Epitaxial growth and surface reconstruction of CrSb(0001)
Smooth CrSb(0001) films have been grown by molecular beam epitaxy on MnSb(0001) – GaAs(111) substrates. CrSb(0001) shows (2 × 2), triple domain (1 × 4) and (√3×√3)R30° reconstructed surfaces as well as a (1 × 1) phase. The dependence of reconstruction on substrate temperature and incident fluxes is very similar to MnSb(0001)
Scalable Dense Monocular Surface Reconstruction
This paper reports on a novel template-free monocular non-rigid surface
reconstruction approach. Existing techniques using motion and deformation cues
rely on multiple prior assumptions, are often computationally expensive and do
not perform equally well across the variety of data sets. In contrast, the
proposed Scalable Monocular Surface Reconstruction (SMSR) combines strengths of
several algorithms, i.e., it is scalable with the number of points, can handle
sparse and dense settings as well as different types of motions and
deformations. We estimate camera pose by singular value thresholding and
proximal gradient. Our formulation adopts alternating direction method of
multipliers which converges in linear time for large point track matrices. In
the proposed SMSR, trajectory space constraints are integrated by smoothing of
the measurement matrix. In the extensive experiments, SMSR is demonstrated to
consistently achieve state-of-the-art accuracy on a wide variety of data sets.Comment: International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV), Qingdao, China, October

Extent of Fermi-surface reconstruction in the high-temperature superconductor HgBaCuO
High magnetic fields have revealed a surprisingly small Fermi-surface in
underdoped cuprates, possibly resulting from Fermi-surface reconstruction due
to an order parameter that breaks translational symmetry of the crystal
lattice. A crucial issue concerns the doping extent of this state and its
relationship to the principal pseudogap and superconducting phases. We employ
pulsed magnetic field measurements on the cuprate HgBaCuO to
identify signatures of Fermi surface reconstruction from a sign change of the
Hall effect and a peak in the temperature-dependent planar resistivity. We
trace the termination of Fermi-surface reconstruction to two hole
concentrations where the superconducting upper critical fields are found to be
enhanced. One of these points is associated with the pseudogap end-point near
optimal doping. These results connect the Fermi-surface reconstruction to both
superconductivity and the pseudogap phenomena.Comment: 5 pages. 3 Figures. PNAS (2020
