Exploring the Flatland: Strain Engineering of 2D Materials to Probe Exotic Physics
Using Raman and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy
Mounika Vutukuru, Prof. Anna K. Swan
Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Boston Univerisity
In my talk, I will discuss the strain-emergent phenomena arising from distorted lattices of 2D materials, strained by nanopillars indentation and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), observed through Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. From exciton and charge carrier funneling to dynamically tunable layer commensuration, we probe the novel physics in strained MoS2 and multilayer graphene. Funneling experiments show signatures of electron-hole plasma formation due to dramatic localization of charge carriers and excitons. I also discuss computational modeling of graphene integrated MEMS using machine learning, to optimize pseudomagnetic field formation for use in straintronics.

Pulsed laser deposition of functional oxides with atomic scale control
Pulsed laser deposition of functional oxides with atomic scale control
G. Franceschi,1 M. Schmid,1 U. Diebold, and M. Riva1
1 Institute of Applied Physics, TU Wien, Wiedner Hauptstrasse 8-10/E134, 1040, Vienna(Austria)
The pulsed laser deposition of complex-oxide films is extremely sensitive to the growth parameters: If these are not optimized, the films exhibit strong non-stoichiometries, rough morphologies, and unexpected physical properties. To pinpoint the origin of the non-idealities and optimize film growth, sensitive tools are needed. In this video, I show how surface science can be used to this end: Monitoring the evolution of the atomic-scale surface structure during growth reveals the effect of the deposition parameters, and can be used to predict the film’s evolution. The approach presented could be extended to a large variety of complex materials.

Real-Time Atomic Visualization of Surface Reactions: A New Approach of Studying Fundamental Surface Dynamics
Real-Time Atomic Visualization of Surface Reactions: A New Approach of Studying Fundamental Surface Dynamics
Tim Grabnic
The James Franck Institute and Department of Chemistry, University of Chicago, 929 East 57th Street, Chicago, IL 60637
Presented herein is a powerful new approach to studying fundamental surface dynamics that utilizes a unique combination of a supersonic molecular beam and in-line, in-situ scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The reactive dynamics of three systems is explored: O 2 reactive etching of highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), O 2 oxidation of GaAs(110), and the activated dissociative chemisorption of N 2 on Ru(0001). The atomically-resolved morphological evolution of each system is monitored during exposures to energy- and angle-selected gas molecules. The data obtained in these studies elucidates the spatiotemporal correlations that govern these important gas-surface interfaces.

In this research, we demonstrated novel graphene-induced polymer chain reorientation using, for the first time, polarization-modulated infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. Polymer movement was observed and correlated to both polymer composition and conformation in space. We then connected these data to large-scale graphene-polymer adhesion by transferring chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene from its native metal substrate to polymer films and determining successful graphene coverage using spatially resolved optical transmission. Taken together, these data imply that graphene-polymer adhesion can be fine-tuned by changing interfacial interactions. Such results pave the way toward flexible, conductive graphene-polymer composites with applications in energy storage, electronics, and biointerfaces.

In Bell’s model the rate constant for a reaction under an applied stress 𝜎 is given by, where 𝑘𝐵 is the Boltzmann constant, 𝑘0 is the reaction rate constant in the absence of stress, ∆𝑉‡ is known as the activation volume, and 𝑇 is the absolute temperature. While exponential increases in reaction rates with stress have been reported, there are currently no quantitative experimental measurements of . This is addressed in this work by using contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) to measure the kinetics of the mechanochemically induced C-S bond cleavage of methyl thiolate on Cu(100) in ultrahigh vacuum.

