This paper demonstrates that fluorination-induced AlFx formation combined with SiNx passivation effectively suppresses defect-assisted leakage in grafted p-Si/n-AlN heterojunction diodes by removing RTA-induced oxides and stabilizing the interface, thereby enabling low-leakage ultrawide-bandgap power electronics.
This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to demonstrate that increasing manganese content in polycrystalline -Ti alloys enhances their resistance to plastic deformation by elevating stress levels and altering dislocation nucleation and evolution mechanisms within the hexagonal close-packed lattice.
This paper demonstrates high-performance, multi-kV AlGaN PolFETs utilizing gate-connected field plate structures that achieve a state-of-the-art combination of high on-state current, ultra-wide bandgap breakdown fields exceeding 4.8 MV/cm, and low specific on-resistance, establishing UWBG AlGaN as a promising platform for both high-voltage power and RF applications.
This study demonstrates that in the single-domain itinerant ferromagnet ZrZn, the anomalous Hall conductivity exhibits a nonlinear dependence on magnetization that breaks down and even reverses sign at small magnetic moments, challenging the traditional assumption of a linear relationship.
This study demonstrates that topochemically engineered, metastable T/H-FeTaS endotaxial heterostructures successfully stabilize the rare coexistence of room-temperature commensurate charge density wave order and ferromagnetism by utilizing Fe intercalants to simultaneously tune competing spin and charge degrees of freedom in 2D materials.
This paper introduces a novel molecular design for high-efficiency deep-blue Eu(II) emitters using crown-ether ligands and carborate anions to achieve narrow emission and over 12% external quantum efficiency in OLEDs, while elucidating the critical roles of steric shielding and energetic confinement through combined theoretical and experimental studies.
This paper reports the development of a rigid aza-crown Europium(II) complex that enables blue organic light-emitting diodes to achieve a record-breaking external quantum efficiency of 20.7% by leveraging stable 4f-5d atomic transitions for pure, high-efficiency electroluminescence.
This study utilizes focused Ga+ ion beam tomography to demonstrate that 2D SEM-based estimates systematically underestimate the true 3D porosity and surface-to-volume ratios of macroporous silicon, highlighting the necessity of direct 3D characterization for accurately quantifying its complex, anisotropic pore network.
This study demonstrates that incorporating three-body Axilrod–Teller–Muto interactions into the XDM dispersion model, particularly with the new Z-damping function, yields the most accurate exfoliation energies for layered materials using semi-local density-functional theory to date.
This study utilizes first-principles calculations to demonstrate that while most hybrid organic-inorganic chalcogenide perovskites are structurally unstable, the hydrazinium-based compound \ce{N2H6ZrSe3} emerges as a promising, stable lead-free photovoltaic absorber with a 1.31 eV band gap and a theoretical efficiency of 24.5%.
