Strong interlayer coupling in van der Waals heterostructures built from single-layer chalcogenides

Hui Fang, Corsin Battaglia, Carlo Carraro +16

Semiconductor heterostructures are the fundamental platform for many important device applications such as lasers, light-emitting diodes, solar cells and high-electron-mobility tra…

MoS2 P-type Transistors and Diodes Enabled by High Workfunction MoOx Contacts

Steven Chuang, Corsin Battaglia, Angelica Azcatl +8

The development of low-resistance source/drain contacts to transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) is crucial for the realization of high-performance logic components. In particul…

Angular behavior of the absorption limit in thin film silicon solar cells

Ali Naqavi, Franz-Josef Haug, Karin Söderström +5

We investigate the angular behavior of the upper bound of absorption provided by the guided modes in thin film solar cells. We show that the 4n^2 limit can be potentially exceeded…

Light trapping in solar cells at the extreme coupling limit

Ali Naqavi, Franz-Josef Haug, Corsin Battaglia +2

We calculate the maximal absorption enhancement obtainable by guided mode excitation in a weakly absorbing dielectric slab over wide wavelength ranges. The slab mimics thin film si…

Scanning tunneling microscopy at multiple voltage biases of stable "ring-like" Ag clusters on Si(111)-(77)

Nicolas Mariotti, Clément Didiot, Eike F Schwier +5

Since more than twenty years it is known that deposition of Ag onto Si(111)-(7\times7) leads under certain conditions to the formation of so-called "ring-like" clusters, that are p…

Exciton condensation driving the periodic lattice distortion of 1T-TiSe2

C. Monney, C. Battaglia, H. Cercellier +2

We address the lattice instability of 1T-TiSe2 in the framework of the exciton condensate phase. We show that, at low temperature, condensed excitons influence the lattice through…
