Optically Triggered Neel Vector Manipulation of a Metallic Antiferromagnet Mn2Au under Strain

The absence of stray fields, their insensitivity to external magnetic fields, and ultrafast dynamics make antiferromagnets promising candidates for active elements in spintronic devices. Here, we demonstrate manipulation of the Neel vector in the metallic ...

Ultrafast carrier and quasiparticle dynamics in strongly confined perovskite nanoplatelets

Etienne Christophe Socie

Over the past decade, lead halide perovskites (LHPs) have received considerable attention thanks to their impressive optoelectronic properties. Today, LHP-based devices are one of the most efficient single-junction solar cells, with power-conversion effici ...

Performance Analysis of Mass-Produced Nb3Sn Conductor for Central Solenoid in ITER

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

The performance of two mass-produced Nb3Sn conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested for the first timmass-produced Nb3Sn conductorse. One was cut from the forward end of an 80-m-long conductor, and the other was cut from the forward end of a 91 ...

Exciton dynamics of C-60-based single-photon emitters explored by Hanbury Brown-Twiss scanning tunnelling microscopy

Klaus Kern, Anna Maria Roslawska, Christoph Grosse

Exciton creation and annihilation by charges are crucial processes for technologies relying on charge-exciton-photon conversion. Improvement of organic light sources or dye-sensitized solar cells requires methods to address exciton dynamics at the molecula ...

Optimization of Heat Treatment of Japanese Nb3Sn Conductors for Toroidal Field Coils in ITER

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

The optimization of the heat treatment of Nb3Sn conductors for toroidal field coils in ITER was attempted to improve the current sharing temperatures (T-CS). Using the strand, we chose the pattern at 570 degrees C for 250 h and 650 degrees C for 100 h as t ...

Deep-ultraviolet picosecond flat-top pulses by chirp-matched sum frequency generation

Christoph Peter Hauri

Picosecond, flat-top, deep-UV pulses are needed to generate high-brightness electron beams to efficiently drive x-ray free electron lasers. Current metal photocathodes have low efficiency and therefore require high-energy pulses, and the generation of high ...

Rotational Motion in LiBH4/LiI Solid Solutions

Pascal Martelli

We investigated the localized rotational diffusion of the (BH 4)- anions in LiBH4/LiI solid solutions by means of quasielastic and inelastic neutron scattering. The (BH 4)- motions are thermally activated and characterized by activation energies in the ord ...
