Anisotropic to Isotropic Transition in Monolayer Group-IV Tellurides.

ABSTRACT: Monolayer group-IV tellurides with phosphorene-derived structures are attracting increasing research interest because of their unique properties. Here, we systematically studied the quasiparticle electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional group-IV tellurides (SiTe, GeTe, SnTe, PbTe) using the GW and Bethe-Salpeter equation method. The calculations revealed that all group-IV tellurides are indirect bandgap semiconductors except for monolayer PbTe with a direct gap of 1.742 eV, while all of them are predicted to have prominent carrier transport ability. We further found that the excitonic effect has a significant impact on the optical properties for monolayer group-IV tellurides, and the predicted exciton binding energy is up to 0.598 eV for SiTe. Interestingly, the physical properties of monolayer group-IV tellurides were subject to an increasingly isotropic trend: from SiTe to PbTe, the differences of the calculated quasiparticle band gap, optical gap, and further exciton binding energy along different directions tended to decrease. We demonstrated that these anisotropic electronic and optical properties originate from the structural anisotropy, which in turn is the result of Coulomb repulsion between non-bonding electron pairs. Our theoretical results provide a deeper understanding of the anisotropic properties of group-IV telluride monolayers.

Selective and low temperature transition metal intercalation in layered tellurides.

Project description:Layered materials embrace rich intercalation reactions to accommodate high concentrations of foreign species within their structures, and find many applications spanning from energy storage, ion exchange to secondary batteries. Light alkali metals are generally most easily intercalated due to their light mass, high charge/volume ratio and in many cases strong reducing properties. An evolving area of materials chemistry, however, is to capture metals selectively, which is of technological and environmental significance but rather unexplored. Here we show that the layered telluride T2PTe2 (T=Ti, Zr) displays exclusive insertion of transition metals (for example, Cd, Zn) as opposed to alkali cations, with tetrahedral coordination preference to tellurium. Interestingly, the intercalation reactions proceed in solid state and at surprisingly low temperatures (for example, 80 °C for cadmium in Ti2PTe2). The current method of controlling selectivity provides opportunities in the search for new materials for various applications that used to be possible only in a liquid.

Hybrid Silica-Based Fillers in Nanocomposites: Influence of Isotropic/Isotropic and Isotropic/Anisotropic Fillers on Mechanical Properties of Styrene-Butadiene (SBR)-Based Rubber.

Project description:The improvement of mechanical properties of polymer-based nanocomposites is usually obtained through a strong polymer-silica interaction. Most often, precipitated silica nanoparticles are used as filler. In this work, we study the synergetic effect occurring between dual silica-based fillers in a styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR)/polybutadiene (PBD) rubber matrix. Precipitated Highly Dispersed Silica (HDS) nanoparticles (10 nm) have been associated with spherical Stöber silica nanoparticles (250 nm) and anisotropic nano-Sepiolite. By imaging filler at nano scale through Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy, we have shown that anisotropic fillers align only in presence of a critical amount of HDS. The dynamic mechanical analysis of rubber compounds confirms that this alignment leads to a stiffer nanocomposite when compared to Sepiolite alone. On the contrary, spherical 250 nm nanoparticles inhibit percolation network and reduce the nanocomposite stiffness.

How anisotropic and isotropic atomic displacement parameters monitor protein covalent bonds rigidity: isotropic B-factors underestimate bond rigidity.

Project description:Under the assumption that covalent bonds are rigid, it is possible to compare the estimations of rigidity based on anisotropic and isotropic B-factors. This is done by computing the difference of the mean-square displacements (Delta-u) of atoms A and Z along the covalent bond A-Z, which must be close to zero for a rigid bond. The analysis of a high-quality set of protein structures, refined at a resolution better than (or equal to) 0.8 Angstroms, showed that Delta-u is significantly close to zero when anisotropic B-factors are used, with an average 60% Delta-u reduction. This reduction is larger for larger B-factors and this suggests that care should be taken in data-mining procedures that involve isotropic B-factors, especially at lower resolution, when anisotropic B-factors cannot be determined and when the average B-factor increases.

Visualization of anisotropic-isotropic phase transformation dynamics in battery electrode particles.

Project description:Anisotropy, or alternatively, isotropy of phase transformations extensively exist in a number of solid-state materials, with performance depending on the three-dimensional transformation features. Fundamental insights into internal chemical phase evolution allow manipulating materials with desired functionalities, and can be developed via real-time multi-dimensional imaging methods. Here, we report a five-dimensional imaging method to track phase transformation as a function of charging time in individual lithium iron phosphate battery cathode particles during delithiation. The electrochemically driven phase transformation is initially anisotropic with a preferred boundary migration direction, but becomes isotropic as delithiation proceeds further. We also observe the expected two-phase coexistence throughout the entire charging process. We expect this five-dimensional imaging method to be broadly applicable to problems in energy, materials, environmental and life sciences.

Isotropic Failure Criteria Are Not Appropriate for Anisotropic Fibrous Biological Tissues.

