Raman scattering is a powerful tool for investigating the vibrational properties of two-dimensional materials. Unlike the 2H phase of many transition metal dichalcogenides, the 1T phase of TiSe2 features a Raman-active shearing and breathing mode, both of ...

Strongly bound excitons in anatase TiO2 single crystals and nanoparticles

Majed Chergui, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Helmuth Berger, Edoardo Baldini, Simon Karl Moser, Gerald Auböck

Anatase TiO2 is among the most studied materials for light-energy conversion applications, but the nature of its fundamental charge excitations is still unknown. Yet it is crucial to establish whether light absorption creates uncorrelated electron-hole pai ...

BiTeCl and BiTeBr: A comparative high-pressure optical study

Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Ana Akrap, Gabriel Albert Autes

We here report a detailed high-pressure infrared transmission study of BiTeCl and BiTeBr. We follow the evolution of two band transitions: the optical excitation beta between two Rashba-split conduction bands, and the absorption. across the band gap. In th ...

Probing ice VII crystallization from amorphous NaCl-D2O solutions at gigapascal pressures

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

We probe the possible inclusion of salt (NaCl) in the ice VII lattice over the pressure range from 2 to 4 gigapascal. We combine data from neutron diffraction experiments under pressure and from computational structure searches based on density functional ...

Thermal induced structural properties of silver(I) sulphate (Ag2SO4)

Philip Pattison

The crystal structures of silver(I) sulphate, Ag2SO4, have been investigated as a function of temperature. A main feature is the phase transition from the low-temperature ordered phase, F ddd, to the high-temperature disordered phase, P63/mmc. In particula ...

Wiley-Blackwell2016

We study the structural evolution of Sr3Ir2O7 as a function of pressure using x-ray diffraction. At a pressure of 54 GPa at room temperature, we observe a first-order structural phase transition, associated with a change from tetragonal to monoclinic symme ...

Atomic Scale Observation of Chemical and Electronic Properties of Metal-Oxide Surfaces

Christian Alexander Stephan Dette

To meet the future global energy demand - an estimated additional 10 terawatts (TWs) per year in 2050 - a diversification of energy sources and fuels is needed. Solar energy represents a prominent alternative energy source. An important material for these ...

Ice VII from aqueous salt solutions: From a glass to a crystal with broken H-bonds

Livia Eleonora Bove Kado

It has been known for decades that certain aqueous salt solutions of LiCl and LiBr readily form glasses when cooled to below approximate to 160 K. This fact has recently been exploited to produce a "salty" high-pressure ice form: When the glass is compress ...

Evidence for Marginal Stability in Emulsions

Matthieu Wyart, Jie Lin

We report the first measurements of the effect of pressure on vibrational modes in emulsions, which serve as a model for soft frictionless spheres at zero temperature. As a function of the applied pressure, we find that the density of states D(omega) exhib ...

High pressure phase transition in FeTe2O5Cl

Helmuth Berger

Raman and optical absorption spectra of FeTe2O5Cl at pressures (P) up to 5.9 GPa were measured in order to identify the point of pressure-induced structural phase transition and to compare the vibrational and optical properties of FeTe2O5Cl to those of FeT ...
