Ruddlesden-Popper chalcogenides push the limit of mechanical stiffness and glass-like thermal conductivity in single crystals
Md Shafkat Bin Hoque, Eric R. Hoglund, Boyang Zhao +20
Insulating materials featuring ultralow thermal conductivity for diverse applications also require robust mechanical properties. Conventional thinking, however, which correlates st…
Photoconductive Effects in Single Crystals of BaZrS
Boyang Zhao, Huandong Chen, Ragib Ahsan +11
Chalcogenide perovskites, such as BaZrS, are emerging semiconductors with potential for high photovoltaic power conversion efficiency. The role of defects in the efficiency of…
Giant Modulation of Refractive Index from Picoscale Atomic Displacements
Boyang Zhao, Guodong Ren, Hongyan Mei +21
Structural disorder has been shown to enhance and modulate magnetic, electrical, dipolar, electrochemical, and mechanical properties of materials. However, the possibility of obtai…
Colossal optical anisotropy from atomic-scale modulations
Hongyan Mei, Guodong Ren, Boyang Zhao +17
In modern optics, materials with large birefringence (Δn, where n is the refractive index) are sought after for polarization control (e.g. in wave plates, polarizing beam splitters…
