First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Davide Campi, Lorenzo Paulatto, Giorgia Fugallo

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

A Theoretical Investigation of Topological Insulator Nanostructures

Naunidh Singh Virk

The topology of the electron wavefunctions in certain band insulators can give rise to novel topological phases. Materials harbouring such topological phases are termed topological insulators (TI). A gapped bulk electronic spectrum, described by a topologi ...

Scanning thermal probe microscope method for the determination of thermal diffusivity of nanocomposite thin films

Jürgen Brugger, Khushboo Agarwal

A commercial scanning thermal microscope has been upgraded to facilitate its use in estimating the radial thermal diffusivity of thin films close to room temperature. The modified setup includes a microcontroller driven microhotplate coupled with a Bluetoo ...

Momentum-Resolved Spin Dynamics of Bulk and Surface Excited States in the Topological Insulator Bi2Se3

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi

The prospect of optically inducing and controlling a spin-polarized current in spintronic devices has generated wide interest in the out-of-equilibrium electronic and spin structure of topological insulators. In this Letter we show that only measuring the ...

Thermal diffusivity measurements of templated nanocomposite using infrared thermography

Arnaud Magrez, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Manish Sharma

Electrodeposited bismuth telluride (Bi2Te3) nanowires using anodic alumina (AAO) templates show anisotropic thermal properties in a direction parallel and perpendicular to the nanowire/nanochannel axis. The present study reports thermal diffusivity measure ...

Speciation of aqueous tellurium(IV) in hydrothermal solutions and vapors, and the role of oxidized tellurium species in Te transport and gold deposition

Lothar Helm, Pascal Grundler

Despite the close association between tellurium (Te) and gold (Au) in many epithermal, orogenic, and intrusion-related hydrothermal ore deposits, the hydrothermal chemistry of Te remains poorly understood. We studied the protonation/ deprotonation and stru ...

Phonon dynamics in CuxBi2Se3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.125) and Bi2Se2 crystals studied using femtosecond spectroscopy

Jia Liu, Helmuth Berger

Phonon dynamics in Bi, Bi2Se2, and CuxBi2Se3 (x=0, 0.1, 0.125) single crystals was investigated using femtosecond pump-probe spectroscopy. Two damped oscillations in measured transient reflectivity changes were observed, respectively, attributed to coheren ...

Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of Two New Antiferromagnetic Spin Dimer Compounds; FeTe3O7X (X = Cl, Br)

Jia Liu, Helmuth Berger, Dong Zhang

Two new isostructural layered oxohalides FeTe3O7X (X = Cl, Br) were synthesized by chemical vapor transport reactions, and their crystal structures and magnetic properties were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, magnetic ...

Infrared Conductivity of Elemental Bismuth under Pressure: Evidence for an Avoided Lifshitz-Type Semimetal-Semiconductor Transition

László Forró, Dirk Van der Marel

The application of pressure to elemental bismuth reduces its conduction-valence band overlap, and results in a semimetal-semiconductor (SMSC) transition around 25 kbar. This transition is nominally of the topological "Lifshitz'' Fermi surface variety, but ...

Tellurium speciation under hydrothermal conditions

Lothar Helm, Pascal Grundler

Tellurium is the only element which forms a variety of minerals with gold as principal component (e.g. calaverite AuTe2, krennerite (AuAg)Te2, petzite Ag3AuTe2 and sylvanite AgAuTe4). These minerals have been known for a long time and are of economic value ...
