Abstract:
Superlattices are a distinctive class of artificial nanostructures formed by the periodic stacking of two or more materials. The high density of interfaces in these structures often gives rise to exotic physical properties. In the context of thermal transport, it is well established that such interfaces can significantly scatter particle-like phonons while also inducing constructive or destructive interference in wave-like phonons, depending on the relationship between the phonons’ coherence lengths and the superlattice’s period thickness. In this work, we systematically investigate the effect

Abstract:
The physical properties of superlattices have been the subject of considerable interest because a wide range of phenomena associated with very thin films, interfaces, and coupling effects can be studied. Recent areas of activity in metallic superlattices include antiferromagnetic coupling of ferromagnetic layers across nonmagnetic spacer layers, giant magnetoresistance, magnetic surface anisotropy, low-dimensional superconductivity, and anomalous mechanical properties. All of these phenomena are strongly affected by the chemical and physical properties of the individual layers and by the super

Abstract We study the lattice thermal conductivity of isotope diamond superlattices consisting of 12C and 13C diamond layers at various superlattice periods. It is found that the thermal conductivity of a superlattice is significantly deduced from that of pure diamond because of the reduction of the phonon group velocity near the folded Brillouin zone. The results show that asymmetric superlattices with a different number of layers of 12C and 13C diamonds exhibit higher thermal conductivity than symmetric superlattices even with the same superlattice period, and we find that this can be explai

Silver nanocrystals passivated by dodecanethiol self-assembled monolayers were produced using an aerosol technique described in detail elsewhere [1]. Self-assembling passivated nanocrystal-superlattices (NCS's) involve self-organization into monolayers, thin films, and superlattices of size-selected nanoclusters encapsulated in a protective compact coating [2,3,4,5,6,7]. We report the preparation and structure characterization of three-dimensional (3-D) hexagonal close-packed Ag nanocrystal supercrystals from Ag nanocrystals of ˜4.5 nm in diameters.

In multi-layer structures impurity scattering is effectively reduced by the modulation doping in order to achieve high charge carrier mobility and, as a consequence, better device performance. In this paper, the thermoelectric properties of superlattices when electrons are scattered by strongly screened ionized impurities are discussed. In low-temperature and strong screening circumstances, dependence of the thermopower, power factor, and figure of merit on the superlattice period, miniband width, and screening radius is found.

Abstract:
Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) are of considerable interest in the area of heterostructures and superlattices because the lattice parameter, energy gap, and effective mass can be “tuned” in a controlled fashion by varying the composition. This tunability has been exploited in the fabrication of DMS superlattices. Since the superlattices can be grown with a wide range of choices of materials, there is a great variety of possible applications requiring magneto-optical properties. However, the lattice mismatch between the constituent layers in the superlattice and between the superlattice

We performed the first principle calculation to investigate the polarization behavior of BaTiO3(BTO)/PbTiO3(PTO) superlattices with a period-5 superlattice model. The results show that when BTO proportion increases, values of c/a increase and polarizations decrease. In BPT superlattices, polarization in each local layer keeps a constant value, indicating that short-period BPT superlattices can be approximately considered as a single ferroelectric material. Moreover, from analysis of the electrostatic model, we know the directions of internal electric fields in BTO and PTO layers are opposite.

These characteristics lead to higher conductance in ordered superlattices compared to disordered ones. Surprisingly, disordered dimer superlattices, which consist of two types of quantum wells with one type always appearing in pairs, exhibit extended states. The percentage of dissimilar wells does not need to be large to have extended states. Furthermo
