The size dependence of electron-phonon coupling rate has been investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy for gold nanoparticles (NPs) wrapped in a shell of sulfate with diameter varying from 1.7 to 9.2 nm. Broad-band spectroscopy gives a ...
The thermal conductivity of ideal short-period superlattices is computed using harmonic and anharmonic force constants derived from density-functional perturbation theory and by solving the Boltzmann transport equation in the single-mode relaxation time ap ...
The effects of spin-phonon interaction and magnetic anisotropy on the temperature dependence of the infrared optical phonon modes in the antiferromagnetic alpha-MnSe are investigated by use of Green’s function formalism within 1/z perturbation framework. T ...
We present an energy-balance model of the electronic intersubband relaxation in optically excited n-type Ge/SiGe quantum wells with absorption resonance in the THz range. To this aim, the energy relaxation rates of the electron system due to interactions w ...
Doping and temperature dependent studies of optical phonon modes in Fe-122 pnictides are performed using Raman scattering experiments and compared with model calculations to elucidate the role of electron-phonon and spin-phonon interaction in this family o ...
The infrared reflectance of the transition-metal chalcogenide 1T-TaS2 has been measured at temperatures from 30 K to 360 K over 30-45 000 cm(-1) (4 meV-5.5 eV). The optical conductivity was obtained by Kramers-Kronig analysis. At 360 K only modest traces o ...
