In recently developed non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) based organic solar cells (OSCs), both the donor and acceptor parts can be excited by absorbing light photons. Therefore, both the electron transfer and hole transfer channels could occur at the donor/acceptor interface for generating free charge carriers in NFA based…

Hydrogen can penetrate reversibly a number of metals, occupy the interstitial sites and cause large expansion of the crystal lattice. The question discussed here is whether the kinetics of the structural response matches hydrogen absorption. We show that thin Pd and CoPd films exposed to a relatively rich hydrogen atm…

Using a multiscale computational approach, we probe the origin and evolution of ultraflat bands in moir\'e superlattices of twisted bilayer $\mathrm{Mo}{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$, a prototypical transition metal dichalcogenide. Unlike twisted bilayer graphene, we find no unique magic angles in twisted bilayer $\mathrm{Mo}{\mat…

We report the temperature and pressure (pmax ≃ 1.5 GPa) evolution of the crystal structure of the Weyl semimetal Td-MoTe2 by combination of neutron diffraction and the X-ray total scattering experiments. We find that the fundamental non-centrosymmetric structure Td is fully suppressed and transforms into a centrosymme…

Many monumental breakthroughs in p -type PbTe thermoelectrics are driven by optimizing a Pb 0.98 Na 0.02 Te matrix. However, recent works found that x > 0.02 in Pb 1– x Na x Te further improves the thermoelectric figure of merit, zT, despite being above the expected Na solubility limit. We explain the origins of impro…