Monitoring the effects of mild hydrothermal conditions, in situ, on siliceous materials remains challenging using surface science techniques, which often require electrically conductive substrates. The emergence of two-dimensional (2-D) siliceous nanomaterials deposited on metal single crystals overcomes this limitation. Here, we use infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (IRRAS) to study the effects of mild hydrothermal conditions, in situ, on 2-D model systems, namely all-Si MFI nanosheets supported on Au(111) and a polymorphous bilayer silicate supported on Ru(0001). We find that the formation of silanol groups (SiOH) occurs at 473 and 573 K under a H2O pressure of 3 mbar in the MFI nanosheets, but not in the polymorphous bilayer silicate. The effects of mild hydrothermal conditions are reversible in the MFI nanosheets and do not result in framework degradation. Implications shown here provide a fundamental understanding of the impact of mild hydrothermal conditions on 2-D siliceous nanomaterials and serve as a starting point when considering these effects on 3-D ones.

Heterogeneous catalysis is used extensively in the production of fuels and chemicals, thereby, having a major impact on worldwide energy use and greenhouse gas production and stimulating interest in the development of more efficient catalytic processes. This work investigates model single crystal systems to understand the effects of complex surface dynamics on bimetallic catalyst reactivity. Fundamental principles that guide the formation and restructuring of bimetallic interfaces and the interfacial migration of intermediates is presented. The coupling of material evolution and reactive species migration with a dramatic impact on reactivity is demonstrated, which must be considered when examining bimetallic surfaces.

I present a novel correlated band insulator: FeVSb. Although the effects of correlations are well established for metallic systems, correlations in band insulators remain poorly understood. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements, we reveal a mass enhancement of 1.4 in epitaxial FeVSb films with respect to the density functional theory (DFT) band mass. Our ARPES measurements quantitatively agree with dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) calculations, suggesting that many body correlations are essential to understanding its electronic structure. Here, I also present a semi-absorption-controlled molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) growth window for FeVSb in which the Sb stoichiometry is self-limiting.

Spin Crossover Phenomenon and Insights in Future Molecular Spintronic Devices
Spin Crossover Phenomenon and Insights in Future Molecular Spintronic Devices
Guanhua (Tibbers) Hao, Peter A. Dowben
Our research sheds light on several fundamental aspects of the spin crossover system. The bistability & cooperative effects allow for implementation of the binary logic in devices. Nonvolatile voltage control of the spin state gives evidence for dipole interaction of the molecule at ferroelectric interface, this makes the fabrication of molecular spin transistor possible. Modification of the barrier energy via magnetic field supports the influence of cooperative effects, and could add further tuning components along the electric alteration. All of these results point to new types of molecular spintronic devices, with nano-meter length scale, sufficient fidelity and low energy consumption.

Ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) – tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) combines the spatial resolution of the scanning tunneling microscope with the chemical information available through optical-based vibrational spectroscopy, specifically Raman spectroscopy. Here, I describe some of my work in developing this tandem technique and new applications towards the study of highly localized chemical effects on surfaces. These efforts include studies of molecule-substrate and intermolecular interactions, as well as surface-bound reactions. Overall, UHV-STM-TERS was found to enable the direct visualization of fundamental properties and interactions that would otherwise remain hidden in ensemble-based spectroscopic studies.

Functional metallic nanoclusters or nanocrystals (NCs) with tailored non-equilibrium structure are not static nor frozen, but instead dynamic. This applies not just in working environments and in vacuum. In particular, NCs can suffer morphological changes back towards their equilibrium forms. Thus, functionality can degrade with time. My 10-minute presentation will focus on our results from applying our model and developing additional theory for reshaping of palladium nanocubes size ~20 nm. Theory is complimented and validated by TEM experiments and kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulations.

I present a model-independent approach, relying upon the exploitation of time-resolved optical and electronic spectroscopies, in the quest for the direct assessment of the electron-gas dynamics within impulsively-excited plasmonic gold nanoparticles.
The first experiment shows a conceptually general method for directly assessing the system temperature after lattice and electrons have thermalized.The second experiment represents a proof-of-concept of the possibility to directly measure the electronic temperature of nanosystems on the sub-picosecond time scale. More in general, this work will pave the way for direct and quantitatively accurate studies of the electronic properties of metallic nanosystems.

