A strategy for enhancing phosphine oxide passivation capacity of perovskite solar cells by fluorination
Perovskite solar cells have experienced rapid development in the last few years due to their excellent photovoltaic properties, and their efficiency and stability have attracted widespread attention....
A comprehensive study on the sandwich stacking structures of antiferroelectric/ferroelectric doped hafnium oxide
In this paper, the combinations of sandwich stacking structures of antiferroelectric/ferroelectric doped hafnium oxide are systematically explored. The sandwich stacking ferroelectric capacitors with...
Growth and characterization of high-quality Zr doped AlN epilayers
AlN stands out for its remarkable figures of merit for electronic and photonic devices, attributed to its ultrawide bandgap of ∼6.1 eV and an exceptionally high critical field of ∼15 MV/cm. More recen...
Information merging and reconstruction of single-shot dual-mode wide-field imaging with high spatial resolution
In many scenarios, it is really desirable but challenging for wide-field imaging to gather both the clear morphologies and fine details of the target. This paper realizes this imaging by a dual-mode i...
Development of L10-ordered FePt with low damping and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy by engineering the nanostructure
THz spintronics is an emergent area of research aimed at bridging the gap between fifth- and sixth-generation wireless telecommunications by utilizing spintronic devices such as magnetic spin torque o...
<i>P</i>-type surface charge transfer doping of diamond via low-dimensional transition metal oxides
Device applications of ultra-wide-bandgap diamond rely on the precise control of both carrier type and concentration. However, due to the strong covalent bonds in bulk diamond, conventional doping met...
Topology of far-field signals for photonic crystal slabs
The study of band topology in photonic crystals was primarily focused on near-field effects, including edge states and high-order corner states. However, this work investigated the polarization distri...
Nonreciprocal and nonlinear transport and spontaneous voltage generation in MoGe/Ni81Fe19
