Combining two different TMDs can lead to a type‐II band alignment and formation of interlayer excitons (ILE). In MoSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>–WSe<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> heterobilayers, optically bright ILE are only observable if the interlayer twist angle is close to 0° (aligned, R‐type) or 60° (anti‐aligned, H‐type). Herein, low‐temperature optical spectroscopy studies of these ILE in high magnetic fields are presented. Depending on interlayer twist, ILE transitions are either valley conserving or between different valleys. This allows engineering of the ILE g factor, changing its magnitude and even its sign. Additionally, applied magnetic fields induce a valley polarization of the ILE, and its buildup can directly be observed in helicity‐ and time‐resolved photoluminescence, with peculiar features due to the dependence of ILE optical selection rules on interlayer registry. For both, R‐type and H‐type structures, it is found that at 24 Tesla, the valley polarization is resonantly enhanced, even though their g factors are markedly different. This observation hints at a scattering process involving single carriers within the ILE and zone‐boundary acoustic phonons.","PeriodicalId":20406,"journal":{"name":"Physica Status Solidi B-basic Solid State Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141527479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The adsorption behaviors of gases on Fe@BP were analyzed in terms of adsorption configurations and electronic properties. It is found that all gases adsorbed on Fe@BP exhibit significantly enhanced interactions, and the adsorption intensity is much larger than that of molecules adsorbed on the surface of pure BP. Fe@BP has high selectivity for toxic and ambient gas molecules. In addition, the adsorption strength of NO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and NO molecules on Fe@BP increases after compression strain is applied (within −3%), while the adsorption strength of CO decreases gradually. After the tensile strain is applied, the adsorption intensity of NO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub> and NO is decreased, but that of CO is increased gradually. It is speculated that the strain causes changes in the electronic structure, which affects the adsorption behavior. The adsorption of NO has a stronger strain sensitivity.

The orientations and shapes of the edge‐emission diagrams indicate that the fluctuations of the composition of the (Al,Ga)N confining layer are deep enough for producing intravalence band mixings.

The strain values in AlGaN thick layers on sapphire substrates by in situ wafer curvature measurements and ex situ X‐ray diffraction measurements are evaluated. It is found that the tensile strain during the AlGaN thick layer growth comes from a thermal expansion difference between the AlGaN thick layer and the sapphire substrate as the temperature changes from the AlN nucleation layer growth to the AlGaN thick layer growth. When the temperature change is 100 °C and less, the tensile strain of 0.1% and less is observed during the AlGaN thick layer growth, resulting in no crack formations in the AlGaN thick layer. Furthermore, a DUV LED layer structure grown on such a crack‐free AlGaN template shows no crack formations.

Results show that the doped Cr atoms in fcc and bcc phases choose distinct occupation models. This phenomenon can be understood from the amount of electron density of states close to Fermi energy. For magnetism, Cr tends to be antiferromagnetically coupled with the surrounding Fe in the studied phases. The magnetic moment of Fe is greater than that of Cr in bcc, but the order is reversed in fcc. The moment of Fe is dictated by the distance between it and the doped Cr in bcc, whereas it is dominated by spatial orientation with Cr in fcc. For phase stability, it is found that the alloying of Cr prefers destabilizing bcc while tends to stabilize fcc, leading to a strong inhibition of phase transition from fcc to bcc. Notably, the role in the fcc phase is more prominent than that in bcc, which can be associated with the antiferromagnetism between Fe and Cr in fcc.","PeriodicalId":20406,"journal":{"name":"Physica Status Solidi B-basic Solid State Physics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141150501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
