Time- and Angle-Resolved Photoelectron Spectroscopy of Solar Materials

Serhii Polishchuk

Natural foundations defining the manner in which a solid material interacts with optical radiation are primarily encoded in the material's momentum-dependent band structure and the microscopic details of the electron-lattice interactions. An access to this ...

Role of a higher-dimensional interaction in stabilizing charge density waves in quasi-one-dimensional NbSe3 revealed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy

Helmuth Berger, Christophe Berthod

We revisit charge density wave (CDW) behavior in the archetypal quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) material NbSe3 by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements utilizing a microfocused laser with a photon energy of 6.3 eV. We pres ...

Even-odd conductance effect in graphene nanoribbons induced by edge functionalization with aromatic molecules: basis for novel chemosensors

Oleg Yazyev, Michele Pizzochero, Kristians Cernevics

We theoretically investigate the electron transport in armchair and zigzag graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) chemically functionalized withp-polyphenyl and polyacene groups of increasing length. Our nearest-neighbor tight-binding calculations indicate that, depe ...

Linear and quadratic magnetoresistance in the semimetal SiP2

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang, Huancheng Chen

Multiple mechanisms for extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR) found in many topologically nontrivial/trivial semimetals have been theoretically proposed, but experimentally it is unclear which mechanism is responsible in a particular sample. In this pape ...

Pure Spin Current and Magnon Chemical Potential in a Nonequilibrium Magnetic Insulator

Kyongmo An, Li Shi

Nonequilibrium phenomena are ubiquitous in nature and in a wide range of systems, including cold atomic gases and solid-state materials. While these phenomena are challenging to describe both theoretically and experimentally, they are essential for the fun ...

Quantum interference effects of out-of-plane confinement on two-dimensional electron systems in oxides

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

It was recently discovered that a conductive, metallic state is formed on the surface of some insulating oxides. First observed on SrTiO3 (001), it was then found in other compounds as diverse as anatase TiO2, KTaO3, BaTiO3, ZnO, and also on different surf ...

Insight into the electronic structure of semiconducting epsilon-GaSe and epsilon-InSe

Marco Grioni, Helmuth Berger, Alberto Crepaldi, Daniela Pacilè

Metal monochalcogenides (MX) have recently been rediscovered as two-dimensional materials with electronic properties highly dependent on the number of layers. Although some intriguing properties appear in the few-layer regime, the carrier mobility of MX co ...

Electrons leave the flatland: out-of-plane charge dynamics in layered materials

Edoardo Martino

The goal of this thesis is to explore the "neglected" third dimension of layered materials, by studying the interlayer charge dynamics through dc conductivity, optical spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations. This project was designed to respond to the gro ...

Large magnetoresistance and nonzero Berry phase in the nodal-line semimetal MoO2

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang, Huancheng Chen

We performed calculations of the electronic band structure and the Fermi surface as well as measured the longitudinal resistivity rho(xx)(T,H), Hall resistivity rho(xy)(T,H), and quantum oscillations of the magnetization as a function of temperature at var ...
