Giant bulk photovoltaic effect driven by interfacial symmetry breaking in MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 heterostructures

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures offer a versatile platform for engineering unconventional bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect through interfacial symmetry breaking. However, the coexistence of multiple photophysical mechanisms, driven by structural complexity, spontaneous charge...

Engineered Quartzand Kaolinite Nanoparticles in Biomedicaland Reservoir Fluids: Quantifying Aggregation Behavior in Saline Waterwith Surfactants

Abstract In this study, two nanoparticles (NPs) (kaolinite NP of 9 crystal units (9[Al2Si2O5(OH)4]) and quartz NP of 18 units (18[Si3O6])) are engineered based on the established crystal unit cell data. The aggregation behavior of NPs in saline water with a nonionic PEG-alkane su...
