Environmental Barrier Coating Surface Temperature Mapping Using a Compatible Er-Doped Sc 2 SiO 5 Temperature-Sensing Layer

Accurate surface temperature-mapping capabilities in the 1300 to 1500 °C range are needed for SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composites protected by environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) under testing in turbine engine environment facilities. The strong background thermal radiation at these higher temperatures is a challenging issue. Er-doped Y 2 SiO 5 was previously shown to be capable of achieving luminescence lifetime-based temperature mapping up to 1560 °C as a standalone material. However, compatibility issues between an Er-doped Y 2 SiO 5 surface temperature sensing layer and an underlying Sc 2 Si 2 O 7 -based EBC topcoat limited temperature mapping of the EBC surface to a maximum of 1380 °C. Therefore, an Er-doped Sc 2 SiO 5 temperature sensing layer has been subsequently developed with better compatibility with the Sc2Si2O7-based EBC topcoat. Localized spot temperature measurements as well as luminescence lifetime imaging-based temperature mapping were demonstrated up to 1535 °C from a 15 µm thick Er-doped Sc 2 SiO 5 layer at the surface of a Sc2Si2O7-based EBC topcoat, a significant improvement over the Er-doped Y2SiO5 layer 1380 °C temperature sensing limit. No degradation of the Er-doped Sc 2 SiO 5 temperature sensing surface layer was observed.

P-Type Doping of Mixed Tin–Lead Halide Perovskites Using Electron Transfer to Mo(tfd-COCF3) 3 and F 4 TCNQ

Mixed tin-lead halide perovskites are emerging as promising candidates to address the toxicity issues of lead-based perovskites and to provide additional bandgap tunability for optoelectronic applications. Electron-transfer doping offers a prospective pathway to modulate electronic properties of metal-halide perovskites, while not disturbing the underlying crystal structure. However, limited research exists comparing molecular dopants for these systems. Here, our study investigates the p-type electron-transfer doping of the mixed tin-lead halide perovskite MAPb 0.5 Sn 0.5 I 3 (MA = methylammonium) using a sequential deposition approach (perovskite film followed by dopant incorporation) and the molecular dopants F 4 TCNQ and Mo(tfd-COCF 3 ) 3 . Up to 3 orders of magnitude higher carrier density and up to 2 orders of magnitude greater conductivity are achieved relative to the undoped samples, with F 4 TCNQ and Mo(tfd-COCF 3 ) 3 demonstrating similar doping efficiencies (associated with the ratio of mobile charges added to the number of dopant molecules incorporated) of 0.031(3) % and 0.024(3) %, respectively. Differences in the doping effectiveness for a given molarity doping solution likely follow from variations in dopant incorporation within the film during the spin coating deposition step.

Co‐Doping Approach for Enhanced Electron Extraction to TiO 2 for Stable Inorganic Perovskite Solar Cells

Inorganic perovskite CsPbI 3 solar cells hold great potential for improving the operational stability of perovskite photovoltaics. However, electron extraction is limited by the low conductivity of TiO 2 , representing a bottleneck for achieving stable performance. In this study, a co‐doping strategy for TiO 2 using Nb(V) and Sn(IV), which reduces the material's work function by 80 meV compared to Nb(V) mono‐doped TiO 2 , is introduced. To gain fundamental understanding of the processes at the interfaces between the perovskite and charge‐selective layer, transient surface photovoltage measurements are applied, revealing the beneficial effect of the energetic and structural modification on electron extraction across the CsPbI 3 /TiO 2 interface. Using 2D drift‐diffusion simulations, it is found that co‐doping reduces the interface hole recombination velocity by two orders of magnitude, increasing the concentration of extracted electrons by 20%. When integrated into n–i–p solar cells, co‐doped TiO 2 enhances the projected T S80 lifetimes under continuous AM1.5G illumination by a factor of 25 compared to mono‐doped TiO 2 . This study provides fundamental insights into interfacial charge extraction and its correlation with operational stability of perovskite solar cells, offering potential applications for other charge‐selective contacts.

