Conspectus Intuitively, chemists see crystals grow atom-by-atom or molecule-by-molecule,
very much like a mason builds a wall, brick by brick. It is much more difficult to grasp that …

The real-time, in-line analysis of light polarization is critical in optical networks, currently
suffering from complex systems with numerous bulky opto-electro-mechanical elements …

Two-dimensional (2D) layered semiconductors are appealing materials for high-specific-
power photovoltaic systems due to their unique optoelectronic properties. The 2D materials …

Vacancy is an important element affecting the photogalvanic effect (PGE). However, the role
of different vacancies on the PGE photocurrent remains unnoticed. This research has …

Photogalvanic effect (PGE) enables a self-powered and highly polarization-sensitive
ultraviolet photodetection (UV-PHD), however the photocurrent generated in the PGE is …

The photogalvanic effect (PGE) occurring in noncentrosymmetric materials enables the
generation of an open-circuit voltage that is much larger than the bandgap, making it rather …

Photodetectors based on anisotropic materials are attracting lots of attention. This research
systematically investigates the anisotropic photoresponse of photodetectors based on the …

Out-of-plane spin tunneling through the two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals CrI 3 multilayer
has recently been deeply explored, and giant magnetoresistance has been achieved in …

Semiconducting monolayer Mo Si 2 N 4 and monolayer WSi 2 N 4 have recently been
fabricated and a number of two-dimensional (2D) materials with the same chemical formula …

The first-principles calculation is applied to investigate the photocurrents elicited by the
circular photogalvanic effect (CPGE) and linear photogalvanic effect (LPGE) of monolayer …
