Bismuth oxide (Bi$_2$O$_3$) is a polymorphic material of considerable technological interest, with applications spanning from heterogeneous catalysis to next-generation nanoelectronics. Despite its relevance, systematic investigations of…
In this work, we studied the adsorption behavior of deposited Si atoms along with their diffusion and other dynamic processes on a Pb monolayer-covered Si(111) surface from 125-230 K using a variable-temperature scanning tunneling…
Transition-edge sensors (TESs) as microcalorimeters offer high resolving power, owning to their sharp response and low operating temperature. In the hard X-ray regime and above, the demand for high quantum-efficiency requires the use of…
The neutron capture cross section of Bi209 has been measured at the CERN n TOF facility by employing the pulse-height-weighting technique. Improvements over previous measurements are mainly because of an optimized detection system, which…
The high pressure structural properties of bismuth oxide Bi2SiO5 have been investigated up to 28 GPa using in situ powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction and up to 50 GPa with DFT calculations. The monoclinic structure is found to persist up…
Herein, in-situ reduction of bismuth and graphene oxide was performed by a solvothermal method under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the resulting Bi on RGO nanocomposites were used as an anode material for Mg-ion batteries. The nanocomposite of…
Ab initio self-consistent total energy calculations using second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and Hay-Wadt effective core potentials for gallium and arsenic have been used to investigate the chemisorption of atomic oxygen on the…
We performed magnetization M(H,T) and magnetoresistance R(T,H) measurements on powdered (grain size ~ 149 micrometers) as well as highly oriented rhombohedral (A7) bismuth (Bi) samples consisting of single crystalline blocks of size ~ 1x1…
Bismuth oxide iodide (BiOI) has been viewed as a suitable environmentally-friendly alternative to lead-halide perovskites for low-cost (opto-)electronic applications such as photodetectors, phototransistors and sensors. To enable its…
Very recent report [1] on observation of superconductivity in Bi4O4S3 could potentially reignite the search for superconductivity in a broad range of layered sulphides. We report here synthesis of Bi4O4S3 at 5000C by vacuum encapsulation…
We present high angular resolution ($2\rlap.{''}8 \times 1\rlap.{''}7$) SiO J=5$\to$4; $v=0$ line observations of the OMC1S region in the Orion Nebula made using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). We detect for the first time a cluster of four…
We present the first measurements of inter-subband absorption of microwaves in surface electrons on liquid helium subjected to perpendicular magnetic field B. In quantizing B, the power absorption shows intermittent regions of enhanced and…
Boron doped diamond is extensively studied for its use in tribological and electrochemical applications due to its remarkable physical and chemical properties. However, ambient conditions play a major role to its macroscopically observed…
Superconductivity is observed in a composite of rhombohedral crystalline bismuth nanoparticles imbedded in an insulating porous opal host via electrical transport and AC magnetic susceptibility. The onset of superconductivity in this system…
Ab initio self-consistent total energy calculations using second order Moller-Plesset perturbation theory and Hay-Wadt effective core potentials with associated basis sets (HWECP's) for gallium and arsenic have been used to investigate the…
Resonant x-ray reflectivity measurements from the surface of liquid Bi22In78 find only a modest surface Bi enhancement, with 35 atomic % Bi in the first atomic layer. This is in contrast to the Gibbs adsorption in all liquid alloys studied…
Bulk rhombohedral Bismuth (Bi) at ambient pressure is a semimetal and it remains in the normal state down to 10~mK. The superconductivity (SC) in bulk Bi is thought to be very unlikely due to extremely low carrier density. The question of…
We present an analytical investigation of the optical absorption spectrum of monolayer molybdenumdisulfide. Based on the density matrix formalism, our approach gives insights into the microscopic origin of excitonic transitions, their…
In the search for superconductivity in BaAu2Sb2-type monoclinic structure, we have successfully synthesized a new compound BaPt2Bi2, which crystallizes in the space group P21/m (S.G. 11; Pearson symbol mP10) according to a combination of…
NbOI$_2$ has recently emerged as a new van der Waals material combining semiconducting behavior with intrinsic in plane ferroelectricity and pronounced transport and optical anisotropy. However, its photocarrier dynamics remain largely…
