Systematic Study of Fermi‐Level Pinning at Crystalline Metal/GaN Interfaces: First‐Principles Calculations and Diode Characterization

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Schottky barrier height (SBH), which serves as a pivotal determinant of charge carrier injection efficiency in electronic devices, critically governs electrical behavior at metal/semiconductor interfaces. However, pronounced metal‐induced gap states at metal contact interfaces induce Fermi‐level pinning, which constrains the ...

The Dependence of Properties on Structural Features in Macro/Micro Levels for PBF‐LB Fabricated Porous NiTi Alloy

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Porous NiTi alloys are widely used in biomedical and engineering fields. Using the PBF‐LB technique, the TPMS and Voronoi porous parts with a porosity of ∼67% and a minimum feature size of 0.15 ± 0.02 mm were fabricated. Although the bulk sample fabricated with the same parameters is defect‐free, μ‐CT reconstruction on the porous sample ...

Interfacial Dipole Engineering With Taurine‐Modified SnO2 Electron Transport Layer for Efficient and Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Organic‐inorganic metal halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are promising for photovoltaics due to their excellent optoelectronic properties. However, achieving high efficiency and stability remains challenging, mainly due to defects and energy losses at the electron transport layer (ETL)/perovskite interface.
