A method is presented to determine the refractive index and extinction coefficient of a nontransparent material at a single wavelength using raw reflectance and Brillouin spectroscopy data. The method was validated for crystalline silicon, germanium, and the high-temperature superconductor Bi-2212.

We report carbon and fluorine KV double core hole (DCH) spectra of CHF, recorded by single-photon hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. A striking inversion in intensity between the and K7(3) resonances reflects a polarity switch in bonding character depending on the K-shell vacancy site. Within the Brillouin Inverse Theorem (BIT) framework, the transition strengths are shown to depend on the bielectronic integral (V = σ*, 3).

Two-dimensional (2D) Dirac states and Dirac points with linear dispersion are the hallmark of graphene, topological insulators, semimetals, and superconductors. Lowering a symmetry by the ferroelectric polarization opens the gap in Dirac points and introduces finite Berry curvature. Combining this with Dirac points detached from high symmetry points of the Brillouin zone offers additional ways to tailor topological properties.

We study quantum tunneling via-wave superconductor (SC) junction with a topologically charged nodal surface semimetal (NSSM) where a nonsymmorphic symmetry forces the nodal surfaces to stick to the Brillouin zone boundary. Due to their unique dispersions close to the two dimensional band crossing, the charge carriers in the NSSM display many unorthodox behavior in the nature of Andreev as well as normal reflections at the SC junction interface. We investigate such behaviors for different incident orientations for both subgap and supergap energies where monotonic decays/rises of reflectance with incident energy or angle of incidences are often not followed.

This study proposes a planar chiral all-dielectric metasurface based on quasiguided modes to achieve narrowband, high CD chiral thermal emission sources in the mid-infrared (MIR) region. To address the fabrication challenges associated with traditional three-dimensional chiral structures, this design introduces in-plane displacement perturbations, achieving chiral thermal emission through Brillouin zone folding and the breaking of mirror symmetries.
