The electronic structure of clean InN(0001) surfaces has been investigated by high-resolution electron-energy-loss spectroscopy the conduction band electron plasmon excitations. An intrinsic surface accumulation layer is found to exist and explained in terms a particularly low Gamma-point minimum wurtzite InN. As result, Fermi level pinning high vicinity Gamma point, but near average midgap energy, produces charged donor-type states with associated downward bending. Semiclassical dielectric...

Antibiotic resistance has made the treatment of biofilm-related infections challenging. As such, quest for next-generation antimicrobial technologies must focus on targeted therapies to which pathogenic bacteria cannot develop resistance. Stimuli-responsive represent an alternative technological due their capability delivering treatment. This study provides a proof-of-concept investigation into use magneto-responsive gallium-based liquid metal (LM) droplets as antibacterial materials, can...
Water is a unique solvent that ubiquitous in biology and present variety of solutions, mixtures, materials settings. It therefore forms the basis for all molecular dynamics simulations biological phenomena, as well many chemical, industrial, investigations. Over years, water models have been developed, it remains challenge to find single model accurately reproduces experimental properties simultaneously. Here, we report comprehensive comparison structural dynamic 30 commonly used 3-point,...
We present a simple alternative pathway to transform carbon dioxide perpetually stored solid carbon.
High-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, infrared reflectivity and Hall effect measurements, combined with surface space-charge calculations, are used to show that electron accumulation occurs at the of undoped single-crystalline In2O3. From a combination measurements performed on heavily Sn-doped samples, charge neutrality level is shown lie approximately 0.4 eV above conduction band minimum in In2O3, explaining material, propensity for n-type conductivity, ease doping hence its...
The origin of electron accumulation at wurtzite InN surfaces is explained in terms the bulk band structure. Ab initio calculations electronic structure reveal an unusually low conduction minimum $\ensuremath{\Gamma}$-point. As a result, branch point energy, ${\mathrm{E}}_{B},$ which crossover from donor-type to acceptor-type surface states, located This allows states exist band. emit their electrons into band, thus giving rise surface. Experimental measurements, probing plasma, confirm...
The bandgap and band-edge effective mass of single crystal cadmium oxide, epitaxially grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy, are determined from infrared reflectivity, ultraviolet/visible absorption, Hall effect measurements.

This has important implications for controversial issue of origins conductivity transparent conducting oxides.
Abstract Two-dimensional piezotronics will benefit from the emergence of new crystals featuring high piezoelectric coefficients. Gallium phosphate (GaPO 4 ) is an archetypal material, which does not naturally crystallise in a stratified structure and hence cannot be exfoliated using conventional methods. Here, we report low-temperature liquid metal-based two-dimensional printing synthesis strategy to achieve this goal. We exfoliate surface print interfacial oxide layer gallium, followed by...

Atomically thin materials face an ongoing challenge of scalability, hampering practical deployment despite their fascinating properties. Tin monosulfide (SnS), a low-cost, naturally abundant layered material with tunable bandgap, displays properties superior carrier mobility and large absorption coefficient at atomic thicknesses, making it attractive for electronics optoelectronics. However, the lack successful synthesis techniques to prepare large-area stoichiometric atomically SnS layers...
