Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that a new Special Issue, entitled “Research on Interfaces and Transportation Phenomena in Materials under Extreme Conditions”, is open to submissions. With the rapid development of nanotechnology and material science, researchers are able to observe and investigate transportation phenomena under extreme conditions, such as atomic scale, high power density, ultra-fast process, etc. Advanced atomic scale simulation methods, including molecular dynamics simulation, first-principle calculation, the Monte Carlo method, etc., enable us to thoroughly understand the physical mechanism of transportation. This Special Issue is open to submissions on new measurement techniques, simulations, and the theoretical modeling of transportation phenomena under extreme conditions, among other things, providing new insights and perspectives.

Ferrovalley materials are garnering significant interest for their potential roles in advancing information processing and enhancing data storage capabilities. This study utilizes first-principles calculations to determine that the Janus monolayer TiTeCl exhibits the properties of a ferrovalley semiconductor. This material demonstrates valley polarization with a notable valley splitting of 80 meV. Additionally, the Berry curvature has been computed across the first Brillouin zone of the monolayer TiTeCl. The research also highlights that topological phase transitions ranging from ferrovalley and half-valley metals to quantum anomalous Hall effect states can occur in monolayer TiTeCl under compressive strains ranging from −1% to 0%. Throughout these strain changes, monolayer TiTeCl maintains its ferromagnetic coupling. These characteristics make monolayer TiTeCl a promising candidate for the development of new valleytronic and topological devices. Full article

Two-dimensional nanomaterials have obvious advantages in thermoelectric device development. It is rare to use the same experimental system to accurately measure multiple thermoelectrical parameters of the same sample. Therefore, scholars have developed suspended microdevices, T-type and H-type methods to fulfill the abovementioned requirements. These methods usually require a direct-current voltage signal to detect in Seebeck coefficient measurement. However, the thermoelectric potential generated by the finite temperature difference is very weak and can be easily overwritten by the direct-current voltage, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy. In addition, these methods generally require specific electrodes to measure the thermoelectric potential. We propose a measurement method that combines laser heating with an H-type device. By introducing a temperature difference in two-dimensional materials through laser heating, the thermoelectric potential can be accurately measured. This method does not require specific electrodes to simplify the device structure. The thermoelectrical parameters of supported graphene are successfully measured with this method; the results are in good agreement with the literature. The proposed method is unaffected by material size and characteristics. It has potential application value in the characterization of thermoelectric physical properties. Full article
