Lattice-mediated magnetic order melting in TbMnO3

Recent ultrafast magnetic-sensitive measurements [Johnson et al., Phys. Rev. B 92, 184429 (2015); Bothschafter et al., Phys. Rev. B 96, 184414 (2017)] have revealed a delayed melting of the long-range cycloid spin order in TbMnO 3 following photoexcitation ...

Two-Color Pump-Probe Measurement of Photonic Quantum Correlations Mediated by a Single Phonon

Vincenzo Savona, Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Hugo Pierre Alexandre Flayac, Mitchell David Anderson, Kilian Robert Seibold, Santiago Tarrago Velez

We propose and demonstrate a versatile technique to measure the lifetime of the one-phonon Fock state using two-color pump-probe Raman scattering and spectrally resolved, time-correlated photon counting. Following pulsed laser excitation, the n = 1 phonon ...

Mobility of two-dimensional materials from first principles in an accurate and automated framework

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Davide Campi, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier

We present a first-principles approach to compute the transport properties of 2D materials in an accurate and automated framework. We use density-functional perturbation theory in the appropriate bidimensional setup with open-boundary conditions in the thi ...

Topological phonons and thermoelectricity in triple-point metals

Quansheng Wu

Recently published discoveries of acoustic- and optical-mode inversion in the phonon spectrum of certain metals became the first realistic example of noninteracting topological bosonic excitations in existing materials. However, the observable physical and ...

Influence of the thickness of a nanometric copper interlayer on Au/dielectric thermal boundary conductance

Ludger Weber, Maïté Blank

The influence of the thickness of a thin (1.5-30 nm) copper layer on the thermal boundary conductance (TBC) at the interface between gold and silicon, sapphire and diamond, respectively, was studied using Time Domain Thermoreflectance. Overall, a monotonic ...

Precision and efficiency in solid-state pseudopotential calculations

Nicola Marzari, Nicolas Frank Mounet, Antimo Marrazzo, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Gianluca Prandini

Despite the enormous success and popularity of density-functional theory, systematic verification and validation studies are still limited in number and scope. Here, we propose a protocol to test publicly available pseudopotential libraries, based on sever ...

Hydrogen Diffusion and Trapping in α-Iron: The Role of Quantum and Anharmonic Fluctuations

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of a hydrogen interstitial in magnetic α-iron, taking account of the quantum fluctuations of the proton as well as the anharmonicities of lattice vibrations and hydrogen hopping. We show that the diffusivity o ...

Photophysics behind highly luminescent two-dimensional hybrid perovskite (CH3(CH2)2NH3)2(CH3NH3)2Pb3Br10 thin films

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Luca Francaviglia, Pablo Romero Gómez

Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites have emerged as a new class of hybrid materials with high photoluminescence and improved stability compared to their three-dimensional (3D) counterparts. Studies of the photophysics of these new 2D perovsk ...

Ab-initio calculation of surface phonons at the Sb2Te3(111) surface

Davide Campi

Density functional perturbation theory is used to study the phonon dispersion relations at the (111) surface of the topological insulator Sb2Te3. Inelastic Helium atom scattering experiments at the (111) surface of the similar Bi2Se3 topological insulator ...
