Organic-inorganic halide perovskites present a number of challenges for first-principles atomistic materials modelling. These `plastic crystals' feature dynamic processes across multiple length-scales and time-scales, which include: (i) transport of slow ions and fast electrons; (ii) highly anharmonic lattice dynamics…

In a recent Letter, Choi et al. performed first-principles GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation ( GW-BSE) calculations for a number of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors and discovered a linear scaling relation between exciton binding energy Eb and quasiparticle band gap Eg. The authors further suggested that the linear scalin…

The collective spin-wave excitations in the antiferromagnetic state of $γ$-Fe$_{0.7}$Mn$_{0.3}$ were investigated using the inelastic neutron scattering technique. The spin excitations remain isotropic up to the high excitation energy, ${\hbarω}= 78$ meV. The excitations gradually become broad and damped above 40 meV.…

Carrier recombination and transport processes play key roles in determining the optoelectronic performances such as the efficiency droop and forward voltage in InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this work, we investigate the dominant carrier transport and recombination processes ins…

As an attempt to further elucidate the operating voltage increase in InGaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the radiative and nonradiative current components are separately analyzed in combination with the Shockley diode equation. Through the analyses, we have shown that the increase in operating voltage is caused…

We present an absolute extraction method of optical constants of metal from the measured reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy spectra with the help of a recently developed reverse Monte Carlo technique. The method is based on a direct physical modeling of electron transportation with an optimization procedure…

We theoretically demonstrate a strong dependence of the annihilation rate between (singlet) excitons on the sign of dipole-dipole couplings between molecules. For molecular H-aggregates, where this sign is positive, the phase relation of the delocalized two-exciton wavefunctions causes a destructive interference in th…

The quantum Hall conductance in monolayer graphene on an epitaxial SrTiO3 (STO) thin film is studied to understand the role of oxygen vacancies in determining the dielectric properties of STO. As the gate voltage sweep range is gradually increased in our device, we observe systematic generation and annihilation of oxy…

Presented study concerns the possibility of evaluation of interfacial thermal resistance (ITR) between the constituents in composite materials with the use of flash technique. Two variants of such measurement are considered, the first of which is the measurement of ITR between two bonded layers of different materials…

The oriented attachment (OA) of nanoparticles is an important mechanism for the synthesis of the crystals of inorganic functional materials, and the formation of natural minerals. For years it has been generally acknowledged that OA is a physical process, i.e., particle alignments and interface fusion via mass diffusi…

Amorphous solids increase their stress as a function of an applied strain until a mechanical yield point whereupon the stress cannot increase anymore, afterward exhibiting a steady state with a constant mean stress. In stress-controlled experiments, the system simply breaks when pushed beyond this mean stress. The ubi…

Abstract Visible‐light‐responsive reversible color‐switching systems are attractive to many applications because visible light has superior penetration and causes far less damage to organic molecules than UV. Herein, we report that self‐doping of SnO 2− x nanocrystals with Sn 2+ red‐shifts their absorption to the visi…
