Scientists have developed an AI system that can rapidly predict complex defect patterns in liquid crystals, cutting simulation times from hours to milliseconds. The approach could transform how ...
Across the physical world, many intricate structures form via symmetry breaking. When a system with inherent symmetry ...
An international research group led by Dr. Takayuki Ishii from HPSTAR and Okayama University, Institute for Planetary Materials, in collaboration with colleagues from Bayerisches Geoinstitut, ...
New GPU-accelerated modeling reveals the hidden mechanics behind graphene’s AB-BA transitions and the defects that freeze them in place. Study: Phase-Field Crystal Method for Bilayer Graphene. Image ...
The new model takes into account an important class of material defects (grain boundaries) and the tendency of the mixed solutes to gather—or segregate—around the structural imperfections during alloy ...
Researchers have looked at what limits the efficiency of a promising solar material to reveal the nature of multiple different kinds of defects, their varied roles in device efficiency and their ...
α-FAPbI 3, a promising solar cell material with a cubic perovskite structure that is metastable at room temperature, can be stabilized by introducing a pseudo-halide ion like thiocyanate (SCN –) into ...
Researchers and industries have been using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to study semiconductors' stacking and dislocation faults. This article considers the analysis of crystal structures.
(Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional materials are essential for developing new ultra-compact electronic devices, but producing defect-free 2D materials is a challenge. However, discovery of new types of ...
