Facile Production of Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanoparticles by Cryogenic Exfoliation

Aleksandra Radenovic, Evgenii Glushkov, Andrey Chernev, Vytautas Navikas, Jean Camille Benjamin Comtet

Fluorescent nanoparticles with optically robust luminescence are imperative to applications in imaging and labeling. Here we demonstrate that hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles can be reliably produced using a scalable cryogenic exfoliation techni ...

Preparation and Decay of a Single Quantum of Vibration at Ambient Conditions

Christophe Marcel Georges Galland, Vivishek Sudhir, Mitchell David Anderson, Kilian Robert Seibold, Nils Kipfer

A single quantum of excitation of a mechanical oscillator is a textbook example of the principles of quantum physics. But mechanical oscillators, despite their pervasive presence in nature and modem technology, do not genetically exist in an excited Fock s ...

Spin polarization and attosecond time delay in photoemission from solids

Mauro Fanciulli

In the photoemission process electrons are emitted from a solid upon excitation with UV light. From the measurement of their energy and momentum, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) allows to reconstruct the electronic properties of the solid ...

Tuning adatom mobility and nanoscale segregation by twin formation and polytypism

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Federico Matteini, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Luca Francaviglia

Nanoscale variations in the composition of an AlxGa1−xAs shell around a GaAs nanowire affect the nanowire functionality and can lead to the formation of localized quantum emitters. These composition fluctuations can be the consequence of variations of crys ...

III-Nitride Semiconductor Photonic Nanocavities on Silicon

Ian Michael Rousseau

Optical nanocavities enhance light-matter interaction due to their high quality factors (Q) and small modal volumes (V). The control of light-matter interaction lies at the heart of potential applications for integrated optical circuits, including optical ...

Sizable Excitonic Effects Undermining the Photocatalytic Efficiency of beta-Cu2V2O7

Alfredo Pasquarello, Raffaella Buonsanti, Julia Anna Wiktor, Mariateresa Scarongella, Igor Reshetnyak, Michal Stanislaw Strach

Copper vanadates have been proposed as promising photoanodes for water-splitting photoelectrochemical cells, but their performance has recently been shown to be severely limited. To understand this behavior, we study the electronic structure and the optica ...

Resolving the spin splitting in the conduction band of monolayer MoS2

Andras Kis, Ahmet Avsar, Kolyo Marinov

Time-reversal symmetry and broken spin degeneracy enable the exploration of spin and valley quantum degrees of freedom in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides. While the strength of the large spin splitting in the valance band of these materials is n ...

Ising pairing in superconducting NbSe2 atomic layers

László Forró, Helmuth Berger

The properties of two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides arising from strong spin-orbit interactions and valley-dependent Berry curvature effects have recently attracted considerable interest(1-7). Although single-particle and excitonic phenomena ...
