Raman and Photoluminescence Studies of Quasiparticles in van der Waals Materials by Mansour M. AL-Makeen, Mario H. Biack, Xiao Guo, Haipeng Xie, Han Huang

“…Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have received much attention due to the unique properties stemming from their van der Waals (vdW) interactions, quantum confinement, and many-body interactions of quasi-particles, which drive their exotic optical and electronic properties, making them critical in many applications. Here, we review our past years’ findings, focusing on many-body interactions in 2D layered materials, including phonon anharmonicity, electron–phonon coupling (<i>e-ph</i>), exciton dynamics, and phonon anisotropy based on temperature (polarization)-dependent Raman spectroscopy and Photoluminescence (PL). …”

Study of evolution for 3D structured surface with nano-balls and walls-like features with thickness variation for WO3 thin films made by spray deposition by Mirela Petruta Suchea, Ioan Valentin Tudose, Cosmin Romanitan, Cristina Pachiu, Marian Popescu, Kyriakos Mouratis, Marina Manica, Stefan Antohe, Stelios Couris, Dragos Gabriel Zisopol, Octavian Narcis Ionescu, Emmanuel Koudoumas

“…Abstract The present work regards a unique yet study of 3D structured surface evolution of nano-balls and walls-like features with thickness variation, for tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films made by spray deposition. Since in most optoelectronic applications the surface morphology and structure play a crucial role and WO3 is one of the most studied and used metal oxide semiconductors in a significant variety of optoelectronic applications, a detailed study of recently observed and reported unique 3D complex architecture of WO3 coatings fabricated by spray pyrolysis (starting from different precursors) is of great importance for further development of thin film coatings and devices. …”
