Compositional gradient engineering for enhanced ferroelectricity in ultrathin AlScN

Zekun Hu, Haiwen Zhang, Rajeev Kumar Rai +12

Ferroelectric AlScN is promising for CMOS-compatible non-volatile memory, but thickness scaling is limited by leakage, premature breakdown, and defect-mediated failure. Here we sho…

Ultraviolet Exciton-Polaritons in Silver Phenylthiolate

Bongjun Choi, Bonnie Chen, Thuc T. Mai +8

Ultraviolet (UV) exciton-polaritons (EPs) enable nonlinear optics, polaritonic lasing, and polariton-mediated photochemistry in the short-wavelength regime, yet progress has been l…

Understanding Optical Anisotropy in Multilayer γ-InSe and ε-GaSe

Jason Lynch, Zexuan Liu, Sergiy Krylyuk +3

Low-dimensional media have exhibited optical anisotropy that is unachievable in traditional 3D media due to the asymmetry of their strong, in-plane covalent bonds and weak out-of-p…
