Abstract A general approach to promote IR light-driven CO 2 reduction within ultrathin Cu-based hydrotalcite-like hydroxy salts is presented. Associated band structures and optical properties of the materials are first predicted by theory. Subsequently, Cu 4 (SO )(OH) 6 nanosheets were synthesized found undergo cascaded electron transfer processes based on d - orbital transitions under infrared light irradiation. The obtained samples exhibit excellent activity for reduction, with a...
We explore the effect of charge carrier doping on ferroelectricity using density functional calculations and phenomenological modeling. By considering a prototypical ferroelectric material, ${\mathrm{BaTiO}}_{3}$, we demonstrate that displacements are sustained up to critical concentration 0.11 electron per unit cell volume. This result is consistent with experimental observations reveals phase conductivity can coexist. Our investigations show instability requires only short-range portion...

Realizing a large tunneling electroresistance (TER) effect is crucial for device application of ferroelectric tunnel junctions (FTJs). FTJs are typically composed thin layer sandwiched by two metallic electrodes, where TER generally results from the dependence effective barrier height on polarization. Since resistance depends exponentially not only but also width, expected to be greatly enhanced when one electrodes semiconductor depletion region near interface can controlled via To explore...

Among various developed CO2RR catalysts, Nickel-Based materials have garnered increasing...
In doped transition metal dichalcogenides, optically created excitons (bound electron-hole pairs) can strongly interact with a Fermi sea of electrons to form polaron quasiparticles. When there are two distinct seas, as is the case in WSe$_2$, flavors lowest-energy (attractive) polarons -- singlet and triplet where exciton coupled same or opposite valley, respectively. Using two-dimensional coherent electronic spectroscopy, we analyze how their quantum decoherence evolves doping density...
