Controlling site disorder in ternary and multinary compounds enables tuning optical and
electronic properties at fixed lattice constants and stoichiometries, moving beyond many of …

Solution-processed semiconductor devices are increasingly exploiting heterostructuring—
an approach in which two or more materials with different energy landscapes are integrated …

Configurational disorder can be compositionally engineered into mixed oxide by populating
a single sublattice with many distinct cations. The formulations promote novel and entropy …

Understanding the physics of structurally and chemically complex transition-metal oxide and
polyanionic materials such as those used for battery electrodes is challenging, even at the …

The elephant in the room of materials chemistry is that all materials inherently have defects
and impurities. Defects can tremendously influence a material's functional properties by …

Engineered point defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials offer an attractive platform for
solid-state devices that exploit tailored optoelectronic, quantum emission, and resistive …

Structure and composition control the behavior of materials. Isostructural alloying is
historically an extremely successful approach for tuning materials properties, but it is often …

Understanding the nanoscopic chemical and structural changes that drive instabilities in
emerging energy materials is essential for mitigating device degradation. The power …

The properties of materials are often controlled by defects and impurities. This is particularly
true in the case of semiconductors, where the incorporation of impurities in small …

Dislocations in ionic solids are topological extended defects that modulate composition,
strain, and charge over multiple length scales. As such, they provide an extra degree of …
