Polar surfaces undergo polarity compensation, which can lead to significantly different surface chemistry from their nonpolar counterparts. This process in turn can substantially alter the binding of adsorbates on the surface. Here, we find that hydrogen binds much more strongly to the polar (110) surface than the nonpolar (100) surface for a wide range of ABO3 perovskites, forming a hydroxyl layer on the O24- termination and a hydride layer on the ABO4+ termination of the (110) surface. The stronger adsorption on the polar surfaces can be explained by polarity compensation: hydrogen atoms can act as electron donors or acceptors to compensate for the polarity of perovskite surfaces. The relative stability of the surface terminations is further compared under different gas environments and several perovskites have been found to form stable surface hydride layers under oxygen-poor conditions. These results demonstrate the feasibility of creating stable surface hydrides on perovskites by polarity compensation which might lead to new hydrogenation catalysts based on ABO3 perovskites.

Single nanoparticle (NP) cyclic voltarefractometry (CVR), realized as wide-field surface plasmon resonance microscopy (SPRM) in combination with potential cycling, has been proposed and applied to the in situ study of TiO NPs. Electrochemical activity of TiO is mainly observed outside the electrochemical stability window of water. Therefore, the response of individual anatase (a-TiO) and rutile (r-TiO) NPs adsorbed on a gold layer was studied in 0.

In this letter, we investigated the impact of percolation transport mechanisms on ferroelectric field effect transistor (FeFET) multi-value storage with Kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulation considering aspect ratio and temperature dependencies. It is found that the portion of the ferroelectric polarization, which dominated the threshold voltage shift of the FeFET, increases when aspect ratio of device decreases. Moreover, randomness of percolation path formation and variations of equivalent conductance can be suppressed, indicating mitigation of device-to-device variations and enhancement of separation of individual states.

This system utilizes distributed feedback lasers (DFBs) and a carrier recovery algorithm facilitated by a bifunctional frequency-domain pilot tone (FPT). To reduce costs in coherent PON implementations, low-cost DFBs are employed as the sole light sources, replacing the more expensive external cavity lasers (ECLs) at both the optical line terminal (OLT) and the optical network units (ONUs).

New unconventional compensated magnets with a p-wave spin polarization protected by a composite time-reversal translation symmetry have been proposed in the wake of altermagnets. To facilitate the experimental discovery and applications of these unconventional magnets, we construct an effective analytical model. The effective model is based on a minimal tight-binding model for unconventional p-wave magnets that clarifies the relation to other magnets with p-wave spin-polarized bands.

This study identifies the most suitable catholyte for the electrochemical HI decomposition process, an emerging single-step alternative to the conventional multistep HI section of the I-S thermochemical cycle for hydrogen production. Four catholytes, HO, HPO, HSO, and HI, were shortlisted based on compatibility with the I-S cycle and ability to support the hydrogen evolution. Polarization studies in a two-compartment electrochemical cell revealed a similar order of onset potentials for the electrochemical HI decomposition across all four catholyte electrolytes.
