The thermal conductivities of GeTe/BiTe superlattice-like materials are calculated based on density functional perturbation theory (DFPT) and measured using a 3ω method. The calculated results show that the lattice thermal conductivity or thermal diffusivity of GeTe/BiTe superlattice-like materials significantly decrease due to the effects of interfaces and Bi atoms in BiTe. Our measured results are in line with the theoretical calculations, and reach an extremely low thermal conductivity at 0.162 W mK compared with published work on Ge-Sb(Bi)-Te, indicating the effectiveness of modulating the thermal properties of phase change materials by using Bi-based GeTe/BiTe superlattice-like materials. Our findings give a calculation method to modify the thermal characteristics of superlattice-like materials and confirm Bi-based GeTe/BiTe superlattice-like materials as promising candidates for phase change materials with lower thermal conductivity.

Article Synopsis
- Natural design has inspired new materials, but using complex natural microstructures for functional materials is less explored.
- The study focuses on Nacre, a biocomposite known for its unique structure, to analyze its phononic behavior at different frequencies.
- Results show that Nacre exhibits simple properties at longer wavelengths but reveals a complex phononic spectrum when wavelengths match its structural features, challenging previous assumptions about its periodicity.

Microenvironments in heterogeneous catalysis have been recognized as equally important as the types and amounts of active sites for regulating catalytic activity. Two-dimensional (2D) nanospaces between van der Waals (vdW) gaps of layered materials provide an ideal microenvironment to create novel functionalities. Here, we explore a facile method for fabricating g-CN/2H-MoS superlattice-like heterostructures based on thermochemical intercalation and polymerization reactions of formamide within enlarged vdW gaps of 2H-MoS nanosheets without any transfer process.

The intriguing characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures stem from their unique interfaces, which can improve ion storage capability and rate performance. However, there are still challenges in increasing the proportion of heterogeneous interfaces in materials and understanding the complex interaction mechanisms at these interfaces. Here, we have successfully synthesized confined CoSe within the interlayer space of TiCT through a simple solvothermal method, resulting in the formation of a superlattice-like heterostructures of CoSe@TiCT.

In the heterostructure of two-dimensional (2D) materials, many novel physics phenomena are strongly dependent on the Moiré superlattice. How to achieve the continuous manipulation of the Moiré superlattice in the same sample is very important to study the evolution of various physical properties. Here, in minimally twisted monolayer-multilayer graphene, we found that bubble-induced strain has a huge impact on the Moiré superlattice.

This paper presents a comprehensive investigation into the thermal stability of superlattice-like (SLL) thin films fabricated by varying the sputtering sequences of the SLL [GeSb(25nm)/GeTe(25nm)] and SLL [GeTe(25nm)/GeSb(25nm)] configurations. Our results reveal significantly enhanced ten-year data retention () for both thin films measured at 124.3 °C and 151.
