Evidence for Electron–Hole Crystals in a Mott Insulator

Background In recent years, researchers have shown significant interest in electron-hole crystals within Mott insulators. These types of crystals can achieve quantum excited states, have the potential to support counterflow superfluidity and topological order, and possess long-range quantum entanglement characteristics. However, experimental eviden...

Enabling Three-Dimensional Real-Time Analysis of Ionic Colloidal Crystallization

Real-Time 3D Analysis of Ionic Colloidal Crystallization Background and Motivation In the study of molecular crystals, the structure is typically identified through scattering techniques, as we cannot directly observe the internal structure. Due to their larger volume, micrometer-sized colloidal particles allow us to observe their crystallization p...

Mobile Iodides Capture for Highly Photolysis- and Reverse-Bias-Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

Mobile Iodine Capture Technology Enhances the Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells Background Introduction Perovskite Solar Cells (PSCs) are considered promising candidates for future photovoltaic power generation due to their high efficiency and low cost. However, the stability issues of perovskite materials themselves, particularly photolysis and ...