Nitrogen: A promising doping strategy for high-performance ovonic threshold switching selectors

The Ovonic Threshold Switching (OTS) selector serves as an essential component in the development of three-dimensional high-density memory integration technology. Nevertheless, the state-of-the-art high-performance OTS materials usually contain toxic elements such as arsenic (As), posing significant risks to both environmental and human health. Nitrogen (N), which belongs to the same group as arsenic (As), has emerged as a highly promising alternative for As doping. However, the underlying mechanisms that govern N-based OTS materials have not yet been extensively investigated. In this study, we delve into the effects of N doping on the structural, bonding, and electronic properties of amorphous GeSe (a-GeNSe) by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to bridge the knowledge gap. Our findings indicate that upon N doping in a-GeSe, the formation of robust Ge-N bonds, along with N-centered tetrahedral and triangular structures, resulting in the sluggish atomic movement that enhances the thermal stability and endurance of a-GeNSe. The OTS characteristics are significantly influenced by the material’s electronic band structure, and thus the relatively slow performance drift can be attributed to the stabilization of mid-gap states, a result of N doping which effectively slows down the aging process of chalcogenide glass. Moreover, the increased mobility gap in a-GeNSe raises the threshold voltage (V th ), making it more compatible with commercially available phase-change memory materials. Furthermore, our findings reveal the extensive impact of the N element on a typical OTS material and offer valuable perspectives for alternative doping strategies that could potentially supplant As practices.

First-principles elucidation of the effects of Al-doping on Li-ion diffusion in LiCoO 2

Al-doped garnet Li 7 La 3 Zr 2 O 12 solid-electrolyte and LiCoO 2 cathode are promising choices as catholyte materials in all solid-state Li batteries, however, interdiffusion of Al is commonly evident during high-temperature processing and electrochemical cycling. Furthermore, to address the impact of Al interdiffusion on Li + transport properties in LiCoO 2 , we carried out a systematic evaluation of Al doping on Li + diffusion barriers in LiCoO 2 using first-principles based methods. Following the monovacancy diffusion mechanism, Al-doping (primarily at the Co site) is found to improve Li diffusion kinetics in the LiCoO 2 lattice due to favorable CoO 6 octahedral distortion experienced at the transition states. However, when considering the previously established dominant divacancy diffusion mechanism, slower Li diffusion is generally expected. In addition, a broad variation of Li diffusion barriers is observed upon Al doping, which suggests the system may suffer from non-uniform Li incorporation and diffusion that adversely affects its rate capacity during cycling. In summary, this work highlights, for the rational design of catholyte of all solid-state batteries, special attention may need to be paid to address the potential impact of non-intentional doping induced during processing on the overall electrochemical performance of the catholyte.

Basal Plane Doping to Activate Colloidal MoS 2 Nanosheets for Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of para- Cresol

The valorization of biomass into biofuels is a critical process for producing renewable fuels. Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO), particularly over doped molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), a transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) material, is a common representative catalytic reaction system for converting biomass-derived materials into useful hydrocarbons. However, the location and role of dopants, such as Co, in HDO is not fully understood. The effects of dopant location and oxidation state are often precluded by inhomogeneity in the ensemble properties of nanosheet size and dopant dispersion, as well as difficulty in observing the behavior of atomic site behavior directly. Using a colloidal approach to synthesize cobalt-doped MoS 2 nanosheets with controlled dopant concentration, combined with X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we determine that basal plane doped Co (25% Co:Mo mole ratio) shows peak catalytic activity in HDO of para-cresol, a model biomass-derived compound, and that basal Co sites are demonstrably more active than edge sites. By observing these doping effects in MoS 2 catalysts for HDO, we can further optimize not only the production of carbon-neutral fuels but also direct the tailoring of doped TMD catalysts toward their intended applications.

Pressure-Modulated Energy Transfer Dynamics in Mn 2+ -Doped CdS/ZnS Core/Shell Quantum Dots

Transition metal doping in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) significantly impacts their optical properties, thus expanding the range of their potential optoelectronic applications. This study investigates the pressure-dependent energy transfer dynamics in Mn 2+ -doped CdS/ZnS core/shell QDs, focusing on how external hydrostatic pressure modulates these dynamics and optical properties. By synthesizing Mn 2+ -doped QDs with varying Mn 2+ doping concentrations, we explore the effects of the pressure on photoluminescence (PL) spectra and energy transfer efficiency. Our study reveals that increasing pressure induces a blueshift in the QD host bandgap PL and a redshift in the Mn 2+ dopant PL. The pressure-induced shifts highlight a unique modulation mechanism where the energy transfer efficiency decreases with pressure due to reduced wave function overlap between host excitons and Mn 2+ dopants. Detailed analysis of the PL quantum yields and energy transfer rate constants provides insights into these dynamics, suggesting that the pressure can effectively and reversibly regulate the energy transfer efficiencies and rates. In conclusion, these results have implications for developing pressure-sensitive configurable devices and exploring pressure-induced phenomena in doped nanomaterials.

