Sn-doped InO (ITO) electrodes were deposited on transparent and flexible muscovite mica. The use of mica substrate makes a high-temperature annealing process (up to 500 °C) possible. ITO/mica retains its low electric resistivity even after continuous bending of 1000 times on account of the unique layered structure of mica. When used as a transparent flexible heater, ITO/mica shows an extremely fast ramping (<15 s) up to a high temperature of over 438 °C. When used as a transparent electrode, ITO/mica permits a high-temperature annealing (450 °C) approach to fabricate flexible perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with high efficiency.

Controlling materials' composition and structure to selectively adsorb rare earth elements (REE) is critical for better separations. Understanding how local electric potentials affect REE adsorption and how they can be modified via chemical substitution is of fundamental importance. We present calculated mean inner potentials for muscovite and phlogopite micas in excellent agreement with measured values of +10.

In response to gradual nanoindentation, the surface of muscovite mica deforms by sudden stochastic nanometer-scale displacement bursts. Here, the statistics of these displacement events are interpreted using a statistical model previously used to model earthquakes to understand how chemically reactive environments alter the surface properties of this material. We show that the statistics of nanoindentation displacement bursts in muscovite mica are tuned by chemomechanical weakening in a manner similar to how the statistics of model events are tuned by a mechanical weakening parameter that describes how easily system-spanning cracks can be nucleated.

The anisotropic nature of charge transport through organic materials requires high control over the self-assembly of the organic materials. This is particularly so for conductive polymers, where transport occurs mainly along the polymers' backbone. Herein, we demonstrate the use of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) to influence the self-assembly of poly(3-adamantylmethylthiophene).

In pursuing advanced neuromorphic applications, this study introduces the successful engineering of a flexible electronic synapse based on WO, structured as W/WO/Pt/Muscovite-Mica. This artificial synapse is designed to emulate crucial learning behaviors fundamental to in-memory computing. We systematically explore synaptic plasticity dynamics by implementing pulse measurements capturing potentiation and depression traits akin to biological synapses under flat and different bending conditions, thereby highlighting its potential suitability for flexible electronic applications.

The surfaces of many minerals are covered by naturally occurring cations that become partially hydrated and can be replaced by hydronium or other cations when the surface is exposed to water or an aqueous solution. These ion exchange processes are relevant to various chemical and transport phenomena, yet elucidating their microscopic details is challenging for both experiments and simulations. In this work, we make a first step in this direction by investigating the behavior of the native K+ ions at the interface between neat water and the muscovite mica (001) surface with ab-initio-based machine learning molecular dynamics and enhanced sampling simulations.
