Forming perovskite films with ALD from a seed layer
Researchers have formed perovskite films from a seed layer grown with atomic layer deposition, an standard technology for dielectric materials.
Superconductivity in layered iron germanide
Yang Zou and co-workers have found evidence for superconductivity in YFe2Ge2 with an unusual power-law temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity.
Etching doped silicon to produce perfect plasmonic absorbers
Cheng, et al. have created a broadband perfect absorber for terahertz waves by etching doped silicon to form micro-scale resonant cavities.
Acid-resistant epoxy resin trips up decomposition
An acid resistant, terphenyl-based liquid crystalline epoxy resin is described by Prof. Miyuki Harada’s team at Kansai University.
Two-dimensional materials: electronic structure and many-body effects
Special issue, guest-edited by F. Guinea, M. I. Katsnelson, and T. O. Wehling, is focused on electronic structure and other properties of 2D materials.
Improved MoS2 catalysts for hydrogen production
New research has found that “edge-free” monolayer MoS2 films supported by 3D nanoporous gold possess outstanding catalytic activity,
3D isotropic metamaterials fabricated
A collaborative team of researchers has reported pioneering work to create an isotropic infrared metamaterial consisting of 3D metallic nanostructures.
Si-doped graphene sensors developed
The Terrones group at The Pennsylvania State University in the US has reported a controlled technique able to dope graphene with silicon atoms.
Random nanostructures make better flexible electronics
Nanostructuring improves optical confinement and limited light out-coupling efficiency from by the mismatched refractive indices of media in devices.
