A family of models is proposed to describe the motion of holes in a fluctuating quantum dimer background on the square lattice. Following Castelnovo et al. [Ann. Phys. (N.Y.) 318, 316 (2005)], a generalized Rokhsar-Kivelson Hamiltonian at finite doping whi ...
We investigate the phase diagram of the t−J model on a triangular lattice using a variational Monte Carlo approach. We use an extended set of Gutzwiller projected fermionic trial wave functions allowing for simultaneous magnetic and superconducting order p ...
The electrons of the surface states on the (I 11) surfaces of the noble metals An, Ag, and Cu form a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) free electron gas which is confined to the first few atomic layers at the crystal surface. They are scattered by the potential a ...
Titanium dioxide is a cheap, chemically stable and non-toxic material. However its electrical properties are unstable and it is a modest semiconductor and a mediocre insulator. For several applications it would be interesting to make it either more insulat ...
The domain nucleation and growth during polarization switching in Pb(Zr,Ti)O-3 (PZT) ferroelectric thin film capacitors with Pt top (TE) and bottom electrodes (BE) were studied by means of atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental configuration used ...
We present a novel method for the fabrication of well-ordered, two-dimensional nanocluster arrays. The method is based on the confined nucleation of adatoms within the superstructure cells of periodic surface dislocation networks, which form in many hetero ...
We have investigated by TEM InAlAs/InGa1-xAs/InP heterostructures grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy. Our interest has been focused on the effects of the growth temperature tin the range T-g=470 degrees C-->530 degrees C), well composition (x(In)=53%-->80%) a ...
GaN grown by three different methods (MOVPE, GSMBE and HVPE) have been studied using temperature (T) dependent reflectivity and photoluminescence (PL). Both non intentionally doped (MOVPE, GSMBE and HVPE), n- and p-doped samples (MOVPE and GSMBE) have been ...
By using pyran-containing donor-acceptor dyes as doping molecules in organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), we scrutinize the effects of charge trapping and polarization induced by the guest molecules in the electro-active host material. Laser dyes 4-(dic ...
