The properties of a potentially new class of ferroelectric materials based on wurtzite-structured ZnO thin films are examined using the first-principles calculations. Theoretical P-E hysteresis loops were calculated using the fixed-D method for both unstrained and (biaxially) strained single crystals. Ferroelectric po…

Ga2O3 thin films were deposited on (111) Si substrate by pulsed laser deposition method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy has been used to determine the valence band offset at Ga2O3/Si heterojunction interface. We measured the binding energies of Si 2p and Ga 2p3/2 core levels and the valence band maxima energies. The…

The successful development of durable wood-plastic composite (WPC) cladding is a challenge for the industry. Due to the organic fibres in the compound it is though doubtable if WPC performs satisfyingly in a façade application which is expected to last 50 years. This paper provides insights from a study to find out ho…

We explore the band structure and ballistic electron transport in twisted bilayer MoS2 using the density functional theory. The sphagetti like bands are unfolded to generate band structures in the primitive unit cell of the original 2H MoS2 bilayer and projected onto the original bands of an individual layer. The corr…

We measured the magnetoresistivity properties of Td-MoTe2 single crystal under the magnetic field up to 33 T. By analyzing the Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations of the longitudinal resistance Δρxx, a linear dependence of the Landau index n on 1/B is obtained. The intercept of the Landau index plot is 0.47, which is betwe…

Recently, Kobayashi et al. (arXiv:1608.07718; ref. 1) have proposed an alternative interpretation of our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) results for the dilute ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As. They claim that our ARPES data [Sci. Rep. 6, 27266 (2016); ref. 2] can be explained by locating the Fe…
