A new experimental frontier has recently emerged with the potential to significantly impact physics, chemistry, and materials science: the regime of ultrafast time resolution and ultrasmall spatial resolution. This is the domain in which single atoms, molecules, and electronic orbitals move. It also corresponds, on larger length scales, to the territory of low-energy elementary excitations...
Among the layered transition metal dichalcogenides, the compounds that exhibit in-plane anisotropy are of particular interest as they offer an additional tuning knob for their novel properties. In this talk we focus on studying the nanoscale lattice structure of semiconducting ReS2 by using an ultrahigh vacuum, room temperature scanning tunneling microscope. We demonstrate that...
Muon is an elementary particle with spin ½ , capable to measure the local magnetic field inside the matter either internal origin (magnetism) or externally applied (field exclusion due to the superconductivity). This characterizes the muon particle, or the measurement scheme known as muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (µSR) as the most sensitive probe of magnetism and...
