Substrate-dependent thermally driven morphological evolution of PtNi thin films on sapphire and langasite
M. Awais Fiaz, M. Greenslit, R. J. Lad +3
We examine the thermal evolution of 100-nm-thick PtNi alloy films on sapphire and langasite substrates with a 10-nm Zr adhesion layer. Sequential vacuum annealing f…
Direct Evidence for Robust Bulk Band Gap Across the Charge Density Wave Transition in TiSe2
Turgut Yilmaz, Anil Rajapitamahuni, Muhammad Awais Fiaz +7
The mechanism driving the charge density wave (CDW) transition in TiSe2 has been debated for decades, with proposals ranging from an excitonic insulator to a lattice-driven instabi…
Emergent surface resonance from charge density wave symmetry breaking in TiSe2
Turgut Yilmaz, Yi Sheng Ng, Muhammad Awais Fiaz +13
Surface confined electronic states provide a fertile ground for discovering emergent phenomena that have no counterpart in the bulk, offering new routes to manipulate correlations,…
Dynamic phase transition into a mixed-CDW state in 1-TaS via a thermal quench
A. de la Torre, Q. Wang, Y. Masoumi +8
Ultrafast light-matter interaction has emerged as a new mechanism to exert control over the macroscopic properties of quantum materials toward novel functionality. To date, technol…
