Tuneable ion selectivity in vermiculite membranes intercalated with unexchangeable ions
Zhuang Liu, Yumei Tan, Jianhao Qian +8
Membranes selective to ions of the same charge are increasingly sought for wastewater processing and valuable element recovery. However, while narrow channels are known to be essen…
Plasmonic detection of Rashba spin-orbit coupling in monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides
Y. Li, Z. H. Tao, Y. M. Xiao +5
Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) induces strong momentum-dependent spin splitting and plays a crucial role in fields like spintronics and topological photonics. We here theoretica…
Striped excitonic (super)solid in anisotropic semiconductors with screened exciton interactions
J. F. de Oliveira Neto, F. M. A. Guimarães, Davi S. Dantas +3
Within the Gross-Pitaevskii framework, we reveal the emergence of a crystallized phase of an exciton condensate in an atomically-thin anisotropic semiconductor, where screening of…
Quantifying hydrogen bonding using electrically tunable nanoconfined water
Ziwei Wang, Anupam Bhattacharya, Mehmet Yagmurcukardes +11
Hydrogen bonding plays a crucial role in biology and technology, yet it remains poorly understood and quantified despite its fundamental importance. Traditional models, which descr…
Electronic and magnetic properties of graphene-fluorographene nanoribbons: Controllable semiconductor-metal transition
R. M. Guzmán-Arellano, A. D. Hernández-Nieves, F. M. Peeters +1
We investigate the electronic and magnetic properties of graphene channels (--~nm wide) embedded within fluorographene, focusing on two distinct interfaces: the fully fluorin…