This research is focused on applying first principles computation to explore new atomic level phenomena due to nano confinement effects at the surfaces and interfaces. This line of research emerges thanks to the discovery of a novel two-dimensional silica thin film, which is physisorbed on the Ru (0001) surface, creating two nano-scale confined spaces at the heterojunction. The confinement effects give rise to an array of new physical and chemical phenomena, including noble gas trapping at noncryogenic temperatures and modification of chemical reaction pathway.

Nb3Sn is considered as a potential candidate for superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities for particle acceleration due to its higher critical temperature of 18.3 K and higher superheating field of 425 mT. In the present study, we have fabricated Nb 3 Sn films by multilayer sputtering.
First, we have deposited multiple layers of Nb and Sn films on Nb and sapphire substrates, then we annealed the multilayers at 950 °C for 3 h to synthesize Nb 3 Sn. We first determined the suitable annealing temperature and time, coating temperature and multilayer thickness for the fabrication. The films structure of the annealed film obtained from X-ray diffraction, the surface morphology of the films was observed by scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The superconducting properties of the films were measured in two ways- for the DC superconductivity of the films, four-point probe method was used to measure the surface resistance of the films down to cryogenic temperature, for the RF superconductivity (important to understand the film applicability in SRF cavities), the surface resistance of the film was calculated from the dissipated power induced by RF field at 7.4 GHz at the temperature range of 4-20 K. For both measurements, the film had a superconducting transition due to Nb 3 Sn film (transition temperature up to 17.93 K for DC measurement, and 17.2 K for RF measurement). Our experiment suggests that, multilayer sputtering technology can be applied to fabricate Nb3Sn inside a Nb cavity.

We explained the formation mechanism of mirror twin grain boundaries (MTB) on MoSe 2 and MoTe 2 MBE grown films and applied this knowledge for controlled modifications of 2D materials. We demonstrated by STM and DFT that excess Mo can easily diffuse into pristine MoSe 2 or MoTe 2 layer and cause crystal modifications into Mo-rich MTBs. DFT suggests that this mechanism for incorporation of transition metals is not limited to Mo. This enabled a second work on modification of materials properties by incorporation of V. V-interstitials caused induction of ferromagnetism in MoTe 2 by doping the material with less than 1% of concentration.

This video describes a diverse set of experiments that probe the interfacial dynamics of complex molecular thin films. Topics include the oxidative destruction of chemical warfare agents, sticking of small molecules on and in extraterrestrial ices, and oxidation of an important industrial alkene.
We demonstrate many of the factors that can influence reactivity in condensed phases. Product distributions and reaction barriers often differ due to many-body interactions in the film. Even when barriers are low, contact between reactive species may be significantly hindered by low adsorption probabilities, diffusion constraints, and film morphology.

Strongly Anisotropic Electronic and Optical Properties in Quasi-One-Dimensional TiS 3 and ZrS3
Strongly Anisotropic Electronic and Optical Properties in Quasi-One-Dimensional TiS 3 and ZrS3

TiS 3 and ZrS 3 have a quasi-1D structure which provides superior edge termination when compared to other 2D materials. This structure results in highly anisotropic electronic and optical properties which were examined here through nanospot angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy and polarization dependent scanning photocurrent microscopy. It is shown that these materials have a preferred charge transport direction which, when combined with their pristine edges, can eliminate edge scattering effects in nanoscale electronic devices. The photocurrent production in these materials is also extremely polarization dependent enabling the creation of polarization sensitive photodetectors for visible and near infrared light.

Chemical communication between neurons plays central roles in information processing in the brain, yet technologies for neurochemical recordings are limited, and for some neurotransmitters, nonexistent. In this talk, I talked about developing transformative biosensors towards in vivo neurotransmitter monitoring. We designed and fabricated implantable In2O3 field-effect transistor biosensor neurochemical probes. We performed ex vivo and in vivo experiments with implanted neural probes to monitor neurotransmitters, e.g., serotonin, in living, conscious animals. The technologies we are developing will advance our understanding of healthy brain function in relation to complex behavior, as well as corresponding dysfunction in psychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.
