White light-emitting diodes are gaining popularity and are set to become the most common light source in the U.S. by 2025. However, their performance is still limited by the lack of an efficient red-emitting component with a narrow band…

In Eu2ZnIrO6, effectively two atoms are active i.e. Ir is magnetically active, which results in complex magnetic ordering within the Ir sublattice at low temperature. On the other hand, although Eu is a van-vleck paramagnet, it is active in…

The local environment of Eu$^{2+}$ ($4f^{7}$, $S=7/2$) in Ca$_{1-x}$Eu$_{x}$B$_{6}$ ($0.003\leqslant x\leqslant 1.00$) is investigated by means of electron spin resonance (ESR). For $x\lesssim 0.003$ the spectra show resolved \textit{fine}…

The recently discovered Sr[Li$_2$Al$_2$O$_2$N$_2$]:Eu$^{2+}$ red phosphor, candidate for the next generation of eco-efficient white light-emitting diodes, exhibits excellent emission spectral position and exceptionally small linewidth. It…

The interactions between elementary excitations such as phonons, plasmons, magnons, or particle-hole pairs, drive emergent functionalities and electronic instabilities such as multiferroic behaviour, anomalous thermoelectric properties,…

Narrow-band red-emitting phosphors are a critical component in phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes for highly efficient illumination-grade lighting. In this work, we report the discovery of a quantitative descriptor for narrow-band…

In the present paper we report on the combined experimental and theoretical study of the Sr6-xEuxBP5O20 (x=0.01; 0.03; 0.05; 0.07; 0.09; 0.11; 0.13; 0.15) phosphors. Details of the samples preparation and spectroscopic measurements are…

Cuprate superconductors host a multitude of low-energy optical phonons. Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we study coherent phonons in Bi$_{2}$Sr$_{2}$Ca$_{0.92}$Y$_{0.08}$Cu$_{2}$O$_{8+\delta}$. Sub-meV modulations…

Rare-earth-doped nitride phosphors are promising materials for solid-state lighting and photonic applications due to their thermal stability, sharp emission lines, and strong UV-blue absorption. In this work, we present a first-principles…

Electron-phonon interaction in copper oxide superconductors is still enigmatic. Strong coupling for certain optic phonons is now well established experimentally, but theoretical understanding is challenging. Scattering of electrons near the…

An underestimation of the fundamental band gap values by the density functional theory within the local density approximation and associated approaches is a well-known challenge of ab-initio electronic structure computations. Motivated by…

We employed femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy to analyze the response of the electronic structure of the 122 Fe-pnictide parent compounds Ba/EuFe_2As_2 and optimally doped BaFe_{1.85}Co_{0.15}As_2 near the…

EuAl$_4$ is a rare earth intermetallic in which competing itinerant and/or indirect exchange mechanisms give rise to a complex magnetic phase diagram, including a centrosymmetric skyrmion lattice. These phenomena arise not in the tetragonal…

We investigate native point defects and rare-earth (co)dopants in SrAl$_2$O$_4$ using hybrid density-functional defect calculations. Europium (Eu) and dysprosium (Dy) are found to be mixed valence and energetically most favorable at the Sr…

The strong interlayer coupling in black phosphorus (BP), arising from wavefunction overlap between layers, is critical for understanding its electronic and optical properties. Here, we utilize terahertz (THz) spectroscopy to study phonon…

High spin systems, like those that incorporate rare-earth $4f$ elements (REEs), are increasingly relevant in many fields. Although research in such systems is sparse, the large Hilbert spaces they occupy are promising for many applications.…

The element specificity of soft X-ray spectroscopy makes it an ideal tool for analyzing the microscopic origin of ultrafast dynamics induced by localized optical excitation in metal-insulator heterostructures. Using [Fe/MgO]$_n$ as a model…

In ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) nitride and oxide semiconductors, increased bandgap (Eg) correlates with greater ionicity and strong electron-phonon coupling. This limits mobility through polar optical phonon scattering, localizes carriers via…
