Photoelectric absorption cross section of silicon near the band gap from room temperature to sub-Kelvin temperature

C. Stanford, M. J. Wilson, B. Cabrera +6

The use of cryogenic silicon as a detector medium for dark matter searches is gaining popularity. Many of these searches are highly dependent on the value of the photoelectric abso…

Similar ultrafast dynamics of several dissimilar Dirac and Weyl semimetals

Chris P. Weber, Bryan S. Berggren, Madison G. Masten +13

Recent years have seen the rapid discovery of solids whose low-energy electrons have a massless, linear dispersion, such as Weyl, line-node, and Dirac semimetals. The remarkable op…

Imaging the Oblique Propagation of Electrons in Germanium Crystals at Low Temperature and Low Electric Field

R. A. Moffatt, B. Cabrera, B. M. Corcoran +11

Excited electrons in the conduction band of germanium collect into four energy minima, or valleys, in momentum space. These local minima have highly anisotropic mass tensors which…
