This study investigates the functionalization of gold-coated magnetoelastic sensors with thionine molecules, focusing on resonance frequency shifts. The process was characterized by using Raman spectroscopy and analyzed via scanning electron microscopy atomic force microscopy, revealing progressive formation molecular clusters over time. Our results demonstrate that longer time leads to saturation surface coverage cluster formation, impacting sensor's Such modifications offer insights into...
MnBi2Te4 is one of the most recent materials that integrates class topological quantum exhibiting insulating properties and magnetic ordering, thus providing opportunity to investigate particular states design novel spintronic devices. The samples were grown on GaAs(100) substrates using molecular beam epitaxy with Bi2Te3, Te Mn as sources. growth was characterized through X-ray diffraction, atomic force microscopy transmission electron microscopy.

Our investigation reveals a groundbreaking discovery of negative inverse orbital Hall effect (IOHE) in Ge thin films. We employed the spin pumping technique where spin-orbital coupled current is injected into films using YIG/Pt(2)/Ge(tGe) and YIG/W(2)/Ge(tGe) heterostructures. Through comprehensive analysis, we observe significant reductions signals generated by coherent (rf-driven) incoherent (thermal-driven) techniques. These are attributed to presence remarkably strong IOHE Ge, showing...
Layered materials can usually grow without strain on top of distinct substrates if the only interaction between them is due to van der Waals forces. In such a scenario it would be expected that heterointerface made up weak bounds not affect overlayed material significantly for several large lattice-mismatched systems. Here we have studied first stages heteroepitaxial growth layered bismuth telluride topological insulator highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) by molecular beam epitaxy....

Layered materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to the diverse electronic properties arising from different structural variations. Here, we present angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements conducted on topological material Sb4Te3. This consists of a composite stacking two distinct materials: three-dimensional (3D) insulator Sb2Te3 and two--dimensional (2D) Sb2. Our combined with density functional theory reveal that behavior exhibited by Sb2 persists,...
The production of controlled doping in two-dimensional semiconductor materials is a challenging issue when introducing these systems into current and future technology. In some compounds, the coexistence distinct crystallographic phases for fixed composition introduces an additional degree complexity synthesis, chemical stability, potential applications. this work, we demonstrate that multiphase

The most relevant characteristic of a topological insulator material is the presence edge/surface states that are protected by bulk topology, and therefore, insensitive to nonmagnetic disorder. However, if such disorder induced magnetic atoms or subjected an external field, time-reversal symmetry expected break down, affecting robustness states.
