Electrical switching of valley polarization in monolayer semiconductors

Lizhong Li, Shengwei Jiang, Zefang Wang, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Jie Shan, and Kin Fai Mak

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 104005 (2020) - Published 13 October, 2020

Electrical switching of valley polarization in 2D semiconductors could enable fast and energy-efficient optoelectronics devices that communicate with photon helicity but its realization remains challenging because the electronic valley degree of freedom does not directly couple to electric fields. In this paper, by proximity coupling 2D semiconductors to 2D magnets, and by electrically switching the spins of the 2D magnet, reversible electrical switching of the valley polarization has been demonstrated. This study also paves the path for high-speed valleytronics devices.

Property and cation valence engineering in entropy-stabilized oxide thin films

George N. Kotsonis, Peter B. Meisenheimer, Leixin Miao, Joseph Roth, Baomin Wang, Padraic Shafer, Roman Engel-Herbert, Nasim Alem, John T. Heron, Christina M. Rost, and Jon-Paul Maria

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 100401(R) (2020) - Published 19 October, 2020

We present data for epitaxial thin films of the prototypical rocksalt entropy-stabilized oxide (ESO) Mg $_{0.2}$ Ni $_{0.2}$ Co $_{0.2}$ Cu $_{0.2}$ Zn $_{0.2}$ O that reveals a remarkably large property dependence on growth temperature. Variable net Co valence strongly influences the unit cell volume, optical response, and magnetic response. ESO solid solutions are well known for their compositional flexibility and corresponding property tunability. However, the present observations illustrate that even at constant metallic element proportions, synthesis conditions alone can strongly influence the physical properties of ESO crystals without significant changes in microstructure.

Spin-orbit-proximitized ferromagnetic metal by monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide: Atlas of spectral functions, spin textures, and spin-orbit torques in $Co / {MoSe}_{2}, Co / {WSe}_{2}$ , and $Co / {TaSe}_{2}$ heterostructures

Kapildeb Dolui and Branislav K. Nikolić

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 104007 (2020) - Published 19 October, 2020

The authors demonstrate how to screen computationally heterostructures of ultrathin layers of conventional ferromagnetic metals and monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides, using first-principles Green functions and first-principles quantum transport techniques in order to find an optimal manifestation of the spin-orbit proximity effect within a ferromagnetic metal and the corresponding spin-orbit torque on its magnetization once the current is passed through the heterostructures. This approach identifies the Co/WSe $_{2}$ bilayer as a potentially optimal heterostructure for spintronic applications based on effects that require large current-driven nonequilibrium spin density.

Controlling phonon lifetimes via sublattice disordering in $Ag Bi {Se}_{2}$

Phys. Rev. Materials 4, 105402 (2020) - Published 12 October, 2020

Due to their ability to convert thermal gradients into useful electrical energy, thermoelectrics are promising for energy efficiency uses. Thermoelectric conversion rates are driven by the ratio of electrical to thermal conductivity in the material, thus substantial research focuses on balancing these competing mechanisms. Here the authors use state-of-the-art neutron scattering and computational modeling to investigate the temperature dependence of the crystal structure, phonon dispersions, and phonon lifetimes to provide new microscopic insight to thermal conductivity suppression in AgBiSe2, a thermoelectric exhibiting a cationic sublattice disordering at high temperature. These combined efforts enable the authors to definitively describe contributions to the thermal conductivity arising from a step-like change in phonon scattering rates directly originating from the combined effects of mass and force-constant disorder due to cation disorder at the structural phase transition. This study highlights the potential of tunable microstructures to control phonon scattering rates in real materials, a necessary component for rational material design, particularly for thermoelectrics.
