High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…We found that the nominally pure ZnO was conductive at room temperature due to <em>n</em>-type intrinsic doping, and electrical losses inhibited any transmission through a SAW delay line above <em>T</em> = 200K. The one-port resonator measured down to milli-Kelvin temperatures showed excellent quality factors of up to <em>Q</em> &amp;sime; 1.5 × 10⁵ in its superconducting state.…”

Optical study of excitonic complexes in transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by Bao, Di

“…The encapsulation of WS2 monolayer with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) greatly reduces the PL linewidth and enables the observation of fine structures of the lower-energy features. By electrostatic doping to the hBN-encapsulated WS2 monolayer, we observe a Fermi edge singularity-like transition in the reflectance and PL spectra, reflecting distinct interactions between excitons and Fermi electrons under different electron densities. …”
