Interface-driven giant piezoelectric enhancement in ScN/AlN bilayers and its comparison with Sc0.5Al0.5N alloys under epitaxial strain: A first-principles study

Imene Cherair, Abdelkrim El Hadi Khediri, Ali Soltani

We present a comparative first-principles study of and alloys, as well as wurtzite ScN/AlN and GaN/AlN bilayers, focusing on their piezoelectric and elastic properties under epitaxial strain. Our results reveal a dramatic enhancement of the out-of-plane piezoelectric response in ScN/AlN bilayers…

Carnot’s cycle in the making of thermodynamics

Raffaele Pisano

No heat engine operating in a cycle can convert all the heat it receives into useful work. This Carnotian limit is now elementary thermodynamics, but it remains useful at the forefront of scientific research. It governs the comparison between ideal cycles and real processes, the interpretation of…

Benzo-bis(imidazole) self-assembled monolayers molecular junctions in meta or para conformation: effects of protonation on the electrical and thermal conductances.

Sergio Gonzalez Casal, Simon Pascal, Olivier Siri, Dominique Vuillaume

We report the thermal conductances of molecular junctions made of self-assembled monolayers of benzo-bis(imidazole) molecules, without side groups or functionalized with two phenylamine side groups. In the two cases, when the molecules are connected to the electrodes by thiol anchoring groups in…

Strain- and confinement-induced topological phases in noncentrosymmetric wurtzite HgTe

Antoine Hage, Jing Li, Christophe Delerue

While three-dimensional Dirac semimetals have been extensively studied in centrosymmetric materials such as Cd3As2 and Na3Bi , the recent colloidal synthesis of wurtzite HgTe (wz-HgTe) opens new opportunities for exploring topological quantum phases in noncentrosymmetric systems. Building on recent…
