Researchers make advances in wurtzite nitride (Al,Sc)N ferroelectric thin films

Scandium-doped aluminum nitride ((Al,Sc)N) is a promising material for next-generation nonvolatile memory and MEMS applications due to its high remanent polarization, low dielectric constant, high Curie temperature, and preeminent thermal stability. Its compatibility with CMOS processes is particularly critical, enabling back-end-of-line (BEOL) integration and opening new pathways for low-power computing, data storage, and microsystems. However, […]

Phase transition in 2D PdSe2 offers new insights into energy-driven transformations

In traditional material systems, solid-state phase transitions typically refer to structural or property changes in response to external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, or chemical interaction. These transitions usually proceed continuously, with lattice reconstruction occurring simultaneously with energy input—such as in the cases of ion intercalation or atomic diffusion. However, previous studies observed an unusual […]

Researchers pioneer asymmetric synthesis of nitrogen chirality

The exploration of N-chirality dates back to Werner’s initial proposal in 1890, yet stable chirality in trisubstituted amines was not confirmed until 1944 with the resolution of Tröger’s base, whose rigidity enabled configurational stability. Later, Brios et al. (1968) identified stable N-chirality in non-bridged N-chloroaziridines, while acyclic amines—due to lack of ring strain—exhibited pronounced instability. […]