Influence of gadolinium doping on structural, optical, and electronic properties of polymeric graphitic carbon nitride

Polymeric graphitic carbon nitride (gCN) materials have received great attention in the fields of photo and electrocatalysis due to their distinct properties in metal-free systems with high physicochemical stability. Nevertheless, the activity of undoped gCN is limited due to its relatively low specific surface area, low conductivity, and poor dispersibility. Doping Gd atoms in a gCN matrix is an efficient strategy to fine-tune its catalytic activity and its electronic structure. Herein, the influence of various wt% of gadolinium (Gd) doped in melon-type carbon nitride was systematically investigated. Gadolinium-doped graphitic carbon nitride (GdgCN) was synthesized by adding gadolinium nitrate to dicyandiamide during polymerization. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results revealed that the crystallinity and the morphological properties are influenced by the % of Gd doping. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) studies revealed that the gadolinium ions bonded with nitrogen atoms. Complementary density functional theory (DFT) calculations illustrate possible bonding configurations of Gd ions both in bulk material and on ultrathin melon layers and provide evidence for the corresponding bandgap modifications induced by gadolinium doping.

Reaction mechanisms for electrical doping of organic semiconductors using complex dopants

Electrical doping of organic semiconductors (OSCs) can be achieved using simple one-electron reductants and oxidants as n- and p-dopants, respectively, but for such dopants, increased doping strength is accompanied by increased sensitivity to ambient moisture and/or oxygen. “Indirect” or “complex” dopants—defined here as those that generate OSC radical cations or anions via pathways more complex than a single simple electron transfer, i.e., by multistep reactions—represent a means of circumventing this problem. Further, this review highlights the importance of understanding the reaction mechanisms by which such dopants operate for: (i) ensuring a researcher knows the composition of a doped material; (ii) predicting the thermodynamic feasibility of achieving doping with related dopant:OSC combinations; and (iii) predicting whether thermodynamically feasible doping reactions are likely to be rapid or slow, or to require subsequent activation. The mechanistic information available to date for some of the wide variety of complex n- and p-dopants that have been reported is then reviewed, emphasizing that in many cases our knowledge is far from complete.

Cu(II) Stability and UV-Induced Electron Transfer in a Metal–Organic Hybrid: An EPR, DFT, and Crystallographic Characterization of Copper-Doped Zinc Creatininium Sulfate

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic experiments, complemented by quantum chemical DFT calculations, were carried out on the copper-doped metal–organic hybrid and Tutton salt analogue zinc creatininium sulfate to determine its crystal structure, to characterize the electronic structure of the doped Cu(II) binding site, and to propose a pathway for an excited-state, proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) process in UV-exposed crystals. The crystal structure is isomorphous to that of cadmium creatininium sulfate, which has the transition ion, not in direct coordination with the creatinine, but forming a hexahydrate complex, which is bridged to a creatininium through an intervening sulfate ion. The EPR g (2.446, 2.112, 2.082) and copper hyperfine (A Cu : -327, -59.6, 10.8 MHz) tensor parameters are consistent with doped copper replacing host zinc in the metal–hexahydrate complex. These parameters are similar to those observed for copper hexahydrate in doped Tutton salt systems at low temperature, where the unpaired electron occupies mainly the copper 3d x 2 –y 2 orbital. At room temperature in the Tutton systems, vibration couplings stemming from a dynamic Jahn–Teller effect cause tensor averaging which results in a reduction in their maximum g-tensor and hyperfine tensor values. However, like for the doped isomorphous Cd creatinine crystal, the Cu(II) EPR exhibits little, or no room temperature averaging compared to its low temperature pattern. Samples exposed to 254 nm UV light generate a carbon-centered free radical species, characterized by an isotropic g-tensor (g = 2.0029) and an alpha-proton hyperfine coupling (-24 -14 +4 G). These parameters identify it as a creatinine radical cation formed by the oxidative release of one of its C2 methylene hydrogens. DFT calculations confirm the unpaired electronic structures of both the Cu(II) site and free radical. The growth in radical concentration with an increase in the UV exposure time coincides with a decrease in the copper EPR signal, indicating a coupled light-induced oxidation reduction process. A comparison of the crystal structure with the EPR parameters and DFT results provides evidence for a UV-induced PCET.

