    A DFT study on hydrogen diffusion across zinc surfaces at low coverage

    Geometric properties

    Single hydrogen atom/supercell

    In order to investigate the position of the energy barrier(s) on the surface we analyze the trajectories of the hydrogen atom during the dynamics. Two temperatures were used for the propagation,…

  • Manipulating wetting and pore filling by wall transparency

    Manipulating wetting and pore filling by wall transparency

    We consider a slit-shaped channel of width c formed by a rigid thin solid wall of thickness w (extremely thin walls may experience elastic deformations, giving rise to modulations of the channel width beneath droplets;transparency effects…

    Magnetic tunnel junctions driven by hybrid optical-electrical signals as a flexible neuromorphic computing platform

    Device architecture and measurement setup

    On a single chip, we fabricated an array of individual magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) devices, each defined by a multilayered spintronic stack and embedded within a SiO2 dielectric matrix. The devices span…

    Emergent topological polarization textures in relaxor ferroelectrics

    Sample Synthesis

    Powder specimens of (1-x)PMN-xPT with x = 0.3, 0.35 were synthesized using the columbite route described in ref. 43. Powders of MgCO3 and Nb2O5 (with 2 mol % excess MgO) were reacted at 900 °C for 8 h in air to form…

  • Quantum geometry induced microwave enhancement of superconducting order in flat bands

    Quantum geometry induced microwave enhancement of superconducting order in flat bands

    Nonequilibrium flat band superconductivity

    To describe nonequilibrium superconductivity in flat bands, we start by considering a general multiband system which hosts at least one flat Bloch band. The corresponding Hamiltonian satisfies

  • Ramification of complex magnetism in Nd2Ir2O7 observed by Raman scattering spectroscopy

    Ramification of complex magnetism in Nd2Ir2O7 observed by Raman scattering spectroscopy

    To understand the Raman spectra of Nd2Ir2O7 below 33 K, we start with analyzing the existing information on its magnetic response. The data on the low-temperature magnetic order of the Nd and Ir sublattices were obtained by the neutron…
