Reversible Modulation of Thermal Conductivity in GaN via Strain-Driven Reorganization of Dislocation Ensembles
Shantal Adajian, Fanghao Zhang, Zeyu Xiang +5
Crystalline defects are generally regarded as static phonon scatterers that irreversibly suppress thermal transport. Here we show that elastic strain can dynamically and reversibly…
Coupled Spin-lattice Dynamics across a Magnetostructural Phase Transition
Lokanath Patra, Zeyu Xiang, Yubi Chen +1
First-order magnetostructural phase transitions underpin giant magnetocaloric effects, yet the microscopic role of lattice dynamics in these transitions remains controversial. Here…
Thermal conductivity of boron arsenide above 2100 watts per meter per Kelvin at room temperature
Ange Benise Niyikiza, Zeyu Xiang, Fanghao Zhang +6
Boron arsenide (BAs) single crystals had been previously reported to have thermal conductivity of 1500 W/mK at room temperature. Now we achieved thermal conductivity above 2100 W/m…
High-throughput Discovery of Anti-gap Semiconductors
Zeyu Xiang, Fanghao Zhang, Bolin Liao
Conventional semiconductors typically have bonding states near the valence band maximum (VBM) and antibonding states near the conduction band minimum (CBM). Semiconductors with the…
