Prediction and accelerated laboratory discovery of previously unknown 18-electron ABX compounds
Romain Gautier, Xiuwen Zhang, Linhua Hu +6
Chemists and material scientists have often focused on the properties of previously reported compounds, leaving out numerous unreported but chemically plausible compounds that coul…
Electric Field Induced Topological Phase Transition in Two-Dimensional Few-layer Black Phosphorus
Qihang Liu, Xiuwen Zhang, L. B. Abdalla +2
Phosphorene is a novel two-dimensional material that can be isolated through mechanical exfoliation from layered black phosphorus, but unlike graphene and silicene, monolayer phosp…
Search and design of nonmagnetic centrosymmetric layered crystals with large local spin polarization
Qihang Liu, Xiuwen Zhang, Hosub Jin +4
Until recently, spin-polarization in nonmagnetic materials was the exclusive territory of non- centrosymmetric structures. It was recently shown that a form of hidden spin polariza…
Intrinsic circular polarization in centrosymmetric stacks of transition-metal dichalcogenides
Qihang Liu, Xiuwen Zhang, Alex Zunger
The circular polarization (CP) that the photoluminescence inherits from the excitation source in n monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides (MX2)n has been previously explain…
Design and discovery of a novel Half-Heusler transparent hole conductor made of all-metallic heavy elements
Feng Yan, Xiuwen Zhang, Yonggang Yu +4
Metallic conductors that are optically transparent represent a rare breed of generally contraindicated physical properties that are nevertheless critically needed for application w…
Hidden spin polarization in inversion-symmetric bulk crystals
Xiuwen Zhang, Qihang Liu, Jun-Wei Luo +2
Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can induce spin polarization in nonmagnetic 3D crystals when the inversion symmetry is broken, as manifested by the bulk Rashba (R-1) and Dresselhaus (D-1…
