We report emission from a bismuth doped chalcogenide glass which is flattened, has a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 600 nm, peaks at 1300 nm and covers the entire telecommunications window. At cryogenic temperatures the FWHM reaches 850 nm. The quantum efficiency and lifetime were as high as 32% and 175 mus, res…
We propose a polarimetric method for measuring the tilt angle of the LC director at an LC layer interface.The method involves the use of an LC cell operating in the mode of the total internal reflection of the ordinary wave. The method is based on measuring the angle of the plane of light incidence on the cell with th…
Transient state of femtosecond laser excited bismuth has been studied by various groups with time-resolved optical, x-ray, and electron probes at the deposited energy density from below through up to several times the equilibrium enthalpy of melting. However, the interpretations of the experimental results are controv…
We fabricated p-i-n diodes by sputtering alternating layers of silicon dioxide and silicon rich oxide with a nominal atomic ratio O/Si=0.7 onto quartz substrates with in situ boron for p-type and phosphorus for n-type doping. After crystallization, dark and illuminated I-V characteristics show a diode behavior with an…
Surface modification of nanocrystalline TiO(2) particles (45 A) with bidentate benzene derivatives (catechol, pyrogallol, and gallic acid) was found to alter optical properties of nanoparticles. The formation of the inner-sphere charge-transfer complexes results in a red shift of the semiconductor absorption compared…
In this work, we report a facile solution-phase synthesis of hollow cubic phase α-NaYF 4 nanoparticles by a controlled ion exchange process from cubic phase Y 2 O 3 nanospheres. We demonstrate that hollow nanoparticles with controlled size are formed owing to the nanoscale Kirkendall effect. The formation mechanism wa…
A noncentrosymmetric (NCS) polar compound, Pb 3 SeO 5, has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Pb 3 SeO 5 exhibits a two-dimensional crystal structure consisting of layers of α-PbO-like “slabs” that are linked through SeO 3 polyhedra. Structurally, it is…
Anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) is a relativistic magnetotransport phenomenon arising from combined effects of spin-orbit coupling and broken symmetry of a ferromagnetically ordered state of the system. In this work we focus on one realization of the AMR in which spin-orbit coupling enters via specific spin-textur…
Crystal structure and magnetic properties of the layered vanadium phosphate PbZnVO(PO4)2 are studied using x-ray powder diffraction, magnetization and specific heat measurements, as well as band structure calculations. The compound resembles AA'VO(PO4)2 vanadium phosphates and fits to the extended frustrated square la…
We revisit a problem of theoretical description of alpha-iron. By performing LDA+DMFT calculations in the paramagnetic phase we find that Coulomb interaction and, in particular Hund exchange, yields the formation of local moments in e_g electron band, which can be traced from imaginary time dependence of the spin-spin…
Ferromagnetism in carbon-based materials is appealing for both applications and fundamental science purposes because carbon is a light and bio-compatible material that contains only s and p electrons in contrast to traditional ferromagnets based on 3d or 4f electrons. Here we demonstrate direct evidence for ferromagne…
The band dispersion of the two highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-derived bands in thin crystalline Pentacene films grown on Bi(001) was determined by photoemission spectroscopy. Compared to first-principles calculations our data show a significantly smaller band width and a much larger band separation indicati…
We use real-time spectroscopic polarimetric observations of growth and a chemical model derived therefrom, to develop a method of growing dense, two-dimensional zinc oxide epitaxially on sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Particulate zinc oxide formed in the gas phase is used to advantage as the depos…
We report measurements of the evolution of the diffuse scattering in a single crystal PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 as a function of hydrostatic pressure. Upon applying pressure the diffuse scattering intensity decreases and is suppressed at about 3 GPa, while no change in the line shape is observed. Correlations between Pb displace…
The purpose of this text is to give a self-contained description of the basic theory of the projector augmented-wave (PAW) method, as well as most of the details required to make the method work in practice. These two topics are covered in the first two sections, while the last is dedicated to examples of how to apply…
By combining high-resolution photoelectron spectroscopy and ab initio calculations, we show that carbon nanoislands formed during the growth of a long-range ordered graphene layer on Ir(111) assume a peculiar domelike shape. The understanding of the unusual growth mechanism of these C clusters, which represent an inte…
The hydrogen storage properties of metal nanoparticles change with particle size. For example, in a palladium-hydrogen system, the hydrogen solubility and equilibrium pressure for the formation of palladium hydride decrease with a decrease in the particle size, whereas hydrogen solubility in nanoparticles of platinum,…
The structural versatility characterizing polyoxometalate chemistry, in combination with the option to deliberately use well-defined building blocks, serves as the foundation for the generation of a large family of magnetic clusters, frequently comprising highly symmetric spin arrays. If the spin centers are coupled b…
The electronic band structure of ABC-stacked multilayer graphene is studied within an effective mass approximation. The electron and hole bands touching at zero energy support chiral quasiparticles characterized by Berry's phase $N\ensuremath{\pi}$ for $N$ layers, generalizing the low-energy band structure of monolaye…
Zn-Al and Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) loaded with quinaldate and 2-mercaptobenzothiazolate anions were synthesized via anion-exchange reaction. The resulting compounds were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray s…
