Simulation-Based Performance and Limitations of Photovoltaic and Solar Water Heating Systems in a Passive-Designed Rural House

Rural houses in cold regions of China usually have high energy demands, particularly for space heating and domestic hot water. Passive design can reduce building energy demand, but additional renewable energy systems are still needed to improve on-site energy supply. This study e...

Breathing ferroelectricity, flat-bands and multiple chiral phonons in van der Waals breathing kagome Nb3Cl8

Van der Waals layered Nb3X8 (X=Cl, Br, I) are predicted to integrate multiple intriguing physical properties, notably multiferroicity and flat-bands that are highly promising for novel-principle memories and superconductors. However, direct experimental validations such as the pr...
