The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

Solid oxide cells (SOCs) have the potential to be the most efficient energy storage and
conversion systems. To minimize energy loss due to charge and mass transport associated …

Spin–momentum locking in the Dirac surface state of a topological insulator (TI),,,,, offers a
distinct possibility for highly efficient charge-to-spin current (C–S) conversion compared with …

Our review provides a comprehensive overview on the latest progress in pulsed-laser
deposition (PLD) of 2D layered materials (2DLMs), and its application in photoelectric …

The kagome lattice has long been regarded as a theoretical framework that connects lattice
geometry to unusual singularities in electronic structure. Transition metal kagome …

Value-added chemical production via electrocatalysis is of great significance in green
chemical society, the industrialization of which, however, is restricted by its low profit …

Topological insulators (TIs) represent a novel quantum state of matter, characterized by
edge or surface-states, showing up on the topological character of the bulk wave functions …

Geometry, both in momentum and in real space, plays an important role in the electronic
dynamics of condensed matter systems. Among them, the Berry phase associated with …

Topological crystalline insulators in IV–VI compounds host novel topological surface states
consisting of multi-valley massless Dirac fermions at low energy. Here we show that strain …

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) manifest excellent phonon-limited mobility and
strong light–matter interaction, which, however, conflict with the long response time and low …
