Phonon linewidth due to electron-phonon interactions with strong forward scattering in FeSe thin films on oxide substrates

Journal Article Wang, Yan ; Rademaker, Louk ; Dagotto, Elbio R. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, the discovery of an enhanced superconducting transition temperature T_c in monolayers of FeSe grown on several oxide substrates has opened a new route to high- T_c superconductivity through interface engineering. One proposal for the origin of the observed enhancement is an electronphonon (e-ph) interaction across the interface that peaked at small momentum transfers. In this paper, we examine the implications of such a coupling on the phononic properties of the system. We show that a strong forward scattering leads to a sizable broadening of phonon lineshape, which may result in charge instabilities at long-wavelengths. However, we further find thatmore »« less

Controlling domain orientation of liquid crystalline block copolymer in thin films through tuning mesogenic chemical structures

Journal Article Xie, He-Lou ; Li, Xiao ; Ren, Jiaxing ; ... - Journal of Polymer Science. Part B, Polymer Physics

Controlling the macroscopic orientation of nanoscale periodic structures of amphiphilic liquid crystalline block copolymers (LC BCPs) is important to a variety of technical applications (e.g., lithium conducting polymer electrolytes). To study LC BCP domain orientation, a series of LC BCPs containing a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) block as a conventional hydrophilic coil block and LC blocks containing azobenzene mesogens is designed and synthesized. LC ordering in thin films of the BCP leads to the formation of highly ordered, microphase-separated nanostructures, with hexagonally arranged PEO cylinders. Substitution on the tail of the azobenzene mesogen is shown to control the orientation of themore »« less

Exploiting Molecular Weight Distribution Shape to Tune Domain Spacing in Block Copolymer Thin Films

Journal Article Gentekos, Dillon T. ; Jia, Junteng ; Tirado, Erika S. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

We report a method for tuning the domain spacing ( D _sp) of self-assembled block copolymer thin films of poly(styrene-block-methyl methacrylate) (PS- b-PMMA) over a large range of lamellar periods. By modifying the molecular weight distribution (MWD) shape (including both the breadth and skew) of the PS block via temporal control of polymer chain initiation in anionic polymerization, we observe increases of up to 41% in D _sp for polymers with the same overall molecular weight ( M _n ≈ 125 kg mol ^–1) without significantly changing the overall morphology or chemical composition of the final material. In conjunction withmore »« less
