Biodiversity can buffer ecosystem functioning against extreme climatic events, but few experiments have explicitly tested this. Here, we present the first multisite biodiversity × drought manipulation experiment to examine drought resistance and recovery at five temperate and Mediterranean grassland...

Abstract The photocatalytic characteristics of two-dimensional (2D) GeC-based van der Waals heterobilayers (vdW-HBL) are systematically investigated to determine the amount of hydrogen (H 2 ) fuel generated by water splitting. We propose several vdW-HBL structures consisting of 2D-GeC and 2D-SiC wit...

Abstract The high electronegativity between the atoms of two-dimensional (2D) group-III nitrides makes them attractive to demonstrating a strong out-of-plane piezo-electricity effect. Energy harvesting devices can be predicted by cultivating such salient piezoelectric features. This work explores th...

Abstract Graphene based two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials have attracted enormous attention because of their extraordinary physical properties. In this study, we explore the temperature and interlayer coupling induced thermal transport across the graphene/2D-SiC vdW interface using ...

The notable out-of-plane piezoelectric effect caused by the large electronegativity of the constituent elements makes two-dimensional (2D) group III nitrides appealing for nanoscale energy-harvesting applications. Here, we demonstrate by extensive density functional theory investigations that the ve...

The experimental knowledge of the AlSb monolayer with a double-layer honeycomb structure is largely based on a recent publication [Le Qin et al., ACS Nano 2021, 15, 8184]. In the present work, we aim to explore the effect of phosphorus alloying on the structural, electronic, and optical properties o...

Abstract Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) through sulfidation of MoO 3 is one of the most important synthesis techniques to obtain large-scale and high-quality two-dimensional (2D) MoS 2 . Recently, H 2 S precursor is being used in the CVD technique to synthesize 2D MoS 2 . Although several studies h...

From first-principles calculations, we predict four new intercalated hexagonal XBC (X = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) compounds to be dynamically stable and phonon-mediated superconductors. These compounds form a LiBC like structure but are metallic. The calculated superconducting critical temperature, Tc, of MgB...

For decades, the fundamental driving force behind energy-efficient and cost-effective electronic components has been the downward scaling of electronic devices. However, due to approaching the fundamental limits of silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) devices, various emergin...

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures made by vertical assembling of two different layers have drawn immense attention in the photocatalytic water disassociation process. Herein, we suggest a novel 2D/2D vdW heterobilayer consisting of silicon carbide (SiC) and aluminum ...

Because of the rapid shrinking trend of integrated circuits, the performances of nanodevices and nanomechanical systems are greatly affected by the joule heating and mechanical failure dilemma. In addition, structural defects are inevitable during experimental synthesis of nanomaterials, which may a...

Abstract Of late, atomically thin two-dimensional zinc-sulfide (2D-ZnS) shows great potential for advanced nanodevices and as a substitute to graphene and transition metal di-chalcogenides owing to its exceptional optical and electronic properties. However, the functional performance of nanodevices ...
