The two-dimensional (2D)-phenylethyl ammonium lead iodide (2D-PEPI) is an exemplary hybrid organic-inorganic halide perovskite, possessing large spin-orbit coupling and forming multiple quantum wells (MQW). We have used helicity-dependent steady state

Electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy measures paramagnetic free radicals, or electron spins, in a variety of biological, chemical, and physical systems. Detection of diverse paramagnetic species is important in applications ranging from quantum
Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is a practical tool to determine the dimensions of nanometer-scale features. Conventional width measurements use arbitrary criteria, e.g., a 50 % threshold crossing, to assign feature boundaries in the measured SEM
Here, we present a method for measuring dimensions of nanostructures using specular reflection of electrons from an opaque surface. Development of this method has been motivated by measurement needs of the semiconductor industry, but it can also be more

First principles calculations show that electric fields applied to ferromagnets generate spin currents flowing perpendicularly to the electric field. Reduced symmetry in these ferromagnets enables a wide variety of such spin currents. However, the total

Over the past three decades, the use of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) in research and applications has grown to make XPS the most popular method of surface analysis. There has also been an increase in the number of new or inexperienced users along
We analyzed the experiments of Rubio-Zuazo and Castro [J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. 184 (2011) 384] who reported measurements of effective attenuation lengths (EALs) of gold for electron energies between 1 keV and 15 keV. They deposited thin films
We describe a real-time data processing and frequency control method to track peaks in optically detected magnetic resonance of nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond. This procedure allows us to measure magnetic field continuously with sensitivity ≈ 6 µT/Hz1

We report multi-level MoTe2-based resistive random-access memory (RRAM) devices with switching speeds of less than 5 ns due to an electric-field induced 2H to 2Hd phase transition. Different from conventional RRAM devices based on ionic migration, the
A recent paper in this journal [B. V. Crist, J. Electron Spectrosc. Relat. Phenom. (in press)] describes calibration problems with core-electron binding energies measured by X-ray photoelectron spectrometers. The present article corrects and extends
Simulations are increasingly employing explicit reservoirs internal, finite regions to drive electronic or particle transport. This naturally occurs in simulations of transport via ultracold atomic gases. Whether the simulation is numerical or physical
