Simulation Evidence of Hexagonal‐to‐Tetragonal ZnSe Structure Transition: A Monolayer Material with a Wide‐Range Tunable Direct Bandgap

2D material with tunable direct bandgap in the intermediate region (i.e., ≈2-3 eV) is key to the achievement of high efficiency in visible-light optical devices. Herein, a simulation evidence of structure transition of monolayer ZnSe from the experimental pseudohexagonal structure to the tetragonal structure (t-ZnSe) under lateral pressure is shown, suggesting a possible fabrication route to ac...

Tunable Bandgaps: Simulation Evidence of Hexagonal‐to‐Tetragonal ZnSe Structure Transition: A Monolayer Material with a Wide‐Range Tunable Direct Bandgap (Adv. Sci. 12/2015)

ZnGeSb2: a promising thermoelectric material with tunable ultra-high conductivity.

First principles calculations predict the promising thermoelectric material ZnGeSb2 with a huge power factor (S2σ/τ) on the order of 3 × 1017 W m-1 K-2 s-1, due to the ultra-high electrical conductivity scaled by a relaxation time of around 8.5 × 1025 Ω-1 m-1 s-1, observed in its massive Dirac state. The observed electrical conductivity is higher than the well-established Dirac materials, and i...

3 ppm Ultra Wide Range Curvature Compensated Bandgap Reference

In this report a current mode bandgap with a temperature coefficient of 3 ppm for the range from -117◦C to 144◦C is presented. 2nd order curvature compensation is used by using a third BJT with a temperature constant current and a second error amplifier to get a nonlinear temperature coefficient current in extra to enhance the accuracy. The required minimum supply voltage is 1.3V for 3ppm and 1...

Designing voltage tunable single and multi-channel optical filter with 1DDPC nano-structure

An electro-optic tunable single and multi-channel optical filter based on one-dimensional defective photonic crystal (1DDPC) structure is proposed. A couple of externally tunable defects in arrangement of (AB)5D1(BA)D2(BA)5, where A and B are dielectric materials, D1 and D2 are the tunable defects are used. The defects are composed of the ferroelectric LiNbO3 crystals and two pairs of thin Ag l...
