(X = molecular anion). Like the well-known octahedral tilts of conventional perovskites, shifts also preserve the octahedral coordination geometry of the B-site cation in molecular perovskites, and so are predisposed to influencing the low-energy dynamics and displacive phase transitions of these topical systems. We p…

The thermoelectric behavior of the Dirac semimetal Cd <sub>3</sub> As <sub>2</sub> can be much improved by electron or hole doping, especially the latter. The optimum <italic>ZT</italic> is found to be about 0.5, much larger than that (0.15) obtained in pristine Cd <sub>3</sub> As <sub>2</sub> in experiments.

Density functional calculations are performed to study the band structures of Bi2Te3-related binary (Bi2Te3, Sb2Te3, Bi2Se3, and Sb2Se3) and Sb/Se-doped ternary compounds [(Bi1−x Sb x )2Te3 and Bi2(Te1−y Se y )3]. The band gap was found to be increased by Sb doping and to be monotonically increased by Se doping. In te…

We propose an innovative, easy-to-implement approach to synthesize aligned large-area single-crystalline graphene flakes by chemical vapor deposition on copper foil. This method doubly takes advantage of residual oxygen present in the gas phase. First, by slightly oxidizing the copper surface, we induce grain boundary…

A bottom-up chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process for the growth of graphene nanomesh films is demonstrated. The process relies on silicon nanospheres to block nucleation sites for graphene CVD on copper substrates. These spheres are formed in a self-organized way through silicon diffusion through a 5 μm copper laye…
