Phonon Screening of Excitons in Semiconductors: Halide Perovskites and Beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Marina R. Filip, Jonah B. Haber, Jeffrey B. Neaton, , | Summary: The ab initio Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approach, an established method for the study of excitons in materials, is typically solved in a limit where only static screening from electrons is captured. Here, we generalize […]

SENSEI: Characterization of Single-Electron Events Using a Skipper-CCD

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: Liron Barak, Itay M. Bloch, Ana Botti, Mariano Cababie, Gustavo Cancelo | Summary: We use a science-grade Skipper Charge Coupled Device (Skipper-CCD) operating in a low-radiation background environment to develop a semi-empirical model that characterizes the origin of single-electron events in CCDs. We identify, separate, and quantify […]
