We used XRF analysis to determine the elemental composition of the crystals. The Neumann–Kopp rule provided essential data for the end members lithium niobate (LN) and lithium tantalate (LT). The heats of fusion of the end members, given by DTA measurements, are 103 kJ/mol at 1531 K for LN and 289 kJ/mol at 1913 K for LT. These values were used as input parameters to generate the data. This data served as the basis for calculating a phase diagram for LN-LT solid solutions. Finally, based on the experimental data and a thermodynamic solution model, the Calphad Factsage module optimized the phase diagram. We also generated thermodynamic parameters for Gibbs’ excess energy of the solid solution. A plot of the segregation coefficient as a function of Ta concentration was derived from the phase diagram. author: - first_name: Umar full_name: Bashir, Umar last_name: Bashir - first_name: Detlef full_name: Klimm, Detlef last_name: Klimm - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Matthias full_name: Bickermann, Matthias last_name: Bickermann - first_name: Steffen full_name: Ganschow, Steffen last_name: Ganschow citation: ama: Bashir U, Klimm D, Rüsing M, Bickermann M, Ganschow S.

Especially for 2D materials, the atomic electric fields influence the optoelectronic properties. In this study, the atomic‐scale electric field and charge density distribution of WSe2 bi‐ and trilayers are revealed using an emerging microscopy technique, differential phase contrast (DPC) imaging in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). For pristine material, a higher positive charge density located at the selenium atomic columns compared to the tungsten atomic columns is obtained and tentatively explained by a coherent scattering effect. Furthermore, the change in the electric field distribution induced by a missing selenium atomic column is investigated. A characteristic electric field distribution in the vicinity of the defect with locally reduced magnitudes compared to the pristine lattice is observed. This effect is accompanied by a considerable inward relaxation of the surrounding lattice, which according to first principles DFT calculation is fully compatible with a missing column of Se atoms. This shows that DPC imaging, as an electric field sensitive technique, provides additional and remarkable information to the otherwise only structural analysis obtained with conventional STEM imaging. author: - first_name: Maja full_name: Groll, Maja last_name: Groll - first_name: Julius full_name: Bürger, Julius last_name: Bürger - first_name: Ioannis full_name: Caltzidis, Ioannis last_name: Caltzidis - first_name: Klaus D. full_name: Jöns, Klaus D. last_name: Jöns - first_name: Wolf Gero full_name: Schmidt, Wolf Gero last_name: Schmidt - first_name: Uwe full_name: Gerstmann, Uwe last_name: Gerstmann - first_name: Jörg K.

Solving standard problems of Gaussian and Poisson noise, the set of “Total Variation” (TV)-based regularizers proved to be efficient and versatile. In the last few years, the “Total Generalized Variation” (TGV) approach combined TV regularizers of different orders adaptively to better suit local regions in the image. This improved the technique significantly. The approach solved the staircase problem inherent of the first-order TV while keeping the beneficial edge preservation. The iterative minimization for the augmented Lagrangian of TGV problems requires four important parameters: two penalty parameters $${\rho }$$ ρ and $${\eta }$$ η and two regularization parameters $${\lambda _{0}}$$ λ 0 and $${\lambda _{1}}$$ λ 1 . The choice of penalty parameters decides on the convergence speed, and the regularization parameters decide on the impact of the respective regularizer and are determined by the noise level in the image. For scientific applications of such algorithms, an automated and thus objective method to determine these parameters is essential to receive unbiased results independent of the user. Obviously, both sets of parameters are to be well chosen to achieve optimal results, too. In this paper, a method is proposed to adaptively choose optimal $${\rho }$$ ρ and $${\eta }$$ η values for the iteration to converge faster, based on the primal and dual residuals arising from the optimality conditions of the augmented Lagrangian. Further, we show how to choose $${\lambda _{0}}$$ λ 0 and $${\lambda _{1}}$$ λ 1 based on the inherent noise in the image. author: - first_name: Christian full_name: Zietlow, Christian last_name: Zietlow - first_name: Jörg K.

