Metal halide perovskites are promising materials for light absorbers in solar cell applications. Use of the Br/I system enables us to control band gap energy and improves the efficiency of solar cells. Precise knowledge of lattice parameters and band gap energies as functions of compositions are crucially important for developing the devices using those materials. In this study, we have determined lattice parameters and band gap energies of CHNHPb(IBr), one of the most intensively studied mix-halide perovskites, as functions of Br content . We measured accurate Br contents and lattice parameters of CHNHPb(IBr) (0 ≤ ≤ 1) using single-crystalline samples by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements, respectively. The CHNHPb(IBr) crystal system is tetragonal for ≤ 0.06 and cubic for ≥ 0.08 at 300 K. Lattice parameters of CHNHPb(IBr) strictly follow Vegard's law; i.e., they are linearly dependent on . We give linear expressions of of lattice parameters for the tetragonal and cubic phases of CHNHPb(IBr) at 300 K. We have shown that these expressions can be used for determining the Br contents of CHNHPb(IBr) polycrystalline thin-film samples based on XRD measurements and, in addition, demonstrated that XPS measurements on polycrystalline samples may be erroneous because of impure ingredients in the samples. Furthermore, we determined band gap energies of CHNHPb(IBr) (0 ≤ ≤ 1) at room temperature using absorption spectra of polycrystalline thin films taking account of excitonic effects.

The stress distribution within the struts of lattice metamaterials is non-uniform under compressive loads, with stress concentrations typically occurring at the node regions. Inspired by bamboo, this study proposes a type of body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice metamaterial with tapered prism struts (BCCT). The compressive behavior, deformation modes, mechanical properties, and failure mechanisms of BCCT lattice metamaterials are systematically analyzed using finite element methods and validated through compression tests.

The success of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) depends on active and robust electrocatalysts to facilitate oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Heteroatom-doped-RuO has emerged as a promising electrocatalysts because heteroatoms suppress lattice oxygen participation in the OER, thereby preventing the destabilization of surface Ru and catalyst degradation. However, identifying suitable heteroatoms and achieving their atomic-scale coupling with Ru atoms are nontrivial tasks.

We demonstrate that fundamental nonlinear localized modes can exist in the Chen-Lee-Liu equation modified by several parity-time (PT) symmetric complex potentials. The explicit formula of analytical solitons is derived from the physically interesting Scarf-II potential, and families of spatial solitons in internal modes are numerically captured under the optical lattice potential. By the spectral analysis of linear stability, we observe that these bright solitons can remain stable across a broad scope of potential parameters, despite the breaking of the corresponding linear PT-symmetric phases.

In sodium-ion batteries, the layered transition metal oxides used as cathode often experience interlayer sliding of interlayer spacing and lattice variations during charge/discharge, leading to structural damage and capacity degradation. To address this challenge, a La doping strategy guided by Bayesian optimization has been employed to prepare the high-performance O3-NaNiMnCuLaO (NMCL) cathode material. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the O 2p orbital overlaps with the t orbital of transition metals in NMCL, facilitating the formation of Na-O-La bonds and promoting the oxygen redox reaction kinetics.

Self-assembled DNA origami lattices on silicon oxide surfaces have great potential to serve as masks in molecular lithography. However, silicon oxide surfaces come in many different forms and the type and history of the silicon oxide has a large effect on its physicochemical surface properties. Therefore, we here investigate DNA origami lattice formation on differently fabricated SiOx films on silicon wafers after wet-chemical oxidation by RCA1.
