We present a theoretical study of the band structure and optical conductivity for chiral multifold semimetal PdGa. identify several characteristic features in provide their origins within structure. As experimental studies mentioned compound have not been reported, we contrast our results with related compounds, RhSi CoSi. believe that presented hallmarks will guidance to future works.

Coseismic surface deformation in large earthquakes is typically measured using field mapping and with a range of geodetic methods (e.g., InSAR, lidar differencing, and GPS). Current methods, however, either fail to capture patterns of near-field coseismic surface deformation or lack preevent data. Consequently, the characteristics of off-fault deformation and the parameters that control it rema...

Abstract We study the prospects in search of dark matter offered by newly selected NASA MeV mission COSI (Compton Spectrometer and Imager). This instrument is designed optimized to detect spectral lines, we show it offers an exquisite possibility directly decaying or annihilating into monochromatic gamma-rays. case, for example, axion-like particles (ALPs) which undergo decay two photons. Furth...

Currently the trend in the Si IC industry is to produce epitaxial material layers by advanced growth and deposition techniques. Examples of these are Si and SiGe low temperature epitaxy, Si selective epitaxy and metallic silicide epitaxy. In order to obtain good electrical properties it is important that the epitaxial material shows no extended lattice defects and has a minimal concentration of...

The effects of Ge partial substitution for Si on the thermoelectric properties of CoSi1−xGex alloys were investigated by means of thermal and electrical transport measurements. Electrical resistivity , Seebeck coefficient S , and thermal conductivity measurements were performed on a series of CoSi1−xGex alloys with x varying from 0 to 0.15. A substantial decrease in electrical resistivity and l...
