Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) graphene would find great applications in industrial graphene-based electronics recently. Most importantly, the one-dimensional constriction of CVD graphene due to its grain boundaries and merged domains revealing interesting interference effects, like Aharonov-Bohm effect. Such interesting interference transport behavior can be revealed by low-temperature scanning gate microscopy (LT-SGM) and be numerical simulated about the dynamic transport point of view by mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii equation. In order to realize graphene-based quantum transport device, our results suggested that the supplying additional thermal current could flood into the grain boundaries and merged domains in one-dimensional quantum confined CVD graphene so as to suppress the interference effect, a great discovery for graphene-based materials coherent electronic devices.
With the tremendous increase in the photovoltaic (PV) power plants world-wide remarkable decreases in their installation prices per watt are attained mainly due to economic scale effect. This brings questioning to inc...

The performance of single-junction mixed-halide perovskite-based solar cells is limited by thermalization and spectral losses. With advanced device architectures, the perovskite/perovskite heterostructure, where two or more photoactive layers are stacked together, can help to minimize these losses. In this work, we conformally transfer printed a narrow-band-gap perovskite over a spin-coated wide-band-gap perovskite layer to form a perovskite/perovskite heterostructure. This heterostructure results in broader spectral coverage and the higher position of the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) level of MAPbBrxI3-x compared to MA0.7FA0.3Pb0.5Sn0.5I3, forming a cascaded energy level alignment between photoactive layers. Additionally, direct evidence of improved morphology has been observed with the transfer-printing technique in heterostructure formation. The bottom layer provides favorable assistance for the growth of the top perovskite near the interface with good coverage and maintains the quality of the film. Thus, the increased crystallinity and reduced grain boundaries lead to less defects. This reduction played a key role in suppressing recombination losses at the interfaces, ultimately leading to improved device performance. These inherent properties have a positive impact on the photovoltaic response of the device, resulting in broader spectral response and power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 14.76% in the heterostructure device. A notable improvement is achieved compared to control single-junction devices, which typically have a PCE of nearly 10% with printed-Sn and 12% with spin-Br-based devices. Moreover, the heterostructure-based device exhibits high stability, retaining almost 80% of its initial PCE value for almost 1000 h with proper encapsulation. Our technique can be utilized for designing low-temperature and solution-processed stacked layers, applicable for optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), sensors, and transist

The advancement of graphene has created a need in exploring its properties for different applications. One way to explore its properties is by reducing its hydrophobicity. To overcome hydrophobicity of graphene, surfactants have been used in functionalization, hence improving the surface properties of the graphene monolayer. Therefore, investigating surfactant treatment for CVD graphene becomes useful in understanding the surface property effects on graphene. This study utilizes CVD graphene on silicon substrates. Its treatment was done with varying concentrations of Sodium Cholate (SC) for different treatment times. These samples were then characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) to investigate the surface properties of the samples before and after treatment. To be optimized, the graphene must remain attached to the silicon substrate. The result shows that the integrity of the graphene, which is basically the Sp2 structure, is preserved as there was no delamination from the substrate even after treatment for as long as 2 hours in 1% weight/volume concentration of the SC solution.

Recent reports have demonstrated the Z2 topological property of the superconductor PbTaSe2 (Tc∼3.8 K). PbTaSe2 simultaneously exhibits superconductivity and nontrivial Z2 topology without the need for doping or proximity effect. Scanning tunneling microscopy confirms that the topological surface states are gapped by superconductivity, indicating the likelihood of the chiral px+ipy pairing mechanism. Motivated by these exciting findings, we predict by means of the first-principles scheme that ABSe2 (A=Pb or Sn and B=Ta or Nb) is also a superconductor with nontrivial Z2 topology. Among these, SnNbSe2 shows the highest Tc∼7.0 K. Due to the fact that the required energy resolution to detect the Majorana bound states is of the order of Δ2/ɛF, the predicted higher Tc of ABSe2 may help mitigate some experimental challenges and provides a better platform for the exploration of the topological superconductivity.
