate band filling the electron liquid may spontaneously separate into components with distinct properties, yielding complex intra- and interunit cell ordering patterns and a reduced dimensionality. Polarization-dependent an ...

Terahertz-optical properties of a bismuth ferrite single crystal

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marcin Bialek

Transmission through a (100)-oriented single crystal of bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) was studied at frequencies of 0.485-0.765 THz with a continuous-wave source and in the temperature range of 30-350 K as a function of polarization angle. The fine splitting of ...

Constraining the photon coupling of ultra-light dark-matter axion-like particles by polarization variations of parsec-scale jets in active galaxies

Mikhail Ivanov

Dark matter may consist of axion-like particles with ultra-low masses. Two-photon interactions of these particles affect the polarization of radiation propagating through the dark matter. Coherent oscillations of the Bose condensate of the particles induce ...

Tailored-Potential Semiconductor Quantum Nanostructures Grown in Inverted Pyramids

Mikhail Lazarev

We have focused on the ability to tune the aluminum (Al) content of the AlGaAs alloy along the growth direction in inverted pyramids (by MOVPE), thus tailoring the potential along a QWR nanostructure. Three parabolic-potential QDs (PQDs) of different poten ...

Ferroelectric Self-Poling in GeTe Films and Crystals

Jan Hugo Dil

Ferroelectric materials are used in actuators or sensors because of their non-volatile macroscopic electric polarization. GeTe is the simplest known diatomic ferroelectric endowed with exceedingly complex physics related to its crystalline, amorphous, ther ...
