Two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) forming at the interfaces of transition metal oxides(1-3) exhibit a range of properties, including tunable insulator-superconductor-metal transitions(4-6), large magnetoresistance(7), coexisting ferromagnetism and sup ...
An innovative class of coupling gratings for efficiently redirecting light beams is described. They are based on symmetric binary gratings equipped with an asymmetric high refractive index coating. This kind of structure exhibits a grating blaze effect and ...
Recently, hybrid organic-inorganic metal halide perovskites have gained prominence as potent light harvesters in thin film solid-state photovoltaics. In particular the solar-to-electric power conversion efficiency (PCE) of devices using CH3NH3PbI3 as sensi ...
Laue's experiment in 1912 of the diffraction of X-rays by crystals led to one of the most influential discoveries in the history of science: the first determinations of crystal structures, NaCl and diamond in particular, by W. L. Bragg in 1913. For the fir ...
Unprecedented and fascinating phenomena have been recently observed at oxide interfaces between centrosymmetric cubic materials, where polar discontinuities can give rise to polarization charges and electric fields that drive a metal-insulator transition a ...
Small-angle diffraction of polarized neutrons and resonant contribution to diffraction of synchrotron radiation have been applied to prove chirality of the crystal and magnetic structures of the magnetoelectric insulator Cu2OSeO3. Similarly to other chiral ...
From high-resolution neutron-diffraction experiments we present equation-of-state (EOS) data of elemental lead as functions of both temperature (80-298 K) and applied pressure (up to 8.9 GPa), with the pressure values derived from the NaCl pressure gauge. ...
An automatic method to colorize and quantify the classical Pitsch, Kurdjumov-Sachs, Greninger-Troiano and Nishiyama-Wasserman orientation relationships in the electron backscatter diffraction maps of martensitic/bainitic steels is detailed. Automatic analy ...
Carbon nanotubes with unique physical and mechanical properties have shown great potential for biological applications, including tissue engineering and mimicking the structure and properties of human bones. In the present work, sol-gel synthesized nanocom ...
In quasi-two-dimensional electron systems of layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) there is still controversy about the nature of the transitions to charge-density wave (CDW) phases, i.e., whether they are described by a Peierls-type mechanism or ...
