Second harmonic (SH) radiation can only be generated in non-centrosymmetric bulk crystals under the electric-dipole approximation. Nonlinear thin films made from bulk crystals are technologically challenging because of complex and high…
Direct observation of nanoscale transformations in three dimensions (3D) is essential for understanding materials evolution under operating conditions, yet dynamic electron tomography remains limited by slow tilt series acquisition and by…
Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS) provides nanoscale chemical fingerprints alongside high-resolution topographic mapping of molecules, offering a powerful tool for materials discovery. However, TERS image datasets are challenging to…
The crystallographic texture is a key organization feature of many technical and biological materials. In these materials, especially hierarchically structured ones, the preferential alignment of the nano constituents is heavily influencing…
We recast the Howie-Whelan equations for generating simulated transmission electron microscope (TEM) images, replacing the dependence on local atomic displacements with atomic positions only. This allows very rapid computation of simulated…
Quantum information transfer from light to atom ensembles and vice versa has both basic and practical importance. Among the relevant topics let us mention entanglement and decoherence of macroscopic systems, together with applications to…
Transmission electron beams (TEBs) have long been used to study and manipulate materials at nanometer scales. In the late 1970's, Cherns demonstrated surface pitting in Au films upon exposure to a 1MeV TEB and observed crystal dislocations…
A method for subsurface visualization and characterization of hidden subsurface nano-structures based on Scanning Tuneling Microscopy/Spectroscopy (STM/STS) has been developed. The nano-objects buried under a metal surface up to several…
The virtual (i.e., fundamental many body quantum theory-based, computational) synthesis method is used to establish electronic templates of about 30 non-stoichiometric nanosystems composed of nickel and oxygen atoms and ranging from about 6…
Many promising building blocks of future electronic technology - including non-stoichiometric compounds, strongly correlated oxides, and strained or patterned films - are inhomogeneous on the nanometer length scale. Exploiting the…
One of the primary uses for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) is to measure diffraction pattern images in order to determine a crystal structure and orientation. In nanobeam electron diffraction (NBED) we scan a moderately converged…
We report a new approach for progressive and well-controlled downsizing of nanostructures below the 10 nm scale. Low energetic ion beam (Ar+) is used for gentle surface erosion, progressively shrinking the dimensions with ~ 1 nm accuracy.…
Helium nanodroplets, commonly regarded as the "nearly ideal spectroscopic matrix", are being actively studied for more than two decades now. While they mostly serve as cold, weakly perturbing and transparent medium for high-resolution…
Niobium with its highest transition temperature among all elemental superconductors has become a favorable substrate for realizing well-defined low-dimensional magnet-superconductor hybrid systems exhibiting novel types of exotic electronic…
In this study structural and mechanical properties of a 1 um thick Al2O3 coating, deposited on 316L stainless steel by Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD), subjected to high energy ion irradiation were assessed. Mechanical properties of pristine…
Optical metasurfaces, consisting of subwavelength-scale meta-atom arrays, hold great promise to overcome fundamental limitations of conventional optics. Scalable nanomanufacturing of metasurfaces with high uniformity and reproducibility is…
Single particle cryo-electron microscopy has become a critical tool in structural biology over the last decade, able to achieve atomic scale resolution in three dimensional models from hundreds of thousands of (noisy) two-dimensional…
This paper presents high-order (HO) electromagnetic modeling of plasmonic nanostructures based on the Locally Corrected Nystrom (LCN) method. Advanced nanophotonic and nanoplasmonic structures involve electrically large electromagnetic…
High-resolution mapping of electronic properties at oxide heterointerfaces remains challenging due to probe delocalization and overlapping signals. In this work, we employ monochromated, probe-corrected scanning transmission electron…
Single-Particle Reconstruction (SPR) in Cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM) is the task of estimating the 3D structure of a molecule from a set of noisy 2D projections, taken from unknown viewing directions. Many algorithms for SPR start…
