We study non-interacting systems with a power-law quasiparticle dispersion $ξ_{\bf k}\propto k^α$ and a random short-range-correlated potential. We show that, unlike the case of lower dimensions, for $d>2α$ there exists a critical disorder strength (set by the band width), at which the system exhibits a disorder-drive…

Electric-field control of spin-dependent properties has become one of the most attractive phenomena in modern materials research due to the promise of new device functionalities. One of the paradigms in this approach is to electrically toggle the spin polarization of carriers injected into a semiconductor using ferroe…

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting nanosheets have emerged as an important field of materials, owing to their unique properties and potential applications in areas ranging from electronics to catalysis. However, the controlled synthesis of ultrathin 2D nanosheets remains a great challenge, due to the lack of an intri…

Ultrasmall bimetallic nanoclusters (or bi‐MNCs for short) have recently emerged as a new class of multi‐functional nanoparticles due to their ultrasmall size (typically below 2 nm), unique molecular‐like properties (e.g., quantized charging and strong luminescence), controlled cluster compositions (at the atomic level…

Different protocols for calibrating electron pair distribution function (ePDF) measurements are explored and described for quantitative studies on nanomaterials. It is found that the most accurate approach to determine the camera length is to use a standard calibration sample of Au nanoparticles from the National Inst…

We report on the enhancement of the spontaneous emission in the visible red spectral range from site-controlled InP/GaInP quantum dots by resonant coupling to Tammplasmon modes confined beneath gold disks in a hybrid metal/semiconductor structure. The enhancement of the emission intensity is confirmed by spatially res…

The ZrCo intermetallic was proposed as tritium storage material in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactors (ITER) project. The thermodynamic properties of ZrCo intermetallic were investigated both experimentally and theoretically to determine its applicability for the storage of hydrogen isotopes. The en…

We study the interface evolution of a series of periodic Co/Mo2C multilayers as a function of the annealing temperature up to 600{\textdegree}C. Different complementary techniques are implemented to get information on the phenomenon taking place at the interfaces of the stack. The periodical structure of Co/Mo2C multi…

The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in an in-plane anisotropic Pt(4nm)/Co(1.6nm)/Ni(1.6nm) film has been directly observed by Brillouin spectroscopy. It is manifested in the asymmetry of the measured magnon dispersion relation, from which the DMI constant has been evaluated. Linewidth measurements…

We study properties of electrons on illuminated surfaces of SrTiO3 with titanium dxz_dyz and dxy bands for their spectrum. Recently A. F. Santander-Syro et al [Nature Materials, 13, 1085 (2014)] found that the dxy bands actually comprise two chiral branches with the Kramers degeneracy at the zone center lifted in abse…

Dimension reduction procedure is the recipe to represent defects in two dimensional dislocation dynamics according to the changes in the geometrical properties of the defects triggered by different conditions such as radiation, high temperature, or pressure. In the present study, this procedure is extended to incorpor…

A new instrument for spot profile analysis of electron diffraction - SPA-LEED - has been set up. The instrument works either with a transparent phosphor screen for visual inspection of the pattern or in its main mode with a channeltron for the measurement of the intensity. The diffraction pattern is recorded with a fi…

A well ordered Fe(001) ultra thin film epitaxially grown on MgO(001) has been oxidized by post deposition annealing in oxygen atmosphere. LEED patterns indicate the formation of magnetite (Fe$_3$O$_4$) after one hour of oxygen exposure. The LEED pattern remains stable despite annealing the sample for further four hour…

Recent advances in focused ion beam technology have enabled high-resolution, direct-write nanofabrication using light ions. Studies with light ions to date have, however, focused on milling of materials where sub-surface ion beam damage does not inhibit device performance. Here we report on direct-write milling of sin…

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to reduce the mutual coupling between two closely spaced strip dipole antennas with the elliptical metasurfaces formed by conformal and confocal printed arrays of subwavelength periodic elements. We show that by covering each strip with the metasurface cloak, the antennas bec…
