Two-dimensional crystals' edge structures not only influence their overall properties but also
dictate their formation due to edge-mediated synthesis and etching processes. Edges must …

Thin films of rare-earth monopnictide (RE-V) semimetals are expected to turn into
semiconductors due to quantum confinement effects (QCE), lifting the overlap between …

The electronic and band structures of the Gd-and Sb-based intermetallic materials have
been explored using the theoretical ab initio approach, accounting for strong electron …

The edges of black phosphorene (BP) have been extensively explored. The previous
experimental observations that all the BP edges are semiconducting implies that the as-cut …

The electronic and optical properties of binary semimetals GdSb and TbSb in the rocksalt
cubic structure have been investigated. The spin-polarized band structure calculations were …

Rare-earth monopnictides display rich physical behaviors, featuring most notably spin and
orbital orders in their ground state. Here, we grow ErBi single crystal and study its magnetic …

Embedding rare-earth monopnictide nanoparticles into III–V semiconductors enables
unique optical, electrical, and thermal properties for THz photoconductive switches, tunnel …

Rare-earth monopnictides have attracted much attention due to their unusual electronic and
topological properties for potential device applications. Here, we study rock-salt structured …

Herein, the synthesis of novel, highly luminescent, and nearly monodisperse zero‐
dimensional (0D) cesium lanthanide chloride (Cs3LnCl6; Ln= Y, Ce, Gd, Er, Tm, Yb) …

Recent advancements in preparing few-layer black phosphorene (BP) are hindered by edge
reconstruction challenges. Our previous studies have revealed the factors contributing to the …
