Yttrium Tantalum Oxynitride Multiphases as Photoanodes for Water Oxidation

The perovskite yttrium tantalum oxynitride is theoretically proposed as a promising semiconductor for solar water splitting because of the predicted band gap and energy positions of band edges. In experiments, however, we show here that depending on the pr ...

Topological states on the breathing kagome lattice

Adrien Bolens

We theoretically study the topological properties of the tight-binding model on the breathing kagome lattice with antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling (SOC) between nearest neighbors. We show that the system hosts nontrivial topological phases even without se ...

Band and Correlated Insulators of Cold Fermions in a Mesoscopic Lattice

Jean-Philippe Brantut, Thierry Giamarchi, Samuel Häusler

We investigate the transport properties of neutral, fermionic atoms passing through a one-dimensional quantum wire containing a mesoscopic lattice. The lattice is realized by projecting individually controlled, thin optical barriers on top of a ballistic c ...

Charge-carrier Dynamics in Metal Oxides and Hybrid Lead Perovskites investigated by Time-Resolved UV and X-ray Spectroscopy

Thomas Charles Henry Rossi

In modern ultrafast optoelectronic technologies based on wide band gap insulators, the non-equilibrium dynamics of photogenerated charges plays a major role. Unravelling the mechanisms of interaction between these charge carriers and their environment is c ...

A Reconfigurable Inductor Based on Vanadium Dioxide Insulator-to-Metal Transition

Mihai Adrian Ionescu, Montserrat Fernandez-Bolanos Badia, Emanuele Andrea Casu, Matteo Cavalieri, Andrei Müller, Alessandro Fumarola

This letter introduces a reconfigurable planar square-coil-shaped inductor exploiting as the tuning mechanism the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) of a vanadium dioxide (VO2) switch placed in the interwinding space in an unprecedented manner. The VO2 th ...

Dynamics of correlation-frozen antinodal quasiparticles in superconducting cuprates

Alberto Crepaldi

Many puzzling properties of high-critical temperature (T-c) superconducting (HTSC) copper oxides have deep roots in the nature of the antinodal quasiparticles, the elementary excitations with wave vector parallel to the Cu-O bonds. These electronic states ...

Hallmarks of Hunds coupling in the Mott insulator Ca2RuO4

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Marco Grioni, Johan Juul Chang, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti, Claudia Giuseppina Fatuzzo

A paradigmatic case of multi-band Mott physics including spin-orbit and Hund's coupling is realized in Ca2RuO4. Progress in understanding the nature of this Mott insulating phase has been impeded by the lack of knowledge about the low-energy electronic str ...

We report detailed neutron scattering studies on Ba2Cu3O4Cl2. The compound consists of two interpenetrating sublattices of Cu, labeled as Cu-A and Cu-B, each of which forms a square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. The two sublattices order at different ...
