Ultrafast Umklapp-assisted electron-phonon cooling in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene

Jake Dudley Mehew, Rafael Luque Merino, Hiroaki Ishizuka +8

Carrier relaxation measurements in moiré materials offer a unique probe of the microscopic interactions, in particular the ones that are not easily measured by transport. Umklapp s…

A pre-time-zero spatiotemporal microscopy technique for the ultrasensitive determination of the thermal diffusivity of thin films

Sebin Varghese, Jake Dudley Mehew, Alexander Block +8

Diffusion is one of the most ubiquitous transport phenomena in nature. Experimentally, it can be tracked by following point spreading in space and time. Here, we introduce a spatio…
