We deposited amorphous Bi films with a thickness between 3 and 6.5 nm at 4.2 K on top of previously deposited Co clusters having a mean size of ∼4.5 nm. The Co cluster layers thickness was between 2.3 and 5 nm. In-situ electrical transport measurements were performed between 2 and 100 K....

Positron annihilation spectroscopy was applied to investigate the nature and thermal behavior of defects induced by Cu diffusion in Zn-doped p-type GaAs crystals. Cu atoms were intentionally introduced in the GaAs lattice through thermally activated diffusion from a thin Cu capping layer at 1100...

Field-, temperature- and angle-dependent Fourier amplitude of de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) oscillations are calculated for compensated two-dimensional (2D) metals with textbook Fermi surface (FS) composed of one hole and two electron orbits connected by magnetic breakdown. It is demonstrated that,...

We investigate the dynamics of charge carriers hopping from one trap to the other trap along an n-type semiconductor layer consisting of a spatially nonhomogeneous trap distribution of depth Φ assisted by thermal noise. The trap profile is denser at the center and decays as one moves outward....

We present the exact solution, obtained by means of the Transfer Matrix (TM) method, of the 1D Hubbard model with nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) Coulomb interactions in the atomic limit (t = 0). The competition among the interactions (U, V <Subscript>1</Subscript>, and V <Subscript>2</Subscript>) generates a plethora...</subscript></subscript>

The charge storage behavior of nanostructures based on Si<Subscript>1−x </Subscript>Ge<Subscript> x </Subscript> (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) nanocrystals (NCs) in an Al<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> matrix was investigated. The structures have been grown by RF magnetron sputtering and subsequently annealed at temperatures ranging from 700 °C to 1000 °C for 30 min in nitrogen...</subscript></subscript></subscript></subscript>

We reveal that two-dimensional semiconductors with Rashba spin-orbit interaction (R2DG) exhibit exceptionally strong nonlinear optical response (NOR) in the terahertz frequency regime. The spin-split of the parabolic energy band in R2DG allows strong multiple-photon process to occur via...

We calculate real-space static correlation functions of spin and charge degrees of freedom of the one-dimensional Hubbard model that are described by operators related to singly occupied sites with spin up or spin down (spinons) and unoccupied or doubly occupied sites (η-spinons). The spatial...

Local properties of the XSiP<Subscript>2</Subscript> (X=Be, Mg, Cd, Zn and Hg) compounds are revisited through the partition of static thermodynamic properties under pressure. We pay attention to the metallization that occurs when the investigated compounds undergo a phase transition from chalcopyrite to the NaCl...</subscript>

We employ an elastic line model to investigate the steady-state properties and non-equilibrium relaxation kinetics of magnetic vortex lines in disordered type-II superconductors using Langevin molecular dynamics (LMD). We extract the dependence of the mean vortex line velocity and gyration...
