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…
Nanoscale electronic inhomogeneities in 1T-TaS
B. Campbell, J. V. Riffle, A. de la Torre +3
We report a set of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) experiments studying native defects in CVT grown 1T-TaS. Six different sample surfaces from four b…
Elucidating the Mechanism of Large Phosphate Molecule Intercalation Through Graphene Heterointerfaces
Jiayun Liang, Ke Ma, Xiao Zhao +19
Intercalation is a process of inserting chemical species into the heterointerfaces of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. While much research has focused on intercalating metal…
Imaging atomic vacancies in commercially available black phosphorus
J. V. Riffle, C. Flynn, B. St. Laurent +3
Black phosphorus (BP) is receiving significant attention because of its direct 0.4-1.5 eV layer-dependent band gap and high mobility. Because BP devices rely on exfoliation from bu…
Modification of electronic surface states by graphene islands on Cu(111)
S. M. Hollen, G. A. Gambrel, S. J. Tjung +3
We present a study of graphene/substrate interactions on UHV-grown graphene islands with minimal surface contamination using \emph{in situ} low-temperature scanning tunneling micro…
Disorder Influences the Quantum Critical Transport at a Superconductor to Insulator Transition
H. Q. Nguyen, S. M. Hollen, J. Shainline +2
We isolated flux disorder effects on the transport at the critical point of the quantum magnetic field tuned Superconductor to Insulator transition (BSIT). The experiments employed…
Cooper Pair Insulator phase induced in amorphous PbBi thin films
S. M. Hollen, J. Shainline, J. M. Xu +1
A Cooper pair insulator (CPI) phase emerges near the superconductor-insulator transitions of a number of strongly-disordered thin film systems. Much recent study has focused on a m…
