Lone‐Pair‐Induced Lattice Distortion in Lead‐Free Hybrid Perovskites for High‐Performance Nanogenerators

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A lead‐free tin‐based hybrid perovskite is designed in which stereochemically active lone‐pair electrons on tin distort the crystal lattice and break its symmetry. Blended into a flexible polymer, the material converts pressure into electricity at milliwatt‐scale power density and continues working far below freezing, powering a commercial wristwatch ...

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Nitrospinics: Nitride Materials for Spin‐Orbit and Orbital Torques From Memory to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Further advances in applications can be anticipated through the development of unique and functional materials beyond conventional alloys. Nitrogen enables tailor‐made orbital textures in various transition‐metal hosts, paving the way for devices ranging from spintronics memory to artificial intelligence hardware.

Dirac Semimetallicity Enabled by Stripe Antiferromagnetism in Monolayer FeSe

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In monolayer FeSe, stripe antiferromagnetic order selectively breaks mirror symmetry, enabling odd inter‐orbital hybridization between opposite‐parity Fe 3d states. This mechanism stabilizes symmetry‐protected Dirac nodes with nontrivial Wilson‐loop topology and edge states, accompanied by a strong orbital diamagnetic susceptibility as an experimental ...

Conceptions of freedom and ranking opportunity sets. A typology [PDF]

open access: yes
A wide diversity of rankings of opportunity sets are characterized through what is now commonly called the freedom of choice literature. An op-portunity set is better ranked when it provides more freedom.

Emergence of a Hexagonal Fe2S2 Single Layer Without a Bulk Counterpart via Phase Transformation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Upon annealing, single‐layer Mackinawite iron sulfide transforms into a previously unknown hexagonal Fe2S2${\rm Fe}_2{\rm S}_2$ phase with β$\beta$‐CuI structure. STM, LEED, and first‐principles calculations identify the structure and show that electronic correlations and magnetic order are important for its stability.

Capitalism vs. freedom

open access: yes, 2018
"For years, we've been taught that capitalism is good for freedom. Dominant right-wing talk radio hosts to this day recommend "libertarian" classics like Hayek's Road to Serfdom and Friedman's Capitalism and Freedom that claim markets free us, and this ...

Exceptional Electro‐Optic Coefficient Unlocked via Polarization Swaying in KNbO3 Thin Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
We present the largest reported electro‐optic response in any material to date, guided by a new design principle that exploits ultralow coercive field polarization swaying enabled by low‐symmetry ferroelectric phases in monoclinic KNbO3 thin films for energy‐efficient classical and quantum photonic integrated circuits. ABSTRACT The electro‐optic effect
