Traditionally, X-ray scattering techniques have been used to detect the breaking of the structural symmetry of the lattice, which accompanies a periodic displacement of the atoms associated with charge density wave (CDW) formation in the…
The electronic and magnetic properties of epitaxial LaNiO3/LaAlO3 superlattices can be tuned by layer thickness and substrate-induced strain. Here, we report on direct measurements of the k-space-resolved electronic structure of buried…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying a stable polarization at the surface of ferroelectric thin films is of particular importance both from a fundamental point of view and to achieve control of the surface polarization itself. In this…
Two-dimensional (2D) strongly correlated electron systems underlie many of the most important phenomena in contemporary condensed matter physics, including the Quantum Hall Effect (QHE), ``high T_c'' superconductivity, and possible exotic…
X-ray standing wave (XSW) excited photoelectron emission was used to measure the site-specific valence band (VB) for 1/2 monolayer (ML) Pt grown on a SrTiO3 (001) surface. The XSW induced modulations in the core level (CL) and VB…
The long-sought pair density wave (PDW) is an exotic phase of matter in which charge density wave (CDW) order is intertwined with the amplitude or phase of coexisting, superconducting order \cite{Berg2009,Berg2009b}. Originally predicted to…
Since its first successful applications in the early 2000s, x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) has emerged as one of the most successful tools for the diagnostics of extreme states of matter in the laboratory. By sampling the dynamic structure…
Super-resolution effects in optical and fluorescence biological systems are analyzed and their relations with uncertainty relations are discussed. Super-resolutions obtained in the optical systems, including especially NSOM, SIM and…
X-ray diffraction with high spatial resolution is commonly used to characterize (poly-)crystalline samples with, for example, respect to local strain, residual stress, grain boundaries and texture. However, the investigation of highly…
Low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy is used to probe, with atomic-scale spatial resolution, the intrinsic luminescence of a van der Waals heterostructure, made of a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer stacked onto a…
We devise a theory of x-ray absorption by symmetric-top molecules which are aligned by an intense optical laser. Initially, the density matrix of the system is composed of the electronic ground state of the molecules and a thermal ensemble…
Two-dimensional heterostructures with layers of slightly different lattice vectors exhibit a new periodic structure known as moire lattices. Moire lattice formation provides a powerful new way to engineer the electronic structure of…
The microscopic structure of two amorphous materials with extreme nonlinear optical properties has been studied. One of these materials exhibits second harmonic generation, while another material of similar molecular structure emits…
Taking advantage of the large electron escape depth of soft x-ray angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy we report electronic structure measurements of (111)-oriented [LaNiO3/LaMnO3] superlattices and LaNiO3 epitaxial films. For thin…
Coherent diffractive imaging is unique as the only route for achieving diffraction-limited spatial resolution in the extreme ultraviolet and X-ray regions, limited only by the wavelength of the light. Recently, advances in coherent short…
We exploit millimeter wave technology to measure the reflection and transmission response of random dielectric media. Our samples are easily constructed from random stacks of identical, sub-wavelength quartz and Teflon wafers. The…
We report on the near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy of hybrid organic-inorganic resists. These materials are nonchemically amplified systems based on Si, Zr, and Ti oxides, synthesized from organically modified…
We have studied atomic diffraction at normal incidence from an evanescent standing wave with a high resolution using velocity selective Raman transitions. We have observed up to 3 resolved orders of diffraction, which are well accounted for…
In previous reports a structural transition from a cubic phase of Yb$_3$Rh$_4$Sn$_{13}$ - type to the superlattice variant has been reported at $\sim160$ K for a series of skutterudite-related Ce$_3$M$_4$Sn$_{13}$ compounds, where M=Co, Ru…
Interference of light fields plays an important role in various high-precision measurement schemes. It has been shown that super resolving phase measurements beyond the standard coherent state limit can be obtained either by using maximally…
