    Impact of halide variation on the optoelectronic properties of double perovskites

    Crystal growth and structural properties

    The single crystals of \(Cs_{2}AgBiCl_{6}\) and \(Cs_{2}AgBiBr_{6}\) are prepared via a slow cooling technique (Fig. 1a). This technique was based on the use of hydrochloric (HCl) and hydrobromic (HBr) acid…

  • Hyperbolic dispersion and low-frequency plasmons in electrides

    Hyperbolic dispersion and low-frequency plasmons in electrides

    Limitations of hyperbolic dispersion in general anisotropic crystals

    We first present the reasoning why general anisotropic crystals cannot guarantee a hyperbolic dispersion. In metals, the hyperbolic plasmonic modes arise from the interaction…

  • Magnetic imaging under high pressure with a spin-based quantum sensor integrated in a van der Waals heterostructure

    Magnetic imaging under high pressure with a spin-based quantum sensor integrated in a van der Waals heterostructure

    Principle of the experiment

    We start by studying how the optical and spin properties of \({{{\rm{V}}}}_{{{\rm{B}}}}^{-}\) centers in hBN evolve with pressure. To this end, we rely on a monoisotopic h10BN crystal in which

  • Why “dry” oil wells aren’t really empty

    Why “dry” oil wells aren’t really empty

    A common problem with oil wells is that they can run dry even when sound-based measurements say there’s still oil there. A team from Penn State University used PSC’s flagship Bridges-2 supercomputer to add a time dimension to these seismic…
