    The Temperature Dependence of Elastic Constants and Zener Anisotropy in Single Crystal KTaO3 Below Room Temperature
    (Pleiades Publishing Ltd, 2025) Aktaş, Oktay; Ding, X. D.; Carpenter, M. A.; Aktas, O.; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
    We present the first experimental report of the complete elastic tensor of incipient ferroelectric KTaO3 between 9.6 and 307 K, using resonant ultrasound spectroscopy (RUS). The elastic constants C-11 and C-44, as well as the bulk and shear moduli increase roughly linearly upon cooling. Deviations from such dependence are a result of impurities. Zener anisotropy factor is 0.697 at room temperature and decreases to 0.627 at 9.6 K, indicating increasing elastic anisotropy. The temperature dependence of C-12 is anomalous with no stiffening on cooling, which could be a result of different defect species influencing C-12 but not the other constants, possibly due to defect anisotropy. The values of elastic constants and anisotropy are compared at room temperature and below 10 K with the literature reporting experimental results and density functional theory calculations.

    Time-Resolved Stokes Polarization Analysis of Single Photon Emitters in Hexagonal Boron Nitride
    (American Chemical Society, 2025) Ateş, Serkan; Ateş, S.; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology; 04. Faculty of Science; 04.05. Department of Pyhsics
    Solid-state quantum emitters are pivotal to the advancement of quantum technologies, particularly in quantum computation and communication, where the polarization of single photons serves as a key information carrier. Precise characterization of polarization is essential for understanding the underlying dynamics and minimizing polarization-related errors in emitter design. In this study, we employ the Rotating Quarter-Wave Plate (RQWP) method to perform comprehensive polarization analysis of quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). By capturing both time-averaged and time-resolved polarization characteristics, we present the first demonstration of dynamic Stokes parameter evolution from single-photon emitters in hBN. Our work demonstrates a powerful method for revealing complex polarization dynamics that were previously inaccessible and provides new insights into the behavior of solid-state quantum emitters. The methods introduced here are broadly applicable to polarization studies across a range of solid-state quantum systems. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
