Three-dimensional band structure of rock-salt (rs) CdZnO (x = 1.0, 0.83, and 0.60) have been determined by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) using synchrotron radiation. Valence-band features shift to higher binding energy with Zn content, while the conduction band position does not depend strongly on Zn content. An increase of the indirect band gap with Zn-doping is larger than that of the direct band gap, reflecting a weaker hybridization between Zn 3d and O 2p than that between Cd 4d and O 2p. Two-dimensional electronic states due to the quantization along surface normal direction are formed in the surface accumulation layer and show non-parabolic dispersions. Binding energy of the quantized two-dimensional state is well reproduced using an accumulation potential with the observed surface band bending and the characteristic width of about 30 Å.

Achieving multi-spectrum compatible stealth in radar-terahertz-infrared bands with robust performance has great prospects for both military and civilian applications. However, the progress of materials encounters substantial challenges due to the significant variability in frequency coupling properties across different electromagnetic wave bands. Here, this work presents the design of a multi-scale structure and fabricates a lightweight aerogel (silver nanowire@carbon, AgNW@C) consisting of a regular coaxial nano-cable, with silver nanowire as the core and amorphous-graphitized hybrid carbon as the outer-layer.

GaN is rapidly gaining attention for implementation in power electronics but is still impacted by its high density of threading dislocations (TDs), which have been shown to facilitate current leakage through devices limiting their performance and reliability. Here, we discuss a novel implementation of photoluminescence (PL) imaging to study TDs in regions within vertically structured p-i-n GaN (PIN) diodes consisting of metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) epitaxial layers grown on ammonothermal GaN (am-GaN) substrates. PL imaging with a sub-bandgap excitation energy (3.

Dimensionality Reduction (DR) is an indispensable step to enhance classifier accuracy with data redundancy in hyperspectral images (HSI). This paper proposes a framework for DR that combines band selection (BS) and effective spatial features. The conventional clustering methods for BS typically face hard encounters when we have a less data items matched to the dimensionality of the accompanying feature space.
