Backbone‐Length‐Optimized Inhibitors Deliver Long‐Retention Selectivity in Area‐Selective ALD of VO2

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Area‐selective VO2 ALD is found to depend critically on inhibitor backbone length, which governs physisorption, chemisorption stability, and packing efficiency in a coupled manner. An intermediate backbone‐length achieves the best long‐retention selectivity, establishing a chemically and geometrically grounded design principle for small‐molecule ...

Large‐Scale Growth of Self‐Poled Ferroelectric Rashba Semiconductor α‐GeTe(111) Thin Films: A Crucial Step Towards Future CMOS‐Compatible Ferroelectric Spintronic Devices

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors promise ultralow‐power devices but lack industry‐quality films. This work demonstrates CMOS‐compatible fabrication of high‐quality α‐GeTe(111) films via magnetron sputtering, enabled by a 5 nm Sb2Te3 seed layer. Structural and ferroelectric analyses show robust, switchable polarization comparable to MBE films, paving

Surface Fermi Level Modulation of Photoanode by Optimized Conducting Nanoparticle Heterointerfaces for Enhanced Photoelectrochemical Water Splitting

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Optimizing the heterointerface coverage of the conducting Ni2P nanoparticles on the surface of BVO photoanode manipulates the surface Fermi‐level modulation, which significantly enhances photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution reaction. Our multiscale simulations and experimental results reveal that an optimal Ni2P coverage of 9.4% pins the surface Fermi

Shear Strength of One-Way Slabs Subjected to Concentrated Loads

Civil Engineering Journal
Reinforced concrete (RC) one-way slabs without transverse reinforcement are found extensively in bridge constructions. In the presence of concentrated loads (CLs) close to the supports, the shear strength (SS) of such slabs is usually determined using design expressions provided by the codes of practice that were derived originally from tests performed

K+‐Triggered Defect Engineering and Proton‐Coupled Storage in V2O5·nH2O for Advanced Zn‐Ion Thin‐Film and Microbatteries

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
K+ pre‐intercalation in V2O5·nH2O induces interlayer contraction, oxygen‐vacancy formation, and mixed‐valence states, activating defect‐mediated proton‐dominated transport. This enables cooperative H+/Zn2+ storage with enhanced kinetics and stability. The resulting Zn‐based thin‐film and microbatteries deliver high areal energy and capacity, offering a
