However, the defects in Cu<sub>2</sub>Se thin films are difficult to control, which limits the improvement of the thermoelectric performance of the films. Co doping inhibits the thermally-induced phase transition of Cu<sub>2</sub>Se thin films and enhances the thermoelectric performance by leveraging the interaction between the magnetism of Co and the film carriers. Changes in the Co content will influence the surface morphology by regulating the phase composition. Moreover, a relatively dense-surfaced Cu<sub>2</sub>Se thin film can be obtained through Co doping. When the doping amount is 0.98 %, Co atoms exist in the form of a small number of interstitial defects, Co<sub>i</sub>. When the doping amount increases to 2.38 %, a large number of Co<sub>i</sub> are filled into the sub-lattice of the β-phase. This inhibits the formation of the α-phase and leads to the formation of a stable sub-lattice structure. As a result, it increases the hopping activation energy of carriers, enhances lattice coupling, and promotes acoustic phonon scattering. The magnetism of Co-doped Cu<sub>2</sub>Se thin films is related to the quantity of Co<sub>i</sub>. The small amount of Co<sub>i</sub> can provide impurity energy levels, reduce the hopping activation energy of carriers, and generate ionized impurity scattering. Meanwhile, a small amount of Co<sub>i</sub> gives rise to a built-in magnetic field in micro-regions, which restricts the migration of low-energy carriers in local regions.

A critical bottleneck is the lack of atomic-scale theoretical frameworks to clarify how deposition parameters tune key heterostructure properties—dislocation density, structural composition, surface roughness, in-plane stress—hindering the rational optimization of device quality. To fill this gap, we present a molecular dynamics (MD)-based atomic-scale investigation of AlGaN deposition on GaN templates, aiming to uncover the unelucidated mechanisms that quantify the correlative trends between such parameters and properties at the atomic level. Key findings include three fabrication-relevant insights: 1) For temperatures (1200–1800 K), we identified 1600 K as the optimal value, featuring peak crystalline quality and monotonic roughness reduction—driven by enhanced adatom mobility. Our work clarifies this mobility's synchronous regulation of the two key properties in systems like AlGaN/GaN heterostructures, offering new atomic-scale insights into their correlation. 2) For Al/Ga flux ratios (1:4 to 3:1), Al/Ga = 1:3 yields highest crystallinity; Al/Ga ≥1 surfaces are smoother than Al/Ga &lt;1. This divergence comes from clarified atomic process: Ga-rich conditions promote Ga desorption, while higher Al suppresses it—unhighlighted before. 3) We confirmed that in-plane tensile stress (arising from lattice mismatch) is dominant; further, our molecular dynamics (MD) simulations uniquely quantify how temperature and flux modulate the stress magnitude at the atomic interface.

Therefore, a modified DBC bonding process was specifically designed for lotus copper, as the conventional approach proved unsuitable. A key aspect of successful DBC bonding is the reaction between molten copper and alumina surface to form an intimate interfacial bond. By controlling the oxidation rate on the surface of the lotus copper, the mobility of molten copper should be limited to satisfy the conditions for reaction and bonding with alumina. A redesigned DBC process was implemented, and bonding experiments were conducted under various time conditions. Under the integrated DBC process, the bonded DBC specimens retained the morphology of lotus copper.
