Highlighted Research

Preparation of high entropy alloys and application to catalytical water electrolysis

This Research Update summarizes recent research progress on high entropy alloy catalysts in electrolytic water splitting.

Silver-modified graphene oxide nanosheets for antibacterial performance of bone scaffold

Endowing scaffold with antibacterial activity is an effective countermeasure to prevent bacterial infection in bone repair. Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) possess broad-spectrum antibacterial efficiency, whereas the agglomeration and burst releasing of Ag NPs hindered their clinic application in bone repair.

Deep language models for interpretative and predictive materials science

Machine learning (ML) has emerged as an indispensable methodology to describe, discover, and predict complex physical phenomena that efficiently help us learn underlying functional rules, especially in cases when conventional modeling approaches cannot be applied.

Room temperature optically pumped GeSn microdisk lasers

GeSn alloys are promising materials for light emitters monolithically grown on silicon. In this work, we demonstrate room temperature (RT) lasing in a GeSn hetero-structure with 17.2% of Sn.

Molecular physics of persistent room temperature phosphorescence and long-lived triplet excitons

Persistent room temperature phosphorescence (pRTP) is important to high-resolution imaging independent of autofluorescence and the scattering of excitation light for security and imaging applications.

All sp² hybridlization BN polymorphs with wide bandgap

Four new boron nitride polymorphs hP24 BN, hP18-I BN, mP36 BN, and hP18-II BN with sp² hybridization are investigated in this study by first-principles calculations, including the structural properties, stability, elastic properties, anisotropy, and electronic properties.

Deep level defect states in β-, α-, and ɛ-Ga₂O₃ crystals and films: Impact on device performance

A review is given of reported trap states in the bandgaps of different polymorphs of the emerging ultrawide bandgap semiconductor Ga₂O₃.

Photoinduced carrier transport mechanism in pn- and nn-GaN/GaON heterojunctions

The unexpected high persistent photoconductivity effect in Ga₂O₃ material hinders the application of deep-ultraviolet photodetectors, while GaON can effectively avoid the effect caused by oxygen vacancies through anion engineering.

Observation of photo-induced plasmon–phonon coupling in PbTe via ultrafast x-ray scattering

We report the observation of photo-induced plasmon–phonon coupled modes in the group IV–VI semiconductor PbTe using ultrafast x-ray diffuse scattering at the Linac Coherent Light Source.
