A seemingly anomalous enhancement of electron mobility in strained silicon inversion layers at high sheet densities has exposed a conspicuous gap between device physics theory and experiment in recent years. We show that the root of this…
The specular reflectivity of slow, metastable neon atoms from a silicon surface was found to increase markedly when the flat surface was replaced by a grating structure with parallel narrow ridges. For a surface with ridges that have a…
The surface figure of an x-ray mirror was improved by differential deposition of WSi$_2$ layers. DC magnetron sputtering through beam-defining apertures was applied on moving substrates to generate thin films with arbitrary longitudinal…
Advent of new materials such as van der Waals heterostructures, propels new research directions in condensed matter physics and enables development of novel devices with unique functionalities. Here, we show experimentally that a monolayer…
A study of the tetragonal to orthorhombic phase transition of GdFeAsO is presented. Planes of the reciprocal space were reconstructed form single-crystal synchrotron X-ray diffraction data. By cooling below the structural transition…
We demonstrate epitaxial lattice-matched Al$_{0.89}$Sc$_{0.11}$N/GaN ten and twenty period distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) grown on c-plane bulk n-type GaN substrates by plasma-enhanced molecular beam epitaxy (PA-MBE). Resulting from a…
Future space observatories will likely have segmented primaries, causing diffraction effects that reduce coronagraph performance. Reflective binary pupil apodizer masks can mitigate these, with the metamaterial black silicon (BSi) showing…
We have developed X-ray telescope mirrors using an original electroforming replication technique established through the fabrication of millimeter-aperture, ultra-short-focal-length nanofocusing mirrors for synchrotron X-ray microscopy.…
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…
We report robust room temperature interlayer excitons in transition metal dichalcogenide heterostructures engineered via precise stacking orientation and twist-angle control. We integrate 2H-stacked…
The chemical interaction between Mo and Ru layers in multilayer structures depending on the thickness ratio ($\Gamma$) was carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray reflectometry (XRR). The…
Microstructural analysis with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) involves sectioning and polishing to create a flat and preparation-artifact free surface. The quality of EBSD analysis is often dependant on this step, and this motivates…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a micromechanical oscillator consisting only of a free-standing dielectric Bragg mirror with high optical reflectivity and high mechanical quality. The fabrication technique is a hybrid…
The present study investigates the linear and non-linear optical and magneto-optical properties of TeO$_2$-BaO-Bi$_2$O$_3$ (TeBaBi) glasses prepared by the conventional melt-quenching technique at 900 {\deg}C. Prepared glass composition…
Si doped ZnO has been reported to be a better conductor than pure ZnO. It is reported that carrier density increases and hence conductivity increases. However, the effect on optical transmission is yet not clear until our recent report [1].…
We report an easy-to-fabricate microcavity design to produce optically pumped high-$\beta$ quantum dot microlasers. Our cavity concept is based on a buried photonic-defect for tight lateral mode confinement in a quasi-planar microcavity…
Recent progress achieved in metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) has enabled the production of high-quality micropillar arrays for various optoelectronic applications. Si micropillars produced by MACE often show a porous Si/SiOx shell on…
Electrochromic devices, which dynamically change color under the applied potential, are widely studied because of its wide range of applications such as energy-efficient smart windows, rear view mirrors and display devices etc. In this…
FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ thin films with PbO-type structure are successfully grown on MgO(100) and LaSrAlO$_{4}$(001) substrates from FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x+d}$ polycrystalline targets by pulsed-laser deposition. The film deposited on the MgO…
We present the first results of a program to systematically study the optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) of Swift GRB afterglows with known redshift. The goal is to study the properties of the GRB explosion and of the…
