Defect centers in hexagonal boron nitride represent room-temperature single-photon sources in a layered van der Waals material. These light emitters appear with a wide range of transition energies ranging over the entire visible spectrum,…
We have studied the transient evolution of electrons distributed over two levels in a wide quantum well, with the two levels below the optical phonon energy, after an ultrafast interband excitation and cascade emission of optical phonons.…
We present a simple tight-binding model for the two-dimensional energy bands of polyacene field-effect transistors and for the coupling of these bands to lattice vibrations of their host molecular crystal. We argue that the strongest…
Rare-earth orthoferrites are a promising platform for antiferromagnetic spintronics with a rich variety of terahertz spin and lattice dynamics phenomena. For instance, it has been experimentally demonstrated that the light-driven optical…
A hallmark of structural glasses and other disordered solids is the emergence of excess low-frequency vibrations, on top of the Debye spectrum $D_{\rm Debye}(\omega)$ of phonons ($\omega$ denotes the vibrational frequency), which exist in…
We use intense terahertz pulses to excite the resonant mode (0.6 THz) of a micro-fabricated dipole antenna with a vacuum gap. The dipole antenna structure enhances the peak amplitude of the in-gap THz electric field by a factor of ~170.…
Raman light scattering, low-temperature photoluminescence, light-scattering tomography, and hydrogenation were used to investigate optical properties of defects in strain-relaxed Si_{1-x}Ge_x (0.05 \le x \le 0.50) alloys. The…
A Terahertz (THz) laser with strong strength could excite more than one phonons and induce a transient lattice distortion termed as nonlinear phononics. This process allows dynamic control of various physical properties, including…
Phase-stable electromagnetic pulses in the THz frequency range offer several unique capabilities in time-resolved spectroscopy. However, the diversity of their application is limited by the covered spectral bandwidth. In particular, the…
The discovery of superconductivity at 203K in SH$_3$ is an important step toward higher values of $T_c$. Predictions based on state-of-the-art DFT for the electronic structure, including one preceding experimental confirmation, showed the…
Quasi-one-dimensional transition-metal chalcogenide Ta$_2$PdSe$_6$ is a promising thermoelectric semimetal due to the strong electron-hole asymmetry in the carrier lifetime. However, the microscopic origin of such a strong asymmetry remains…
Phonon-polaritons are electromagnetic waves resulting from the coherent coupling of photons with optical phonons in polar dielectrics. Due to their exceptional ability to confine electric fields to deep subwavelength scales with low loss,…
Lattice-matched GaP layers without extended defects can be grown on Si(001) substrate via a two-step growth procedure, consisting of low-temperature nucleation followed by high-temperature overgrowth. A transient reflectivity experiment on…
We analyze the role of a Rayleigh surface phonon mode in the electron-phonon interaction at the surface of a 3D topological insulator. A strong renormalization of the phonon dispersion, leading eventually to the disappearance of Rayleigh…
We present a study of electrical and thermal transport in Weyl semimetal WTe$_2$ down to 0.3 K. The Wiedemann-Franz law holds below 2 K and a downward deviation starts above. The deviation is more pronounced in cleaner samples, as expected…
The study of phonon coupling in doped semiconductors via electrical transport measurements is challenging due to unwanted temperature-induced effects such as dopant ionisation and parallel conduction. Here, we study phonon scattering in 2D…
A new effect originating from the crystal-field-excitation - phonon coupling was observed (in the far infrared spectra of a multiferroic PrFe3(BO3)4). The reststrahlen band corresponding to the A2 symmetry nondegenerate phonon mode near 50…
We present time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements on the charge density wave system CeTe$_{3}$. Optical excitation transiently populates the unoccupied band structure and reveals a gap size of 2$\Delta$ = 0.59 eV.…
We study (inverse) photoemission from systems with strong coupling of doped carriers to phonons. Using an adiabatic approximation, we develop a method for calculating spectra. This method is particularly simple for systems where the…
Understanding the microscopic processes affecting the bulk thermal conductivity is crucial to develop more efficient thermoelectric materials. PbTe is currently one of the leading thermoelectric materials, largely thanks to its low thermal…
