Direct Measurement of Exciton Dispersion in the Long-Wavelength Limit
Peiyi He, Jiade Li, Jiakai Wang +15
Exciton dispersion, which governs the propagation, scattering and radiative decay of electron-hole pairs, is essential to optoelectronics and quantum materials. In two-dimensional…
Three-Dimensional Atomic-Scale Structural Transformation in a SrTiO3 Grain Boundary
Xiaoyue Gao, Jiake Wei, Bo Han +9
Grain boundaries (GBs) in complex oxides play critical roles in governing their functional properties, which are intrinsically linked to their three-dimensional (3D) atomic configu…
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…
Precise structure and polarization determination of Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 with electron ptychography
Xiaoyue Gao1, Zhuohui Liu, Bo Han +8
Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 (HZO) is a promising candidate for next generation ferroelectric memories and transistors. However, its ferroelectricity origin is still under debate due to the comple…
