Intrinsic Polarization Super Junctions: Design of Single and Multichannel GaN Structures

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Luca Nela, Catherine Erine, Amirmohammad Miran Zadeh

Super junctions (SJs) have enabled unprecedented performance in Silicon power devices, which could be further improved by applying this concept to wide bandgap semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN). Currently, polarization super junctions (PSJs) are th ...

Three-dimensional Fermi surfaces from charge order in layered CsV3Sb5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Yi-Chiang Sun, Chunyu Guo, Xiangwei Huang

The cascade of electronic phases in CsV3Sb5 raises the prospect to disentangle their mutual interactions in a clean, strongly interacting kagome lattice. When the kagome planes are stacked into a crystal, its electronic dimensionality encodes how much of t ...

Accurate and efficient band-gap predictions for metal halide perovskites at finite temperature

Alfredo Pasquarello, Aleksei Tal, Haiyuan Wang, Patrick Gono, Thomas Bischoff

We develop a computationally efficient scheme to accurately determine finite-temperature band gaps for metal halide perovskites belonging to the class ABX(3) (A = Rb, Cs; B = Ge, Sn, Pb; and X = F, Cl, Br, I). First, an initial estimate of the band gap is ...

Oxygen Evolution at the BiVO4-Water Interface: Mechanism of the Water Dehydrogenation Reaction

Alfredo Pasquarello, Julia Anna Wiktor, Sai Lyu

We study the water dehydrogenation reaction at the BiVO4(010)-water interface by combining nudged-elastic-band calculations and electronic structure calculations at the hybrid functional level. We investigate the pathway and the kinetic barrier for the adi ...

A perspective on multi-channel technology for the next-generation of GaN power devices

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Luca Nela

The outstanding properties of Gallium Nitride (GaN) have enabled considerable improvements in the performance of power devices compared to traditional silicon technology, resulting in more efficient and highly compact power converters. GaN power technology ...

Bloch's theorem in orbital-density-dependent functionals: Band structures from Koopmans spectral functionals

Nicola Marzari, Nicola Colonna, Edward Baxter Linscott, Riccardo De Gennaro

Koopmans-compliant functionals provide an orbital-density-dependent framework for an accurate evaluation of spectral properties; they are obtained by imposing a generalized piecewise-linearity condition on the total energy of the system with respect to the ...

Spontaneous Brillouin Scattering in Gas-filled Anti-resonant Fibre

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Li Zhang, Suneetha Sebastian

Spontaneous Brillouin scattering is measured for the first time in a hollow-core anti-resonant fibre (HC-ARF) filled with Nitrogen (N2) gas at different pressures. A Brillouin gain of 0.029 m^−1W^−1 is yielded at a pressure of 34.7 bar. ...

Enhancement-mode Multi-channel AlGaN/GaN Transistors with LiNiO Junction Tri-Gate

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Luca Nela, Taifang Wang

Multi-channel GaN power device, consisting of stacking multiple two-dimensional-electron-gas (2DEG) channels, has been demonstrated to achieve unprecedented on-state performance while maintaining high breakdown voltage (VBR). However, the large carrier den ...

Polarons free from many-body self-interaction in density functional theory

Alfredo Pasquarello, Stefano Falletta

We develop a unified theoretical framework encompassing one-body and many-body forms of self-interaction. We find an analytic expression for both the one-body and the many-body self-interaction energies, and quantitatively connect the two expressions throu ...

Overcome Low Intrinsic Conductivity of NiOx Through Triazinyl Modification for Highly Efficient and Stable Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells

Ulf Anders Hagfeldt, Bowen Yang, Hui Chen, Jiabao Yang, Tong Wang

Nickel oxide (NiOx) is a promising hole transport material in inverted organic-inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells. However, its low intrinsic conductivity hinders its further improvement in device performance. Here, we employ a trimercapto-s-tri ...
