Whether in a smartphone or laptop, semiconductors form the basis of modern electronics and accompany us constantly in ...

New measurements in germanium reveal how excited electrons drive lattice vibrations that govern energy flow and heating in semiconductors.

Solid-phase sintering method was used to dope Nd and Sm ions at the Y sites of Y₂MgTiO₆ ceramics, forming a solid solution and significantly increasing the Q×f value. The analysis of chemical bonds ...

Scientists have revealed how lattice vibrations and spins talk to each other in a hybrid excitation known as an electromagnon. To achieve this, they used a unique combination of experiments on an ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have shown, for the first time with very high time and spatial resolution, that electrons in certain two-dimensional materials only follow the motion of the atomic nuclei ...

Nonlinear vibrations in lattice systems represent a fascinating departure from conventional harmonic behaviour, where the classical linear superposition principle is supplanted by complex dynamics ...
