Angle-Resolved Cryogenic Brillouin-Mandelstam Spectroscopy of Surface and Bulk Acoustic Phonons in Diamond

Jordan Teeter, Dylan Wright, Nidhish Thiruthukkal Puthenveettil +2

We used angle-resolved Brillouin-Mandelstam light-scattering spectroscopy to monitor surface and bulk acoustic phonons in diamond along the <100> and <110> crystallographic directi…

Phonon Signatures of Near-Room-Temperature Phase Transition in Quasi-One-Dimensional Bi4I4 Topological van der Waals Material

Nidhish Thiruthukkal Puthenveettil, Topojit Debnath, Clayton Mantz +7

The quasi-one-dimensional material Bi4I4 hosts two crystallographically similar polymorphs that realize distinct topological insulating phases separated by a first-order structural…

Quantum Spin Singlet Ground State with Large Excitation Gap in the S = 3/2 quasi-1D van der Waals materials MoX3 (X = I, Br)

Jordan Teeter, Topojit Debnath, Harshil Goyal +18

We report the first experimental evidence for a quantum-disordered spin-singlet ground state and gapped triplon excitations in quasi-one-dimensional van der Waals materials. The in…

Acoustic and Optical Phonon Frequencies and Acoustic Phonon Velocities in Silicon-Doped Aluminum Nitride Thin Films

Dylan Wright, Dinusha Herath Mudiyanselage, Erick Guzman +6

We report the results of the study of the acoustic and optical phonons in Si-doped AlN thin films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire substrates. The Brillo…
