Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Solar Materials

Natural foundations defining the manner in which a solid material interacts with optical radiation are primarily encoded in the material's momentum-dependent band structure and the microscopic details of the electron-lattice interactions. An access to this ...

Temperature-dependent electron-phonon coupling in La_{2−x}Sr_{x}CuO_{4} probed by femtosecond x-ray diffraction

Majed Chergui, Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Fabrizio Carbone, Paul Beaud, Krunoslav Prsa, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Mathieu Julien Gino Cottet, Kazimierz Conder

The strength of the electron-phonon coupling parameter and its evolution throughout a solid's phase diagram often determines phenomena such as superconductivity, charge- and spin-density waves. Its experimental determination relies on the ability to distin ...

Real-Time Observation of Cuprates Structural Dynamics by Ultrafast Electron Crystallography

Fabrizio Carbone

The phonon-mediated attractive interaction between carriers leads to the Cooper pair formation in conventional superconductors. Despite decades of research, the glue holding Cooper pairs in high-temperature superconducting cuprates is still controversial, ...

Fermi surface determination from wavevector quantization in LaSrCuO films

Davor Pavuna, Claudia Cancellieri, Ping-Hui Lin

We have observed the wavevector quantization in LaSrCuO films thinner than 12 unit cells grown on SrTiO3 substrates. Low energy dispersions were determined in situ for different photon energies by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy. From the wavevec ...

The growth by laser ablation and electronic properties of thin cuprate films

Claudia Cancellieri

In my thesis work I have concentrated on the growth and the in-depth analysis of high temperature superconducting thin films with the central aim to elucidate their electronic properties, predominantly by in-situ angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy ( ...

Polarons and confinement of electronic motion to two dimensions in a layered manganite

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow

A remarkable feature of layered transition-metal oxides-most famously, the high-temperature superconductors-is that they can display hugely anisotropic electrical and optical properties (for example, seeming to be insulating perpendicular to the layers and ...

Calcul des opacités de plasmas denses. Eclatement du spectre dû aux interactions électroniques dans le cas du fer

Radiative transfer is often the dominant energy transport channel in inertial confinement fusion experiments. It is a basic process needed in order to understand the behaviour of astrophysical plasmas, like stellar atmospheres and the inner parts of stars. ...

Diamagnetic currents

Nicolas Macris

Abstract We study the diamagnetic surface currents of particles in thermal equilibrium submitted to a constant magnetic field. The current density of independent electrons with Boltzmann (respectively Fermi) statistics has a gaussian (respectively exponent ...
