Topological crystalline insulators -- topological insulators whose properties are guaranteed by crystalline symmetry -- can potentially provide a promising platform for terahertz optoelectronic devices, as their properties can be tuned on…
Unlike in many other semiconductors, the band gap of PbTe increases considerably with temperature. We compute the thermoelectric transport properties of n-type PbTe from first principles including the temperature variation of the electronic…
Recently there is a lot of attention given to manipulation of heat by constructing thermal devices such as thermal diodes, transistors and logic gates. Many of the models proposed have an asymmetry which leads to the desired effect.…

The Seebeck coefficients, electrical resistivities, total thermal conductivities, and magnetization are reported for temperatures between 5 and 350 K for n-type Bi0.88Sb0.12 nano-composite alloys made by Ho-doping at the 0, 1 and 3% atomic…
Accurate single photoelectron (SPE) characterization of photosensors is essential for controlling systematic uncertainties in low-light neutrino and dark matter detectors. We present a compact laboratory setup for the characterization of…
Low cost, easily integrable photodetectors (PDs) for silicon (Si) photonics are still a bottleneck for photonic integrated circuits (PICs), especially for wavelengths above 1.8 ${\mu}$m. Multilayered platinum diselenide (PtSe$_2$) is a…
In many of the high-precision optical frequency standards with trapped atoms or ions that are under development to date, the AC Stark shift induced by thermal radiation leads to a major contribution to the systematic uncertainty. We present…

Avalanche photodiodes used for greenhouse gas sensing often use a mesa-structure that suffers from high surface leakage currents and edge breakdown. In this paper, we report 2-micron InGaAs/GaAsSb superlattice (SL) based planar PIN diodes…
