The QE of GaAs-based photocathode is mainly distributed in the band range of 350–932 nm, and the maximum can reach 49.45 %.

Despite recent advancements, these materials suffer from low carrier mobility caused by polar covalent bonds, which degrade electrical conductivity and overall thermoelectric efficiency. In this study, we introduce beryllium, a bivalent homologous group element, as a cationic dopant to substitute for Mg in Mg<sub>3.2</sub>Sb<sub>1.5</sub>Bi<sub>0.49</sub>Te<sub>0.01</sub>. This substitution weakens the polarity of the chemical bonds, significantly enhancing carrier mobility from ∼62 to ∼138 cm<sup>2</sup> V<sup>−1</sup> s<sup>−1</sup>. Theoretical analysis using the single parabolic band model confirms that the effective mass decreases with increasing Be doping content. First-principles calculations further reveal that Be doping leads to stronger charge localization due to their higher electronegativity and shifts the Fermi level into the conduction band and narrows the band gap, strengthening the n-type semiconducting properties.

Previous strategies are either limited by the operating conditions or necessitate compromising the thermal dissipation performance of underlying substrates. Here, we propose an effective method to tune phonon transport across non-ideal realistic Al/nonmetal interfaces by modulating interfacial bonding strength, without altering the thermal conductivity of underlying substrates. We achieve up to a 3-fold increase in interfacial thermal conductance (<em>G</em>) through variations in deposition methods and surface pretreatments. Our non-destructive picosecond acoustic measurements reveal a strong correlation between <em>G</em> and acoustic transmission coefficient, confirming that the observed enhancement in <em>G</em> is primarily due to the larger interfacial bonding strength, facilitated by the contamination removal and covalent bond formation during sputtering deposition. Our measured temperature dependence of <em>G</em> suggests that the differing interfacial bonding strength mainly affects the transmission of low-frequency phonons. Moreover, we observe that the effective phonon transmission probability of non-ideal realistic Al/nonmetal interfaces exhibits remarkable substrate independence, revealing that, unlike commonly emphasized in previous studies, the similarity in phonon density of states (DOS) is not a necessary requirement for enhancing the phonon transport across these interfaces. Instead, interfacial bonding strength plays a more dominant role in governing <em>G</em> of non-ideal realistic interfaces. We also demonstrate the long-term stability of the enhanced <em>G</em> after extended storage and confirm the effectiveness of our methods over a temperature range of 80–500 K. Our findings advance the fundamental understanding of phonon transport across non-ideal realistic interfaces and should be useful in ongoing efforts for thermal management in microelectronics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18253,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today Physics","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 101676"},"PeriodicalIF":10.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143435690","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}
