We report a scalable approach to synthesize a large-area (up to 4 mm) thin black phosphorus (BP) film on a flexible substrate. We first deposited a red phosphorus (RP) thin-film on a flexible polyester substrate, followed by its conversion to BP in a high-pressure multi-anvil cell at room temperature. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements confirmed the formation of a nano-crystalline BP thin-film with a thickness of around 40 nm. Optical characterization indicates a bandgap of around 0.28 eV in the converted BP, similar to the bandgap measured in exfoliated thin-films. Thin-film BP transistors exhibit a field-effect mobility of around 0.5 cm2/Vs, which can probably be further enhanced by the optimization of the conversion process at elevated temperatures. Our work opens the avenue for the future demonstration of large-scale, high quality thin-film black phosphorus.

Strain engineering with different substrate facets is promising for tuning functional properties of thin film perovskite oxides. By choice of facet, different surface symmetries and chemical bond directions for epitaxial interfaces can be tailored. H ere, preparation of well-defined pseudo-cubic (111)-oriented orthorhombic substrates of DyScO3 , GdScO3 , and NdGaO3 is reported. The choice of orthorhombic facet, (011)o or (101)o , both corresponding to pseudo-cubic (111)pc , gives vicinal surfaces with single or double (111pc layer terrace step heights, respectively, impacting subsequent thin film growth. Orthorhombic LaFeO3 epitaxy on the (101)o facet reveals a distinction between alternating (111)pc layers, both during and after growth. The observed differences are explained based on the oxygen octahedral tilt pattern relative to the two orthorhombic (111)pc surfaces. This robust structural detail in the orthorhombic perovskite oxides enables utilisation of different (111)pc facets for property engineering, through polyhedral connectivity control and cation coordination at epitaxial interfaces.
Growth of perovskite oxide thin films on Si in crystalline form has long been a critical obstacle for the integration of multifunctional oxides into Si-based technologies. In this study, we propose pulsed laser deposition of a crystalline SrTiO3 thin film on a Si using graphene substrate. The SrTiO3 thin film on graphene has a highly (00l)-oriented crystalline structure which results from the partial epitaxy. Moreover, graphene promotes a sharp interface by highly suppressing the chemical intermixing. The important role of graphene as a 2D substrate and diffusion barrier allows expansion of device applications based on functional complex oxides.
This paper reports the synthesis and detailed characterization of graphite thin films produced by thermal decomposition of the (0001) face of a 6H-SiC wafer, demonstrating the successful growth of single crystalline films down to approximately one gr aphene layer. The growth and characterization were carried out in ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions. The growth process and sample quality were monitored by low-energy electron diffraction, and the thickness of the sample was determined by core level x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy shows constant energy map patterns, which are very sharp and fully momentum-resolved, but nonetheless not resolution limited. We discuss the implications of this observation in connection with scanning electron microscopy data, as well as with previous studies.
Recently rediscovered black phosphorus is a layered semiconductor with promising electronic and photonic properties. Dynamic control of its bandgap can enable novel device applications and allow for the exploration of new physical phenomena. However, theoretical investigations and photoemission spectroscopy experiments performed on doped black phosphorus through potassium adsorption indicate that in its few-layer form, an exceedingly large electric field in the order of several volts per nanometer is required to effectively tune its bandgap, making the direct electrical control unfeasible. Here we demonstrate the tuning of bandgap in intrinsic black phosphorus using an electric field directly and reveal the unique thickness-dependent bandgap tuning properties, arising from the strong interlayer electronic-state coupling. Furthermore, leveraging a 10-nm-thick black phosphorus in which the field-induced potential difference across the film dominates over the interlayer coupling, we continuously tune its bandgap from ~300 to below 50 milli-electron volts, using a moderate displacement field up to 1.1 volts per nanometer. Such dynamic tuning of bandgap may not only extend the operational wavelength range of tunable black phosphorus photonic devices, but also pave the way for the investigation of electrically tunable topological insulators and topological nodal semimetals.

We performed a numerical analysis of the material parameters required for realizing a heat flux sensor exploiting the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). The results showed the importance of high thermopower of ANE ($S_{text{ANE}}$) and small saturation m agnetization. This motivated us to investigate the effect of Al substitution of Fe on ANE and found $S_{text{ANE}} =$ 3.4 $mu$V/K in Fe$_{81}$Al$_{19}$ because of the dominant intrinsic mechanism. Using this material, we made a prototype ANE-based heat flux sensor on a thin flexible polyimide sheet and demonstrated accurate sensing with it. This study gives important information for enhancing sensor sensitivity.
