Acoustic properties of buried graphitized layers in diamond formed by ion implantation followed by annealing were studied using the picosecond ultrasonic technique with spatial resolution. Two methods of elastic pulse generation were used: heating an aluminum film deposited on a diamond sample by femtosecond laser pulses and direct illumination of the graphitized layers by these pulses. We applied a multilayered model of the acousto-optical response to fit experimental results and estimate the distribution of the acoustical parameters (wave resistance, viscoelastic damping, and longitudinal sound speed) of the structures under study in depth.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the mechanical properties of layered crystals with a focus on hBN/WSe/hBN heterostructures, using a specialized ultrasonic technique for detailed analysis.
  • A picosecond measurement method analyzes the temporal changes in reflection coefficients after laser pulse excitation, allowing for the detection of sound waves reflecting off various layers within the structure.
  • The findings highlight the low phonon dissipation in these materials below 150 GHz, indicating their promise for applications in nanotechnology and acoustics.

Search for doped superconducting topological insulators is of prime importance for new quantum technologies. We report on fabrication of Sr-doped Bi2Te3 single crystals. We found that Bridgman grown samples have -type conductivity in the low 1019 cm-3, high mobility of 4000 cm2V-1s-1, crystal structure independent on nominal dopant content, and no signs of superconductivity.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers are focusing on innovative techniques for creating pulsed electromagnetic microwave radiation, particularly using optical pumping methods.
  • A new method is proposed and tested that utilizes the radiation from charged submicron particles oscillating at their natural acoustic frequencies.
  • The study highlights how laser radiation can effectively enhance acoustic vibrations in these submicron particles through the Raman mechanism.

In this study, we grew Cu co-doped single crystals of a topological superconductor candidate Sr x Bi 2 Se 3 , and studied their structural and transport properties. We reveal that the addition of even as small an amount of Cu co-dopant as 0.6 atomic %, completely suppresses superconductivity in Sr x Bi 2 Se 3 .

Purpose: Raman scattering spectra can be thought of as the "fingerprints" of the investigated material. The purpose of this work was to link the absorbed doses of irradiated radiochromic film at the micrometer level with changes in their Raman spectra.

Methods: Raman spectra of irradiated GAFCHROMIC EBT3 film with doses ranging from 0 to 40 Gy were acquired.

We demonstrate a quantum nanophotonics platform based on germanium-vacancy (GeV) color centers in fiber-coupled diamond nanophotonic waveguides. We show that GeV optical transitions have a high quantum efficiency and are nearly lifetime broadened in such nanophotonic structures. These properties yield an efficient interface between waveguide photons and a single GeV center without the use of a cavity or slow-light waveguide.
