In-situ NMR spin-lattice relaxation measurements were performed on several vapor deposited ices. The measurements, which span more than 6 orders of magnitude in relaxation times, show a complex spin-lattice relaxation pattern that is strongly dependent on the growth conditions of the sample. The relaxation patterns change from multi-timescale relaxation for samples grown at temperatures below the amorphous-crystalline transition temperature to single exponential recovery for samples grown above the transition temperature. The slow-relaxation contribution seen in cold-grown samples exhibits a temperature dependence, and becomes even slower after the sample is annealed at 200K. The fast-relaxation contribution seen in these samples, does not seem to change or disappear even when heating to temperatures where the sample is evaporated. The possibility that the fast relaxation component is linked to the microporous structures in amorphous ice samples is further examined using an environmental electron scanning microscope. The images reveal complex meso-scale microporous structures which maintain their morphology up to their desorption temperatures. These findings, support the possibility that water molecules at pore surfaces might be responsible for the fast-relaxation contribution. Furthermore, the results of this study indicate that the pore-collapse dynamics observed in the past in amorphous ices using other experimental techniques, might be effectively inhibited in samples which are grown by relatively fast vapor deposition.

The two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has attracted widespread attention for its extraordinary electrical, optical, spin and valley related properties. Here, we report on spin polarized tunneling through chemical vapor de
posited (CVD) multilayer MoS2 (~7 nm) at room temperature in a vertically fabricated spin-valve device. A tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) of 0.5 - 2 % has been observed, corresponding to spin polarization of 5 - 10 % in the measured temperature range of 300 - 75 K. First principles calculations for ideal junctions results in a tunnel magnetoresistance up to 8 %, and a spin polarization of 26 %. The detailed measurements at different temperatures and bias voltages, and density functional theory calculations provide information about spin transport mechanisms in vertical multilayer MoS2 spin-valve devices. These findings form a platform for exploring spin functionalities in 2D semiconductors and understanding the basic phenomenon that control their performance.
Transistor structures comprising graphene and sub-wavelength metal gratings hold a great promise for plasmon-enhanced terahertz detection. Despite considerable theoretical effort, little experimental evidence for terahertz plasmons in such structures
was found so far. Here, we report an experimental study of plasmons in graphene-insulator-grating structures using Fourier transform spectroscopy in 5-10 THz range. The plasmon resonance is clearly visible above the Drude absorption background even in chemical vapor deposited (CVD) graphene with low carrier mobility $sim 10^3$ cm$^2$/(V s). We argue that plasmon lifetime is weakly sensistive to scattering by grain boundaries and macoscopic defects which limits the mobility of CVD samples. Upon placing the grating in close proximity to graphene, the plasmon field becomes tightly bound below the metal stripes, while the resonant frequency is determined by the stripe width but not by grating period. Our results open the prospects of large-area commercially available graphene for resonant terahertz detectors.
Nanodiamond crystals containing single color centers have been grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The fluorescence from individual crystallites was directly correlated with crystallite size using a combined atomic force and scanning confocal f
luorescence microscope. Under the conditions employed, the optimal size for single optically active nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center incorporation was measured to be 60 to 70 nm. The findings highlight a strong dependence of NV incorporation on crystal size, particularly with crystals less than 50 nm in size.
Large-area two-dimensional (2D) materials for technical applications can now be produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Unfortunately, grain boundaries (GBs) are ubiquitously introduced as a result of the coalescence of grains with different cry
stallographic orientations. It is well known that the properties of materials largely depend on GB structures. Here, we carried out a systematic study on the GB structures in CVD-grown polycrystalline h-BN monolayer films by transmission electron microscope. Interestingly, most of these GBs are revealed to be formed via overlapping between neighboring grains, which are distinct from the covalently bonded GBs as commonly observed in other 2D materials. Further density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that the hydrogen plays an essential role in overlapping GB formation. This work provides an in-depth understanding of the microstructures and formation mechanisms of GBs in CVD-grown h-BN films, which should be informative in guiding the precisely controlled synthesis of large area single crystalline h-BN and other 2D materials.
Simple vacuum evaporation technique for deposition of dyes on various solid surfaces has been developed. The method is compatible with conventional solvent-free nanofabrication processing enabling fabrication of nanoscale optoelectronic devices. Thin
films of fluorescein were deposited on glass, fluorine-tin-oxide (FTO) coated glass with and without atomically layer deposited (ALD) nanocrystalline 20 nm thick anatase TiO2 coating. Surface topology, absorption and emission spectra of the films depends on their thickness and the material of supporting substrate. On a smooth glass surface the dye initially formes islands before merging into a uniform layer after 5 to 10 monolayers. On FTO covered glass the absorption spectra are similar to fluorescein solution in ethanol. Absorption spectra on ALD-TiO2 is red shifted compared to the film deposited on bare FTO. The corresponding emission spectra at {lambda} = 458 nm excitation show various thickness and substrate dependent features, while the emission of films deposited on TiO2 is quenched due to the effective electron transfer to the semiconductor conduction band.
