Fe2As has been studied in situ by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) over the range of temperatures 25-850 °C and under a neutral atmosphere to understand its thermal behavior, which is potentially important for gold...
Polymeric nitrogen, stabilized by compressing pure molecular nitrogen, has yet to be recovered to ambient conditions, precluding its application as a high-energy density material. Here we suggest a route for synthesis of a...
Electrocaloric (EC) materials show promise in eco-friendly solid-state refrigeration and integrable on-chip thermal management. While direct measurement of EC thin-films still remains challenging, a generic theoretical framework...
Superionic states simultaneously exhibit properties of a fluid and a solid. Proton (H+) superionicity in ice, H3O, He-H2O, and He-NH3 compounds is well-studied. However, hydride (H-) superionicity in H-rich compounds is rare...
In the past decade, the group V-VI compounds have been widely investigated due to their excellent properties and applications. It is now accepted that diverse stoichiometry can yield new compounds with unanticipated properties...
Polymer carbon dots (PCDs) are proposed as a new class of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials. The abundant energy levels in PCDs increase the probability of intersystem crossing (ISC) and their covalently...
In 2013, a lightweight block cipher SIMON is proposed by NSA. This paper tries to investigate this design criterion in terms of resisting against impossible differential cryptanalysis. On one hand, starting from all the possible...
The recent discovery of H_{3}S and LaH_{10} superconductors with record high superconducting transition temperatures T_{c} at high pressure has fueled the search for room-temperature superconductivity in the compressed...
Metal halide perovskites (MHPs) are of great interest for optoelectronics because of their high quantum efficiency in solar cells and light-emitting devices. However, exploring an effective strategy to further improve their...
Stimuli-responsive behaviors of flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) make these materials promising in a wide variety of applications such as gas separation, drug delivery, and molecular sensing. Considerable efforts have...
We present an in situ powder X-ray diffraction study on the phase stability and polymorphism of the metal-organic framework ZIF-4, Zn(imidazolate)2, at simultaneous high pressure and high temperature, up to 8 GPa and 600 °C. The...
Highly active, stable, and cheap Pt-free catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are facing increasing demand as a result of their potential use in future energy-conversion systems. However, the development of HER...
Cesium-based trihalide perovskites have been demonstrated as promising light absorbers for photovoltaic applications due to their superb composition stability. However, the large energy losses (Eloss ) observed in inorganic...
Abstract: Earth’s deep carbon cycle affects atmospheric CO2, climate, and habitability. Owing to the extreme solubility of CaCO3, aqueous fluids released from the subducting slab could extract all carbon from the slab. However...
