Unidirectional radiation is important for a variety of optoelectronic applications. Many unidirectional emitters exist, but they all rely on the use of materials or structures that forbid outgoing waves, i.e. mirrors. Here, we theoretically…

Charge density waves (CDW) are modulations of the electron density and the atomic lattice that develop in some crystalline materials at low temperature. We report an unusual example of a CDW in BaFe$_2$Al$_9$ below 100 K. In contrast to the…

A cryogenic neon solid doped with barium monofluoride (BaF) is created on a cryogenic substrate using a stream of Ne gas and a high-intensity beam of BaF molecules produced in a cryogenic helium-buffer-gas laser-ablation source. The…

First-principles calculations have been performed to study the formation of defect complexes in Ti doped alpha-Al2O3 crystals. The formation energies of isolated Ti3+ and Ti4+ defects, pairs, triples and quadruples of Ti ions and Al…

Recent laboratory efforts and telescopic observations of Europa have shown the relevance of a yellow colouration of sodium chloride (NaCl) caused by crystal defects generated by irradiation. We further investigate this process by…

Among the wide variety of single fluorescent defects investigated in silicon, numerous studies have focused on color centers with a zero-phonon line around $1.28 \mu$m and identified to a common carbon-complex in silicon, namely the G…

We systematically examine uncertainties from fitting rare earth single-ion crystal electric field (CEF) Hamiltonians to inelastic neutron scattering data. Using pyrochlore and delafossite structures as test cases, we find that uncertainty…

CaF$_2$:Yb$^{2+}$ and SrF$_2$:Yb$^{2+}$ crystals have been investigated by a two-color UV + IR transient photoluminescence enhancement technique. The enhancement gives information about both changes in internal energy levels of the excitons…

Although quartz ($\rm \alpha$-form) is a mineral used in numerous applications wherein radiation exposure is an issue, the nature of the atomistic defects formed during radiation-induced damage have not been fully clarified. Especially, the…

Large-scale calculations of atomic structures and radiative properties have been carried out for singly, doubly- and trebly ionized cerium. For this purpose, the purely relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock (MCDHF) method was…

Single defect centers in diamond have been generated via nitrogen implantation. The defects have been investigated by single defect center fluorescence microscopy. Optical and EPR spectra unambiguously show that the produced defect is the…

Convergent beam electron diffraction (CBED) performed on two-dimensional (2D) materials recently emerged as a powerful tool to study structural and stacking defects, adsorbates, atomic 3D displacements in the layers, and the interlayer…

Luminescence characteristics of single crystals (SC), single crystalline films (SCF), powders and ceramics of YAlO_3 and YAlO_3:Ce have been studied at 4.2-300 K under photoexcitation in the 4-20 eV energy range and X-ray excitation. The…

We observed that radio-frequency (rf) irradiation significantly enhances the $c$-axis resistance near and below the superconducting transition of the CuO$_{2}$ layer in contact with a normal-metal electrode on the surface of…

We present an x-ray diffraction study of the Vanadium-doped blue bronze K0.3(Mo0.972V0.028)O3. At low temperature, we have observed both an intensity asymmetry of the +-2kF satellite reflections relative to the pure compound, and a profile…

Calculations of frequency spectra for organic molecular crystals taking various defects in their structure into account are carried out. It is shown how the presence of the vacancies, orientation disorder, and surface presence affects…

The charge, bonding, and optical properties of the calcium-doped boron cluster B$_7$Ca$_2$ have been systematically investigated using density functional theory calculations. Extensive global basin-hopping searches identify a single-ring…

We introduce topological defect to a square lattice of elliptical cylinders. Despite the broken translational symmetry, the long-range positional order of the cylinders leads to residual photonic bandgap in the density of optical states.…

Parametrized crystal-field analyses are presented for both the six and seven fold coordinated, C$_{1}$ symmetry Sm$^{3+}$ centers in Y$_{2}$SiO$_{5}$, based on extensive spectroscopic data spanning the infrared to optical regions. Laser…

We propose an improved structure of an optical biosensor based on a photonic crystal (PC) with a defect layer (DL), which can detect the concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in water by defect mode (DM) shift. We investigated 4 types of defective…
