Hafnia thin films have been under intensive research during the past few years due to its
robust ferroelectricity under very thin limit and good compatibility with silicon. The polar …

The instability of organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) is one key obstacle to practical
application and is closely related to the unstable aggregate state of organic semiconductors …

MoS 2 is a highly interesting material, which exhibits a crossover from an indirect band gap
in the bulk crystal to a direct gap for single layers. Here, we perform a direct comparison …

We present a photoluminescence study of single‐layer MoS2 flakes on SiO2 surfaces. We
demonstrate that the luminescence peak position of flakes prepared from natural MoS2 …

The present study has been focused on the synthesis of silica encapsulated paraffin phase
change materials and its application in cement-based systems. One-pot in-situ hydrolysis of …

Strain engineering is an efficient tool to tune and tailor the electrical and optical properties of
2D materials. The built-in strain can be tuned during the synthesis process of a two …

A lightsail accelerated via directed energy is a candidate technology to send a probe into the
deep space in a time period compatible with human life. The light emitted by a ground …

Reflection fiber temperature sensors functionalized with plasmonic nanocomposite material
using intensity-based modulation are demonstrated for the first time. Characteristic …

Structural defects in two-dimensional (2D) materials are ubiquitous and can influence their
physical and chemical properties. The presence of structural defects in single atom thick 2D …

Hyperconnected network architectures can endow nanomaterials with remarkable
mechanical properties that are fundamentally controlled by designing connectivity into the …
