However, its high lattice energy and low polarizability result in extremely low solubility in conventional solvents, making the synthesis of CsPbCl_(3) single crystals a significant challenge. In this study, we propose a novel thermodynamically induced crystal restructuring (TICR) process that can transform microcrystalline films (MCFs) into single crystal films (SCFs) within a short period. This method, for the first time, has successfully achieved the synthesis of centimeter-sized CsPbCl_(3) SCFs and the mechanism has been explored in depth using in-situ techniques. Furthermore, we report the first instance of a CsPbCl_(3) SCF UV photodiode, which exhibits a record-breaking on/off ratio of 3.32 × 10^(7) and a detectivity of up to 1.15 × 10^(14) Jones under 0 V bias. It demonstrates excellent response even under weak light conditions of 10 nW·cm^(−2) and maintains outstanding stability with almost no performance degradation after 15 months. This study provides a novel approach for the synthesis of perovskite single crystals and holds significant potential for advancing the development of high-performance optoelectronic devices.展开更多

GdN single crystals are anti-ferromagnetic for applied magnetic fields of only 10 Oe, become ferromagnetic for excess electrons and larger magnetic fields. They are semimetallic. Thin films are ferromagnetic and semiconductors. Over the time, many experiments have been performed on both systems and the physics in each system is consistent. Band structure computations either yield ferromagnetic semimetals or ferromagnetic semiconducting thin films. There seems to be two incompatible worlds, those of single crystals and those of thin films. In the present work, the author compares directly the various measurements and calculations and gives reasons for their different results.展开更多

Synchrotron radiation angle-resolved photoemission spectra were measured at normal emission with sample temperature at - 150K. Up to four subpeaks of LUMO-derived band were observed. These sub-peaks exhibit distinct energy dispersions which resemble in general the theoretical ones calculated for K3C60 at low temperature with the so-called one-dimensional disordered structure. But there is large deviation of experimental sub-band intervals from the theoretical values. This result is meaningful for the studies of the physical properties of alkali-doped C60 solids, e.g. the mechanism for superconductivity.展开更多
