We derive a dielectric function tensor model approach to render the optical response of monoclinic and triclinic symmetry materials with multiple uncoupled infrared and farinfrared active modes. We apply our model approach to monoclinic $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ single crystal samples. Surfaces cut under different angles from a bulk crystal, (010) and ($bar{2}$01), are investigated by generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry within infrared and farinfrared spectral regions. We determine the frequency dependence of 4 independent $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ Cartesian dielectric function tensor elements by matching large sets of experimental data using a point by point data inversion approach. From matching our monoclinic model to the obtained 4 dielectric function tensor components, we determine all infared and farinfrared active transverse optic phonon modes with $A_u$ and $B_u$ symmetry, and their eigenvectors within the monoclinic lattice. We find excellent agreement between our model results and results of density functional theory calculations. We derive and discuss the frequencies of longitudinal optical phonons in $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$. We derive and report density and anisotropic mobility parameters of the free charge carriers within the tin doped crystals. We discuss the occurrence of longitudinal phonon plasmon coupled modes in $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ and provide their frequencies and eigenvectors. We also discuss and present monoclinic dielectric constants for static electric fields and frequencies above the reststrahlen range, and we provide a generalization of the Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation for monoclinic lattices with infrared and farinfrared active modes. We find that the generalized Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation is fulfilled excellently for $beta$-Ga$_2$O$_3$.

Cathodoluminescence spectra were measured to determine the characteristics of luminescence bands and carrier dynamics in beta-Ga2O3 bulk single crystals. The CL emission was found to be dominated by a broad UV emission peaked at 3.40 eV, which exhibi ts strong quenching with increasing temperature; however, its spectral shape and energy position remain virtually unchanged. We observed a super-linear increase of CL intensity with excitation density; this kinetics of carrier recombination can be explained in terms of carrier trapping and charge transfer at Fe impurity centres. The temperature-dependent properties of this UV band are consistent with weakly bound electrons in self-trapped excitons with an activation energy of 48 +/- 10 meV. In addition to the self-trapped exciton emission, a blue luminescence (BL) band is shown to be related to a donor-like defect, which increases significantly in concentration after hydrogen plasma annealing. The point defect responsible for the BL, likely an oxygen vacancy, is strongly coupled to the lattice exhibiting a Huang-Rhys factor of ~ 7.3.

Ultrafast time-resolved differential reflectivity of Bi2Se3 crystals is studied using optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Three distinct relaxation processes are found to contribute to the initial transient reflectivity changes. The deduced relaxation t imescale and the sign of the reflectivity change suggest that electron-phonon interactions and defect-induced charge trapping are the underlying mechanisms for the three processes. After the crystal is exposed to air, the relative strength of these processes is altered and becomes strongly dependent on the excitation photon energy.
In recent years, beta gallium oxide (beta-ce{Ga2O3}) has become the most investigated isomorph of gallium oxide polymorphs, due to the great potential it represents for applications in optoelectronics and photonics for solar technology, particularly in blind ultraviolet photodetector solar cells (SBUV) designs. To optimize its use in these applications, and to identify possible new features, knowledge of its fundamental properties is relevant. In this respect, optical, thermal and electronic properties of beta-ce{Ga2O3} have been studied expriementally, providing evidence of a wide-band inorganic and transparent semiconductor with a Kerr nonlinearity. Thermo-optical properties of the material, probed in SBUV sensing experiments, have highlighted a sizable heat diffusion characterized by a temperature gradient along the path of optical beams, quadratic in beam position and promoting a refractive-index change with temperature. The experimentally observed Kerr nonlinearity together with the thermally induced birefringence, point unambiguously to a possible formation of soliton molecules during propagation of high-intensity fields in beta-ce{Ga2O3}. To put this conjecture on a firm ground we propose a theoretical analysis, based on the cubic nonlinear Schroedinger equation in 1+1 spatial dimension, in which thermal lensing creates an effective potential quadratic in the coordinate of beam position. Using the non-isospectral inverse-scattering transform method, the exact one-soliton solution to the propagation equation is obtained. This solution features a bound state of entangled pulses forming a soliton molecule, in which pulses are more or less entangled depending on characteristic parameters of the system.

The anisotropic paramagnetism and specific heat in Nd2Ti2O7 single crystals are investigated. Angular dependence of the magnetization and Weiss temperatures show the dominant role of the crystal field effect in the magnetization. By incorporating the results from the diluted samples, contributions to Weiss temperature from exchange interactions and crystal field interactions are isolated. The exchange interactions are found to be ferromagnetic, while the crystal field contributes a large negative part to the Weiss temperature, along all three crystallographic directions. The specific heat under magnetic field reveals a two-level Schottky ground state scheme, due to the Zeeman splitting of the ground state doublet, and the g-factors are thus determined. These observations provide solid foundations for further investigations of Nd2Ti2O7.
NaOH-reacted graphite oxide film was prepared by decomposing epoxy groups in graphite oxide into hydroxyl and -ONa groups with NaOH solution. Ultrafast carrier dynamics of the sample were studied by time-resolved transient differential reflection (De ltaR/R). The data show two exponential relaxation processes. The slow relaxation process (sim2ps) is ascribed to low energy acoustic phonon mediated scattering. The electron-phonon coupling and first-principles calculation results demonstrate that - OH and -ONa groups in the sample are strongly coupled. Thus, we attribute the fast relaxation process (sim0.17ps) to the coupling of hydroxyl and -ONa groups in the sample.
