Electrically switchable valley polarization, spin/valley filter, and valve effects in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers interfaced with two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors
Ao Zhang, Kaike Yang, Yun Zhang +2
Electron valleys in transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers drive novel physics and allow designing multifunctional architectures for applications. We propose to manipulate the…
s-d coupling enhanced phonon anharmonicity in copper-based compounds
Kaike Yang, Huai Yang, Yujia Sun +7
Materials with ultralow thermal conductivity are of great interest for efficient energy conversion and thermal barrier coating. Copper-based semiconductors such as copper chalcogen…
A realistic dimension-independent approach for charged defect calculations in semiconductors

First-principles calculations of charged defects have become a cornerstone of research in semiconductors and insulators by providing insights into their fundamental physical proper…
Calculations of point defects in the layered MX2 (M=Mo, W; X=S, Te): Substitution by the groups III, V and VII elements
Dan Guo, Kaike Yang, Tao Shen +5
Dopability in semiconductors plays a crucial role in device performance. Using the first-principles density-functional theory calculations, we investigate systematically the doping…
Phonon-Driven Electron Scattering and Magnetothermoelectric Effect in Two-Dimensional Tin Selenide
Kaike Yang, Ji-Chang Ren, Hongfei Qiu +1
The bulk tin selenide (SnSe) is the best thermoelectric material currently with the highest figure-of-merit due to the strong phonon-phonon interactions. We investigate the effect…
Resonant splitting in periodic T-shape photonic waveguides
Wenjin Yin, Kaike Yang, Yuee Xie +2
Resonant splitting phenomena of photons in periodic T-shape waveguide structure are investigated by the Green's function method. It is found that, except for the (n-1)-fold resonan…
Density Functional Theory of the Seebeck coefficient in the Coulomb blockade regime
Kaike Yang, Enrico Perfetto, Stefan Kurth +2
The Seebeck coefficient plays a fundamental role in identifying the efficiency of a thermoelectric device. Its theoretical evaluation for atomistic models is routinely based on Den…
Thermoelectric properties of atomic-thin silicene and germanene nano-structures

Classical to quantum transition of near-field heat transfer between two nanoparticles
Shiyun Xiong, Kaike Yang, Yuriy A. Kosevich +4
Heat transfer between two silica clusters is investigated by using the non-equilibrium Green's function method. In the gap range between 4 Å and three times the cluster size, the t…
Enhanced thermoelectric properties in hybrid graphene-boron nitride nanoribbons
Kaike Yang, Yuanping Chen, Roberto D'Agosta +3
The thermoelectric properties of hybrid graphene-boron nitride nanoribbons (BCNNRs) are investigated using the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) approach. We find that the th…
