Terahertz emission from diamond nitrogen-vacancy centers

László Forró, Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus, Sándor Kollarics

Coherent light sources emitting in the terahertz range are highly sought after for fundamental research and applications. Terahertz lasers rely on achieving population inversion. We demonstrate the generation of terahertz radiation using nitrogen-vacancy c ...

Ultralong 100 ns spin relaxation time in graphite at room temperature

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Bence Gábor Márkus

Graphite has been intensively studied, yet its electron spins dynamics remains an unresolved problem even 70 years after the first experiments. The central quantities, the longitudinal (T-1) and transverse (T-2) relaxation times were postulated to be equal ...

Non-exponential magnetic relaxation in magnetic nanoparticles for hyperthermia

Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus

Magnetic nanoparticle based hyperthermia emerged as a potential tool for treating malignant tumours. The efficiency of the method relies heavily on the knowledge of magnetic properties of the samples; in particular, knowledge of the frequency dependent com ...

Ultralong Spin Lifetime in Light Alkali Atom Doped Graphene

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Bence Gábor Márkus

Today's great challenges of energy and informational technologies are addressed with a singular compound, Li-and Na-doped few-layer graphene. All that is impossible for graphite (homogeneous and high-level Na doping) and unstable for single-layer graphene ...

High-Performance n-type SnSe Thermoelectric Polycrystal Prepared by Arc-Melting

Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus

Tin selenide (SnSe) has notable thermoelectric properties, yet stable n-type polycrystalline SnSe is difficult to synthesize. Here, polycrystalline SnSe is easily prepared by arc-melting as robust pellets, with thermoelectric properties repeatably changing ...

Optical-Microwave Pump-Probe Studies of Electronic Properties in Novel Materials

Ferenc Simon, Karoly Holczer, Bence Gábor Márkus, Sándor Kollarics, András Bojtor

Combined microwave-optical pump-probe methods are emerging to study the quantum state of spin qubit centers and the charge dynamics in semiconductors. A major hindrance is the limited bandwidth of microwave irradiation/detection circuitry which can be over ...

Improved Alkali Intercalation of Carbonaceous Materials in Ammonia Solution

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus, Sándor Kollarics

Alkali-intercalated graphite compounds represent a compelling modification of carbon with significant application potential and various fundamentally important phases. The intercalation of graphite with alkali atoms (Li and K) using liquid ammonia solution ...

Characterizing the maximum number of layers in chemically exfoliated graphene

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Ferenc Simon, Julian Ayrton Englert, Bence Gábor Márkus

An efficient route to synthesize macroscopic amounts of graphene is highly desired and bulk characterization of such samples, in terms of the number of layers, is equally important. We present a Raman spectroscopy-based method to determine the typical uppe ...

Anisotropic Elliott-Yafet theory and application to KC8 potassium intercalated graphite

László Forró, Bálint Náfrádi, Péter Szirmai, Ferenc Simon, Bence Gábor Márkus

We report electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on stage-I potassium intercalated graphite (KC8). Angular dependent measurements show that the spin-lattice relaxation time is longer when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the graphene layer as com ...
