Visualizing Localized, Radiative Defects in GaAs Solar Cells

September 1, 2022
Author(s)
Behrang Hamadani, Margaret Stevens, Brianna Conrad, Matthew Lumb, Kenneth Schmieder
We have used a calibrated, wide-field hyperspectral imaging instrument to obtain absolute spectrally and spatially resolved photoluminescence images in high growth-rate, rear-junction GaAs solar cells from 300 K to 77 K. At the site of some localized

c-axis Transport in UTe2: Evidence of Three-Dimensional Conductivity Component

Yun S. Eo, Shouzheng Liu, Shanta Saha, Hyunsoo Kim, Sheng Ran, Jarryd A. Horn, Halyna Hodovanets, John Collini, Tristin Metz, Wesley T. Fuhrman, Andriy H. Nevidomskyy, Jonathan D. Denlinger, Nicholas Butch, Michael S. Fuhrer, L. A. Wray, Johnpierre Paglione
We study the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity for currents directed along all crystallographic axes of the spin-triplet superconductor UTe 2. We focus particularly on an accurate determination of the resistivity along the c-axis (ρ c) by

The advent of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has revolutionized fundamental science, from atomic to condensed matter physics, from chemistry to biology, giving researchers access to X-rays with unprecedented brightness, coherence, and pulse duration

Connecting entropy scaling and density scaling

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Robin Fingerhut, Jadran Vrabec, Lorenzo Costigliola
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual

Towards Understanding the Magnetic Properties of the Breathing Pyrochlore Compound Ba 3 Yb 2 Zn 5 O 11 through Single-Crystal Studies

Sachith Dissanayake, Zhenzhong Shi, Jeffrey Rau, Rabindranath Bag, William Steinhardt, Nicholas Butch, Matthias Frontzek, Andrey Podlesnyak, David Graf, Casey Marjerrison, Jue Liu, Michel J. Gingras, Sara Haravifard
Ba 3Yb 2Zn 5O 11 is unique among breathing pyrochlore compounds for being in the nearly-decoupled limit where inter-tetrahedra interactions are weak, hosting isolated clusters or molecular magnet like tetrahedra of magnetic ytterbium (Ybu3+^) ions. In this

Transport Properties of Few-Layer NbSe2: from Electronic Structure to Thermoelectric Properties

Tianhui Zhu, Peter Litwin, Md Golam Rosul, Devin Jessup, Md Sabbir Akhanda, Farjana Tonni, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Petra Reinke, Stephen McDonnell, Mona Zebarjadi
4-layer NbSe2 is grown on SiO2 by molecular beam epitaxy. The in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements suggest a Nb-rich stoichiometry (Nb1+xSe2) likely due to intercalation of Nb atoms in between the NbSe2 layers. The metallic nature of

Magnetic-field sensitive charge density wave orders in the superconducting phase of UTe2

Author(s)
Anuva Aishwarya, Julian May-Mann, Arjun Raghavan, Laimei Nie, Marisa Romanelli, Sheng Ran, Shanta Saha, Johnpierre Paglione, Nicholas Butch, Eduardo Fradkin, Vidya Madhavan
The intense interest in triplet superconductivity partly stems from theoretical predictions of exotic excitations such as non-abelian Majorana modes, chiral supercurrents, and half-quantum vortices. However, fundamentally new, and unexpected states may

Topological surface states are a new class of electronic states with novel properties, including the potential for annihilation between surface states from two topological insulators at a common interface. Here, we report the annihilation and creation of

Incommensurate Magnetic Orders and Possible Topological Hall Effect in the Square-Net Centrosymmetric EuGa 2 Al 2 System

Jaime Moya, Shiming Lei, Eleanor Clements, Caitlin Kengle, Stella Sun, Kevin Allen, Qizhi Li, Y. Peng, Ali Husain, Matteo Mitrano, Matthew Krogstad, Raymond Osborn, Anand Puthirath, Songxue Chi, Lisa Debeer-Schmitt, Jonathan N. Gaudet, P. Abbamonte, Jeffrey Lynn, E. Morosan
Neutron diffraction on the centrosymmetric square-net magnet EuGa 2Al 2 reveals multiple incommensurate magnetic states (AFM1,2,3) in zero field. In applied field, a new magnetic phase (A) is identified from magnetization and transport measurements

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are promising materials for IR light detection due to their tunable bandgap and their solution processing; however, to date, the time response of CQD IR photodiodes has been inferior to that provided by Si and InGaAs. We
