Metal-coated microsphere arrays (MCMA), consisting of metal films deposited over dielectric (polymer, $SiO_2$) colloidal microspheres, represent a class of plasmonic crystals with proven capabilities as substrates for surface enhanced optical spectroscopy (Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering - SERS, Surface/Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence - SEF/MEF) or sensing based on Localized Surface Plasmon...
Transition metal dichalcogenides, as a well studied family of quasi-2D materials, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to rich phase diagrams, thickness-dependent transport, unique optical properties and collective electron phenomena which occur at experimentally accessible temperatures. Additionally, it was recently shown that in the metallic single crystal alloys of...
This article summarizes some of the features of pure indium antimonide nanostructures growth through TVA method and their potential applications in the industry. To obtain the expression of geometric magnetoresistance at low magnetic fields and the expression for resistance in intermediate magnetic fields, the current density equation was examined. For the particular case of the sandwich...
Zink ferrite powders are widely studied due to their application in many fields, such as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, gas sensors, magnetic materials, catalytic materials, and antibacterial materials in water treatment. We present the structural and magnetic properties of nanosized $ ZnFe_{2} $O$ _{4} $ powders synthesized by sonochemistry and discuss their dependence on the...
Random field Ising model, in particular its nonequilibrium version, has been extensively used for modeling the behavior of disordered ferromagnetic materials driven by external magnetic field. To this point, for systems of finite size, two domains of disorder were identified based on the occurrence of spanning avalanches in the system.
Here we present new results clearly demonstrating the...
Ising model on honeycomb, decorated honeycomb and diced lattices, and other planar lattices with single decoration on each bond, is solved exactly in the presence of pair and triplet interactions with additional external magnetic field acting on specific sites. Field induced transition is observed when triplet interactions are present. Reentrance phenomenon is found in the decorated...
Ionic liquids (ILs) are two-component systems composed of large asymmetric and irregularly shaped organic cations and anions. Physical properties of ILs like negligible vapour pressure, high-temperature stability, high ionic conductivity and also a great variety of ILs and their mixtures highlight them as potentially relevant to lubrication [1, 2]. A large number of variations in IL...
Using TVA technology, multilayer and composite C-Ti layers were deposited on silicon substrates. The C-Ti multilayers were constructed from the silicon substrate as follows: 100nm of carbon, followed by alternant 17nm Ti and 40 nm C three times, covered by one last 17 nm Ti layer, resulting a seven multilayer structure. For the composite layer, after the pre 100nm carbon one, we varied quasi...
Understanding the behavior of strongly correlated electronic systems is one of the central challenges in condensed matter theory. In the focus of these efforts are the cuprate superconductors: They exhibit a highly universal strange metallic behavior, from the superconducting critical temperature, up to the highest accessible temperature. The nature of the strange metallic state, its...
The interlayer magnetothermopower of the organic superconductor $\kappa-\rm (ET)_2Cu(NCS)_2$ is studied at temperatures down to 0.5 K and fields up to 32 T. Analysis of the background magnetothermopower show that at low temperatures it is negative and exhibits an upturn at higher field, producing a dip at a field close to the upper critical field $B_{c2}$. There are clear magnetothermopower...
We study a quasi two-dimensional Josephson junction of d-wave superconductors through two ferromagnetic layers in between. Ferromagnets are separated by isolator barrier. In the frame of Bogoliubov – de Gennes formalism we solve scattering problem to find current-phase relations in the case of $d_{x^2-y^2}$/ferromagnetic barrier/$d_{xy}$-wave superconductor junctions. We find that...
While ground-state properties of the Holstein model are well understood by now, the evaluation of its finite-temperature spectral properties has received more attention only recently [1, 2]. Here, we develop a hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) approach to compute real-time single-particle correlation functions and thermodynamic quantities of the Holstein model at finite temperature [3]....
It is generally accepted that the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) gives a good solution of the Holstein model [1], but only in dimensions greater than two. Here we show that the DMFT, which becomes exact in the weak coupling and in the atomic limit, provides an excellent numerically cheap approximate solution for the spectral function of the Holstein model in the whole range of parameters...
The coupling of Frenkel excitons (FEs) and intramolecular vibrations in an organic layer as a part of microcavity has been studied in the paper. Two cases are treated: a) uniaxial layer of point group 4 (optical axis is supposed perpendicular to the layer); b) monoclinic anthracene-like layer with monoclinic axis b perpendicular to the layer. The exciton-phonon coupling produces the vibronic...
Graphene (G) grown on Ni(100) forms the stripped moiré pattern that can be described as an alternate arrangement of valleys, where G is close to the nickel substrate and interacts with it rather strongly, and ridges, where G is far away from the substrate and is almost free-standing [1]. When metal adatoms are deposited on G/Ni(100), the structural differences between the valleys and the...
Currently, rechargeable ion batteries are attracting more attention than others due to their advantages as recycling charging devices with high energy capacity, high performance, and easy adaptation to industry [1,2]. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the best performing batteries mainly due to their relatively high energy densities, good stability, and low self-discharge. Their main...
Symmetry determines forms of band structures in the vicinity of special points in the reciprocal space of one-, two- and three-dimensional materials. After short introduction to the complete classification of linear dispersions in 2D materials,$^1$ we will focus on a particular example. A tight binding model on a crystal with four sites per primitive cell that belongs to grey layer single...
Inorganic metal-halide perovskites have drawn much attention as candidates for producing low cost high-performance solar cells having efficiency reported as high as 20% in single-junction architecture. Their electronic and structural properties have been the case of intense study in both experimental setups and computational simulations. Since solar cells are expected to perform outside of...
Quasi-two-dimensional materials, known for their easy exfoliation to a monolayer and unique optical and transport properties are promising candidates for nanospinctronics and nanoelectronics. Experimental confirmation of magnetic ordering persisting to a monolayer in these complex systems in 2017 did not only widen up the area of their potential application, but also opened up a completely new...
