Photo-excited charge carriers suppress sub-terahertz phonon mode in silicon at room temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
There is a growing interest in the mode-by-mode understanding of electron and phonon transport for improving energy conversion technologies, such as thermoelectrics and photovoltaics.

Mitigating Singlet Exciton Back‐Transfer using 2D Spacer Layers for Perovskite‐Sensitised Upconversion

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, Volume 14, Issue 6, 9 February 2026.
The efficiency of bulk perovskite‐sensitised upconversion is hindered by parasitic singlet back‐transfer. A 2D perovskite spacer layer is introduced to weaken this loss pathway by increasing the separation between the sensitiser and the emitter. The spacer layer enhances the upconversion efficiency at lower excitation powers and improves the stability ...

New Kinds of Acoustic Solitons

open access: yes, 2007
We find that the modified sine-Gordon equation belonging to the class of the soliton equations describes the propagation of extremely short transverse acoustic pulses through the low-temperature crystal containing paramagnetic impurities with effective ...

Young modulus and Poisson ratio of PZT thin film by Picosecond Ultrasonics

open access: yes2012 IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, 2012
Thin-film sol-gel Pb(Zr0.52, Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) can be used in many actuator applications thanks to its high piezoelectric coefficients. The accurate knowledge of its mechanical properties such as Young's modulus (E) and Poisson ratio (v) or stiffness ...

The Omega Counter, a Frequency Counter Based on the Linear Regression

open access: yes, 2015
This article introduces the {\Omega} counter, a frequency counter -- or a frequency-to-digital converter, in a different jargon -- based on the Linear Regression (LR) algorithm on time stamps. We discuss the noise of the electronics.

Coherent Brillouin spectroscopy in a strongly scattering liquid by picosecond ultrasonics.

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2011
In a modification of a picosecond ultrasonic technique, a short acoustic pulse is launched into a liquid sample by a laser pulse absorbed in a semitransparent transducer film and is detected via coherent Brillouin scattering of a time-delayed probe pulse.

Thermoelastic study of nanolayered structures using time-resolved x-ray diffraction at high repetition rate

open access: yes, 2013
We investigate the thermoelastic response of a nanolayered sample composed of a metallic SrRuO3 (SRO) electrode sandwiched between a ferroelectric Pb(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3 (PZT) film with negative thermal expansion and a SrTiO3 substrate.
