Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of nonamphiphilic 2-(4-Biphenylyl)-5 phenyl-1,3,4- oxadiazole (abbreviated as PBD) mixed with stearic acid (SA) as well as also with the inert polymer matrix poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) have been studied. Surface pressure versus area per molecule (-A) isotherms studies suggest that PBD molecules very likely stand vertically on the air-water interface and this arrangement allows the PBD molecules to form stacks and remain sandwiched between SA/PMMA molecules. At lower surface pressure phase separation between PBD and matrix molecules occur resulting due to repulsive interaction. However at higher surface pressure PBD molecules form aggregates. The UV-Vis absorption and Steady state fluorescence spectroscopic studies of the mixed LB films of PBD reveal the nature of the aggregates. H-type aggregates predominates in the mixed LB films whereas I-type aggregates predominates in the PBD-PMMA spin coated films. The degree of deformation produced in the electronic levels are largely affected by the film thickness and the surface pressure of lifting.

Frenkel excitons, the primary photoexcitations in organic semiconductors that are unequivocally responsible for the optical properties of this materials class, are predicted to form emph{bound} exciton pairs, i.e., biexcitons. These are key intermedi
ates, ubiquitous in many relevant photophysical processes; for example, they determine the exciton bimolecular annihilation dynamics in such systems. Deciphering the details of biexciton correlations is, thus, of utmost importance to understand the optical processes in these semiconductors. To date, however, due to their spectral ambiguity, there has been only scant direct evidence of bound biexcitons, limiting the insights that can be gained. Moreover, a quantum-mechanical basis describing biexciton correlation/stability has so far been lacking. By employing nonlinear coherent spectroscopy, we identify here bound biexcitons in a model polymeric semiconductor. We find, unexpectedly, that excitons with emph{interchain} vibronic dispersion reveal emph{intrachain} biexciton correlations and vice versa. Moreover, using a Frenkel exciton model, we can relate the biexciton binding energy to molecular parameters quantified by quantum chemistry, including the magnitude and sign of the exciton-exciton interaction the inter-site hopping energies. Therefore, our work promises a window towards general insights into the many-body electronic structure in polymeric semiconductors and beyond; e.g., other excitonic systems such as organic semiconductor crystals, molecular aggregates, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes, or DNA.
Erythrosiderites with the formula A2FeX5H2O, where A = Rb, K, and (NH4) and X = Cl and Br are intriguing systems that possess various magnetic and electric phases, as well as multiferroic phases in which magnetism and ferroelectricity are coupled. In
this report, we study the magnetic phase diagram of erythrosiderites as a function of superexchange interactions. To this end, we perform classical Monte Carlo simulations on magnetic Hamiltonians that contain five different superexchange interactions with single-ion anisotropies. Our phase diagram contains all magnetic ground states that have been experimentally observed in these materials. We argue that the ground states can be explained by varying the ratio of J4/J2. For J4/J2 > 0.95 a cycloidal spins structure is stabilized as observed in (NH4)2FeCl5H2O and otherwise, a collinear spin structure is stabilized as observed in (K,Rb)2FeCl5H2O. We also show that the difference in the single-ion anisotropy along a- and c- axes is essential to stabilize the intermediate state observed in (NH)2FeCl5H2O.
In a recent work, new two-dimensional materials, the monolayer MoSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$ and WSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$, have been successfully synthesized in experiment, and several other monolayer materials with the similar structure, such as MoSi$_{2}$As$_{4}$, hav
e been predicted [{color{blue}Science 369, 670-674 (2020)}]. Here, based on first-principles calculations and theoretical analysis, we investigate the electronic and optical properties of monolayer MoSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$, WSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$ and MoSi$_{2}$As$_{4}$. We show that these materials are semiconductors, with a pair of Dirac-type valleys located at the corners of the hexagonal Brillouin zone. Due to the broken inversion symmetry and the effect of spin-orbit coupling, the valley fermions manifest spin-valley coupling, valley-contrasting Berry curvature, and valley-selective optical circular dichroism. We also construct the low-energy effective model for the valleys, calculate the spin Hall conductivity and the permittivity, and investigate the strain effect on the band structure. Our result reveals interesting valley physics in monolayer MoSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$, WSi$_{2}$N$_{4}$ and MoSi$_{2}$As$_{4}$, suggesting their great potential for valleytronics and spintronics applications.
Measurements of the anisotropic properties of single crystals play a crucial role in probing the physics of new materials. Determining a growth protocol that yields suitable high-quality single crystals can be particularly challenging for multi-compo
nent compounds. Here we present a case study of how we refined a procedure to grow single crystals of CaKFe$_{4}$As$_{4}$ from a high temperature, quaternary liquid solution rich in iron and arsenic (FeAs self-flux). Temperature dependent resistance and magnetization measurements are emphasized, in addition to the x-ray diffraction, to detect inter-grown CaKFe$_{4}$As$_{4}$, CaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ and KFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ within, what appear to be, single crystals. Guided by the rules of phase equilibria and these data, we adjusted growth parameters to suppress formation of the impurity phases. The resulting optimized procedure yielded phase-pure single crystals of CaKFe$_{4}$As$_{4}$. This optimization process offers insight into the growth of quaternary compounds and a glimpse of the four-component phase diagram in the pseudo-ternary FeAs-CaFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$-KFe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ system.
An early study of saturated 4He film flow instability is revisited in view of recent theoretical work by Hiromitsu Takeuchi et al. (arXiv:0909.2144v1 [cond-mat.quant-gas] Sept. 2009). I show additional data that suggests a qualitative agreement with this theory and discuss the experimental details.
