Functionalized graphene has been extensively studied with the aim of tailoring properties for gas sensors, superconductors, supercapacitors, nanoelectronics, and spintronics. A bottleneck is capability to control carrier type density by doping. We demonstrate that a two-step process an efficient way dope graphene: create vacancies high-energy atom/ion bombardment fill these desired dopants. Different elements (Pt, Co, In) have successfully doped in single-atom form. The high binding energy...

Adaptive camouflage in thermal imaging, a form of cloaking technology capable blending naturally into the surrounding environment, has been great challenge past decades. Emissivity engineering for is regarded as more promising way compared to merely temperature controlling that dissipate large amount excessive heat. However, practical devices with an active modulation emissivity have yet be well explored. In this letter we demonstrate device efficient radiance control, which consists...
Dense networks of deformation twins endow metals and alloys with unprecedented mechanical properties. However, the formation mechanism these hierarchical twin structures remains under debate, especially their relations imperfect nature boundaries (TBs). Here, we investigate intrinsic deformability defective TBs in face-centered cubic metallic materials, where inherent kinks on a set primary are demonstrated to facilitate secondary nanotwins. This defect-driven twinning propensity is...
Abstract Conventional material processing approaches often achieve strengthening of materials at the cost reduced ductility. Here, we show that high-pressure and high-temperature (HPHT) treatment can help overcome strength-ductility trade-off in structural materials. We report an initially strong-yet-brittle eutectic high entropy alloy simultaneously doubling its strength to 1150 MPa tensile ductility 36% after HPHT treatment. Such synergy is attributed HPHT-induced formation a...

Abstract Advanced nanodevices require reliable nanocomponents where mechanically-induced irreversible structural damage should be largely prevented. However, a practical methodology to improve the plastic reversibility of nanosized metals remains challenging. Here, we propose grain boundary (GB) engineering protocol realize controllable in metallic nanocrystals. Both situ nanomechanical testing and atomistic simulations demonstrate that custom-designed low-angle GBs with controlled...
Metals containing abundant coherent twin boundaries (TBs) are able to sustain substantial plastic deformation without fracture due shear-induced TB migration and sliding. Retaining ductility in these metals, however, has proven difficult because detwinning rapidly exhausts mechanisms at large deformation, whereas sliding was only evidenced for loading on very specific crystallographic orientations. Here, we reveal the intrinsic shear deformability of twins nanocrystals using situ...
Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising in channel length scaling of field-effect transistors (FETs) due to their excellent gate electrostatics. However, contact still remains a significant challenge because the sharply raised resistance and deteriorated metal conductivity at nanoscale. Here, we construct 1D semimetal-2D semiconductor by employing single-walled carbon nanotube electrodes, which can push into sub-2 nm region. Such 1D–2D heterostructures exhibit smaller van...

Developing highly active photocatalysts that can directly utilize clean, cheap, and sustainable solar energy to achieve an efficient carbon dioxide (CO2) cycloaddition reaction under mild conditions (1 bar of CO2) remains a great challenge. In this paper, 2D/2D ZnIn2S4/Zn-NC S-scheme heterojunction composites were constructed by the in situ growth layered ZnIn2S4 on surface two-dimensional (2D) ZIF-L-derived Znδ+ (0 ≤ δ 2) N codoped skeletons (Zn-NC-T) via low-temperature solvothermal...
Grain boundaries (GBs) serve not only as strong barriers to dislocation motion, but also important carriers accommodate plastic deformation in crystalline solids. During deformation, the inherent excess volume associated with loose atomic packing GBs brings about a microscopic degree of freedom that can initiate GB plasticity, which is beyond classic geometric description GBs. However, identification this atomistic process has long remained elusive due its transient nature. Here, we use Au...