However, BCARS encounters spectral distortion due to a setup-dependent non-resonant background (NRB). This study assesses BCARS reproducibility through a round robin experiment using two distinct BCARS setups and crystalline materials with varying structural complexity, including diamond, 6H-SiC, KDP, and KTP. The analysis compares setup-specific NRB correction procedures, detected and NRB-removed spectra, and mode assignment. We determine the influence of BCARS setup parameters like pump wavelength, pulse width, and detection geometry and provide a practical guide for optimizing BCARS setups for solid-state applications. article_number: '112' article_type: original author: - first_name: Franz full_name: Hempel, Franz last_name: Hempel - first_name: Federico full_name: Vernuccio, Federico last_name: Vernuccio - first_name: Lukas full_name: König, Lukas last_name: König - first_name: Robin full_name: Buschbeck, Robin last_name: Buschbeck - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Giulio full_name: Cerullo, Giulio last_name: Cerullo - first_name: Dario full_name: Polli, Dario last_name: Polli - first_name: Lukas M. full_name: Eng, Lukas M. last_name: Eng citation: ama: 'Hempel F, Vernuccio F, König L, et al.

Mixed crystals with arbitrary Nb–Ta ratios provide an additional degree of freedom to not only tune materials properties, such as the birefringence but also leverage the advantages of the singular compounds, for example, by combining the thermal stability of lithium tantalate with the larger nonlinear or piezoelectric constants of lithium niobate. Periodic poling allows to achieve phase-matching independent of waveguide geometry and is, therefore, one of the commonly used methods in integrated nonlinear optics. For mixed crystals, periodic poling has been challenging so far due to the lack of homogeneous, mono-domain crystals, which severely inhibit domain growth and nucleation. In this work, we investigate surface-near (<1μm depth) domain inversion on x-cut lithium niobate tantalate mixed crystals via electric field poling and lithographically structured electrodes. We find that naturally occurring head-to-head or tail-to-tail domain walls in the as-grown crystal inhibit domain inversion at a larger scale. However, periodic poling is possible if the gap size between the poling electrodes is of the same order of magnitude or smaller than the average size of naturally occurring domains. This work provides the basis for the nonlinear optical application of lithium niobate tantalate mixed crystals. author: - first_name: Laura full_name: Bollmers, Laura id: '61375' last_name: Bollmers - first_name: Tobias full_name: Babai-Hemati, Tobias last_name: Babai-Hemati - first_name: Boris full_name: Koppitz, Boris last_name: Koppitz - first_name: Christof full_name: Eigner, Christof id: '13244' last_name: Eigner orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5693-3083 - first_name: Laura full_name: Padberg, Laura id: '40300' last_name: Padberg - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Lukas M. full_name: Eng, Lukas M. last_name: Eng - first_name: Christine full_name: Silberhorn, Christine id: '26263' last_name: Silberhorn citation: ama: Bollmers L, Babai-Hemati T, Koppitz B, et al.

Chief among them, barium titanate (BaTiO3; BTO) sees widespread applications such as in electronics but equally is a ferroelectric model system for fundamental research, e.g., to study the interplay of such FE domains, the domain walls (DWs), and their macroscopic properties, owed to BTO’s multiple and experimentally accessible phase transitions. Here, we employ Second Harmonic Generation Microscopy (SHGM) to in situ investigate the cubic-to-tetragonal (at ∼126°C) and the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic (at ∼5°C) phase transition in single-crystalline BTO via three-dimensional (3D) DW mapping. We demonstrate that SHGM imaging provides the direct visualization of FE domain switching as well as the domain dynamics in 3D, shedding light on the interplay of the domain structure and phase transition. These results allow us to extract the different transition temperatures locally, to unveil the hysteresis behavior, and to determine the type of phase transition at play (first/second order) from the recorded SHGM data. The capabilities of SHGM in uncovering these crucial phenomena can easily be applied to other ferroelectrics to provide new possibilities for in situ engineering of advanced ferroic devices. article_number: '154102' article_type: original author: - first_name: Benjamin full_name: Kirbus, Benjamin last_name: Kirbus - first_name: Samuel D. full_name: Seddon, Samuel D. last_name: Seddon - first_name: Iuliia full_name: Kiseleva, Iuliia last_name: Kiseleva - first_name: Elke full_name: Beyreuther, Elke last_name: Beyreuther - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Lukas M. full_name: Eng, Lukas M. last_name: Eng citation: ama: Kirbus B, Seddon SD, Kiseleva I, Beyreuther E, Rüsing M, Eng LM.

