Acoustic-pressure-assisted engineering of aluminium foams
Xavier Mettan, Edoardo Martino, Lidia Rossi +8
Foaming metals modulates their physical properties, enabling attractive applications where lightweight, low thermal conductivity or acoustic isolation are desirable. Adjusting the…
Nature of native atomic defects in ZrTe and their impact on the low-energy electronic structure
B. Salzmann, A. Pulkkinen, B. Hildebrand +9
Over the past decades, investigations of the anomalous low-energy electronic properties of ZrTe have reached a wide array of conclusions. An open question is the growth method'…
Structural phase transition and bandgap control through mechanical deformation in layered semiconductors 1T-ZrX2 (X = S, Se)
Edoardo Martino, David Santos-Cottin, Florian Le Mardele +10
Applying elastic deformation can tune a material physical properties locally and reversibly. Spatially modulated lattice deformation can create a bandgap gradient, favouring photo-…
Optical conductivity of the type-II Weyl semimetal TaIrTe
F. Le Mardelé, D. Santos-Cottin, E. Martino +7
TaIrTe is an example of a candidate Weyl type-II semimetal with a minimal possible number of Weyl nodes. Four nodes are reported to exist a single plane in -space. The exist…
Probing intraband excitations in ZrTe: a high-pressure infrared and transport study
D. Santos-Cottin, M. Padlewski, E. Martino +12
Zirconium pentatetelluride, ZrTe5, shows remarkable sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure. In this work we address the high-pressure transport and optical properties of this compound…
Low-energy excitations in type-II Weyl semimetal Td-MoTe2 evidenced through optical conductivity
D. Santos-Cottin, E. Martino, F. Le Mardele +5
Molybdenum ditelluride, MoTe2, is a versatile material where the topological phase can be readily tuned by manipulating the associated structural phase transition. The fine details…
