Pulsed laser ablation of Ni targets in liquid CO2near the critical point (C.P.) (Pcrit= 7.38 MPa, Tcrit= 304.1 K) was performed and the time evolution of the plasma and the ensuing cavitation bubble analyzed by shadowgraph imaging. Formation of double-layered anomalous cavitation bubbles was observed inside the liquid…

We have studied the Raman spectrum and photoemission of hybrid magneto-fullerene devices. For C60 layers on cobalt, the spin polarized electron transfer shifts the photoemission energy, reducing the zero phonon contribution. The total luminescence of hybrid devices can be controlled via spin injection from magnetic el…

The standard method for determining the contact resistance of planar metal-semiconductor interfaces can underestimate the true contact resistance under normal operating conditions, as it relies on the resistivity of the semiconductor material remaining constant during measurement. However, the strong temperature depen…

The surface states of a topological insulator in a fine-tuned magnetic field are ideal candidates for realizing a topological metal which is protected against disorder. Its signatures are (i) a conductance plateau in long wires in a finely tuned longitudinal magnetic field and (ii) a conductivity which always increase…

Lubricants are important components of almost all air conditioning and refrigeration systems. Their primary function is to lubricate the compressor, provide sealing of clearances between low and high pressure sides of the compressor and remove frictional heat. But the lubricant is in contact with refrigerant at all ti…
