Advanced particle acceleration methods have produced high-peak-current ion beams with broad energy spread and complex spatial distribution. There is an urgent need to develop online spatial-resolved energy spectrometers for high-energy…

The crystal structure and local spontaneous polarization of (BaTiO3)m/(SrTiO3)n superlattices is calculated using a first-principles density functional theory method. The in-plane lattice constant is 1% larger than the SrTiO3 substrate to…

We image vortex creep at very low temperatures using Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) in the superconductor Rh$_9$In$_4$S$_4$ ($T_c$=2.25 K). We measure the superconducting gap of Rh$_9$In$_4$S$_4$, finding $\Delta\approx 0.33$meV and…

The recent demonstration of electron vortex beams has opened up the new possibility of studying orbital angular momentum (OAM) in the interaction between electron beams and matter. To this aim, methods to analyze the OAM of an electron beam…

Matter at low temperatures exhibits unusual properties such as superfluidity, superconductivity, Bose-Einstein condensation, and supersolidity. These states display quantum mechanical behaviours at scales much larger than atomic dimensions.…

The current work is focused on the impact of the lithium stoichiometry on electrical conductivity, acoustic properties and high-temperature stability of single crystalline Li(Nb,Ta)O$_{3}$ at high temperatures. The crystals grown from…

We report the construction and performance of a low temperature, high field scanning tunneling microscope (STM) operating down to 350mK and in magnetic fields up to 9T, with thin film deposition and in-situ cleaving capabilities. The main…

In this paper, we present a theoretical simulation of 87Rb absorption spectrum in a thermal cm-cell which is adaptive to the experimental observation. In experiment, the coupling and probe beams are configured to copropagate but…

When a high-energy electrons move in a crystal along one of the crystallographic planes the phenomenon of planar channeling is possible, in which the particles move in channels formed by the continuous potential of crystalline planes. Such…

Aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopes (STEM) provide sub-angstrom lateral resolution; however, the large convergence angle greatly reduces the depth of field. For microscopes with a small depth of field,…

The interface between polar LaAlO3 and non-polar SrTiO3 exhibits a remarkable variety of electronic behavior associated with the formation of an interfacial quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (q-2DEG). By "sketching" patterns of charge on…

Using a combination of vertical transport measurements across and lateral transport measurements along the LaAlO$_{3}$/SrTiO$_{3}$ heterointerface, we demonstrate that significant potential barrier lowering and band bending are the cause of…

Channeling of particle beam in straight and bent single-wall nanotubes has been studied in computer simulations. We have found that the nanotubes should be sufficiently narrow in order to steer efficiently the particle beams, with preferred…

Spatially resolved electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in a scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) has been used to investigate as fluidic phase in nanoubbles embedded in a metallic Pd90Pt10 matrix. Using the 1s->2p…

Nanoscale control of the quasi-two-dimensional electron gas at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (LAO/STO) interface by a conductive probe tip has triggered the development of a number of electronic devices. While the spatial distribution of the…

Harnessing the properties of vortices in superconductors is crucial for fundamental science and technological applications; thus, it has been an ongoing goal to locally probe and control vortices. Here, we use a scanning probe technique…

The control of atomic motion through laser cooling has revolutionized quantum technologies, enabling applications ranging from quantum computing to precision metrology. However, the spatial spreading of subrecoil-laser-cooled atoms --…

A technique for vortex creation in trapped Bose-Einstein condensates is suggested: Vortices can be excited at the edge of a condensate and guided to the center by a laser beam moving along a spiral trajectory. Numerical simulations…

The physics of coherent beams of photons carrying axial orbital angular momentum (OAM) is well understood and such beams, sometimes known as vortex beams, have found applications in optics and microscopy. Recently electron beams carrying…

We introduce a method for shaping a cold atom cloud using a vortex laser beam with a polarization singularity at its center, which creates a point of vanishing intensity. Exploiting this feature we experimentally demonstrate two different…
