A series of high-pressure electrical resistivity measurements on single crystals of TbTe3 reveal a complex phase diagram involving the interplay of superconducting, antiferromagnetic and charge-density-wave order. The onset of superconductivity reaches a maximum of almost 4 K (onset) near approximately 12.4 GPa.

Multiple energy scales contribute to the radiative properties of colloidal quantum dots, including magnetic interactions, crystal field splitting, Pauli exclusion, and phonons. Identification of the exact physical mechanism which couples first to the dark ground state of colloidal quantum dots, inducing a significant…

We propose a design and numerical study of an optically tunable metamaterial based on an electric-field-coupled inductor-capacitor resonator variant in the terahertz regime. In contrast to earlier proposed structures, we demonstrate that a blueshift of the resonance frequency under illumination can be accomplished wit…

We present a high-resolution synchrotron powder-diffraction investigation on ${\text{NdNiO}}_{3}$ that confirms the presence on long-range charge order below the metal-insulator transition previously reported at ${T}_{\text{MI}}=205\text{ }\text{K}$. The monoclinic symmetry of the insulating state is unambiguously pro…

Supported nanoparticles (SNPs) with narrow size distribution were prepared by H(2) reduction of Pd(2+) previously bound to ligand-modified silica surfaces. Interestingly, the size of the Pd(0) SNPs was tuned by the ligand grafted on the support surface. Amino- and ethylenediamino-functionalized supports formed Pd(0) S…

We have tuned in situ the proximity effect in a single graphene layer coupled to two Pt/Ta superconducting electrodes. An annealing current through the device changed the transmission coefficient of the electrode/graphene interface, increasing the probability of multiple Andreev reflections. Repeated annealing steps i…

In this paper the magnetic behaviour of undoped and 15% F doped SmFeAsO (Sm-1111) and LaFeAsO (La-1111) samples is presented and discussed. Magnetization measurements are not a simple tool to use for the characterisation of the new family of Fe-based superconductors because magnetic impurities can be easily formed dur…

We use the nonequilibrium Green function method in the ballistic limit to provide a quantitative description of the conductance of graphene p-n junctions—an important building block for graphene electronics devices. In this paper, recent experiments on graphene junctions are explained by a ballistic transport model, b…

Among the various alkali oxides the sesquioxides Rb4O6 and Cs4O6 are of special interest. Electronic structure calculations using the local spin-density approximation predicted that Rb4O6 should be a half-metallic ferromagnet, which was later contradicted when an experimental investigation of the temperature dependent…

We report on optical reflection measurements of thin Au films at and around the percolation threshold (film thickness 3 to 10 nm) in an extremely broad spectral range from 500 to 35000 cm-1 (0.3 - 20 *10-6 m). Combining spectroscopic ellipsometry and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, the dielectric properties o…

Abstract Polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites with multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNT) were produced by a small‐scale masterbatch melt dilution technique using five PP differing in melt flow index (MFI) and degree of maleination. PP used in a masterbatch has MFI = 12 (PP 12 ), the others used PP which have MFI = 2 or MFI…

Adiabatic shuttling of single impurity bound electrons to gate induced surface states in semiconductors has attracted much attention in recent times, mostly in the context of solid-state quantum computer architecture. A recent transport spectroscopy experiment for the first time was able to probe the Stark shifted spe…

We introduce an alternative approach to the first-principles calculation of NMR shielding tensors. These are obtained from the derivative of the orbital magnetization with respect to the application of a microscopic, localized magnetic dipole. The approach is simple, general, and can be applied to either isolated or p…

We studied optical absorption of single-walled carbon nanotubes by varying the dielectric environment. For the two different components of the broad UV-absorption feature conventionally referred to as the $\ensuremath{\pi}$ plasmon, we find that the component at 5.0--5.3 eV exhibits remarkable spectral changes, which…

In double spin filter (SF) tunnel junctions, the spin information is generated and analyzed purely from the SF effect with nonmagnetic electrodes. In this article we numerically evaluate the bias dependence of magnetoresistance in such tunnel junctions (nonmagnetic metal / SF / nonmagnetic insulator / SF / nonmagnetic…

We investigate the atomic hydrogen adsorption on Mg(0001) by using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation and a supercell approach. The coverage dependence of the adsorption structures and energetics is systematically studied for a wide range of coverage and adsorption sites. In the co…

Experimental studies of FeCoB/MgO/FeCoB tunnel junctions indicate that boron diffuses into MgO during rf-sputtering and forms polycrystalline Mg-B-O regions. These tunnel junctions provide high tunneling magnetoresistance values and low RA products. However the crystal structure of the Mg-B-O region remains unknown. U…

We compare femtosecond pump-probe experiments in Ni and micromagnetic modelling based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation coupled to a two-temperature model, revealing a predominant thermal ultrafast demagnetization mechanism.
