Pressure induced structural phase crossover of a GaSe epilayer grown under screw dislocation driven mode and its phase recovery.

ABSTRACT: Hydrostatically pressurized studies using diamond anvil cells on the structural phase transition of the free-standing screw-dislocation-driven (SDD) GaSe thin film synthesized by molecular beam epitaxy have been demonstrated via in-situ angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The early pressure-driven hexagonal-to-rock salt transition at approximately ~ 20 GPa as well as the outstandingly structural-phase memory after depressurization in the SDD-GaSe film was recognized, attributed to the screw dislocation-assisted mechanism. Note that, the reversible pressure-induced structural transition was not evidenced from the GaSe bulk, which has a layer-by-layer stacking structure. In addition, a remarkable 1.7 times higher in bulk modulus of the SDD-GaSe film in comparison to bulk counterpart was observed, which was mainly contributed by its four times higher in the incompressibility along c-axis. This is well-correlated to the slower shifting slopes of out-of-plane phonon-vibration modes in the SDD-GaSe film, especially at low-pressure range (< 5 GPa). As a final point, we recommend that the intense density of screw dislocation cores in the SDD-GaSe lattice structure plays a crucial role in these novel phenomena.

Screw-Dislocation-Driven Growth Mode in Two Dimensional GaSe on GaAs(001) Substrates Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy.

Project description:Regardless of the dissimilarity in the crystal symmetry, the two-dimensional GaSe materials grown on GaAs(001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy reveal a screw-dislocation-driven growth mechanism. The spiral-pyramidal structure of GaSe multi-layers was typically observed with the majority in ?-phase. Comprehensive investigations on temperature-dependent photoluminescence, Raman scattering, and X-ray diffraction indicated that the structure has been suffered an amount of strain, resulted from the screw-dislocation-driven growth mechanism as well as the stacking disorders between monolayer at the boundaries of the GaSe nanoflakes. In addition, Raman spectra under various wavelength laser excitations explored that the common ?-phase of 2D GaSe grown directly on GaAs can be transformed into the ?-phase by introducing a Se-pretreatment period at the initial growth process. This work provides an understanding of molecular beam epitaxy growth of 2D materials on three-dimensional substrates and paves the way to realize future electronic and optoelectronic heterogeneous integrated technology as well as second harmonic generation applications.

High-Quality GaSe Single Crystal Grown by the Bridgman Method.

Project description:A high-quality GaSe single crystal was grown by the Bridgman method. The X-ray rocking curve for the studied GaSe sample is symmetric and the Full Width at Half Maximum (FWHM) is only 46 arcs, which is the smallest value ever reported for GaSe crystals. The IR-transmittance is about 66% in the range from 500 to 4000 cm-1. The photoluminescence spectrum at 9.2 K shows a symmetric and sharp excition peak in 2.1046 eV. The results indicate that the as-grown GaSe crystal is of high crystalline quality. The as-grown ε -GaSe crystal has a p-type conductance with the resistivity of 10³ Ω/cm, and the Hall mobility is ~25 cm² V-1 s-1. Few-layer GaSe crystals were prepared through mechanical exfoliation from this high-quality crystal sample. Few-layer GaSe-based photodetectors were fabricated, which exhibit an on/off ratio of 10⁴, a field-effect differential mobility of 0.4 cm² V-1 s-1, and have a fast response time less than 60 ms under light illumination.

Substrate-induced strain in 2D layered GaSe materials grown by molecular beam epitaxy.

Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) layered GaSe films were grown on GaAs (001), GaN/Sapphire, and Mica substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The in situ reflective high-energy electron diffraction monitoring reveals randomly in-plane orientations of nucleated GaSe layers grown on hexagonal GaN/Sapphire and Mica substrates, whereas single-orientation GaSe domain is predominant in the GaSe/GaAs (001) sample. Strong red-shifts in the frequency of in-plane [Formula: see text] vibration modes and bound exciton emissions observed from Raman scattering and photoluminescence spectra in all samples are attributed to the unintentionally biaxial in-plane tensile strains, induced by the dissimilarity of symmetrical surface structure between the 2D-GaSe layers and the substrates during the epitaxial growth. The results in this study provide an important understanding of the MBE-growth process of 2D-GaSe on 2D/3D hybrid-heterostructures and pave the way in strain engineering and optical manipulation of 2D layered GaSe materials for novel optoelectronic integrated technologies.

Engineering Single Nanopores on Gold Nanoplates by Tuning Crystal Screw Dislocation.

Project description:Compared with the large variety of solid gold nanostructures, synthetic approaches for their hollow counterparts are limited, largely confined to chemical and irradiation-based etching of preformed nanostructures. In particular, the preparation of through nanopore structures is extremely challenging. Here, a unique strategy for direct synthesis of gold nanopores in solution without the need for sacrificial templates or postsynthesis processing is reported. By controlling the degree of crystal screw dislocation, a single through pore with diameter ranging from sub-nanometer to tens of nanometers, in the center of large gold nanoplates, can be engineered with precision. Ionic current rectification behaviors are observed using the gold nanopore, potentially enabling new capabilities in biosensing, sequencing, and imaging.

Pressure-Driven Spin Crossover Involving Polyhedral Transformation in Layered Perovskite Cobalt Oxyfluoride.

