Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation effects on phonon anharmonicity of KOs2O6

open access: yesAIP Advances, 2019
Spin-orbit coupling and electron correlation effects from Os 5d electrons on phonon anharmonicity of β−pyrochlore superconductor KOs2O6 are systematically studied by first-principles frozen-phonon calculations.

Direct Wigner tomography of a superconducting anharmonic oscillator

open access: yes, 2012
The analysis of wave-packet dynamics may be greatly simplified when viewed in phase-space. While harmonic oscillators are often used as a convenient platform to study wave-packets, arbitrary state preparation in these systems is more challenging.

Anomalous thermal expansion in 1D transition-metal cyanides: what makes the novel trimetallic cyanide Cu1/3Ag1/3Au1/3CN behave differently? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The structural dynamics of a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) mixed-metal cyanide, Cu1/3Ag1/3Au1/3CN, with intriguing thermal properties is explored. All the current known related compounds with straight-chain structures, such as group 11 cyanides CuCN, AgCN ...

Light Switchable Ionic Conductivity of Arylazopyrazole Modified Polysiloxanes

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We present a polysiloxane functionalized with a novel arylazopyrazole dye that undergoes reversible photoisomerization. Upon lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide addition and UV irradiation, the polymer exhibits a shift in tan(d) toward higher frequencies and enhanced ionic conductivity.

Strong Proton‐Phonon Coupling Drives Fast Ion Transport in Perovskites

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Experimental and computational phonon analysis of ABO3‐type proton conductor BaSnO3 shows that substitution on the B‐site with yttrium forms an imaginary phonon mode which is instrumental for the function as proton conductor. This overcompensates the adverse proton trapping effect of the yttrium.

Unraveling Energy Flow Mechanisms in Semiconductors by Ultrafast Spectroscopy: Germanium as a Case Study

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A multi‐technique pump‐probe setup capable of performing both transient reflectivity and time‐resolved Raman spectroscopy after ultrafast excitation, provides a comprehensive understanding of ultrafast electronic and phononic processes. Distinct decay rates for the temperature, frequency, and linewidth of the phonon mode in germanium are observed ...

Prediction of Thermal Transport Properties of Pristine and BN-Substituted Holey Graphynes

open access: yesInorganics
The merging of pore designs is a potential strategy for achieving ultra-low lattice thermal conductivity (κ), for which phonon anharmonicity and size effect are indispensable for discovering novel functional materials in thermal applications.
