Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

After more than 20 years of steady progress, lithium-ion batteries still exhibit modest energy
capacities that seem to have reached their asymptotic values with the present combination …

Structurally disordered materials pose fundamental questions,,–, including how different
disordered phases ('polyamorphs') can coexist and transform from one phase to another …

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is a widely studied noncrystalline material, and yet the subtle
details of its atomistic structure are still unclear. Here, we show that accurate structural …

We predict the properties of the propagating and nonpropagating vibrational modes in
amorphous silica (a-SiO 2) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) and, from them, thermal …

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) is an important thermal-management material and also serves as
an ideal playground for studying heat transport in strongly disordered materials. Theoretical …

Cation-disordered rock salts (DRXs), a new class of cathode materials for Li-ion batteries,
have attracted a great amount of attention in recent years due to their fascinatingly simple …

It is widely believed that the continuous random network (CRN) model represents the
structural topology of amorphous silicon. The key evidence is that the model can reproduce …

The continuous random network (CRN) model is an idealized model for perfectly
coordinated amorphous semiconductors. The quality of a CRN can be assessed in terms of …

The application of a large-area (41× 41 cm, 2048× 2048 or 1024× 1024 pixel) high-
sensitivity (detective quantum efficiency> 65%) fast-readout (up to 7.5 or 30 Hz) flat-panel …
