This paper reports the successful growth of high-quality, single-phase -InSe single crystals with record-low carrier densities by employing a Se-flux assisted modified vertical Bridgman technique under high pressure, which effectively suppresses selenium evaporation and minimizes intrinsic defects.
This study investigates how high-temperature preconditioning protocols influence lithium plating in commercial LG Chem HG2 cells during low-temperature cycling at -20°C, utilizing a combination of experimental testing, computed tomography, and 3D spatially resolved modeling to identify the underlying mechanisms of degradation.
This study presents a concentration-tunable KGaGeO4:Bi3+,Eu3+ platform that enables selective temperature or pressure sensing through multimodal spectroscopic readouts, achieving significantly enhanced sensitivity by integrating RGB imaging with multiple linear regression analysis.
This study presents a thermally robust, strongly pressure-responsive NIR luminescent manometer based on NaLu2Ga3Ge2O12:Cr3+, Ni2+, which achieves record-high pressure sensitivity and exceptional thermal invariance through the ratiometric modulation of Cr3+ and Ni2+ emission bands.
This atomistic simulation study reveals that chemical clustering in Ba(ZrTi)O enhances macroscopic performance by spatially redistributing local structural phases to stabilize polar order and by inducing resilient topological textures that drive electrical hardening, thereby establishing a quantitative link between nanoscale compositional heterogeneity and functional properties.
This study demonstrates that metallic AuPt superlattices rapidly localize absorbed optical energy within platinum atoms on a femtosecond timescale, regardless of the initial excitation wavelength, by leveraging platinum's large electronic heat capacity and rapid interfacial transport to drive coherent lattice phonons.
This study utilizes time-resolved 5DSTEM to simultaneously track morphology, orientation, and strain during aqueous gold nanocrystal growth, revealing how heterogeneous particle-level mechanisms like continuous growth and discrete coalescence collectively drive ensemble kinetics and structural evolution.
This study demonstrates voltage-controlled magnetism in epitaxial SrTiO/Fe heterostructures on silicon substrates at cryogenic temperatures, offering a power-efficient and scalable approach for integrating nanomagnetic components into next-generation classical and quantum computing circuits.
This study employs density functional theory to systematically investigate the magnetic and electronic structures of over 50 CuSb-type compounds, identifying more than 20 new antiferromagnetic candidates with potential for spintronic applications beyond the well-known CuMnAs.
First-principles calculations reveal that surface relaxation in GaAs(110) enhances the Berry curvature dipole by shifting localized surface states into the bulk continuum, thereby promoting surface-bulk hybridization that generates pronounced Berry-curvature hot spots.
