We report a negative resistance, namely, a voltage drop along the opposite direction of a current flow, in the superconducting gap of NbSe$_2$ thin films under the irradiation of surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The amplitude of the negative resistance becomes larger by increasing the SAW power and decreasing temperature. As one possible scenario, we propose that soliton-antisoliton pairs in the charge density wave of NbSe$_2$ modulated by the SAW serve as a time-dependent capacitance in the superconducting state, leading to the dc negative resistance. The present experimental result would provide a previously unexplored way to examine nonequilibrium manipulation of the superconductivity.

We present a theoretical framework allowing to properly address the nature of surface-like eigenmodes in a hypersonic surface phononic crystal, a composite structure made of periodic metal stripes of nanometer size and periodicity of 1 micron, deposi
ted over a semi-infinite silicon substrate. In surface-based phononic crystals there is no distinction between the eigenmodes of the periodically nanostructured overlayer and the surface acoustic modes of the semi-infinite substrate, the solution of the elastic equation being a pseudo-surface acoustic wave partially localized on the nanostructures and radiating energy into the bulk. This problem is particularly severe in the hypersonic frequency range, where semi-infinite substrates surface acoustic modes strongly couple to the periodic overlayer, thus preventing any perturbative approach. We solve the problem introducing a surface-likeness coefficient as a tool allowing to find pseudo-surface acoustic waves and to calculate their line shapes. Having accessed the pseudo-surface modes of the composite structure, the same theoretical frame allows reporting on the gap opening in the now well-defined pseudo-SAW frequency spectrum. We show how the filling fraction, mass loading and geometric factors affect both the frequency gap, and how the mechanical energy is scattered out of the surface waveguiding modes.
Voltage induced magnetization dynamics of magnetic thin films is a valuable tool to study anisotropic fields, exchange couplings, magnetization damping and spin pumping mechanism. A particularly well established technique is the ferromagnetic resonan
ce (FMR) generated by the coupling of microwave photons and magnetization eigenmodes in the GHz range. Here we review the basic concepts of the so-called acoustic ferromagnetic resonance technique (a-FMR) induced by the coupling of surface acoustic waves (SAW) and magnetization of thin films. Interestingly, additional to the benefits of the microwave excited FMR technique, the coupling between SAW and magnetization also offers fertile ground to study magnon-phonon and spin rotation couplings. We describe the in-plane magnetic field angle dependence of the a-FMR by measuring the absorption / transmission of SAW and the attenuation of SAW in the presence of rotational motion of the lattice, and show the consequent generation of spin current by acoustic spin pumping.
Neutral and charged excitons (trions) in atomically-thin materials offer important capabilities for photonics, from ultrafast photodetectors to highly-efficient light-emitting diodes and lasers. Recent studies of van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures
comprised of dissimilar monolayer materials have uncovered a wealth of optical phenomena that are predominantly governed by interlayer interactions. Here, we examine the optical properties in NbSe$_2$ - MoSe$_2$ vdW heterostructures, which provide an important model system to study metal-semiconductor interfaces, a common element in optoelectronics. Through low-temperature photoluminescence (PL) microscopy we discover a sharp emission feature, L1, that is localized at the NbSe$_2$-capped regions of MoSe$_2$. L1 is observed at energies below the commonly-studied MoSe$_2$ excitons and trions, and exhibits temperature- and power-dependent PL consistent with exciton localization in a confining potential. Remarkably, L1 is very robust not just in different samples, but also under a variety of fabrication processes. Using first-principles calculations we reveal that the confinement potential required for exciton localization naturally arises from the in-plane band bending due to the changes in the electron affinity between pristine MoSe$_2$ and NbSe$_2$ - MoSe$_2$ heterostructure. We discuss the implications of our studies for atomically-thin optoelectronics devices with atomically-sharp interfaces and tunable electronic structures.
We investigate the modulation of optical phonons in semiconductor crystal by surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagating on the crystal surface. The SAW fields induce changes on the order of 10textsuperscript{-3} in the average Raman scattering intensity
by optical phonons in Si and GaN crystals. The SAW-induced modifications in the Raman cross-section are dominated by the modulation of the optical phonon energy by the SAW strain field. In addition to this local contribution, the experiments give evidence for a weaker and non-local contribution arising from the spatial variation of the SAW strain field. The latter is attributed to the activation of optical modes with large wave vectors and, therefore, lower energies. The experimental results, which are well described by theoretical models for the two contributions, prove that optical phonons can be manipulated by SAWs with $mu$m wavelengths
Nonlinear electrical properties, such as negative differential resistance (NDR), are essential in numerous electrical circuits, including memristors. Several physical origins have been proposed to lead to the NDR phenomena in semiconductor devices in
the last more than half a century. Here, we report NDR behavior formation in randomly oriented graphene-like nanostructures up to 37 K and high on-current density up to 10^5 A/cm^2. Our modeling of the current-voltage characteristics, including the self-heating effects, suggests that strong temperature dependence of the low-bias resistance is responsible for the nonlinear electrical behavior. Our findings open opportunities for the practical realization of the on-demand NDR behavior in nanostructures of 2D and 3D material-based devices via heat management in the conducting films and the underlying substrates.
