Ballistic semiconductor structures have allowed the realization of optics-like phenomena in electronics, including magnetic focusing and lensing. An extension that appears unique to graphene is to use both n and p carrier types to create…
Electroforming of metal-oxide-metal memristors is generally attributed to the creation of oxygen-vacancy filaments within the oxide, with noble metal electrodes such as Pt and Au remaining chemically inert. Here, we demonstrate that…
An electron beam traversing a structured plasmonic field is shown to undergo diffraction with characteristic angular patterns of both elastic and inelastic outgoing electron components. In particular, a plasmonic {\it grating} (e.g., a…
Recent works suggest that the surface chemistry, in particular, the presence of oxygen vacancies can affect the polarization in a ferroelectric material. This should, in turn, influence the domain ordering driven by the need to screen the…
Here we a present a density functional theory study of pentacene ultra-thin films on flat [(111)] and vicinal [(455)] Au surfaces. We have performed crystal and electronic structure calculations by using PBE and optB86b-vdW functionals and…
The atomic structure and composition of non-interfacial ITO and ITO-Si interfaces were studied with Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering on…
Oxygen was electrochemically intercalated into Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ sintered samples, single crystals and a thin film. We estimate the diffusion length to a few $\mu$m and the concentration of the intercalated oxygen to $\delta$ $\simeq$ 0.01. The…
Electron conduction through bare metal oxide nanocrystal (NC) films is hindered by surface depletion regions resulting from the presence of surface states. We control the radial dopant distribution in tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) NCs as a…
The structure and morphology of polymers are significantly altered upon exposure to high energy gamma irradiation. The present investigation reports the influence of such irradiation of doses in the range of 1 - 30 kGy on the particle size…
The development of optical power limiting materials is important to protect individuals or materials from intense laser irradiation. The photophysical behavior of Os(II) polypyridinyl complexes having aromatic hydrocarbon terpyridyl ligands…
This work investigates the problematic diffusion of metal atoms into phase change chalcogenides, which can destroy resonances in photonic devices. Interfaces between Ge2Sb2Te5 and metal layers were studied using X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and…
The analysis of the structure, chemical stability, electronic and ferroelectric properties of the interfaces between Pt(001) and PbZrTiO$_3$(001) (PZT) have been performed with $ab$ $initio$ methods. We show that the chemical environment…
This work presents an ab initio exploration of fundamental mechanisms with direct relevance to dendrite formation at lithium-electrolyte interfaces. Specifically, we explore surface diffusion barriers and solvated surface energies of…
Perovskite oxides ABO$_3$ containing heavy B-site elements are a class of candidate materials to host topological metals with a large spin-orbit interaction. In contrast to the band insulator BaSnO$_3$, the semimetal BaPbO$_3$ is proposed…
Multiple functional ionic and electronic orders are observed in high temperature superconducting cuprates. The charge density wave order is one of them and it is spatially localized in spatial regions of the material. It is also known that…
Light elements play an important role in influencing the macroscale properties of engineering alloys through grain boundary (GB) segregation phenomena. However, the scarcity and scattered nature of ab initio datasets for light elements in…
The optical conductivities of films of (La$_{0.5}$Pr$_{0.5}$)$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_3$ with different oxygen isotopes ($^{16}$O and $^{18}$O) have been determined in the spectral range from 0.3 to 4.3 eV using a combination of transmission…
In the framework of the Einstein-Maxwell-aether theory we study the birefringence effect, which can occur in the pp-wave symmetric dynamic aether. The dynamic aether is considered to be latently birefringent quasi-medium, which displays…
Controlling the transport, trapping, and filtering of nanoparticles is important for many applications. By virtue of their weak response to gravity and their thermal motion, various physical mechanisms can be exploited for such operations…
Two-dimensional (2D) $\beta$-TeO$_2$ has gained attention as a promising material for optoelectronic and power device applications, thanks to its transparency and high hole mobility. However, the underlying mechanism behind its $p$-type…
