Light-Induced Renormalization of the Dirac Quasiparticles in the Nodal-Line Semimetal ZrSiSe

Majed Chergui, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Michele Puppin, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Luca Moreschini, Alberto Crepaldi, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti

In nodal-line semimetals, linearly dispersing states form Dirac loops in the reciprocal space with a high degree of electron-hole symmetry and a reduced density of states near the Fermi level. The result is reduced electronic screening and enhanced correla ...

Hot-Hole versus Hot-Electron Transport at Cu/GaN Heterojunction Interfaces

Giulia Tagliabue

Among all plasmonic metals, copper (Cu) has the greatest potential for realizing optoelectronic and photochemical hot-carrier devices, thanks to its CMOS compatibility and outstanding catalytic properties. Yet, relative to gold (Au) or silver (Ag), Cu has ...

Electrochemical and morphological engineering of 2D materials for nanopore sensing

Martina Lihter

Nanopores are nanometer-sized holes that were initially proposed for DNA sequencing. Several years ago sequencing was made possible with biological nanopores. However, solid-state nanopores have plenty of advantages to offer compared to their biological co ...

Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Gianmarco Gatti

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

On the Mechanistic Understanding of Photovoltage Loss in Iron Pyrite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt

Considering the natural abundance, the optoelectronic properties, and the electricity production cost, iron pyrite (FeS2) has a strong appeal as a solar cell material. The maximum conversion efficiency of FeS2 solar cells demonstrated to date, however, is ...

Deep-UV-Enhanced Approach for Low-Temperature Solution Processing of IZO Transistors with High-k AlOx/YAlOx Dielectric

Danick Briand, Jaemin Kim, Alessio Mancinelli

Solution processing is an attractive alternative to standard vacuum fabrication techniques for the large-area manufacturing of metal oxide (MOx)-based electron devices. Here, we report on thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on a solution-processed indium zi ...

InAs-on-Insulator Fin Nanostructures for Integrated Computation and Sensing Functions

Maneesha Rupakula

Field-effect transistors (FETs) have established themselves as a leading platform for electrical detection of chemical and biological species. Their advantages over other optical, mechanical sensing platforms are attributed to being miniaturizable, mechani ...

Correlated states in twisted double bilayer graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Cheng Shen, Na Li, Jian Tang, Rong Yang

Electron-electron interactions play an important role in graphene and related systems and can induce exotic quantum states, especially in a stacked bilayer with a small twist angle(1-7). For bilayer graphene where the two layers are twisted by the 'magic a ...
