How Circular Dichroism in Time and Angle-Resolved Photoemission Can Be Used to Spectroscopically Detect Transient Topological States in Graphene
(American Physical Society, 2020-10-19)Pumping graphene with circularly polarized light is the archetype of light-tailoring topological bands. Realizing the induced Floquet-Chern-insulator state and demonstrating clear experimental evidence for its topological ... -
How Confinement Affects the Nucleation, Crystallization, and Dielectric Relaxation of Poly(butylene succinate) and Poly(butylene adipate) Infiltrated within Nanoporous Alumina Templates
(ACS Publications, 2019-10-17)This work describes the successful melt infiltration of poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and poly(butylene adipate) (PBA) within 70 nm diameter anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The infiltrated samples were characterized ... -
How cyclic chain topology can reduce the crystallization rate of Poly(3- hexylthiophene) and promote the formation of liquid crystalline phases in comparison with linear analogue chains
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-06-14)We have studied how cyclic topology affects the crystallization and morphology of π-conjugated poly(3- hexylthiophene) (P3HT) molecules by comparing linear and cyclic analogues for the first time, with three different ... -
