We present a muon spin rotation (μSR) study of the magnetic and superconducting properties of single crystals of electron-doped BaFe2−xCoxAs₂ with x = 0.08, 0.20 and 0.25 (Tc = 9, 25 and 20 K) and of polycrystalline hole-doped Pr1−xSrxFeAsO with x = 0 and 0.2 (Tc = 15...

Electronic devices that use the spin degree of freedom hold unique prospects for future technology. The performance of these 'spintronic' devices relies heavily on the efficient transfer of spin polarization across different layers and interfaces. This complex transfer process depends on individual material properties and also, most importantly, on the structural and electronic properties of the...

We investigated with synchrotron x-ray diffraction and reflectometry the formation of structural domains in the near-surface region of single crystalline SrTiO₃ (001) substrates with Y0.6Pr0.4Ba₂Cu₃O₇/La2/3Ca1/3MnO₃ superlattices grown on top. We find that the antiferrodistortive cubic to tetragonal transition, which occurs at...

We present far-infrared ellipsometric measurements of polycrystalline samples of the pnictide superconductor RFeAsO0.82F0.18 (R=Nd and Sm). We find evidence that the electronic properties are strongly anisotropic such that the optical spectra are dominated by the weakly conducting c-axis response similar to the cuprate high-temperature superconductors....

The charge dynamics in weakly hole doped high temperature superconductors is studied in terms of the accurate numerical solution to a model of a single hole interacting with a quantum lattice in an antiferromagnetic background, and accurate far-infrared ellipsometry measurements. The experimentally observed two electronic bands in the infrared spectrum can be identified in terms of the interplay...

Electronic phases with symmetry properties matching those of conventional liquid crystals have recently been discovered in transport experiments on semiconductor heterostructures and metal oxides at millikelvin temperatures. We report the spontaneous onset of a one-dimensional, incommensurate modulation of the spin system in the high-transition-temperature superconductor...

We have studied the temperature dependence of spectroscopic ellipsometry spectra of an electrically insulating, nearly stoichiometric YTiO₃ single crystal with ferromagnetic Curie temperature TC=30 K. The optical response exhibits a weak but noticeable anisotropy. Using a classical dispersion analysis, we identify three low-energy optical bands at 2.0, 2.9, and 3.7 eV....

The phonon spectra of YBa₂Cu₄O₈ polycrystalline samples with different isotope substitution for Ba, Cu, and O have been studied using far-infrared ellipsometry and Raman scattering. The observed isotope shifts of Raman- and infrared-active phonons provide insight into their relative Ba, Cu, and O normal mode content. This allows us to examine mode eigenvectors obtained from lattice...