Radiolytic Production of Radical Species in Gibbsite Doped with Iron and Chromium Ions

Gibbsite (aluminum hydroxide, Al(OH) 3 ) nanoparticles, synthesized from aluminum chloride or aluminum nitrate, were doped with metal ions, Cr(III) or Fe(III), and then irradiated with γ rays to determine the effect of the dopants on radiolytic hydrogen (H 2 ) production and radical generation. The addition of Cr(III) and Fe(III) ions at concentrations of 0.5% or 5% decreased the concentration of stable oxygen-centered radicals, with the strongest suppression in Cr(III) doped samples. A decrease in H 2 yields was observed with increasing Cr(III) or Fe(III) concentrations, with the greatest effect observed for the Fe(III)-doped samples. Reduction of the Cr(III) to Cr(II) and Fe(III) to Fe(II) was also observed, probably due to scavenging of radiolytically produced electrons. However, further processes differ for Fe(III)- and Cr(III)-doped systems. Both ions are reduced by the free electrons, leading to a decrease in H 2 production, but they react differently with the oxygen radicals. Cr(III) can be oxidized by oxygen radicals, whereas Fe(III) cannot. Fe(II) can interact with peroxides, possible products of intermediate oxygen oxidation, converting back to Fe(III) and leaving oxygen radicals behind. These oxidation reactions lead to a difference in the observed relative effects on H 2 yields and oxygen radical production between Cr(III)- and Fe(III)-doped gibbsite. In conclusion, the connection between electron scavenging and H 2 production indicates that radiolytically produced electrons are precursors to H 2 .

Enhanced Neutron and γ-Ray Detection via 6 Li Substitution in Undoped and Tl-Doped Zero-Dimensional Perovskite Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 Scintillators

Radiation detectors are crucial in a wide variety of research and commercial applications, such as oil and gas exploration, medical imaging, nuclear nonproliferation, and homeland security. Neutron and gamma-ray detectors are fundamental components in portal monitors at ports and border crossings, bolstering national security against radiological threats. This study presents a dual-mode scintillator, undoped and Tl-doped 6 Li-Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 , and demonstrates its potential as a promising material for simultaneous thermal neutron and gamma-ray detection. We explore the Bridgman growth of both undoped and thallium doped Li → Cu and Li → Cs substitutional systems with various Li doping levels and assess their impact on scintillation properties. Under 662 keV gamma-ray excitation, the undoped crystals had light yields up to 35,900 ph/MeV, with energy resolutions down to 4.5%. The Tl-doped crystals performed better than the undoped crystals with light yields peaking at 65,900 ph/MeV and energy resolutions as low as 3.5%. When exposed to a moderated 252 Cf excitation source, our crystals had light yields between 102,900 and 167,200 photons per thermal neutron capture, with a full energy thermal neutron peak reaching 3 MeV in gamma equivalent energy. Pulse shape discrimination studies reveal well-separated gamma and neutron events, resulting in Figure-Of-Merit (FOM) as high as 3.7. Furthermore, these findings highlight the potential of Li-doped Cs 3 Cu 2 I 5 as a viable candidate for next-generation dual-mode scintillators.

Compressive strain turns 𝑠 ± - into 𝑑-wave pairing in a one-unit-cell La 3 ⁢Ni 2 ⁢O 7 thin film via substrate-induced hole doping

Motivated by recent reports of ambient-pressure superconductivity in La 3 ⁢Ni 2⁢ O 7 films grown on LaSrAlO 4 , we investigate the superconducting instability in a one-unit-cell (1UC) thin film using ab initio and random-phase approximation techniques. Compared to the high-pressure bulk system, the ratio of interlayer 𝑑 3⁢𝑧 2 −𝑟 2 hopping to intralayer 𝑑 𝑥 2 −𝑦 2 hopping is suppressed in the 1UC thin film, and the crystal-field splitting of the 𝑒 𝑔 orbitals is increased. Here, our calculation indicates that spin-fluctuation-driven pairing correlations are weak for the stoichiometric case at ambient pressure, but increase significantly under hole doping. The leading pairing symmetry is also found to change by hole doping. Specifically, we obtain a leading 𝑑 𝑥 2 −𝑦 2 pairing state at moderate hole doping, followed by a 𝑑 𝑥⁢𝑦 state at higher doping. These states are driven by intraband spin-fluctuation scattering within the 𝛾 hole pocket centered around the 𝑀 point, and arise primarily from states in the Ni layer farther from the substrate. These results strongly suggest that the thin-film superconducting samples are hole-doped and that pairing in this system predominantly arises in the layer, as opposed to the interlayer pairing in the pressurized bulk system.

