Abstract Due to miniaturization of device dimensions, the next generation’s photodetector based devices are expected to be fabricated from robust nanostructured materials. Hence there is an utmost requirement of investigating exotic optoelectronic properties of nanodevices fabricated from new novel materials and testi…

We theoretically investigate the low-temperature phase of the recently synthesized Lu$_2$Mo$_2$O$_5$N$_2$ material, an extraordinarily rare realization of a $S=1/2$ three-dimensional pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet in which Mo$^{5+}$ are the $S=1/2$ magnetic species. Despite a Curie-Weiss temperature ($Θ_{\rm CW…

We present a terahertz (THz) frequency-domain spectroscopic (FDS) ellipsometer design which suppresses formation of standing waves by use of stealth technology approaches. The strategy to suppress standing waves consists of three elements \textit{geometry}, \textit{coating} and \textit{modulation}. The instrument is b…

Range separated hybrid density functionals are very successful in describing a wide range of molecular and solid state properties accurately. Range separated hybrid functionals are designed from spherically averaged or system averaged reversed engineered exchange hole. In the present attempt, we employ screened range…

Magnetoresistance as a tool of basic parameters determination of minority charge carriers and the ratio of minority charge carriers conductivity to majority ones in solid matter has been considered within the framework of the phenomenological two-band model. The criterion of the application of this model has been foun…

Ge-on-Si structures with three different dopants (P, As and B) and those without intentional doping were grown and annealed. Several different materials characterization methods have been performed to characterize the Ge film quality. All samples have a smooth surface (roughness < 1.5 nm), and the Ge films are almost…

In this letter, we describe the stabilization of indium antimonide (InSb) in the high-pressure orthorhombic phase (InSb-III) at ambient conditions. Until now, InSb-III has only been observed above 9 GPa, or at around 3 GPa as a metastable structure during the phase transition from cubic zinc blende (InSb-I) to orthorh…

Nd2Hf2O7, belonging to the family of geometrically frustrated cubic rare earth pyrochlore oxides, was recently identified to order antiferromagnetically below T_N = 0.55 K with an all-in/all-out arrangement of Nd3+ moments, however with a much reduced ordered state moment. Herein we investigate the spin dynamics and c…

Linear chains of about 10-13 carbon atoms were predicted to be the most favorable phase on different metal surfaces prior to graphene nucleation. However, unlike the graphene that widely studied both theoretically and experimentally, carbon chains on metal surfaces were not directly studied by STM yet. Here we fill in…

We present a study of the lower critical field, \hc1, of \STO as a function of carrier concentration with the aim of quantifying the superfluid density. At low carrier concentration (i.e. the underdoped side), superfluid density and the carrier concentration in the normal state are equal within experimental margin. A…
