Activated Lone-Pair Electrons Lead to Low Lattice Thermal Conductivity: A Case Study of Boron Arsenide

Guangzhao Qin et al.

Summary: In this study, an effective approach for achieving low thermal conductivity by introducing lone-pair electrons or making the lone-pair electrons stereochemically active through bond nanodesigning was proposed. By cutting at the (111) cross section of the three-dimensional cubic boron arsenide, the thermal conductivity was reduced by more than 1 order of magnitude in the resulting two-dimensional graphenelike BAs. The underlying mechanism of activating lone-pair electrons was analyzed and compared with other materials, demonstrating the importance of the proposed approach for designing advanced thermal functional materials.

High-throughput screening of phase-engineered atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides for van der Waals contacts at the Schottky-Mott limit

Yanyan Li et al.

Summary: A main challenge in developing two-dimensional devices based on atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is achieving metal-semiconductor junctions (MSJs) with low contact resistance and high charge transport capability. Through first-principles calculations, researchers have proposed a solution using van der Waals (vdW) contacts between metallic and semiconducting TMDs, which can reduce the Fermi-level pinning and chemical disorder at the interfaces. By applying a phase-engineering strategy, a wide range of TMD vdW MSJs with desired contact types has been achieved. The study provides a fundamental understanding of the contact properties of TMD vdW MSJs and demonstrates their potential for electronics and optoelectronics applications.

Reduced Fermi Level Pinning at Physisorptive Sites of Moire-MoS2/Metal Schottky Barriers

Zhaofu Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that Moire interfaces can stabilize physisorptive sites at the Schottky barriers, resulting in a weaker interaction and higher pinning factor, as well as a lower n-type Schottky barrier height, contributing to the reduction of contact resistances.

Electronic properties of CaF2 bulk and interfaces

Jiaqi Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the electronic band structures of ultra-wide gap CaF2 using both hybrid functional and efficient generalized gradient approximation (GGA) + U scheme. The hybrid functional scheme agrees excellently with experiments, and introducing an on-site Coulomb interaction accurately reproduces the experimental bandgap and improves the previous theoretical results. The study also applies GGA + U method to explore CaF2/Si and metal/CaF2 interfaces, demonstrating its effectiveness in studying fluoride interfaces and contacts.

Ag-Pd alloy decorated ZnIn 2 S 4 microspheres with optimal Schottky barrier height for boosting visible-light-driven hydrogen evolution

Chao Liu et al.

Summary: By combining Ag-Pd alloy nanoparticles with ZnIn2S4, the photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution was significantly enhanced due to the synergistic effect of bimetallic Ag-Pd alloy. The optimal Ag0.25Pd0.75-ZIS sample exhibited higher H2 evolution rate and apparent quantum yield compared to pure ZIS, Ag-ZIS, and Pd-ZIS. The enhanced activity was attributed to increased light harvesting capacity and prolonged electron-hole pair lifetimes.

High ambipolar mobility in cubic boron arsenide revealed by transient reflectivity microscopy

Shuai Yue et al.

Summary: Researchers used pump-probe transient reflectivity microscopy to monitor the diffusion of photoexcited carriers in semiconducting cubic boron arsenide (c-BAs) and obtained their mobility. The experiments revealed a high ambipolar mobility for c-BAs, indicating its potential applications in high-performance electronics and optoelectronics.

Schottky barrier heights of defect-free metal/ZnO, CdO, MgO, and SrO interfaces

Jiaqi Chen et al.

Summary: The study investigates the Schottky barrier heights (SBHs) of defect-free interfaces of ZnO, CdO, MgO, and SrO with various metals using density functional supercell calculations. It is found that the p-type SBHs decrease linearly with increasing metal work function, and the pinning factor S increases with oxide ionicity. Additionally, a significant shift of SBHs from non-polar to polar interfaces is observed, which can be explained by an interfacial dipole.
