Modern electronic devices are moving toward miniaturization and integration. Therefore, achieving electrical control of magnetization effectively in one‐dimensional materials represents a promising field for the practical applications in memory elements. In this study, it is discovered, from first‐principles calculations, that an electric‐field‐tunable bipolar linear magnetoelectric effect can be realized in one‐dimensional antiferromagnet based on double‐Gd‐adsorbed graphene nanoribbon with four zigzag carbon chains (2Gd‐4ZGNR). We find that, compared with the bare 4ZGNR, the adsorption of two Gd atoms on the 4ZGNR reduces the bandgap. As a result, 2Gd‐4ZGNR transits from antiferromagnetic semiconductor to ferrimagnetic metal at a relatively low critical external transverse (perpendicular) electric field, where the net magnetic moment can be induced. The antiferromagnetism and inversion‐symmetrical crystal structure further allow to realize a bipolar linear magnetoelectric effect, where the 2Gd‐4ZGNR form two groups of independent linear magnetic response states, acting as a magnetoelectric memory element.This article is protected by copyright.

The phenomenon of hot carriers, which are generated through the nonradiative decay of surface plasmons in ultrathin metallic films, offers an intriguing opportunity for sub‐bandgap photodetection even at room temperature. These hot carriers possess sufficient energy to inject into the conduction band of a semiconductor material. The groundbreaking use of Iridium (Ir) ultrathin film as an ultraviolet (UV) plasmonic material on silicon (Si) for high‐performance photodetectors (PHDs) has been successfully demonstrated. Elevating the thickness of the sputtered Ir film to 4 nm yielded a notable surge in photocurrent, registering an impressive 600 µA under 365 nm UV illumination with electron mobility of 1.37E3 cm²/V·s. This PHD exhibited excellent OFF‐ON Photoresponses at various applied voltages ranging from 0 V to 5 V, maintaining a stable photocurrent. Under UV illumination, it displayed exceptional performance, achieving a high detectivity of 1.25E14 Jones and a responsivity of 1.28 A/W. These outstanding results underscore the significant advantages of increasing the thickness of the Ir film in PHDs, leading to improvements in conductivity, detectivity, external quantum efficiency, responsivity, as well as superior sensitivity for light detection.This article is protected by copyright.

Unidirectional magnetic anisotropy induced by exchange bias (EB) between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic layers is of paramount importance in various spintronic devices. Traditional setting and optimization of EB involves cooling through the Néel temperature of the antiferromagnets under biasing field in vacuum furnace which takes hours of time and could not realize localized control of EB. Here, we report an alternative process to configure EB by injection of microsecond current impulse for locally heating of the heterostructure. 180‐degree exchange bias switching has been realized in both anisotropic magnetoresistance and giant magnetoresistance units, resulting in tunable magnetic field sensing functionalities. This mechanism for pinpoint control of EB provides more freedom for design and optimization of various sensing and logic spintronics.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Nano‐ and microcrystals of diamond are attractive for optical thermometry applications and possess unique optical properties as well as high chemical stability and biocompatibility. For biological application there are interest of diamonds with color centers that emit in the biological transparency window. One such defect is nickel‐related color centers that radiate in the near‐infrared range (1.4‐eV Ni centers), but have not yet been sufficiently investigated. This study reports the optical characteristics of HPHT diamond microcrystals with average sizes of 4 μm and 30 μm containing 1.4‐eV Ni centers. The temperature dependence of the spectral and temporal properties of Ni center emissions in the range from room temperature to 85 °C was demonstrated and thereby the possibility of appliance these centers as temperature sensors. The relative temperature sensitivities of luminescence peak intensity and lifetime for Ni centers were found to be 1.3% K−1 and 0.42% K−1, respectively. Moreover, the temperature determination accuracy reached better than 1 K.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Cs3Bi2I9 (CBI) is a promising material for direct X‐ray detectors. However, for the solution method, due to the difference in the chemical potential of Cs+, Bi3+, I‐ ions in the solvent, the composition of Cs3Bi2I9 single crystals (SC) prepared by the solution method often deviates from the stoichiometric ratio, resulting in the formation of many defects in the material, which degrades the quality of the SC. In this work, Br‐ and Cl‐ were used as dopants to produce CBI SCs by the top seed solution method. It can be speculated that the dopant ions could reduce the VI defects in the CBI by means of density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The carrier lifetimes of CBI SCs doped with Br‐ and Cl‐ have been increased to 41.7 ns and 13.0 ns, respectively. Meanwhile, the defect densities of the SCs were reduced to 1.02×109 cm‐3 and 1.85×109 cm‐3, respectively. X‐ray detectors based on Br‐doped CBI and Cl‐doped CBI SCs exhibited high X‐ray sensitivity of 23071.3 μC Gyair ‐1cm‐2 and 18525.3 μC Gyair ‐1cm‐2 at an electric field of 40 V mm‐1, respectively. In addition, the X‐ray detection limit reaches 1.07 nGyairs‐1 and 1.35 nGyairs‐1 at an electric field of 2.5 V mm‐1, respectively.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
Cs3Bi2I9 (CBI)是一种很有前途的X射线直接探测器材料。然而,溶液法制备的Cs3Bi2I9单晶(SC)由于溶剂中Cs+、Bi3+、I‐离子的化学势不同,其组成往往偏离化学计量比,导致材料中形成许多缺陷,从而降低了SC的质量。本研究以Br‐和Cl‐为掺杂剂,采用top seed溶液法制备了CBI SC。通过密度泛函理论(DFT)计算可以推测,掺杂离子可以减少CBI中的VI缺陷。掺入Br‐和Cl‐的CBI SCs的载流子寿命分别提高到41.7 ns和13.0 ns。同时,sc的缺陷密度分别降至1.02×109 cm‐3和1.85×109 cm‐3。基于Br掺杂CBI和Cl掺杂CBI sc的X射线探测器在40 V mm‐1电场下分别表现出23071.3 μC Gyair‐1cm‐2和18525.3 μC Gyair‐1cm‐2的高X射线灵敏度。此外,在2.5 V mm‐1电场下,X射线检测极限分别达到1.07和1.35 nGyairs‐1。这篇文章受版权保护。版权所有。

