Detecting, distinguishing, and spatiotemporally tracking photogenerated charge and heat at the nanoscale

Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Hannah L. Weaver, Cora M. Went, Joeson Wong, Dipti Jasrasaria, Eran Rabani | Summary: Since dissipative processes are ubiquitous in semiconductors, characterizing how electronic and thermal energy transduce and transport at the nanoscale is vital for understanding and leveraging their fundamental properties. For example, in low-dimensional […]

Acousto-magnonic Hall effect in honeycomb antiferromagnets

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Ryotaro Sano, Yuya Ominato, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: The recently discovered van der Waals antiferromagnets have suffered from the lack of a comprehensive method to study their magnetic properties. Here, we propose a dissipationless magnon spin Hall current driven by surface acoustic waves as a novel […]

Growth of ultrawide-bandgap BN/diamond heterostructures by pulsed laser deposition

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Tao Li, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh, Eugene Jeong | Summary: Heterostructures based on ultrawide-bandgap (UWBG) semiconductors (bandgap >4.0 eV), boron nitride (BN) and diamond are important for next-generation high-power electronics. However, in-situ hetero-epitaxy of BN/diamond or vice-versa remains extremely challenging, due to their non-trivial […]
