    • Compared to other body-centered cubic (bcc) transition metals, Nb has been the subject of fewer compression studies and there are still aspects of its phase diagram which are unclear. Here, we report a combined theoretical and experimental study of Nb under high pressure and temperature. We present the results of static laser-heated diamond anvil cell experiments up to 120 GPa using synchrotron-based fast x-ray diffraction combined with ab initio quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The melting curve of Nb is determined and evidence for a solid-solid phase transformation in Nb with increasing temperature is found. The high-temperature phase of Nb is orthorhombic Pnma. The bcc-Pnma transition is clearly seen in the experimental data on the Nb principal Hugoniot. The bcc-Pnma coexistence observed in our experiments is explained. Agreement between the measured and calculated melting curves is very good except at 40-60 GPa where three experimental points lie below the theoretical melting curve by 250 K (or 7%); a possible explanation is given. The study of materials under extreme conditions can reveal interesting physics in diverse areas such as condensed matter and geophysics. Here, the authors investigate experimentally and theoretically the high pressure-high temperature phase diagram of niobium revealing a previously unobserved phase transition from body-centered cubic to orthorhombic phase.

  • Rydberg excitons in Cu2O microcrystals grown on a silicon platform
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Communications Materials. - : Springer Nature. - 2662-4443. ; 1:1
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a semiconductor with large exciton binding energy and significant technological importance in applications such as photovoltaics and solar water splitting. It is also a superior material system for quantum optics that enabled the observation of intriguing phenomena, such as Rydberg excitons as solid-state analogue to highly-excited atomic states. Previous experiments related to excitonic properties focused on natural bulk crystals due to major difficulties in growing high-quality synthetic samples. Here, the growth of Cu2O microcrystals with excellent optical material quality and very low point defect levels is presented. A scalable thermal oxidation process is used that is ideally suited for integration on silicon, demonstrated by on-chip waveguide-coupled Cu2O microcrystals. Moreover, Rydberg excitons in site-controlled Cu2O microstructures are shown, relevant for applications in quantum photonics. This work paves the way for the wide-spread use of Cu2O in optoelectronics and for the development of novel device technologies. Cu2O is of great interest for its excitonic properties, yet challenges in its fabrication means that most experiments focus on naturally occurring samples. Here, scalable thermal oxidation is reported for the growth of Cu2O with low-defect content, allowing the observation of Rydberg excitons.
