The present work investigates the interfacial and atomic layer-dependent mechanical properties, SOC-entailing phonon band structure, and comprehensive electron-topological–elastic integration of ZrTe2 and NiTe2. The anisotropy of Young’s...

Silver gallium sulfide (AgGaS2) is a ternary A(I)B(III)X(VI)2-type semiconductor featuring a direct bandgap and high chemical stability. Structurally resembling diamond, AgGaS2 has gained considerable attention as a highly promising material for nonl...

The disinfection of drinking water is essential for eliminating pathogens and preventing waterborne diseases. However, this process generates various disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which toxicological research indicates can have detrimental effects...

The exploitation of high-performance third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) materials that have a favorable optical limit (OL) threshold is essential due to a rise in the application of ultra-intense lasers. In this study, a Cu-based MOF (denoted as Cu-...

A transparent fluoroborosilicate glass ceramic was designed for the controllable precipitation of fluoride nanocrystals and to greatly enhance the photoluminescence of active ions. Through the introduction of B2O3 into fluorosilicate glass, the melti...

Agricultural growers worldwide face significant challenges in promoting plant growth. This research introduces a green strategy utilizing nanomaterials to enhance crop production. While high concentrations of nanomaterials are known to be hazardous t...

We used density functional theory with a hybrid functional to investigate the structure and properties of [4H]Si (hydrogarnet) defects in α-quartz as well as the reactions of these defects with electron holes and extra hydrogen atoms and ions....

This paper demonstrates the use of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) to drive active digital mini light-emitting diode (mini-LED) backlights, aiming to achieve exceptional display performance. Our findings reveal that OTFTs can effectively power...

In situ X-ray reciprocal space mapping was performed during the interval heating and cooling of InGaN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) grown via metal–organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Our detailed in situ X-ray analysis enabled us to track changes i...

Antimonide laser diodes, with their high performance above room temperature, exhibit significant potential for widespread applications in the mid-infrared spectral region. However, the laser’s performance significantly degrades as the emission...
