A direct Z-scheme MoSi2N4/BlueP vdW heterostructure for photocatalytic overall water splitting

Chen Xuefeng et al.

Summary: Through first-principle calculations, a MoSi2N4/BlueP heterostructure is designed and investigated, which exhibits the characteristics of direct Z-scheme vdW heterostructure, favorable for the spatial separation of photogenerated carriers and retains a strong redox capacity. The heterostructure has a stronger light absorption from the visible to ultraviolet region compared to two monolayer materials. The solar to hydrogen conversion efficiency is over three-fold and four-fold as great as that of pristine MoSi2N4 and BlueP monolayers, respectively.

Tunable type-II band alignment and electronic structure of C3N4/MoSi2N4 heterostructure: Interlayer coupling and electric field

Cuong Q. Nguyen et al.

Summary: In this study, the atomic and electronic structures of the C3N4/MoSi2N4 van der Waals heterostructure (vdWH) were investigated. It was found that the C3N4/MoSi2N4 vdWH has a semiconductor characteristic with a band gap in the visible light range, indicating strong optical absorption. The band edges of the C3N4/MoSi2N4 vdWH originate from the C3N4 and MoSi2N4 layers, resulting in a type-II band alignment. Furthermore, the electronic structure and band alignment types can be flexibly tuned by external electric field and interlayer distance change.

GaN buffer growth temperature and efficiency of InGaN/GaN quantum wells: The critical role of nitrogen vacancies at the GaN surface

Yao Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of GaN-buffer growth temperature on the efficiency of InGaN/GaN quantum wells, revealing that high-temperature growth promotes the creation of surface defects leading to a collapse in internal quantum efficiency. Theoretical analysis suggests that these defects are likely to be nitrogen vacancies. Furthermore, the study shows that surface defects are mainly generated at the early stage of GaN growth and reach a steady state concentration determined by the growth temperature.
