The preparation of thin oxide films on metal supports is a versatile approach to explore the
properties of oxide materials that are otherwise inaccessible to most surface science …

The present work reviews atomic-scale properties of point defects and dopant atoms
exposed on and in cleavage surfaces of III–V and II–VI semiconductors. In particular, we …

We present a facile molecular-level interface engineering strategy to augment the long-term
operational and thermal stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) by tailoring the interface …

Graphene shows promise as a future material for nanoelectronics owing to its compatibility
with industry-standard lithographic processing, electron mobilities up to 150 times greater …

The discovery of graphene has put the spotlight on other layered materials including
transition metal dichalcogenites (TMD) as building blocks for novel heterostructures …

Electronic nematicity has been commonly observed in juxtaposition with unconventional
superconductivity. Understanding the nature of the nematic state and its consequences for …

Nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes have been synthesized using pyrolysis and
characterized by scanning tunneling spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy …

Writing a textbook is an undertaking that requires strong motivation, strong enough to carry
out almost two years of solid work in this case. My motivation arose from three sources. The …

Self-assembly pyrolytic routes to large arrays (< 2.5 cm 2) of aligned CN x nanotubes (15–80
nm OD and< 100 μm in length) are presented. The method involves the thermolysis of …

Studying the microscopic behavior of free carriers in materials at an ultrashort time scale is
critical to developing semiconductor, optoelectronic, and other technologies satisfying the …
