Structure and Electronic Properties of InSb Nanowires Grown in Flexible Polycarbonate Membranes (open access)

Structure and Electronic Properties of InSb Nanowires Grown in Flexible Polycarbonate Membranes

The article explores the various factors that affect nucleation and nanowire growth. A dense array of vertically aligned indium antimonide (InSb) nanowires with high aspect ratio were grown in the pores of a track-etched polycarbonate membrane via a one-step electrochemical method.

Coordination corrected ab initio formation enthalpies (open access)

Coordination corrected ab initio formation enthalpies

Article proposes the “coordination corrected enthalpies” method (CCE), based on the number of nearest neighbor cation–anion bonds, and also capable of correcting relative stability of polymorphs.

Absorption and emission modulation in a MoS2–GaN (0001) heterostructure by interface phonon–exciton coupling (open access)

Absorption and emission modulation in a MoS2–GaN (0001) heterostructure by interface phonon–exciton coupling

Article reporting the change in the transient absorption characteristics of monolayer MoS2 and the modified PL emission characteristics in a monolayer MoS2–GaN (0001) heterostructure due to the coupling of carriers with the phonon modes and the energy exchange at the interface. The results demonstrate the relevance of interface coupling between the semiconductors for the development of optical and electronic applications.

AFLOW-QHA3P: Robust and automated method to compute thermodynamic properties of solids (open access)

AFLOW-QHA3P: Robust and automated method to compute thermodynamic properties of solids

Article introducing the quasiharmonic approximation three-phonon method to calculate the thermodynamic properties of both nonmetallic and metallic compounds. This study demonstrates that QHA3P is an ideal framework for the high-throughput prediction of finite-temperature material properties, combining the accuracy of QHA with the computational efficiency of SC-QHA.
