Compositing negative-thermal-expansion materials with Al is an effective strategy for obtaining light zero-thermal-expansion (ZTE) materials. However, the dimensional stability of those composites is ...
The pressure-induced phase transition from hexagonal wurtzite (B4) to cubic rock salt (B1) in semiconductors is generally identified as an important displacement-type structural transition. Despite ...
Anisotropy plays a crucial role in understanding and optimizing the properties of materials with directional dependencies. The hexagonal wurtzite structure, which is a typical crystal structure in ...
The recent laser excitation of the 229Th isomeric transition in a solid-state host opens the door for a portable solid-state nuclear optical clock. However, at present, the vacuum-ultraviolet laser ...
Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) have shown remarkable photon detection characteristics, and scalable architectures allow for the fabrication of SNSPD cameras with over a ...
We demonstrate the unconventional and conventional spin-to-charge conversion (SCC) in MnPd3 using local SCC device at room temperature. The low crystal symmetry along the (114) growth direction ...
Dual-main-phase (DMP) magnets, a promising approach for the efficient utilization of high-abundance rare earth elements, exhibit enhanced coercivity compared to single-main-phase (SMP) magnets. This ...
Two-dimensional gallium nitride (2D-GaN) has great potential in power electronics and optoelectronics. Heat dissipation is a critical issue for these applications of 2D-GaN. Previous studies have ...
In this study, we employ first-principles calculations to explore the structural and electronic properties of monoclinic Al2O3/Ga2O3 superlattices with varied layer thickness and to perform a ...