Evolution of charge correlations in the hole-doped kagome superconductor CsV 3−𝑥⁢ Ti 𝑥 ⁢Sb 5

The interplay between superconductivity and charge correlations in the kagome metal CsV 3⁢ Sb 5 can be tuned by external perturbations such as doping or pressure. Here we present a study of charge correlations and superconductivity upon hole doping via Ti substitution on the V kagome sites in CsV 3−𝑥 ⁢Ti 𝑥 ⁢Sb 5 via synchrotron x-ray diffraction and scanning superconducting quantum interference device measurements. While the superconducting phase, as viewed via the vortex structure, remains conventional and unchanged across the phase diagram, the nature of charge correlations evolves as a function of hole doping from the first superconducting dome into the second superconducting dome. For Ti doping in the first superconducting dome, competing 2×2×2 and 2×2×4 supercells form within the charge density wave state and are suppressed rapidly with carrier substitution. In the second superconducting dome, no charge correlations are detected. Here, comparing these results to those observed for CsV 3 ⁢Sb 5−𝑥 ⁢Sn 𝑥 suggests important differences between hole doping via chemical substitution on the V and Sb sites, particularly in the disorder potential associated with each dopant.

Observation of room-temperature charge density wave correlations via coherent phonon spectroscopy in the Sn-doped kagome superconductor CsV 3 ⁢Sb 5

In this study, we perform ultrafast time-resolved reflectivity measurements to track the evolution of charge density wave (CDW) correlations in Sn-doped Kagome superconductor CsV 3⁢ Sb 5−𝑥 ⁢Sn 𝑥 . By extracting the coherent phonon spectrum, we evidence robust signatures of CDW correlations at temperature and doping ranges far beyond the phase boundary of long-range CDW order. Remarkably, we show that short-range CDW correlations survive up to room temperature in 𝑥 = 0.32 Sn-doped CsV 3 ⁢Sb 5 , supported by synchrotron x-ray diffraction measurements. We point out that the introduction of quenched disorder by Sn doping can pin the CDW and form static short-range CDW, which can explain the observed persistent CDW signatures. Our results thus corroborate the ubiquity and robustness of CDW correlations in Sn-doped CsV 3⁢ Sb 5 and provide new insights on the role of disorders on the CDW correlations in AV 3 ⁢Sb 5 family.

Possible coexistence of magnetism and paramagnetic singularity in lightly Fe-doped WTe 2

Topological semimetals possess nodal or nodal-line phases where conduction and valence bands touch at points or lines in momentum space, respectively. Such band touching is symmetry protected and gives rise to exotic and interesting electronic properties. Coupling topological order with magnetism provides a platform for exploring time-reversal (TR) symmetry breaking topological physics, such as axion electrodynamics, inverse spin-galvanic effect, and the quantized anomalous Hall effect. The Weyl semimetal (WSM) requires breaking either TR symmetry or lattice inversion symmetry (I). By doping inversion-symmetry-broken WSM with magnetic dopants, one can expect to create a WSM with both symmetries breaking simultaneously. Here, structural, electrical, and magnetic properties of Fe x ⁢W 1–x Te 2 (x = 0 and 0.011) are reported. It is revealed that, with a small Fe doping concentration (x = 0.011), a ferromagnetism is induced at low temperature (<10 K). Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy measurements in Fe 0.011 ⁢W 0.989 ⁢Te 2 further reveal only substitution and no intercalated dopants being observed. The probabilities of the Fe substitutions at the two nonequivalent W sites are quantified with equal probability. The dl/dV point spectra indicates that the Fe substitution in WTe 2 manifests itself as electron doping regardless of doping sites. The results clearly reveal the possible coexistence of magnetism and Weyl points in the lightly Fe doped WTe2 at low temperature. Furthermore, this provides an ideal system for further study on the interplay between the topological Weyl points and the TR symmetry breaking.
