We report a configuration strategy for improving the thermoelectric (TE) performance of two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) WS2 based on the experimentally prepared WS2/WSe2 lateral superlattice (LS) crystal. On the…
We report on S-doping of ZnSb for S concentrations ranging from 0.02 at% to 2.5 at%. There are no previous reports on S-doping. ZnSb is a thermoelectric material with some advantages for the temperature range 400 K - 600 K. The solid…
We report a reinvestigation of superconducting Sn$_{1-x}$In$_{x}$Te at both low and high In doping levels. Analysis of the superconductivity reveals a fundamental change as a function of \textit{x}: the system evolves from a weakly coupled…
Thermoelectric materials operating at cryogenic temperatures are in high demand for efficient cooling and power generation in applications ranging from superconductors to quantum computing. The narrow band-gap semiconductor FeSb2, known for…
For the past few years, 2D ferroelectric materials have attracted strong interest for their potential in future nanoelectronics devices. The recent discovery of 2D ferroelectricity in twisted layers of insulating hexagonal boron nitride,…
The rise of topological insulators in recent years has broken new ground both in the conceptual cognition of condensed matter physics and the promising revolution of the electronic devices. It also stimulates the explorations of more…
In the hole-doped cuprate superconductors, the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ exhibits a dome-like feature against the doping rate. By contrast, recent experiments reveal that $T_c$ in the electron-doped systems monotonically…
We investigate how field-effect doping affects the structural properties, the electronic structure and the Hall coefficient of few-layers transition metal dichalcogenides by using density-functional theory. We consider mono-, bi-, and…
A new doping mechanism is described, whereby a doping impurity does not simply transfer charge to the bands of a host semiconductor or semimetal, but rearranges the core energy levels deep in the valence band of the host. This, in turn,…
Scanning tunneling microscopy and transport measurements have been performed to investigate the electronic structure and its temperature dependence in heavily Sr and Na codoped PbTe, which is recognized as one of the most promising…