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures based on two‐dimensional materials and conventional group IV semiconductors have shown great potential for wide spectrum, highly sensitive photodetectors owing to their broadband absorption, high‐quality interface, and compatibility with complementary metal‐oxide‐semiconductor (CMOS) technology. Here, we propose a unique heterojunction phototransistor composed of an indium tin oxide (ITO) capped p‐WSe2/n‐Ge vdW heterojunction serving as the emitter and an annular shallow‐trench Al/Ge Schottky junction acting as the collector. The mixed‐dimensional phototransistor exhibiting high responsivities up to 66 A W‐1 at 405 nm and 124 A W‐1 at 1550 nm demonstrates a brilliant wide spectrum response performance. The high photocurrent gain can be attributed to the extra‐large carrier injection ratio of the heterojunction. The short transient response time in the order of 100 µs is achieved with the modified lateral electrical field by the annular shallow‐trench Schottky barrier collector. The combination of p‐WSe2/n‐Ge vdW heterojunction and the annular shallow‐trench Al/n‐Ge Schottky junction renders a low‐cost, high‐performance photodetector fabricated in a simple and CMOS compatible way for visible to short wave infrared (SWIR) broadband detection.This article is protected by copyright.

Phonon polaritons (PhPs) in two‐dimensional van der Waals (vdW) crystals exhibit strong spatial confinement and long polariton lifetimes, making them promising for developing novel nanophotonic devices at mid‐infrared frequencies. Here, using α‐phase molybdenum trioxide (α‐MoO3) microdisks, we have demonstrated in‐plane anisotropic PhP resonances with degree of polarization (DoP) of almost 100% from far field observation. Such in‐plane polarization‐dependent PhP resonances, originating from the anisotropic crystal structure of α‐MoO3, are readily tuned by the disk length and fits well to numerical simulations. Our findings show new possibility for engineering in‐plane polarizers based on vdW crystals and may promote the development of functional polarization‐sensitive optoelectronic devices at mid‐infrared frequencies.This article is protected by copyright.

The high density of two‐dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in InAlN/AlN/GaN heterostructures results in significant occupation of higher subbands, it is thus imperative to consider multi‐subband occupation and inter‐subband scattering in the calculations of polar optical phonon (POP) scattering. The physical parameters, such as subband energies, wave functions of the four lowest subbands, and Fermi level of InAlN/AlN/GaN heterostructures, are calculated by solving the Schrödinger‐Poisson equations and applied to the multi‐subband POP scattering model. The dependence of mobility, which is limited by multi‐subband POP scattering, on temperature and 2DEG density is studied. The results show that multi‐subband occupation and inter‐subband scattering play important roles in electron transport. The higher subbands contribute 26% to room‐temperature electron mobility. Two simplified POP scattering models, which either ignore multi‐subband occupation or simplify the in‐scattering processes are evaluated. The results show that both simplified models introduce significant deviations in the mobilities that are limited by POP scattering. The relative magnitudes of mobility in each subband depend on the energy dependence of momentum relaxation time and the energy distribution of each subband.This article is protected by copyright.

A Fano resonator using black phosphorus, capable of tuning the operating band while possessing high sensitivity, is proposed. A ring and a groove are respectively etched above and below the main channel to produce the Fano resonance, resulting in a highly sensitive Fano resonator. Such a sensor can capture slight changes in the surrounding environment. Moreover, adding black phosphorus into the ring above the channel and into the groove below the channel, the electron doping of black phosphorus can be altered to adjust the resonant frequency of the Fano resonator. The shiftable frequency of the Fano resonator designed herein can reach 57 GHz at the second‐order resonance around 1.895 THz, an ability highly attractive in fields that require high sensitivity and adjustability. It is essential in the area of integrated electronics, offers fresh perspectives for innovations in integrated electronic gadgets, and paves the way for flexible terahertz systems.

Ge2Sb2Te5 thin film is investigated as a positive heat‐mode resist and environmentally‐friendlily FeCl3 solution is as means an efficient developer. The corrosion selectivity of exposed to as‐deposited thin film reaches 2.3 and the etching selectivity of Si to Ge2Sb2Te5 thin film is as high as 15.75. Moreover, high‐resolution nanostructures with minimum linewidth of 180 nm and period of 400 nm are obtained along with high resolution of 130 nm. In addition, the mechanism of corrosion selectivity between as‐deposited and exposed thin film is further elucidated based on microstructural analysis. Hence, Ge2Sb2Te5 thin film is a promising positive resist for high‐resolution direct laser writing lithography.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
