  • Ultrathin two-dimensional metallic vanadium dichalcogenides, particularly vanadium ditelluride (VTe), are gaining interest for their unique charge density wave properties and potential ferromagnetism.
  • Recently, researchers synthesized VTe using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (APCVD) with vanadium chloride on various substrates, achieving a thin film around 10 nm on hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN).
  • Temperature-dependent Raman spectroscopy revealed significant changes in Raman modes at approximately 413 K, highlighting a structural phase transition of VTe.

Two-Dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides have been the subject of extensive attention thanks to their unique properties and atomically thin structure. Because of its unprecedented room-temperature magnetic properties, iron-doped MoS (Fe:MoS) is considered the next-generation quantum and magnetic material. It is essential to understand Fe:MoS's thermal behavior since temperature and thermal load/activation are crucial for their magnetic properties and the current nano and quantum devices have been severely limited by thermal management.

MgZnO possesses a tunable bandgap and can be prepared at relatively low temperatures, making it suitable for developing optoelectronic devices. MgZnO (~0.1) films were grown on sapphire by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy under different substrate-growth temperatures of 350-650 °C and studied by multiple characterization technologies like X-ray diffraction (XRD), spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), Raman scattering, extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and first-principle calculations.

Layered lead halide perovskites are attractive materials for optoelectronic applications. In this work, temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) as well as pressure-dependent Raman and PL studies of lead bromide comprising small disc shape 1,2,4-triazolium cations (Tz) are reported. Temperature-dependent studies reveal that at room-temperature (RT) TzPbBr exhibits narrow emission at 2.

Radical lanthanide complexes are appealing platforms to investigate the possibility to engineer relevant magnetic couplings between the two magnetic centers by exploiting the strongly donating magnetic orbitals of the radical. In this paper, we report a spectroscopic and magnetic study on [LnRad(NO)], where Ln = Eu or Lu and Rad is the tridentate tripodal nitroxyl radical 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidine-3-oxyl. A thorough magnetic investigation by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and magnetometry, fully supported by calculations, allowed us to unravel an unprecedentedly large antiferromagnetic coupling between the Eu and the radical ( = +19.

Institut für Festkörperelektronik, Technische Universität Wien, Gußhausstraße 25, 1040 Vienna, Austria.

An instrument for the simultaneous characterization of thin films by Raman spectroscopy and electronic transport down to 3.7 K has been designed and built. This setup allows for the in situ preparation of air-sensitive samples, their spectroscopic characterization by Raman spectroscopy with different laser lines and five-probe electronic transport measurements using sample plates with prefabricated contacts.
