Microstructural analysis using electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies of the delaminated (crystallized) films reveals that the top surface of the amorphous Si layer is crystallized by SPE with regions (up to ∼5 mm diameter) composed of epitaxial domains (lateral size of few μm), all of which bear the same crystalline orientation as that of the template crystal. Unlike conventional SPE, the crystallization is not uniform across the entire region: the grains contain crystal defects such as dislocations, stacking faults, and twins; and while the crystallization is initiated at the top surface of the film, the thickness of the single-crystalline area is limited to ∼40 nm from the top surface. Clearly, the AIC approach leads to SPE (aligned with the template's crystalline orientation) over areas as large as few mms, but the crystallization is defective and incomplete through the film. We attribute this to be a consequence of the tensile stress field created at the amorphous/crystalline frontline by the volume change of amorphous Si during the crystallization. Our results establish the feasibility of imprint crystallization, and points to the direction of a new process that may enable the creation of single crystal pockets in integrated device stacks in a scalable fashion without the need for an underlying single crystal substrate. However, our results also indicate that the crystallization is of a poor quality and indicates the need for further optimization of the crystallization method.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 101599"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We have seen many ideas and additives one after another on the way to improving device efficiency. A feature of perovskite solar cells is that once a certified power conversion efficiency has been reported, it appears that most plausible additives can accomplish the same job in increasing device performance. A familiar story with graphene. There is an old saying in China about a black bear in a corn forest that will never get the super corn it wanted. We must focus on the critical issues of the PSCs and find a suitable solution for them. Otherwise, strategies or methods of temporary relief, regardless of the consequences, would not provide a boost to the development of this emerging technology. For example, the long-term stability of PSCs remains a major challenge, particularly due to the migration of iodine ions, which can lead to degradation through redox reactions and the formation of corrosive iodine species, such as I<sub>2</sub> and I<sub>3</sub>⁻. Chemically reactive iodine species can further damage the perovskite layer and adjacent components, shortening the device longevity. Here, we first examine the origin of iodine ion migration and the development of iodine defects in perovskites. The migration of iodine ions and the formation of their byproducts can trigger self-catalyzed degradation reactions during the operation of PSCs. We summarize strategies to address this issue, including composition regulation, grain boundary passivation, crystallization control, and the use of redox-active additives and interfacial barrier layers. These methods show promising potential for resolving iodine defects and improving the operational durability of PSCs. By developing multifunctional additives or using multiple strategies in combination, the migration and evolution of iodine ions can be controlled more effectively. Finally, we propose the introduction of new approaches from other scientific fields to inhibit ion migration and capture volatile iodine, and discuss their applicability in PSCs to achieve long-term operational stability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 101616"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142788720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The strength of this approach lies in its ability to automate and optimize the complex multilayer structure, encompassing both material selection and structural thickness, thereby achieving unparalleled performance in broadband MIR light absorption, with an average absorbance of approximately 0.85 across the 3–13 μm spectral range and nearly perfect absorption within the 4–12 μm range.

We observe a prominent topological Hall effect and topological Nernst effect between <em>T</em><sub><em>C</em></sub> and <em>T</em><sub><em>N</em></sub>, which is ascribable to non-coplanar spin textures inducing a real-space Berry phase due to competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. Furthermore, we show that Cr<sub>1.25</sub>Te<sub>2</sub> exhibits a substantial anomalous Nernst effect, featuring a giant Nernst angle of ∼37 % near <em>T</em><sub><em>C</em></sub> and a maximum Nernst thermoelectric coefficient of 0.52 μV/K. These results surpass those of conventional ferromagnets and other two-dimensional vdW materials, highlighting Cr<sub>1.25</sub>Te<sub>2</sub> as a promising candidate for advanced thermoelectric devices based on the Nernst effect.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"50 ","pages":"Article 101627"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142816013","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
