We show that the electron mobility in ideal, free-standing two-dimensional ``buckled'' crystals with broken horizontal mirror (${\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{h}}$) symmetry and Dirac-like dispersion (such as silicene and germanene) is dramatically affected by scattering with the acoustic flexural modes (ZA phonons).…
Interplays between charge and electric field, which play a critical role in determining the charge transport, recombination, storage and hysteresis in the perovskite solar cell, have been systematically investigated by both electrical transient experiments and theoretical calculations. It is found that the light illum…
We report single crystal growth of the series of CeTAl$_3$ compounds with T = Cu, Ag, Au, Pd and Pt by means of optical float zoning. High crystalline quality was confirmed in a thorough characterization process. With the exception of CeAgAl$_3$, all compounds crystallize in the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal BaNiSn$_…
We report results of investigation of the current-carrying capacity of nanowires made from the quasi-1D van der Waals metal tantalum triselenide capped with quasi-2D boron nitride. The chemical vapor transport method followed by chemical and mechanical exfoliation were used to fabricate mm-long TaSe3 wires with latera…
Jammed packings of repulsive elastic spheres have emerged as a rich model system within which elastic properties of disordered glassy materials may be elucidated. Most of the work on these packings have focused on the case of vanishing temperature. Here, we explore the elastic properties of the associated connectivity…
We report an investigation of temperature and IrMn layered thickness dependence of anomalous-Hall resistance (AHR), anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR), and magnetization on Pt/Ir20Mn80/Y3Fe5O12 (Pt/IrMn/YIG) heterostructures. The magnitude of AHR is dramatically enhanced compared with Pt/YIG bilayers. The enhancement…
The recently discovered Dirac and Weyl semimetals are new members of topological materials. Starting from them, topological superconductivity may be achieved, e.g. by carrier doping or applying pressure. Here we report high-pressure resistance and X-ray diffraction study of the three-dimensional topological Dirac semi…
The dipolar interaction is known to substantially affect the properties of magnetic nanoparticles. This is particularly important when the particles are kept in a fluid suspension or packed inside nano-carriers. In addition to its usual long-range nature, in these cases the dipolar interaction may also induce the form…
Symmetry and magnitude of spin-orbit torques (SOT), i.e., current-induced torques on the magnetization of systems lacking inversion symmetry, are investigated in a fully relativistic linear response framework based on the Kubo formalism. By applying all space-time symmetry operations contained in the magnetic point gr…
The electric field (EF) effect on the magnetic domain structure of a Pt/Co system was studied, where an EF was applied to the top surface of the Co layer. The width of the maze domain was significantly modified by the application of the EF at a temperature slightly below the Curie temperature. After a detailed analysi…
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) adapts an atomic force microscope to measure electric potential on surfaces at nanometer length scales. Here we demonstrate that Heterodyne-KPFM enables scan rates of several frames per minute in air, and concurrently maintains spatial resolution and voltage sensitivity comparable…
We have spectroscopically determined the optical bandgaps and band offsets at epitaxial interfaces of BaSnO3 with SrTiO3(001) and LaAlO3(001). 28 u.c. BaSnO3 epitaxial films exhibit direct and indirect bandgaps of 3.56 ± 0.05 eV and 2.93 ± 0.05 eV, respectively. The lack of a significant Burstein-Moss shift corroborat…
A linear response theory for electron-hole pair density is developed, which constitutes a new theoretical method, and a definition of exciton density in a first-principles context is derived by considering both the electron-hole attractive interaction and the screening effect. This allows the exciton time evolution to…
We present a generalized model to describe the lattice thermal conductivity of low-dimensional (low-D) and disordered systems. The model is a straightforward generalization of the Debye-Peierls and Allen-Feldman schemes to arbitrary dimensions, accounting for low-D effects such as differences in dispersion, density of…
Theoretical description of the charge transfer (CT) exciton across the donor-acceptor interface without the use of a completely localized hole (or electron) is a challenge in the field of organic solar cells. We calculate the total wavefunction of the CT exciton by solving an effective two-particle Schrodinger equatio…
Multi-phase materials are key for modern engineering applications. They are generally characterized by a high strength and ductility. Many of these materials fail by ductile fracture of the, generally softer, matrix phase. In this work we systematically study the influence of the arrangement of the phases by correlati…
We analyse the equilibrium pile-up configurations of infinite periodic walls of edge dislocations which are forced against an impenetrable obstacle by a constant applied shear stress. Numerically generated density distributions exhibit two distinct regions, for each of which we provide an interpretation and an analyti…
The behavior of hydrogen in iron and iron alloys is of interest in many fields of physics and materials science. To enable large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of systems with Fe-H interactions, we develop, based on density-functional theory calculations, an interatomic Fe-H potential in the Tersoff-Brenner form…
We present the detailed study of the spin kinetics of the nitrogen (N) donor electrons in 6H SiC wafers grown by Lely method and by sublimation "sandwich method" (SSM) with a donor concentration of about 10^17 cm^-3 at T = 10-40 K. The donor electrons of the N donors substituting quasi-cubic "k1" and "k2" sites (Nk1,k…
We investigate optically induced ultrafast magnetization dynamics in [Co(0.5 nm)/Pd(1 nm)]x5/NiFe(t) exchange-spring samples with tilted perpendicular magnetic anisotropy using a time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometer. The competition between the out-of-plane anisotropy of the hard layer, the in-plane…
