Single-crystal samples of LiCu2O2 with spin 1/2 Cu2+ chains of edge-sharing CuO4 square planes (ribbon chains), have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, and magnetic measurements. Neither the atomic…
Bismuth vanadate (BiVO4) has recently been under focus for its potential use in photocatalysis thanks to its well-suited absorption edge in the visible light range. Here, we characterize the optical absorption of a BiVO4 single crystal as a…
Optical second harmonic generation is a second-order nonlinear process that combines two photons of a given frequency into a third photon at twice the frequency. Due to the symmetry constraints, it is widely used as a sensitive probe to…
The pyrochlore metal Cd2Re2O7 has been recently investigated by second-harmonic generation (SHG) reflectivity. In this paper, we develop a general formalism that allows for the identification of the relevant tensor components of the SHG…
Optical second harmonic generation (SHG) is a nonlinear optical effect widely used for nonlinear optical microscopy and laser frequency conversion. Closed-form analytical solution of the nonlinear optical responses is essential for…
Comprehensive experimental studies by magnetic, thermal and neutron measurements have clarified that Rb4Mn(MoO4)3 is a model system of a quasi-2D triangular Heisenberg antiferromagnet with an easy-axis anisotropy, exhibiting successive…
We have performed high resolution x-ray scattering measurements on single crystal samples of Ba(Fe(1-x)Cr(x))2As2 (x = 0 to 0.335). These measurements examine the effect of Cr-doping on the high temperature tetragonal (I4/mmm) to low…
Two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) offer tunable optical and electronic properties, making them highly promising for next-generation optoelectronic devices. One effective approach to engineering these properties is…
The newly emerged two-dimensional (2D) materials family of MSi2N4, where M is a transition metal atom (i.e., Mo, W, etc.), has the potential to be named after the conventional and very popular transition metal di-chalcogenides (TMDC), which…
Experimental measurements of the second order susceptibilities for the second harmonic generation are reported for YAl3(BO3)4 (YAB) single crystals for the two principal tensor components xyz and yyy. First principles calculation of the…
3R-MoS2, a MoS2 polytype with broken inversion symmetry, enables unique light-matter interactions and is promising for linear and nonlinear integrated photonics beyond the monolayer limit. Yet, systematic studies of its thickness-dependent…
We have studied the magnetic and thermodynamic properties as well as the NMR spectra of the Heisenberg antiferromagnet RbFe(MoO4)2. The observed temperature dependence of the order parameter, the critical indices and the overall magnetic…
The new quaternary iron arsenide-fluoride SrFeAsF with the tetragonal ZrCuSiAs-type structure was synthesized and the crystal structure was determined by X-ray powder diffraction (P4/nmm, a = 399.30(1), c = 895.46(1) pm). SrFeAsF undergoes…
We report the computational investigation of a series of ternary X$_4$Y$_2$Z and X$_5$Y$_2$Z$_2$ compounds with X={Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba}, Y={P, As, Sb, Bi}, and Z={S, Se, Te}. The compositions for these materials were predicted through a search…
High resolution optical (HIRES/Keck) and UV (STIS/HST) spectra, covering a large range of chemical transitions, are analyzed for three single-cloud weak MgII absorption systems along the line of sight toward the quasar PG 1634+706. Weak…
The anisotropic changes in the electronic structure of a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) material, RuAs, with two-step phase transition are reported by using polarized optical conductivity [$\sigma(\omega)$] spectra, angle-integrated…

Transition metal dichalcogenides, a family of two-dimensional compounds, are of interest for a range of technological applications. MoS2, the most researched member of this family, is hexagonal, from which monolayers may be isolated. Under…
Heterostructures are ubiquitous in many optoelectronic devices and as photocatalysts. One of the key features of a heterojunction is the proper band alignment between the two materials. Estimation of the correct relative band positions with…
We present the results of a Doppler tomographic reconstruction of the UV spectra of the double-lined, O binary HD 100213 based on observations made with the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). We used cross-correlation methods to…
