Isotopic effects on in-plane hyperbolic phonon polaritons in MoO3

March 4, 2024
Author(s)
Jeremy Schultz, Sergiy Krylyuk, Jeffrey Schwartz, Albert Davydov, Andrea Centrone
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs), hybrids of light and lattice vibrations in polar dielectric crystals, empower nano-photonic applications by enabling the confinement and manipulation of light at the nanoscale. Molybdenum trioxide (α-MoO3) is a

Mid-Infrared, Near-Infrared, and Visible Nanospectroscopy of Hydrogen-Intercalated MoO3

August 21, 2023
Author(s)
Jeffrey Schwartz, Sergiy Krylyuk, Devon Jakob, Albert Davydov, Andrea Centrone
Control over the local chemical composition and spatial heterogeneities in nanomaterials provides a means to impart new functions and to tailor their properties in many applications. For two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials, intercalation is one

Evaluating the thermal performance of perovskite SrSnO3 field effect transistors

July 13, 2023
Author(s)
Bivek Bista, Prafful Golani, Fengdeng Liu, Tristan Truttmann, Georges Pavlidis, Andrea Centrone, Bharat Jalan, Steven Koester
Given the ever increasing, global electricity consumption, improving the efficiency and reliability of high-power electronics is of paramount importance. Ultra-wide band gap (> 3.4 eV) semiconductors have shown the potential to be used in the next

Direct Visualization of Chemically Resolved Multilayered Domains in Mixed-Linker Metal-Organic Frameworks

June 15, 2023
Author(s)
Andrea Centrone, Belen Lerma-Berlanga, Adam Biacchi, Carmen Fernandez Conde, Georges Pavlidis, Carlos Marti-Gastaldo
The modular synthesis approach for assembling inorganic nodes and organic multidentate linkers into reticular solids enables rational engineering in porous materials known as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). Incorporation of two or more linker types in MOF

Thermal environment impact on HfOx RRAM operation: A nanoscale thermometry and modeling study

May 8, 2023
Author(s)
Matthew West, Georges Pavlidis, Robert Montgomery, Fabia Farlin Athena, Muhammad Jamil, Andrea Centrone, Samuel Graham, Eric Vogel
As the demand for computing applications capable of processing large datasets increases, there is a growing need for new in-memory computing technologies that avoid the von Neumann bottleneck. Oxide-based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices are a

Beating thermal noise in a dynamic signal measurement by a nanofabricated cavity-optomechanical sensor

March 15, 2023
Author(s)
Mingkang Wang, Diego Perez Morelo, Georg Ramer, Georges Pavlidis, Jeffrey Schwartz, Liya Yu, Robert Ilic, Andrea Centrone, Vladimir Aksyuk
Thermal fluctuations often impose both fundamental and practical measurement limits on high-performance sensors, motivating the development of techniques that bypass the limitations imposed by thermal noise outside cryogenic environments. Here, we

High throughput nanoimaging of thermal conductivity and interfacial thermal conductance

May 17, 2022
Author(s)
Mingkang Wang, Georg Ramer, Diego Perez, Georges Pavlidis, Jeffrey Schwartz, Liya Yu, Robert Ilic, Vladimir Aksyuk, Andrea Centrone
Thermal properties of materials are often determined by measuring thermalization processes. Measuring such properties at the nanoscale, however, requires high sensitivity, high temporal, and high spatial resolutions concurrently, which is beyond the

Micro to nano: multiscale IR analyses reveal zinc soap heterogeneity in a 19th-century painting by Corot

February 9, 2022
Author(s)
Xiao Ma, Georges Pavlidis, Eoghan Dillon, Victoria Beltran, Jeffrey Schwartz, Mathieu Thoury, Ferenc Borondics, Christophe Sandt, Kevin Kjoller, Barbara Berrie, Andrea Centrone
The formation and aggregation of metal carboxylates (metal-soaps) can degrade the appearance and integrity of oil paints and frequently poses a challenge to the conservation of painted works of art. Efforts to understand the root cause of metal-soap

Experimental confirmation of long hyperbolic polariton lifetimes in monoisotopic (10B) hexagonal boron nitride at room temperature

September 14, 2021
Author(s)
Georges Pavlidis, Jeffrey Schwartz, Joseph Matson, Thomas Folland, Song Liu, James Edgar, Joshua Caldwell, Andrea Centrone
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) enable arbitrarily high confinements, low losses, and directional propagation – providing opportunities from hyperlensing to flat optics, and other advanced nanophotonics applications. In this work, two near-field

Substrate-mediated hyperbolic phonon polaritons in MoO3

February 15, 2021
Author(s)
Jeffrey Schwartz, Son T. Le, Sergiy Krylyuk, Curt A. Richter, Albert Davydov, Andrea Centrone
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons (HPhPs) are hybrid excitations of light and coherent charge oscillations that exist in strongly optically anisotropic, two-dimensional materials (e.g., MoO3). These polaritons propagate through the material's volume with long
