We have used a combination of neutron resonant spin-echo and triple-axis spectroscopies to determine the energy, fine structure, and linewidth of the magnon resonance in the model spin-1/2 ladder antiferromagnet IPA-CuCl_3 at temperatures T…
Zn(CN)2 and Ni(CN)2 are known for exhibiting anomalous thermal expansion over a wide temperature range. The volume thermal expansion coefficient for the cubic, three dimensionally connected material, Zn(CN)2, is negative ({\alpha}V = -51 x…
We report a Raman study of the effect of temperature on the self-energies of optical phonons in a number of transition metals with hexagonal-close-packed structure. Anisotropic softening of phonon energies and narrowing of phonon linewidths…
The electron-phonon interaction is a major factor influencing the competition between collective instabilities in correlated-electron materials, but its role in driving high-temperature superconductivity in the cuprates remains poorly…
In this paper, we investigate the electronic band structure, lattice dynamics and electron-phonon interaction in $\delta$-NbN, $\varepsilon$-NbN and WC-NbN by performing systematic ab initio calculations based on DFT-GGA. The calculated…
Detailed temperature dependence of both superconducting gaps was obtained directly by means of SnS-Andreev spectroscopy. The \Delta \sigma,\pi(T) -curves were shown to be deviated from standard BCS-like behavior, due to k-space proximity…
In this thesis I find an analytic expression for the conductance of a single electron transistor in the regime when temperature, level spacing, and charging energy of an island are all of the same order. I also study the correction to the…
We present computations of the thermal Hall coefficient of phonons scattering off a defect with multiple energy levels. Using a microscopic formulation based on the Kubo formula, we find that the leading contribution perturbative in the…
The Debye temperature, T${_\theta}$=(h/2${\pi}$)/k${_B}$$\omega$$_\theta$, where the Debye frequency $\omega$$_\theta$ is integrated characteristic frequency of full phonon spectrum, $\alpha$$^2$($\omega$)F($\omega$). In the BCS theory,…
We use neutron scattering to characterize the acoustic phonons in the relaxor PMN and demonstrate the presence of an anisotropic damping mechanism directly related to short-range, polar correlations. For a large range of temperatures above…
We present a study of the soft transverse optic phonon mode in SnTe in comparison to the corresponding mode in PbTe using inelastic neutron scattering and ab-initio lattice dynamical calculations. In contrast to previous reports our…
Shot noise is a powerful tool to probe correlations and microscopic transport details that conductance measurements alone cannot reveal. Even in atomic-scale Au devices that are well described by Landauer-B{\"u}ttiker physics, complications…
We study the negative correction to the quantized value $2e^2/h$ of the conductance of a quantum point contact due to the backscattering of electrons by acoustic phonons. The correction shows activated temperature dependence and also gives…
We investigate temperature-dependent spectral properties of a single defect in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). We observe a sharp zero-phonon line (ZPL) emission accompanied by Stokes and anti-Stokes optical phonon sidebands assisted by the…
We report a comprehensive Raman study of the phonon behaviour in PdSe$_2$ in the temperature range of 5 K to 300 K. A remarkable change in the Raman spectrum is observed at 120 K: a significant enhancement of the out-of-plane phonon…
An experimental study of optical phonon modes, both normal and interface (IF) phonons, in bilayer strain-coupled InAs/GaAs_(1-x)Sb_x quantum dot heterostructures has been presented by means of low-temperature polarized Raman scattering. The…
The temperature and magnetic field dependence of lattice and carrier excitations in MnSi is studied in detail using inelastic light scattering. The pure symmetry components of the electronic response are derived from the polarization…
In neutral graphene, two prominent cusps known as Kohn anomalies are found in the phonon dispersion of the highest optical phonon at $q=\Gamma$ (LO branch) and $q=K$ (TO branch), reflecting a significant electron-phonon coupling to undoped…
Superconductivity-induced changes of phonon lineshapes in niobium have been re-investigated by high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering. We show that the changes go beyond a simple change in lifetime and frequency when the phonon…
Temperature-dependent radiative recombination of free excitons involving one or two LO phonons in GaN is investigated in detail. It is found that both phonon sidebands possess asymmetric lineshape and their energy spacings from the zero…
