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 ...
Two new bis(diphenylphosphino) amines, N,N-bis(diphenylphosphino) benzidine 1 and N, N-bis(diphenylphosphino)- 3,3-dimethoxybenzidine 2 were prepared by aminolysis. Their corresponding oxides, sulfides and selenides were readily prepared by reaction with h ...
Lithium niobate is a key material for photonics with applications in optical modulators and light frequency converters. Present lithium niobate optical devices are realized in bulk lithium niobate single crystals while interests in higher integration and a ...
A new copper selenite chloride Cu-5(SeO3)(4)Cl-2 has been prepared by chemical vapor transport reactions. Its crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c with t ...
We explore the emergence of linear magnetoresistance in thin Bi2Se3 sheets upon tuning the carrier density using a back gate. With increasingly negative gate voltage, a pronounced magnetoresistance of similar to 100% is observed, while the associated B-fie ...
Organic-inorganic hybrid systems based on lead halide compounds have recently encountered considerable success as light absorbers in solid-state solar cells. Herein we show how fundamental mechanistic processes in mesoporous oxide films impregnated with CH ...
The present study aims to improve the understanding of the role of complexation and competition effects on Cd and Pb accumulation by the metal resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans largely used in bioremediation. Adsorbed and intracellular metal co ...
Gold(I) complexes bearing water-sol. phosphine ligands, including 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA), 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (DAPTA), and sodium triphenylphosphine trisulfonate (TPPTS), in combination with thionate liga ...
We study the band structure of the Bi2Se3 topological insulator (1 1 1) surface using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We examine the situation where two sets of quantized subbands exhibiting different Rashba spin splitting are created via bendin ...
Using angular resolved photoemission spectroscopy we studied the evolution of the surface electronic structure of the topological insulator Bi2Se3 as a function of water vapor exposure. We find that a surface reaction with water induces a band bending, whi ...
