Samuel Berweger, Fei Zhang, Bryon Larson, Andrew Ferguson, Axel Palmstrom, Obadiah Reid, Thomas Mitchell (Mitch) Wallis, Kai Zhu, Joseph Berry, Pavel Kabos, Sanjini Nanayakkara
The excellent optoelectronic properties of lead-halide perovskite thin films are complemented by their tolerance to broad compositional variations and associated strain, which allows tuning of desired properties such as the optical bandgap. On the other

Strong coupling between a topological insulator and a III-V heterostructure at terahertz frequency

March 8, 2022
Author(s)
Garnett W. Bryant, D. Quang To, Zhengtianye Wang, Q. Dai Ho, Ruiqi Hu, Wilder Acuna, Yongchen Liu, Anderson Janotti, Joshua Zide, Stephanie Law, Matthew Doty
We probe theoretically the emergence of strong coupling in a system consisting of a topological insulator (TI) and a III-V heterostructure using a numerical approach based on the scattering matrix formalism. Speci cally, we investigate the interactions

Impacts of ingested MWCNT-Embedded nanocomposites in Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes)