Project description:The von Mises (VM) stress is a common stress measure for finite element models of tissue mechanics. The VM failure criterion, however, is inherently isotropic, and therefore may yield incorrect results for anisotropic tissues, and the relevance of the VM stress to anisotropic materials is not clear. We explored the application of a well-studied anisotropic failure criterion, the Tsai–Hill (TH) theory, to the mechanically anisotropic porcine aorta. Uniaxial dogbones were cut at different angles and stretched to failure. The tissue was anisotropic, with the circumferential failure stress nearly twice the axial (2.67 ± 0.67 MPa compared to 1.46 ± 0.59 MPa). The VM failure criterion did not capture the anisotropic tissue response, but the TH criterion fit the data well (R2 = 0.986). Shear lap samples were also tested to study the efficacy of each criterion in predicting tissue failure. Two-dimensional failure propagation simulations showed that the VM failure criterion did not capture the failure type, location, or propagation direction nearly as well as the TH criterion. Over the range of loading conditions and tissue geometries studied, we found that problematic results that arise when applying the VM failure criterion to an anisotropic tissue. In contrast, the TH failure criterion, though simplistic and clearly unable to capture all aspects of tissue failure, performed much better. Ultimately, isotropic failure criteria are not appropriate for anisotropic tissues, and the use of the VM stress as a metric of mechanical state should be reconsidered when dealing with anisotropic tissues.

Ion adsorption promotes Frank-van der Merwe growth of 2D transition metal tellurides.

Project description:Reliable synthesis methods for high-quality, large-sized, and uniform two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are crucial for their device applications. However, versatile approaches to growing high-quality, large-sized, and uniform 2D transition-metal tellurides are rare. Here, we demonstrate an ion adsorption strategy that facilitates the Frank-van der Merwe growth of 2D transition-metal tellurides. By employing this method, we grow MoTe2 and WTe2 with enhanced lateral size, reduced thickness, and improved uniformity. Comprehensive characterizations confirm the high quality of as-grown MoTe2. Moreover, various characterizations verify the adsorption of K+ and Cl- ions on the top surface of MoTe2. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis reveals that the MoTe2 is stoichiometric without K+ and Cl- ions and exhibits no discernable oxidation after washing. This top surface control strategy provides a new controlling knob to optimize the growth of 2D transition-metal tellurides and holds the potential for generalized to other 2D materials.

Anisotropic polymer nanoparticles with controlled dimensions from the morphological transformation of isotropic seeds.

Project description:Understanding and controlling self-assembly processes at multiple length scales is vital if we are to design and create advanced materials. In particular, our ability to organise matter on the nanoscale has advanced considerably, but still lags far behind our skill in manipulating individual molecules. New tools allowing controlled nanoscale assembly are sorely needed, as well as the physical understanding of how they work. Here, we report such a method for the production of highly anisotropic nanoparticles with controlled dimensions based on a morphological transformation process (MORPH, for short) driven by the formation of supramolecular bonds. We present a minimal physical model for MORPH that suggests a general mechanism which is potentially applicable to a large number of polymer/nanoparticle systems. We envision MORPH becoming a valuable tool for controlling nanoscale self-assembly, and for the production of functional nanostructures for diverse applications.

Anisotropic moire optical transitions in twisted monolayer/bilayer phosphorene heterostructures.

Project description:Moiré superlattices of van der Waals heterostructures provide a powerful way to engineer electronic structures of two-dimensional materials. Many novel quantum phenomena have emerged in graphene and transition metal dichalcogenide moiré systems. Twisted phosphorene offers another attractive system to explore moiré physics because phosphorene features an anisotropic rectangular lattice, different from isotropic hexagonal lattices previously reported. Here we report emerging anisotropic moiré optical transitions in twisted monolayer/bilayer phosphorenes. The optical resonances in phosphorene moiré superlattice depend sensitively on twist angle and are completely different from those in the constitute monolayer and bilayer phosphorene even for a twist angle as large as 19°. Our calculations reveal that the Γ-point direct bandgap and the rectangular lattice of phosphorene give rise to the remarkably strong moiré physics in large-twist-angle phosphorene heterostructures. This work highlights fresh opportunities to explore moiré physics in phosphorene and other van der Waals heterostructures with different lattice configurations.

Morphology, Rheological and Mechanical Properties of Isotropic and Anisotropic PP/rPET/GnP Nanocomposite Samples.

Project description:The effect of graphene nanoplatelets (GnPs) on the morphology, rheological, and mechanical properties of isotropic and anisotropic polypropylene (PP)/recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET)-based nanocomposite are reported. All the samples were prepared by melt mixing. PP/rPET and PP/rPET/GnP isotropic sheets were prepared by compression molding, whereas the anisotropic fibers were spun using a drawing module of a capillary viscometer. The results obtained showed that the viscosity of the blend is reduced by the presence of GnP due to the lubricating effect of the graphene platelets. However, the Cox-Merz rule is not respected. Compared to the PP/rPET blend, the GnP led to a slight increase in the elastic modulus. However, it causes a slight decrease in elongation at break. Morphological analysis revealed a poor adhesion between the PP and PET phases. Moreover, GnPs distribute around the droplets of the PET phase with a honey-like appearance. Finally, the effect of the orientation on both systems gives rise not only to fibers with higher modulus values, but also with high deformability and a fibrillar morphology of the dispersed PET phase. A fragile-ductile transition driven by the orientation was observed in both systems.