One key aspect of homogeneous growth is the accurate knowledge of thermal conductivity through the crystal boule during the growth, which is central to control the crystal growth. Therefore, the temperature dependent thermal conductivity of pure LN, LT, and LNT solid solutions, as well as of selected doped LN and LT crystals (Mg, Zn) was investigated across the temperature range from 300 to 1300 K.

One key requirement hereto is their reproducible manufacturing by gaining preparative control over domain size and domain wall conductivity (DWC). To date, most works on DWC have focused on exploring the fundamental electrical properties of individual DWs within single-shot experiments, with an emphasis on quantifying the origins of DWC. Very few reports exist when it comes to comparing the DWC properties between two separate DWs, and literally nothing exists where issues of reproducibility in DWC devices have been addressed. To fill this gap while facing the challenge of finding guidelines for achieving predictable DWC performance, we report on a procedure that allows us to reproducibly prepare single hexagonal domains of a predefined diameter into uniaxial ferroelectric lithium niobate single crystals of 200 and 300 μm thickness, respectively. We show that the domain diameter can be controlled with an uncertainty of a few percent. As-grown DWs are then subjected to a standard procedure of current-limited high-voltage DWC enhancement, and they repetitively reach a DWC increase of six orders of magnitude. While all resulting DWs show significantly enhanced DWC values, their individual current–voltage (I–V) characteristics exhibit different shapes, which can be explained by variations in their 3D real structure reflecting local heterogeneities by defects, DW pinning, and surface-near DW inclination. article_type: original author: - first_name: Julius full_name: Ratzenberger, Julius last_name: Ratzenberger - first_name: Iuliia full_name: Kiseleva, Iuliia last_name: Kiseleva - first_name: Boris full_name: Koppitz, Boris last_name: Koppitz - first_name: Elke full_name: Beyreuther, Elke last_name: Beyreuther - first_name: Manuel full_name: Zahn, Manuel last_name: Zahn - first_name: Joshua full_name: Gössel, Joshua last_name: Gössel - first_name: Peter A. full_name: Hegarty, Peter A. last_name: Hegarty - first_name: Zeeshan H. full_name: Amber, Zeeshan H. last_name: Amber - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Lukas M. full_name: Eng, Lukas M. last_name: Eng citation: ama: Ratzenberger J, Kiseleva I, Koppitz B, et al.

Here, we use micro-Raman spectroscopy to understand the impact of IE on the vibrational modes related to the Rb/K lattice sites, TiO octahedra, and PO4 tetrahedra, which all form the basis of the RKTP crystal structure. We analyze the Raman spectra of three different RKTP samples: (1) a RKTP sample that shows a poled domain grating only, (2) a RKTP sample that has an Ec grating only, and (3) a RKTP sample that has both an Ec and a domain grating of the nominally same spacing. This allows us to determine the impact of IE on the vibrational modes of RKTP. We characterize the changes in the lower Raman peaks related to the alkali-metal ions, as well as observe lattice modifications induced by the incorporation of Rb+ that extend further into the crystal bulk than the expected IE depth. Moreover, the influence of IE on the domain walls is also manifested in their Raman peak shift. We discuss our results in terms of the deformation of the PO4and TiO groups.

