Recently, polycrystalline argyrodite Ag 8 SnSe 6 has shown promising thermoelectric performance, which largely relies on the ultralow lattice thermal conductivity. However, the thermoelectric properties of single-crystalline Ag 8 SnSe 6 have been unavailable so far. In this work, Ag 8 SnSe 6 single crystals, with a hi…
Abstract Metamaterials are 3D artificial structures proposed to surpass conventional natural materials and realize novel functions beyond traditional optical elements. Nevertheless, they are usually bulky and difficult to be fabricated. As 2D equivalents of metamaterials, metasurfaces have been proposed to overcome th…
The fate of intravenously injected nanoparticles (NPs) is significantly affected by nano-protein interaction and corona formation. However, such an interaction between NPs and digestive enzymes occurring in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and its impacts on epithelial cell uptake are little known. We synthesized the…
Abstract In this paper we perform an in-depth theoretical study of a sensing platform based on epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterials. The structure proposed for sensing is a narrow metallic waveguide channel. An equivalent circuit model is rigorously deduced using transmission line theory, considering several configur…
As the most abundant intracellular biothiol, glutathione (GSH) plays a central role in many cellular functions and has been proved to be associated with numerous clinical diseases. Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to detect GSH over other mercaptoamino acids owing to their similar structures and activities. In th…
Abstract Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) and polylactide (PLA) were blended in a co‐rotating twin‐screw extruder with various contents of PBS from 0 to 100 wt%. The effect of PBS content on the thermal and mechanical properties of PBS/PLA blends was investigated by using DSC, softening point measurements, a Charpy impa…
Abstract Deterministic creation of multiple ferroelectric states with intermediate values of polarization remains challenging due to the inherent bi-stability of ferroelectric switching. Here we show the ability to select any desired intermediate polarization value via control of the switching pathway in (111)-oriente…
The crystallization of polymers is not, despite its importance in science and engineering, entirely understood due to the challenge of tracking the behavior of individual polymer chains in the crystallizing melt. However, increasing computational resources have brought the crystallization process within reach of molec…
Defect centers in hexagonal boron nitride represent room-temperature single-photon sources in a layered van der Waals material. These light emitters appear with a wide range of transition energies ranging over the entire visible spectrum, which renders the identification of the underlying atomic structure challenging.…
All-dielectric metamaterials have emerged as a promising platform for low-loss and highly efficient terahertz devices. However, existing fabrication methods have difficulty in achieving a good balance between precision and cost. Here, inspired by the nano-template-assisted self-assembly method, we develop a micro-temp…
In recent years, high-entropy alloys have been proposed as potential hydrogen storage materials. Despite a number of experimental efforts, there is a lack of theoretical understanding regarding the hydrogen absorption behavior of high-entropy alloys. In this work, the hydrogen storage properties of a new TiZrHfScMo hi…
Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials (sheet-like materials with few-atoms thickness and lateral size above 100 nm) have always aroused scientists’ interests since 2004 when Novoselov et al successfully exfoliated graphene from graphite using Scotch tape. It is some unique characters of 2D nanomaterials such as…
Abstract The conversion of CO 2 into valuable chemicals is an ideal pathway for CO 2 utilization in industry, although the development of highly efficient catalysts remains a challenge. Herein, the design and synthesis of two covalent organic frameworks (COFs) functionalized with imidazolium salts were reported as cat…
Metal oxide frame works along with carbon materials have been attracting tremendous attention of researches as the potential materials for energy and environmental remediation. In the present work heterostructures of (ZnO/CuO)/rGO ternary nanocomposites were synthesized by solid-state method. The crystalline structure…
While the primary bottleneck to a number of computational workflows was not so long ago limited by processing power, the rise of machine learning technologies has resulted in an interesting paradigm shift, which places increasing value on issues related to data curation-that is, data size, quality, bias, format, and c…
In this paper, the thermal properties of graphene oxide (GO) with vacancy defects were studied using a non-equilibrium molecular dynamics method. The results showed that the thermal conductivity of GO increases with the model length. A linear relationship of the inverse length and inverse thermal conductivity was obse…
Abstract A novel layer-by-layer (LBL) based electrode material for supercapacitor consists of polypyrrole/graphene oxide and polypyrrole/manganese oxide (PPy/GO|PPy/MnO 2 ) has prepared by electrochemical deposition. The formation of LBL assembled nanocomposite is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,…
An angle-insensitive broadband absorber of graphene covering the whole visible spectrum is numerically demonstrated, which is resulted from multiple couplings of the electric and magnetic dipole resonances in the narrow metallic grooves. This is achieved by integrating the graphene sheet with a multi-grooved metasurfa…
We explore optical activity in thin films and bulk of type-I and type II Weyl semimetals (WSM), and demonstrate the existence of a giant Kerr effect in both. In time-reversal symmetry broken WSM thin films, the polarization rotation is caused by the optical Hall conductivity including the anomalous Hall term. The Kerr…
We propose a new topological quantum state of matter---the two-dimensional (2D) Weyl half semimetal (WHS), which features 2D Weyl points at Fermi level belonging to a single spin channel, such that the low-energy electrons are described by fully spin-polarized 2D Weyl fermions. We predict its realization in the ground…
