01
Julisa Juarez, Akash Dasgupta, Alan Zhan et al.
Studying real-time degradation in perovskite semiconductors remains an important challenge. Conventional methods often cannot separate interfacial and bulk processes or rely on destructive analysis. Here, we demonstrate multiwavelength e...

Viren Tyagi, Geert Brocks, Shuxia Tao
Passivating defects and restricting defect mobilities in halide perovskites to increase device lifetimes has become a main field of research. Modeling structure and mobility of point defects is an essential contribution to this endeavor....
05
Daiki Asakawa, Akira Matsugi
Secondary fragmentation of substituted benzylpyridinium “thermometer ions” has been observed previously, but they have not been used as quantitative probes for internal energy calibration. Here, we demonstrate that the secondary fragment...
07
Cansu Akkaya, Julian Oberdisse, Johan G. Alauzun et al.
The reimpregnation, i.e., replacement of the soft-templating ionic liquid (IL, BMIM-TFSI) that forms the porosity during the synthesis of disordered mesoporous silica-based (ionosilica) materials, has been studied by an original combinat...

Xingfei Wei, Manuel Palma Banos, Rigoberto Hernandez
Developing physical neural network (PNN) hardwares is important to next-generation artificial intelligence systems. Phononic devices─using heat current to encode and process information─is one of the solutions to neuromorphic computing. ...

Jiaxuan Wang, Zhaojun Zhang, Shu Liu et al.
The stretch excited Cl + CHD3(vCH = 1) → HCl + CD3 reaction is experimentally known to involve resonances supported by a significant chemical bond-softening vibrational adiabatic potential well located at the transition state; however, t...

Tiantian Tong, Xiaowei Ren, Jie Hu et al.
High-order harmonic generation (HHG) in liquids has attracted considerable attention, yet the fundamental processes responsible for the liquid-related differences are still not well elucidated. Here we systematically investigate the liqu...
