Colossal Cryogenic Electro‐Optic Response Through Metastability in Strained BaTiO3 Thin Films

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Utilizing the thermodynamic theory of optical properties, a colossal cryogenic electro‐optic response in BaTiO3 thin films is designed and demonstrated by stabilizing a low symmetry metastable monoclinic phase via epitaxial strain tuning with an electro‐optic response reaching ≈2516 pm V−1 at 5 K. This approach represents a new paradigm for engineering

“It Was Like a Tsunami”: Challenges for Refugee Third-Sector Organizations at a Time of Repressive Asylum Policies

Refuge
Based on an innovative method of knowledge exchange with two third-sector organizations working with asylum migrants in Newcastle, UK, and Parma, Italy, we examine how each has reoriented what they consider as sanctuary-building work in response to ...

Sieving Hydrogen Isotopes via Machine Learning Assisted Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) of High‐Quality Monolayer Hexagonal Boron Nitride (h‐BN) on Iron Foils

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Sub‐atomic scale separation of hydrogen isotopes (H+/D+) require near pristine h‐BN membranes, and scalable synthesis of such high‐quality h‐BN comparable to mechanically exfoliated crystals remains a significant challenge. This study reports a scalable Fe‐catalyzed Machine‐Learning Enabled Chemical vapor deposition process for bottom‐up large‐area ...

2D Indium Oxide at the Epitaxial Graphene/SIC Interface: Synthesis, Structure, Properties, and Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new monolayer insulator, InO2, is synthesized by intercalating indium beneath patterned epitaxial graphene on SiC, followed by high‐temperature oxidation. This selective confinement yields large‐area, uniform InO2 with a wide bandgap of 4.1 eV. Upon intercalation, the EG/n‐SiC junction transitions from ohmic to Schottky, exhibiting a rectification ...
