Neutron study of the Peierls transition and low-frequency excitations in (TaSe4)2I
TL;DR: In this article, electron-phonon dispersion curves reflect the stiffness of the (TaSe 4 )∞ chains and the comparatively weak transverse interchain interactions, and the response of the polarised TA mode, connected with the Peierls instability, is found to be weakly temperature-dependent.

Francesco Marsili,D. Bitauld,Alessandro Gaggero,Roberto Leoni,Francesco Mattioli,S. Hold,M. Benkahoul,Francis Lévy,Andrea Fiore +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, high sensitivity ultrafast nanowire superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD) in the near infrared wavelength range have been fabricated with ultrathin (3.5nm) NbN films grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by dc reactive magnetron sputtering in Ar+N2 mixture.
Book ChapterDOI
Self-assembly of Inorganic Nanotubes Synthesised by the Chemical Transport Reaction
TL;DR: The chemical transport reaction, known as a standard method for growth of transition metal dichalcogenides, was found to be a successful technique for the synthesis of MoS 2 and WS 2 inorganic nanotubes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Doping (TaSe4)2I with Manganese
TL;DR: The authors measured the Peierls transition temperature T c, the threshold field for deipinning the charge density wave E c and E.P.R. spectra at 10 GHz and analyzed atomic absorption measurements of (TaSe 4 ) 2 I doped with 2% Mn.