Here, this aspect is explored in the weak itinerant ferromagnet LaCo2P2 by means of momentum‐resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and first‐principles calculations. The detailed ARPES patterns enable to unveil bulk and surface bands, spin splittings due to Rashba and exchange interactions, as well as the evolution of bands with temperature, which altogether creates a solid foundation for theoretical studies. The latter has allowed to establish the impact of electron‐boson interactions on the electronic structure, that are reflected in its strong renormalization driven by electron‐magnon interaction and the emergence of distinctive kinks of surface and bulk electron bands due to significant electron‐phonon coupling. Our results highlight the distinct impact of electron‐boson interactions on the electronic structure, particularly on the itinerant d states. Similar electronic states are observed in the isostructural iron pnictides, where electron‐boson interactions play a crucial role in the emergence of superconductivity. It is believed that further studies of material systems involving both magnetically active d‐ and f‐sublattices will reveal more advanced phenomena in the bulk and at distinct surfaces, driven by a combination of factors including Rashba and Kondo effects, exchange magnetism, and electron‐boson interactions. author: - first_name: D.

Optical-field control, as a noninvasive and flexible tool, has rarely been applied so far, but it significantly expands the possibility for both tuning and probing DWC. On the one hand, as known from second-harmonic or Raman micro-spectroscopy, the optical approach provides information on DW distribution and inclination, while simultaneously probing the DW vibrational modes; on the other hand, photons might be applied to directly generate charge carriers, thereby acting as a functional and spectrally tunable probe to deduce the local absorption properties and bandgaps of conductive DWs. Here, we report on investigating the photo-induced DWC (PI-DWC) of three lithium niobate crystals, containing a very different number of DWs, namely: (A) none, (B) one, and (C) many conductive DWs. All three samples are inspected for their current–voltage behavior in darkness and for different illumination wavelengths swept from 500 nm down to 310 nm. All samples show their maximum PI-DWC at 310 nm; moreover, sample (C) reaches PI-DWCs of several microampere. Interestingly, a noticeable PI-DWC is also observed for sub-bandgap illumination, hinting toward the existence and decisive role of electronic in-gap states that contribute to the electronic charge transport along DWs. Finally, complementary conductive atomic force microscopy investigations under illumination proved that the PI-DWC indeed is confined to the DW area and does not originate from photo-induced bulk conductivity.' article_type: original author: - first_name: L.

PFM makes use of the direct coupling of the piezoelectric response to the crystal lattice, and hence, it is most often applied to spatially map the three-dimensional (3D) near-surface domain distribution of any polar or ferroic sample. Nonetheless, since most samples investigated by PFM are at least semiconducting or fully insulating, the electric ac field emerging from the conductive scanning force microscopy (SFM) tip penetrates the sample and, hence, may also couple to polar features that are deeply buried into the bulk of the sample under investigation. Thus, in the work presented here, we experimentally and theoretically explore the contrast and depth resolution capabilities of PFM, by analyzing the dependence of several key parameters. These key parameters include the depth of the buried feature, i.e., here a domain wall (DW), as well as PFM-relevant technical parameters such as the tip radius, the PFM drive voltage and frequency, and the signal-to-noise ratio. The theoretical predictions are experimentally verified using x-cut periodically poled lithium niobate single crystals that are specially prepared into wedge-shaped samples, in order to allow the buried feature, here the DW, to be “positioned” at any depth into the bulk. This inspection essentially contributes to the fundamental understanding in PFM contrast analysis and to the reconstruction of 3D domain structures down to a 1 μm-penetration depth into the sample. article_type: original author: - first_name: Matthias full_name: Roeper, Matthias last_name: Roeper - first_name: Samuel D. full_name: Seddon, Samuel D. last_name: Seddon - first_name: Zeeshan H. full_name: Amber, Zeeshan H. last_name: Amber - first_name: Michael full_name: Rüsing, Michael id: '22501' last_name: Rüsing orcid: 0000-0003-4682-4577 - first_name: Lukas M. full_name: Eng, Lukas M. last_name: Eng citation: ama: Roeper M, Seddon SD, Amber ZH, Rüsing M, Eng LM.
