Persistent photogenerated state attained by femtosecond laser irradiation of thin -MoTe

Meixin Cheng, Shazhou Zhong, Nicolás Rivas +9

Laser excitation has emerged as a means to expose hidden states of matter and promote phase transitions on demand. Such laser induced transformations are often rendered possible ow…

Photoinduced Interlayer Dynamics in T-MoTe: A Broadband Pump-Probe Study

Meixin Cheng, Shazhou Zhong, Nicolas Rivas +9

We report on time-resolved broadband transient reflectivity (tr-bb-TR) measurements performed on a bulk single crystal of T-MoTe as a function of the incident pump fluence…

A plastic feedthrough suitable for high-voltage DC femtosecond electron diffractometers

Patrick Gicala, Ariel A. Petruk, Nicolás Rivas +3

Highly energetic ultrashort electron bunches have the potential to reveal the ultrafast structural dynamics in relatively thicker in-liquid samples. However, direct current (DC) vo…

Numerical simulations of self-diffusiophoretic colloids at fluid interfaces

T. Peter, P. Malgaretti, N. Rivas +3

The dynamics of active colloids is very sensitive to the presence of boundaries and interfaces which therefore can be used to control their motion. Here we analyze the dynamics of…

Generation and detection of coherent longitudinal acoustic waves in ultrathin 1T'-MoTe2

Nicolas Rivas, Shazhou Zhong, Tina Dekker +9

Layered transition metal dichalcogenides have attracted substantial attention owing to their versatile functionalities and compatibility with current nanofabrication technologies.…

How antagonistic salts cause nematic ordering and behave like diblock copolymers

David Jung, Nicolas Rivas, Jens Harting

We present simulation results and an explanatory theory on how antagonistic salts affect the spinodal decomposition of binary fluid mixtures. We find that spinodal decomposition is…
