2D Bi2O2Te Semiconductor with Single-Crystal Native Oxide Layer

Following logic in the silicon semiconductor industry, the existence of native oxide and suitable fabrication technology is essential for 2D semiconductors in planar integronics, which are surface-sensitive to typical coating technologies. To date, very few types of integronics are found to possess this feature. Herein, the 2D Bi₂O₂Te developed recently is reported to possess large-area synthesis and controllable thermal oxidation behavior toward single-crystal native oxides. This shows that surface-adsorbed oxygen atoms are inclined to penetrate across [Bi₂O₂]_n²ⁿ⁺ layers and bond with the underlying [Te]_n²ⁿ⁻ at elevated temperatures, transforming directly into [TeO₄]_n²ⁿ⁻ with the basic architecture remaining stable. The oxide can be adjusted to form in an accurate layer-by-layer manner with a low-stress sharp interface. The native oxide Bi₂TeO₆ layer (bandgap of ≈2.9 eV) exhibits visible-light transparency and is compatible with wet-chemical selective etching technology. These advances demonstrate the potential of Bi₂O₂Te in planar-integrated functional nanoelectronics such as tunnel junction devices, field-effect transistors, and memristors.

Broadband photovoltaic effect of n-type topological insulator Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>Te<Subscript>3</Subscript> films on p-type Si substrates

We report the photovoltaic effects of n-type topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te3 films grown on p-type Si substrates by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).The films containing large nanoplates with a smooth surface formed on p-Si exhibit good p-n diode characteristics under dark and light illumination conditions and display a good photovoltaic effect under the broadband range from ultraviolet (UV) to near infrared (NIR) wavelengths.Under the light illumination with a wavelength of 1,000 nm,a short circuit current (Isc) of 19.2 μA and an open circuit voltage (Voc) of 235 mV are achieved.The maximum fill factor (FF) increases with a decrease in the wavelength or light density,achieving a value of 35.6％ under 600 nm illumination.The photoresponse of the n-Bi2Te3/p-Si device can be effectively switched between the on and off modes in millisecond time scale.These findings are important for both the fundamental understanding and solar cell device applications of TI materials.

Estimation of Basins of Attraction for Uncertain Systems with Affine and Lipschitz Dynamics

This paper is devoted to estimation and numerical approximation of basins of attraction for a class of uncertain systems. We consider systems described by a differential equation depending of a disturbance known by its bounds. By using viability theory tools, we derive basins of attraction lower and upper estimates. We present numerical simulation results of the viability kernel algorithm to basin of attraction approximation problems.

Existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated quartz and calcite

The existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated minerals, namely, quartz and calcite were investigated and confirmed. The structures, forms, and phases of these large quantities of fluid inclusions were also studied. A mass of fluid inclusions with various sizes, distributions, shapes, and phases exist in bornite and its associated minerals. Their sizes vary from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers, and the forms appear as negative crystals, or elongated, elliptical, and irregular. At room temperature, fluid inclusions were mainly characterized as gas-liquid two- phase. However, small amounts of fluid inclusions with pure gas phase and pure liquid single-phase were also observed in quartz and calcite. These fluid inclusions initially broke during the ore crushing and grinding process and then released into the flotation pulp in the flotation process. The quantitative analysis of fluid inclusions in the solution and the comparisons of mineral dissolution show that the amount of copper and iron released by fluid inclusions in the bornite sample is higher than the amount dissolved by the mineral; fluid inclusions in the associated gangue minerals, quartz, and calcite also make contribution.
