We show in microwave measurements and computer simulations that the contribution of each eigenchannel of the transmission matrix to the density of states (DOS) is the derivative with angular frequency of a composite phase shift. The accuracy of the measurement of the DOS determined from transmission eigenchannels is confirmed by the agreement with the DOS found from the decomposition of the fie...

The local, eigenfunction-weighted acoustic phonon density of states (DOS) tensor is calculated for a model substrate consisting of a semi-infinite isotropic elastic continuum with a stress-free surface. On the surface, the local DOS is proportional to the square of the frequency v, as for the three-dimensional Debye model, but with a constant of proportionality that is considerably enhanced com...

Article history: Received 15 February 2015 Received in revised form 2 December 2015 Accepted 3 December 2015 Available online 23 March 2016 The modeling of the transient subgap density of states (DOS) for the investigation of trap densities in the oxidebased thin-film transistors is proposed. The study is based on both transient measurements and physical modeling. In history, the subgap DOS mod...

Amorphous solids, and many disordered lattices, exhibit a remarkable qualitative and quantitative universality in their acoustic properties at temperature 3 K. This phenomenon is attributed to the existence of tunneling two-level systems (TTLSs), characterized by a homogeneous density of states (DOS) at energies much lower than the disorder energy (≈0.1 eV). Here we calculate numerically, from ...

The electronic density of states (DOS) of La(0.625)Ca(0.375)MnO(3) (LCMO) strain-free epitaxial thin films with an insulator-metal transition temperature (T(IM)) of 250 K was probed using variable-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. We find a depression in the DOS with a finite zero bias conductance (ZBC) signifying a pseudogap in the 78-310 K temperature range. With coo...

A longstanding mystery in understanding cuprate superconductors is the inconsistency between the experimental data measured by scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). In particular, the gap between prominent side peaks observed in STS is much bigger than the superconducting gap observed by ARPES measurements. Here, we reconcile the two experi...

We investigate the effect of O impurities on the thermoelectric properties of ZnSe from a combination of first-principles and analytic calculations. It is demonstrated that dilute amounts of O impurities introduce peaks in the density of states (DOS) above the conduction band minimum, and that the charge density near the DOS peaks is substantially attracted toward O atoms due to their high elec...

Chirality-dependent van Hove singularities ~vHs! of the one-dimensional electronic density of states ~DOS! are discussed in connection with resonant Raman spectroscopy. The effect of trigonal warping on the energy dispersion relations near the Fermi energy splits the peaks of the density of states for metallic nanotubes, and the magnitude of this effect depends on the chiral angle of the carbon...

Sound velocities of bridgmanite measured in the laboratory are a key to deciphering the composition of the lower mantle. Here, we report Debye sound velocities determined using nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) for one majorite composition (Mg0.82Fe0.18SiO3) and five bridgmanite compositions (Mg0.82Fe0.18SiO3, Mg0.86Fe0.14Si0.98Al0.02O3, Mg0.88Fe0.12SiO3, Mg0.6Fe0.4Si0.63Al0.37O3, Mg0.83Fe0.15...
