Topological insulation is widely predicted in two-dimensional (2D) materials realized by epitaxial growth or van der Waals (vdW) exfoliation. Such 2D topological insulators (TI’s) host many interesting physical properties such...

Abstract 2D van der Waals chalcogenides such as topological insulators and transition-metal dichalcogenides and their heterostructures are now at the forefront of semiconductor research. In this paper, we discuss the fundamental features and advantages of van der Waals bonded superlattices over conventional superlattices made of 3D materials and describe in more detail one practical example, namely, interfacial phase change memory based on GeTe–Sb2Te3 superlattice structures.

AbstractA novel experimental analysis method has been developed, making use of the continuous wavelet transform and machine learning to rapidly identify $$\alpha $$ α -clustering in nuclei in regions of high nuclear state density. This technique was applied to resonant scattering measurements of the $$^\text {4}$$ 4 He($$^\text {40,44,48}$$ 40,44,48 Ca,$$\alpha $$ α ) resonant reactions, allowing the $$\alpha $$ α -cluster structure of $$^\text {44,48,52}$$ 44,48,52 Ti to be investigated. Fragmented $$\alpha $$ α -clustering was identified in $$^\text {44}$$ 44 Ti and $$^\text {52}$$ 52 Ti, while the results for $$^\text {48}$$ 48 Ti were less conclusive, but suggest no such clustering.

The scattering of gamma radiation from different isotopic mixtures of lead has been measured between 4.7 and 8.3 MeV with a variable energy beam with 175 keV resolution obtained by Compton scattering (n,γ) radiation of nickel from a curved aluminum plate. The elastically scattered radiation was detected with a 12.5 cm diameter, 12.5 cm long NaI(Tl) and with 27 or 49 cm3 Ge(Li) detectors located at scattering angles of 135° and 90°, respectively. Relative scattering measurements from targets of natural lead, radio-lead, and lead enriched in 208Pb show that the most prominent peaks of natural lead are in 208Pb at 7332.6 ± 1.3, 7087.7 ± 4.6, 7064.4 ± 3.5, 6721.0 ± 1.8, 5507.6 ± 1.8, 5292.6 ± 3.3, 4836.5 ± 4.6 keV. Measurements of resonant scattering and resonant self-absorption of the more intense scattered radiations provide information on level widths.
