Direct observation of anisotropic exciton dispersion in the 2D semiconductor CrSBr
Yiwen Song, Peiyi He, Weizhe Zhang +7
We report momentum-resolved measurements of exciton dispersion in multilayer CrSBr using defocus-engineered electron energy-loss spectroscopy, supported by first-principles calcula…
Nanoscale Thermal Imaging of Dislocation-Mediated Heat Transport
Ruilin Mao, Bingyao Liu, Jiaxin Liu +7
Dislocations in crystalline materials are widely exploited to tailor the thermal conductivity of semiconductors and thermoelectrics, yet a critical gap persists: direct measurement…
Resolving Phonons in Superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ at Sub-Unit-Cell Resolution
Xiaowen Zhang, Jiade Li, Xiaoyue Gao +9
The role of phonons in cuprates remains controversial, with their complex lattice structure complicating the investigation. Here, we identify phonon modes originating from charge r…
Strongly confined Mid-infrared to Terahertz Phonon Polaritons in Ultra-thin SrTiO3
Peiyi He, Jiade Li, Cong Li +7
Phonon polaritons (PhPs) enable subwavelength light control for infrared sensing, imaging, and optoelectronics, but conventional polar materials have narrow Reststrahlen bands, lim…
Atomic-scale mechanism of enhanced electron-phonon coupling at the interface of MgB thin film
Xiaowen Zhang, Tiequan Xu, Ruochen Shi +7
In this study, we explore the heterointerface of MgB film on SiC substrate at atomic scale using electron microscopy and spectroscopy. We detect ~1 nm MgO between MgB and S…
Atomic-scale observation of localized phonons at FeSe/SrTiO3 interface
Ruochen Sh, Qize Li, Xiaofeng Xu +11
In single unit-cell FeSe grown on SrTiO3, the superconductivity transition temperature features a significant enhancement. Local phonon modes at the interface associated with elect…
Atomically localized ingredient-dependent interface phonon in heterogeneous solids
Mei Wu, Ruochen Shi, Ruishi Qi +12
Phonons are the primary heat carriers in non-metallic solids. In compositionally heterogeneous materials, the thermal properties are believed to be mainly governed by the disrupted…
Single-dislocation phonons: atomic-scale measurement and their thermal properties
Yuehui Li, Bo Han, Xiaolong Yang +12
Nanoscale defects such as dislocations, have a significant impact on the phonon thermal transport properties in non-metallic materials. To unravel these effects, understanding of d…
Electron microscopy probing electron-photon interactions in SiC nanowires with ultra-wide energy and momentum match
Jinlong Du, Jin-hui Chen, Yuehui Li +4
Nanoscale materials usually can trap light and strongly interact with it leading to many photonic device applications. The light-matter interactions are commonly probed by optical…
Direct observation of local antiferroelectricity induced phonon softening at a SrTiO3 defect
Bo Han, Ruochen Shi, Huining Peng +7
Defects in oxides usually exhibit exotic properties that may be associated with the local lattice dynamics. Here, at atomic spatial resolution, we directly measure phonon modes of…
Measuring phonon dispersion at an interface
Ruishi Qi, Ruochen Shi, Yuanwei Sun +9
The breakdown of translational symmetry at heterointerfaces leads to the emergence of new phonon modes localized near the interface. These interface phonons play an essential role…
