Thermoelectric materials and their devices can realize the solid-state energy conversion
between thermal and electrical energy, therefore serving as a promising alternative to …

Using compressive mechanical forces, such as pressure, to induce crystallographic phase
transitions and mesostructural changes while modulating material properties in …

For calculating thermal conductivity (TC) of the nonsuperionic β-Ag 2 Se, we used the
computational framework that combined molecular dynamics simulations using interatomic …

Structural polymorphism is known for many bulk materials; however, on the nanoscale
metastable polymorphs tend to form more readily than in the bulk, and with more structural …

Conspectus Macrocyclic ligands have been extensively applied to recognize single metal
ions with high selectivity and good affinity based on the size-match principle. The resulting …

Abstract Introduction of Two-Dimensional (2D) photocatalysts for solar water splitting has
attracted significant attention in recent years, due to their considerably large surface areas …

We study two-dimensional noble metal chalcogenides, with compositions {Cu, Ag, Au} 2 {S,
Se, Te}, crystallizing in a snub-square lattice. This is a semiregular two-dimensional …

The results of calculations of the electron structure for Ag2S and Ag2Se crystals from first-
principle in the framework of density functional theory (DFT) are presented in this work. The …

Methodologies that involve the use of nanoparticles as “artificial atoms” to rationally build
materials in a bottom-up fashion are particularly well-suited to control the matter at the …

Research on topological and topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) is one of the most
intense and exciting topics due to its fascinating fundamental science and potential …
