Intrinsic Terahertz Plasmons and Magnetoplasmons in Large Scale Monolayer Graphene

We show that in graphene epitaxially grown on SiC the Drude absorption is transformed into a strong terahertz plasmonic peak due to natural nanoscale inhomogeneities, such as substrate terraces and wrinkles. The excitation of the plasmon modifies dramatically the magneto-optical response and in particular the Faraday rotation. This makes graphene a unique playground for plasmon-controlled magneto-optical phenomena thanks to a cyclotron mass 2 orders of magnitude smaller than in conventional plasmonic materials such as noble metals.Comment: to appear in Nano Letter

Characteristic Properties of Dy-Eu-Ce Co-Doped ZrO2 Nanofibers Fabricated via Electrospinning

2nd International Conference on Computational and Experimental Science and Engineering (ICCESEN) -- OCT 14-19, 2015 -- Kemer, TURKEYWOS: 000384810700079Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) is one of the widely studied oxide materials because of its excellent electrical, mechanical and optical properties. In this study, undoped and Dy-Eu-Ce co-doped ZrO2 nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning method and their crystal structure, surface morphology, optical properties, electrical and electronic properties, and chemical properties have been analyzed using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope (SEM), UV/VIS spectrometer, four point probe technique ( FPPT) energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) measurements, respectively

Towards the new Thematic Core Service Tsunami within the EPOS Research Infrastructure

Tsunamis constitute a significant hazard for European coastal populations, and the impact of tsunami events worldwide can extend well beyond the coastal regions directly affected. Understanding the complex mechanisms of tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation, as well as managing the tsunami risk, requires multidisciplinary research and infrastructures that cross national boundaries. Recent decades have seen both great advances in tsunami science and consolidation of the European tsunami research community. A recurring theme has been the need for a sustainable platform for coordinated tsunami community activities and a hub for tsunami services. Following about three years of preparation, in July 2021, the European tsunami community attained the status of Candidate Thematic Core Service (cTCS) within the European Plate Observing System (EPOS) Research Infrastructure. Within a transition period of three years, the Tsunami candidate TCS is anticipated to develop into a fully operational EPOS TCS. We here outline the path taken to reach this point, and the envisaged form of the future EPOS TCS Tsunami. Our cTCS is planned to be organised within four thematic pillars: (1) Support to Tsunami Service Providers, (2) Tsunami Data, (3) Numerical Models, and (4) Hazard and Risk Products. We outline how identified needs in tsunami science and tsunami risk mitigation will be addressed within this structure and how participation within EPOS will become an integration point for community development
