The physical and electronic properties of the Ir modified Si(1 1 1) surface have been investigated with the help of angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory. The surface consists of Ir-ring clusters that form a root 7 x root ...
We study the possibility of controlling the propagation of ballistic electrons using an electronic metamaterial with zero quantum index of refraction. This is obtained by tailoring the band structure of a semiconductor superlattice to exhibit a Dirac cone ...
We use ab initio computations to investigate the effect of filler ions on the properties of CoSb3 skutterudites. We analyze global and local structural effects of filling, using the Ba-filled system as an example. We show that the deformation of Sb network ...
Superconductivity in F-doped LaFeAsO, Tc= 26 K was first reported by Kamihara et al in 2008. Following that, more iron-based superconductors, e.g., (Ba,K)Fe2As2, LiFeAs, and Fe1+yTe1-xSex were discovered. The new class of high Tc superconductors have attra ...
The spin-wave band structure of a two-dimensional bicomponent magnonic crystal, consisting of Co nanodisks partially embedded in a Permalloy thin film, is experimentally investigated along a high-symmetry direction by Brillouin light scattering. The eigenf ...
The spin-wave band structure of a two-dimensional square array of NiFe circular antidots (hole diameter 120 nm, periodicity 800 nm) is investigated. Brillouin light scattering experiments and band structure calculations, carried out by means of the dynamic ...
Recent theoretical calculations and experimental results suggest that the strongly correlated material SmB6 may be a realization of a topological Kondo insulator. We have performed an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study on SmB6 in order to eluc ...
We present a new code to evaluate thermoelectric and electronic transport properties of extended systems with a maximally-localized Wannier function basis set. The semiclassical Boltzmann transport equations for the homogeneous infinite system are solved i ...
When described through a plane-wave basis set, the inclusion of exact nonlocal exchange in hybrid functionals gives rise to a singularity, which slows down the convergence with the density of sampled k points in reciprocal space. In this work, we investiga ...
The anomalous high-energy dispersion of the conductance band in the high-T-c superconductor Bi(Pb)(2)Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (Pb-Bi2212) has been extensively mapped by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy as a function of excitation energy in the range from ...
