The effect of femtosecond laser irradiation on bulk and single-layer MoS2 on silicon oxide is studied. Optical, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Raman microscopies were used to quantify the damage. The intensity of…
We present a comprehensive study on the effects of proton irradiation at different energies (150 and 590 keV) with the fluence of 1x 1012 proton/cm2 on monolayer MoS2. This study not only improves our understanding of the influence of…
Structural defects in 2D-transition metal dichalcogenides are critical in modulating their optical and electrical behavior. Nevertheless, precise defect control within the monolayer regime poses a significant challenge. Herein, a…
Elastic knock-on is the main electron irradiation damage mechanism in metals including graphene. Atomic vibrations influence its cross-section, but only the out-of-plane direction has been considered so far in the literature. Here, we…
The inelastic scattering of fast electrons by metastable hydrogen atoms in the presence of a linearly polarized laser field is theoretically studied in the domain of moderate field intensities. The interaction of the hydrogen atom with the…
Some of the materials are more affected by oxidation than others. To elucidate the oxidation-induced degradation mechanisms in transition metal chalcogenides, the chemical effects in single layer MoS$_2$ and MoTe$_2$ were studied in situ in…
Transition metal dichalcogenides are known to possess large optical nonlinearities and driving these materials at high intensities is desirable for many applications. Understanding their optical responses under repetitive intense excitation…
Bound state, valence electronic excitation spectra of N_2 are probed by nonresonant inelastic x-ray and electron scattering. Within the usual theoretical treatments, dynamical structure factors derived from the two probes should be…
The interaction of highly charged ions (HCI) with solids leads to particle sputtering, which can be used for defect-mediated engineering of the properties of the material. Ions can store energy in the form of kinetic and potential energy…

Inelastic scattering of electrons incident on a solid surface is determined by the two properties: (i) electronic response of the target system and (ii) the detailed quantum-mechanical motion of the projectile electron inside and in the…

Inelastic scattering techniques provide a powerful approach to studying electron and nuclear dynamics, via reconstruction of a propagator that quantifies the time evolution of a system. There is now growing interest in applying such methods…
Spectroscopies utilizing free electron beams as probes offer detailed information on the reciprocal-space excitations of 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers. Yet, despite the attention paid to such…
Investigating electronic structure and excitations under extreme conditions gives access to a rich variety of phenomena. High pressure typically induces behavior such as magnetic collapse and the insulator-metal transition in 3d transition…
It is known that carrier mobility in layered semiconductors generally increases from two-dimension (2D) to three-dimension due to suppressed scattering channels resulting from decreased densities of electron and phonon states. In this work,…
