We have measured the reflectivity spectra of the iron based superconductor LiFeAs (Tc = 17.6 K) in the temperature range from 4 to 300 K. In the superconducting state (T < Tc), the clear opening of the optical absorption gap was observed…

The exact mechanism responsible for the tenfold enhancement of superconducting transition temperature (Tc) in a monolayer iron selenide (FeSe) on SrTiO3(STO) substrate over that of bulk FeSe, is an open issue. We present here a coordinated…

Charge ordering (CO) phenomena have been widely debated in strongly-correlated electron systems mainly regarding their role in high-temperature superconductivity. Here, we elucidate the structural and charge distribution in NdNiO$_{2}$ thin…

An environmentally stable mesoscopic thin film of Au of certain thickness has been deposited thermally on top of a Ag+ implanted oxide substrate to develop a close to room temperature superconductor. This thin film has been deposited in two…

Ferromagnetic (Fe or Fe20Ni80) and antiferromagnetic (NiO) phases were deformed by high pressure torsion, a severe plastic deformation technique, to manufacture bulk sized nanocomposites and demonstrate an exchange bias, which has been…

The temperature dependence of the $ab$-plane optical reflectivity of Ba(Fe$_{0.92}$Co$_{0.08})_2$As$_{2}$ and Ba(Fe$_{0.95}$Ni$_{0.05})_2$As$_{2}$ single crystals is measured in a wide spectral range. Upon entering the superconducting…

The three dimensional carrier confinement in GaN nanodiscs embedded in GaN/AlGaN nanowires and its effect on their photoluminescence properties is analyzed for Al concentrations between x = 0.08 and 1. Structural analysis by high resolution…

Transition metal aluminum nitrides are a technologically important class of multifunctional ceramics, however, the HfAlN system remains largely unexplored. We investigate phase stability, nanostructure design, and mechanical behavior of…

The thermoelectric properties of 1.6 nm-thick Si square nanowires with [100] crystalline orientation are calculated over a wide temperature range from 0 K to 1000 K, taking into account atomistic electron-phonon interaction. In our model,…

The optical spectrum of the cubic helimagnetic metal FeGe has been investigated in the frequency range from 0.01 - 3.1 eV for different temperatures from 30 K to 296 K. The optical conductivity shows the evolution of a low energy (0.22 eV)…

We report on the realization of silicon nitride membranes with enhanced and electrically tunable reflectivity. A subwavelength one-dimensional grating is directly patterned on a suspended 200 nm-thick, high stress commercial film using…

Antimony (Sb), an element with strong spin-orbit coupling, is predicted to undergo a topological phase transition from a topological semimetal to a topological insulator as its dimensionality approaches the two-dimensional limit, driven by…

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides like molybdenum diselenide (MoSe$_2$) have shown great potential in optoelectronics and energy storage due to their layer-dependent bandgap. However, producing high-quality 2D MoSe$_2$…

We report in situ characterized TiO2 thin-films deposited on optical fiber, having thicknesses in the 20-100nm range, and having enhanced conductivity values of 700S/cm upon interacting with hydrogen. This conductivity was achieved in pure…

We investigate the Seebeck coefficient ($S$) in infinite-layer nickelate films with different disorder levels. The disordered NdNiO$_{2}$ film exhibits a flat $S/T$ curve, whereas cleaner samples display a logarithmic divergence with…

Au and Ag are known to be metallic and none of them have shown independently superconductivity. Here we show superconductivity in Ag implanted Au thin films. Ag implanted Au films of different thicknesses have been studied using four probe…

Here, we report the full-fledged journey towards the material synthesis and characterization of few-layered/thin WSe$_2$ using sputtered W-films on SiO$_2$/Si substrates followed by electrical studies under dark and illumination conditions.…

In recent years many experiments have demonstrated the possibility to achieve efficient photoluminescence from Si/SiO2 nanocrystals. While it is widely known that only a minor portions of the nanocrystals in the samples contribute to the…

NiFe$_2$O$_4$ thin films with varying thickness were grown on SrTiO$_3$(001) by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. Soft and hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements reveal a homogeneous cation distribution throughout the whole film…

The (secondary) electron emission from multilayered Al$_2$O$_3$/TiN membranes has been investigated with a hemispherical collector system in a scanning electron microscope for electrons with energies between 0.3 and 10 keV. These ultra-thin…
