Magnetometry with nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers has so far been measured via emission of light from NV centers or via absorption at the singlet transition at 1042 nm. Here, we demonstrate a phenomenon of broadband optical absorption by the…

NaSbS2 is a semiconductor that was recently shown to have remarkable efficacy as a solar absorber indicating efficient charge collection even in defected material. We report first principles calculations of properties that show (1) an…

The structural, cohesive, electronic and optical properties of mixed SiGe:H quantum dots are studied by Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations on a representative ensemble of medium size nanoparticles of the form…

We investigate the optical properties of hydrogen as it undergoes a transition from the insulating molecular to the metallic atomic phase, when heated by a pulsed laser at megabar pressures in a diamond anvil cell. Most current experiments…

Since thin-film silicon solar cells have limited optical absorption, we explore the effect of a nanostructured back reflector to recycle the unabsorbed light. As a back reflector we investigate a 3D photonic band gap crystal made from…

In the ac polarized Raman spectra of NaV2O5 we have found anomalous phonon broadening, and an energy shift of the low-frequency mode as a function of the temperature. These effects are related to the breaking of translational symmetry,…

Both theoretical and experimental analysis are carried out to understand the physical properties of the fascinating electronic and optical properties of antimony tungstate (Sb$_2$WO$_6$). The nanosized ($\sim 40-80~nm$) material is produced…

Many properties of layered materials change as they are thinned from their bulk forms down to single layers, with examples including indirect-to-direct band gap transition in 2H semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides as well as…

The ultrahigh thermal conductivity of boron arsenide makes it a promising material for next-generation electronics and optoelectronics. In this work, we report measured optical properties of cubic boron arsenide crystals including the…

The topological behavior of heavy metal alloys opens a vast area for incredible research and future technology. Here, we extend our previous report about the superconducting properties of Sn0.4Sb0.6 along with the compositional variation of…

We study the optical and electrical properties of silver films with a graded thickness obtained through metallic evaporation in vacuum on a tilted substrate to evaluate their use as semitransparent electrical contacts. We measure their…

The optical spectra of CdSe nanocrystals up to 55 A in diameter are analyzed in a wide range of energies from the fine structure of the low-energy excitations to the so-called high-energy transitions. We apply a symmetry-based method in two…

We present infrared ab-plane conductivity data for the layered cobaltate Na$_x$CoO$_2$ at three different doping levels ($x=0.25, 0.50$, and 0.75). The Drude weight increases monotonically with hole doping, $1-x$. At the lowest hole doping…

Color centers in diamond, among them the negatively-charged germanium vacancy (GeV$^-$), are promising candidates for many applications of quantum optics such as a quantum network. For efficient implementation, the optical transitions need…

We measured the in-plane optical conductivity of a nearly optimally doped (Ba,K)Fe2As2 single crystal with Tc = 39.1 K. Upon entering the superconducting state the optical conductivity below ~20 meV vanishes, strongly suggesting a fully…

In recent years, the Na-ion SuperIonic CONductor (NASICON) based polyanionics are considered the pertinent cathode materials in sodium-ion batteries due to their 3D open framework, which can accommodate a wide range of Na content and can…

We study the optical properties of gapped two-dimensional materials which are subject to the quantum anomalous Hall effect. At sufficiently low temperatures the transmission, reflection and absorption coefficients are found to have a…

In atom optics a material structure is commonly regarded as an amplitude mask for atom waves. However, atomic diffraction patterns formed using material gratings indicate that material structures also operate as phase masks. In this study a…

We construct a semi-microscopic theory, to describe the optical conductivity of GaMnAs in the dilute limit, x = 1%. We construct an effective Hamiltonian that captures inside-impurity band optical transitions as well as transitions between…

We report on the preparation and characterization of single crystal gamma phase NaxCoO2 with 0.25 < x < 0.84 using a non-aqueous electrochemical chronoamperemetry technique. By carefully mapping the overpotential versus x (for x < 0.84), we…
