Ferroelectric 180 degree walls are mechanically softer than the domains they separate

Christina Stefani, Louis Ponet, Konstantin Shapovalov +7

Domain walls are functionally different from the domains they separate, but little is known about their mechanical properties. Using scanning probe microscopy, we have measured the…

Phonon-limited electron mobility in Si, GaAs and GaP with exact treatment of dynamical quadrupoles

Guillaume Brunin, Henrique Pereira Coutada Miranda, Matteo Giantomassi +6

We describe a new approach to compute the electron-phonon self-energy and carrier mobilities in semiconductors. Our implementation does not require a localized basis set to interpo…

Electron-Phonon Beyond Fröhlich: Dynamical Quadrupoles in Polar and Covalent Solids

Guillaume Brunin, Henrique Pereira Coutada Miranda, Matteo Giantomassi +6

We include the treatment of quadrupolar fields beyond the Fröhlich interaction in the first-principles electron-phonon vertex in semiconductors. Such quadrupolar fields induce long…

Electrostatic potential mapping at ferroelectric domain walls by low-temperature photoemission electron microscopy

J. Schaab, K. Shapovalov, P. Schoenherr +10

Low-temperature X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (X-PEEM) is used to measure the electric potential at domain walls in improper ferroelectric Er0.99Ca0.01MnO3. By combining…

Seeing moiré superlattices

L. J. McGilly, A. Kerelsky, N. R. Finney +17

Moiré superlattices in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures have given rise to a number of emergent electronic phenomena due to the interplay between atomic structure and electron…

Novel mechanisms to enhance the capacitance beyond the classical limits in capacitors with free-electron-like electrodes

Javier Junquera, Pablo García-Fernández, Massimiliano Stengel

The so-called negative electron compressibility refers to the lowering of the chemical potential of a metallic system when the carrier density increases. This effect has often been…
