The showcase presents a free-to-read selection of physica status solidi articles published in 2015.
Physica Status Solidi
First transparent solar cells developed by physicists of Leipzig University
Prof. Marius Grundmann from Universität Leipzig and his PhD student Robert Karsthof, MSc, and further coworkers have presented the first such transparent solar cell in a recent article in physica status solidi (a).
Anisotropic interlayer coupling in atomically thin ReS2
Atomically thin transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have recently attracted a lot of research interest. Like graphene, they can be prepared as two-dimensional crystals by exfoliation. Unlike graphene, they are semiconductors with large band gaps, which make them...
Magnetisation dynamics in superlattices
Razdolski et al. observed oscillations in magneto-optical response of magnetically coupled multilayers, opening new horizons for magnetic media applications
Charge correlations in cobaltates
Guo et al. reported on a systematic elastic neutron scattering study of the charge correlations in La2CoO4 as a function of Sr-doping.
Optical spectroscopy reveals biexcitons in monolayer tungstenite
A group of scientists at the University of Regensburg have studied the photoluminescence of gated monolayer WS2 flakes and identified the biexciton emission
Special issues on Nobel Prizewinning Nitride Semiconductors
Twin special issues on the Nobel Prize topic “Nitride Semiconductors” have been published in pss (a) and pss (b).
pss Showcase 2015
The 2015 edition of our pss Showcase looks back on recent successful publications in the physica status solidi journal family.
Optical antennas for switchable holographic smart pixels
Researchers from University of Cambridge have proposed a new type of multi-functional pixel elements for next generation holographic display technologies.
