Nanoscale Growth Initiation as a Pathway to Improve the Earth-Abundant Absorber Zinc Phosphide

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Elias Zsolt Stutz, Jean-Baptiste Leran, Mahdi Zamani, Simon Robert Escobar Steinvall, Rajrupa Paul, Mirjana Dimitrievska

Growth approaches that limit the interface area between layers to nanoscale regions are emerging as a promising pathway to limit the interface defect formation due to mismatching lattice parameters or thermal expansion coefficient. Interfacial defect mitig ...

Structure evolution, bandgap, and dielectric function in La-doped hafnium oxide thin layer subjected to swift Xe ion irradiation

Philippe Buffat, Elena Suvorova Buffat

High-resolution transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, and electron energy-loss spectroscopy provide information on the structural evolution, dielectric function, and bandgap values of nanocrystalline 10nm thick lanthanum doped hafnia (La: ...

Vibrationally inelastic scattering of HCl from Ag(111)

Using molecular beam cooled samples and quantum state-selective detection, we observe v = 0 -> 1 vibrational transitions when HCl (v = 0) collides with an Ag(111) surface and derive both the incidence energy and surface temperature dependence of the transi ...

Ab initio study of electron energy loss spectra of bulk bismuth up to 100 eV

Iurii Timrov

The dynamical charge-density response of bulk bismuth has been studied within time-dependent density functional perturbation theory, explicitly accounting for spin-orbit coupling. The use of the Liouville-Lanczos approach allows us to calculate electron en ...

Negative plasmon dispersion in 2H-NbS2 beyond the charge-density-wave interpretation

Helmuth Berger

We examine the experimental and theoretical electron-energy loss spectra in 2H-Cu0.2NbS2 and find that the 1 eV plasmon in this material does not exhibit the regular positive quadratic plasmon dispersion that would be expected for a normal broad-parabolic- ...

Room-Temperature Ballistic Transport in III-Nitride Heterostructures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli

Room-temperature (RT) ballistic transport of electrons is experimentally observed and theoretically investigated in III-nitrides. This has been largely investigated at low temperatures in low band gap III-V materials due to their high electron mobilities. ...

Electron energy loss spectroscopy investigation through a nano ablated uranium dioxide sample

A lamella of uranium dioxide (similar to 10 x similar to 10 x similar to 0.02-0.20 mu m) was produced by focused ion beam for transmission electron and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) examinations. This sample allows quantitative analysis of the E ...

Electron cloud studies for the LHC and future proton colliders

César Octavio Domínguez Sánchez De La Blanca

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the world’s largest and most powerful particle collider. Its main objectives are to explore the validity of the standard model of particle physics and to look for new physics beyond it, at unprecedented collision energies ...

Standard-free composition measurements of AlxIn1-xN by low-loss electron energy loss spectroscopy

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin

We demonstrate a standard-free method to retrieve compositional information in AlxIn1-xN thin films by measuring the bulk plasmon energy (E-p), employing electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM). Two se ...

Comparison of charge accumulation and transport in nanostructured dye-sensitized solar cells with electrolyte or CuSCN as hole conductor

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

The charge transport properties of the dye-sensitized solar cells consisting of Ru(dcbpyH2)2(NCS)2-sensitized nanostructured TiO2 with either redox electrolyte or CuSCN as hole conductor were compared. The electron transport time and the electron charge in ...
