Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of low-energy recoil events in ThO $_{2}$ , CeO $_{2}$ , and ZrO $_{2}$

Journal Article Xiao, H. Y. ; Zhang, Y. ; Weber, W. J. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations of low-energy recoil events in ThO 2 , CeO 2 , and ZrO 2 have been carried out to determine the threshold displacement energies, resulting defect configurations, dynamics of defect generation, and role of charge transfer during the process. The results reveal that, in most cases, these fluorite structure oxides exhibit a similar response to low-energy recoils. A variety of different defect configurations are created, consisting mainly of vacancies and interstitials. Charge transfer occurs during the dynamic displacement process. Local charge redistribution leads to cation and O vacancies being negatively and positively charged, respectively. Likewise,more »« less

Inter-Landau-level Andreev Reflection at the Dirac Point in a Graphene Quantum Hall State Coupled to a ${NbSe}_{2}$ Superconductor

Journal Article Sahu, Manas Ranjan ; Liu, Xin ; Paul, Arup Kumar ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Superconductivity and quantum Hall effect are distinct states of matter occurring in apparently incompatible physical conditions. Recent theoretical developments suggest that the coupling of quantum Hall effect with a superconductor can provide a fertile ground for realizing exotic topologi- cal excitations such as non-abelian Majorana fermions or Fibonacci particles. As a step toward that goal, we report observation of Andreev reflection at the junction of a quantum Hall edge state in a single layer graphene and a quasi-two dimensional niobium diselenide (NbSe₂) superconductor. Our principal finding is the observation of an anomalous finite-temperature conductance peak located precisely at the Diracmore »« less

Electron-Phonon Coupling from Ab Initio Linear-Response Theory within the $G W$ Method: Correlation-Enhanced Interactions and Superconductivity in ${Ba}_{1 - x} K_{x} {BiO}_{3}$

Journal Article Li, Zhenglu ; Antonius, Gabriel ; Wu, Meng ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We present a new first-principles linear-response theory of changes due to perturbations in the quasiparticle self-energy operator within the GW method. This approach, named GW perturbation theory (GW PT), is applied to calculate the electron-phonon (e-ph) interactions with the full inclusion of the GW nonlocal, energy-dependent self-energy effects, going beyond density-functional perturbation theory. Avoiding limitations of the frozen-phonon technique, GW PT gives access to e-ph matrix elements at the GW level for all phonons and scattering processes, and the computational cost scales linearly with the number of phonon modes (wave vectors and branches) investigated. We demonstrate the capabilities of GWmore »« less

Point contact Andreev spectroscopy of epitaxial Co{sub 2}FeSi Heusler alloys on GaAs (001)

Journal Article Lehmann, Hauke ; Merkt, Ulrich ; Meier, Guido ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

The predicted half-metallicity of Co{sub 2}FeSi in combination with its high Curie temperature of above 980 K makes this Heusler alloy interesting for spinelectronics. Thin Co{sub 2}FeSi films are grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on GaAs (001) with a close lattice match. We present a study of point-contact measurements on different films, varying in thickness between 18 nm and 48 nm and in substrate temperature during deposition between 100 deg. C and 300 deg. C. Transport spin polarizations at the Fermi level are determined from differential conductance curves obtained by point-contact Andreev-reflection spectroscopy. A maximum transport spin polarization of about 60%more »« less