Project description:We report a novel pressure-driven spin crossover in layered cobalt oxyfluoride Sr2CoO3F with a distorted CoO5 square pyramid loosely bound with a fluoride ion. Upon increasing pressure, the spin state of the Co(III) cation gradually changes from a high spin state (S = 2) to a low spin state (S = 0) accompanied by a anomalously large volume contraction (bulk modulus, 76.8(5) GPa). The spin state change occurs on the CoO5 pyramid in a wide pressure range, but the concomitant gradual shrinkage of the Co-F bond length with pressure gives rise to a polyhedral transformation to the CoO5F octahedron without a structural phase transition, leading to the full conversion to the LS state at 12 GPa. The present results provide new effective strategy to fine-tune electronic properties of mixed anion systems by controlling the covalency in metal-ligand bonds under pressure.

Screw dislocation-induced pyramidal crystallization of dendron-like macromolecules featuring asymmetric geometry.

Project description:We report herein that dendron-shaped macromolecules AB n crystallize into well-ordered pyramid-like structures from mixed solvents, instead of spherical motifs with curved structures, as found in the bulk. The design of the asymmetric molecular architecture and the choice of mixed solvents are applied as strategies to manipulate the crystallization process. In mixed solvents, the solvent selection for the Janus macromolecule and the existence of dominant crystalline clusters contribute to the formation of flat nanosheets. Whereas during solvent evaporation, the bulkiness of the asymmetric macromolecules easily creates defects within 2D nanosheets which lead to their spiral growth through screw dislocation. The size of the nanosheets and the growth into 2D nanosheets or 3D pyramidal structures can be regulated by the solvent ratio and solvent compositions. Moreover, macromolecules of higher asymmetry generate polycrystals of lower orderliness, probably due to higher localized stress.

Pressure-driven electronic phase transition in the high-pressure phase of nitrogen-rich 1H-tetrazoles.

Project description:High-energy-density materials (HEDMs) require new design rules collected from experimental and theoretical results and a proposed mechanism. One of the targeted systems is the nitrogen-rich compounds as precursors for possible polymeric nitrogen or its counterpart in a reasonable pressure range. 1H-tetrazole (CH2N4) with hydrogen bonds was studied under pressure by both diffraction and spectroscopy techniques. The observed crystal structure phase transition and hydrogen bond-assisted electronic structure anomaly were confirmed by first-principles calculation. The rearrangement of the hydrogen bonds under pressure elucidates the bonding interactions of the nitrogen-rich system in local 3D chemical environments, allowing the discovery and design of a feasible materials system to make new-generation high-energy materials.

Emergent superconductivity in an iron-based honeycomb lattice initiated by pressure-driven spin-crossover.

Project description:The discovery of iron-based superconductors (FeSCs), with the highest transition temperature (Tc) up to 55 K, has attracted worldwide research efforts over the past ten years. So far, all these FeSCs structurally adopt FeSe-type layers with a square iron lattice and superconductivity can be generated by either chemical doping or external pressure. Herein, we report the observation of superconductivity in an iron-based honeycomb lattice via pressure-driven spin-crossover. Under compression, the layered FePX3 (X = S, Se) simultaneously undergo large in-plane lattice collapses, abrupt spin-crossovers, and insulator-metal transitions. Superconductivity emerges in FePSe3 along with the structural transition and vanishing of magnetic moment with a starting Tc ~ 2.5 K at 9.0 GPa and the maximum Tc ~ 5.5 K around 30 GPa. The discovery of superconductivity in iron-based honeycomb lattice provides a demonstration for the pursuit of transition-metal-based superconductors via pressure-driven spin-crossover.

Pressure-induced magnetic crossover driven by hydrogen bonding in CuF₂(H₂O)₂(3-chloropyridine).

Project description:Hydrogen bonding plays a foundational role in the life, earth, and chemical sciences, with its richness and strength depending on the situation. In molecular materials, these interactions determine assembly mechanisms, control superconductivity, and even permit magnetic exchange. In spite of its long-standing importance, exquisite control of hydrogen bonding in molecule-based magnets has only been realized in limited form and remains as one of the major challenges. Here, we report the discovery that pressure can tune the dimensionality of hydrogen bonding networks in CuF₂(H₂O)₂(3-chloropyridine) to induce magnetic switching. Specifically, we reveal how the development of O-H···Cl exchange pathways under compression combined with an enhanced ab-plane hydrogen bonding network yields a three dimensional superexchange web between copper centers that triggers a reversible magnetic crossover. Similar pressure- and strain-driven crossover mechanisms involving coordinated motion of hydrogen bond networks may play out in other quantum magnets.

Twin Boundaries merely as Intrinsically Kinematic Barriers for Screw Dislocation Motion in FCC Metals.

Project description:Metals with nanoscale twins have shown ultrahigh strength and excellent ductility, attributed to the role of twin boundaries (TBs) as strong barriers for the motion of lattice dislocations. Though observed in both experiments and simulations, the barrier effect of TBs is rarely studied quantitatively. Here, with atomistic simulations and continuum based anisotropic bicrystal models, we find that the long-range interaction force between coherent TBs and screw dislocations is negligible. Further simulations of the pileup behavior of screw dislocations in front of TBs suggest that screw dislocations can be blocked kinematically by TBs due to the change of slip plane, leading to the pileup of subsequent dislocations with the elastic repulsion actually from the pinned dislocation in front of the TB. Our results well explain the experimental observations that the variation of yield strength with twin thickness for ultrafine-grained copper follows the Hall-Petch relationship.
