The phase picked up by a graphene plasmon upon scattering by an abrupt edge is commonly assumed to be $-\pi$. Here, it is demonstrated that for high plasmon momenta this reflection phase is $\approx -3\pi/4$, virtually independent on either…
We report a comprehensive micro-Raman study of a pressurized suspended graphene membrane that hermetically seals a circular pit, etched in a Si/SiO$_2$ substrate. Placing the sample under a uniform pressure load results in bulging of the…

Few-layer $\alpha$-In$_2$Se$_3$ has been studied under pressure using Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell up to 60 GPa (at room temperature). A combination of AFM and Raman was used to estimate the thickness of the specimens. While…
Depending on the temperature, the C70 solid crystallizes in several structures. At high temperature (T > 340K), the ellipsoidal C70 molecule rotates freely in all directions and may be treated as a uniform thick spherical shell with inner…
The crystal structure of CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite has been investigated under high-pressure by synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction. We found that after the previously reported phase transitions in CH3NH3PbBr3 (Pm-3m->Im-3->Pmn21),…

Raman spectroscopy is used to probe the structure and electronic properties of nanotubes dispersed in a liquid phase. We show that the radial breathing modes are upshifted in suspensions due to the molecular pressure of the solvent. On the…
