Brillouin light scattering of spin waves inaccessible with free-space light

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
Microfocus Brillouin light scattering is a powerful technique for the spectroscopic and spatial characterization of elementary excitations in materials. However, the small momentum of light limits the accessible excitations to the center of the Brillouin

Anharmonic phonon frequency shift in MgB2

open access: yes, 2003
We compute the anharmonic shift of the phonon frequencies in MgB2, using density functional theory. We explicitly take into account the scattering between different phonon modes at different q-points in the Brillouin zone.

Gapless Superconductivity From Extremely Dilute Magnetic Disorder in 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that 2H‐NbSe2‐xSx hosts gapless superconductivity at unexpectedly low magnetic impurity concentrations. Combining STM, Bogoliubovde Gennes simulations, DFT, and quasiparticle interference, we comprehensively study the development of gapless behavior and show that SeS substitution reshapes the band structure, enhances nesting, and drives ...

Speed of sound measurement and mapping in transparent materials by impulsive stimulated Brillouin microscopy

open access: yesJPhys Photonics
Impulsive stimulated Brillouin scattering (ISBS) is a variant of stimulated Brillouin scattering, which can overcome the shortcomings of the long acquisition time of traditional Brillouin microscopy.

The Coupling of Ferroelectric Polarization and Oxygen Vacancy Migration Enables Electrically Controlled Thermal Memories

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 epitaxial thin films exhibit a non‐volatile, electrically controlled thermal conductivity enabled by the coupling between oxygen vacancy migration, acting as phonon scatterers, and ferroelectric polarization, acting as ion migration valve.

Quantum walk of a Bose-Einstein condensate in the Brillouin zone

open access: yes, 2017
We propose a realistic scheme to implement discrete-time quantum walks in the Brillouin zone (i.e., in quasimomentum space) with a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate. Relying on a static optical lattice to suppress tunneling in real space, the condensate is

Rayleigh–Brillouin scattering of carbon dioxide [PDF]

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2014
The spectral lineshape of spontaneous Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering in CO2 is studied in a range of pressures. The spectrum is influenced by the bulk viscosity, which is a relaxation phenomenon involving the internal degrees of freedom of the molecule. The associated relaxation rates can be compared to the frequency shift of the scattered light, which ...

Resonant Domain Wall Dynamics in a Three‐Dimensional Magnetic Nano Double Helix

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
3D magnetic nanostructures promise exciting possibilities for magnetization dynamics. However, experimental realizations remain scarce. In nanoprinted cobalt double helices, time‐resolved X‐ray microscopy reveals harmonic domain wall dynamics. Simulations identify the mode and additional higher‐frequency resonances, revealing a rich dynamic landscape ...

Brillouin Cooling

open access: yes, 2011
We analyze how to exploit Brillouin scattering for the purpose of cooling opto-mechanical devices and present a quantum-mechanical theory for Brillouin cooling. Our analysis shows that significant cooling ratios can be obtained with standard experimental

Microwave Absorption for Detection of Dirac Fermions in SnTe Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions in samples exposed to the atmosphere. Results showed that although topological surface states are robust against environmental degradation, they are not detectable by electrical transport measurements. Hence, microwave absorption can detect Dirac fermions even in samples whose surfaces have deteriorated ...
