Probing the dielectric response of the interfacial buffer layer in epitaxial graphene via optical spectroscopy

November 28, 2017
Author(s)
Heather M. Hill, Albert Rigosi, Sugata Chowdhury, Yanfei Yang, Nhan Van Nguyen, Francesca Tavazza, Randolph Elmquist, David B. Newell, Angela R. Hight Walker
Monolayer epitaxial graphene (EG) is a suitable candidate for a variety of electronic applications. One advantage of EG growth on the Si face of SiC is that it develops as a single crystal, as does the layer below, referred to as the interfacial buffer

We report high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid 4He under saturated vapor pressure. There is excellent agreement between the observed scattering and ab initio predictions of its lineshape. quantum Monte Carlo calculations

Local field effect on charge-capture/emission dynamics

October 30, 2017
Author(s)
Kin P. Cheung, Dmitry Veksler, Jason P. Campbell
Charge-capture/emission is ubiquitous in solid state devices. Its dynamics often play critical roles in device operation and reliability. Treatment of this basic process is found in many text books and is considered well understood. As in many solid state

Phase Competition in the Palmer-Chalker XY Pyrochlore Er 2 Pt 2 O 7

We report neutron scattering measurements on Er 2Pt 2O 7, a new addition to the XY family of frustrated pyrochlore magnets. Symmetry analysis of our elastic scattering data shows that Er 2Pt 2Od7^ is the first XY pyrochlore to order into the κ = 0,Γ 7

We report a microstructure-induced uniaxial anisotropy in V 2O 3/Ni hybrid thin films obtained from temperature and angular dependence of the magnetization. X-ray diffraction and reciprocal space maps identify the in-plane crystalline axes of the V 2O 3
