Article Abstract
We have systematically studied the electromagnetic transport properties of PbTe thin films under gate voltage modulation. The system demonstrates pronounced electron-electron interactions exclusively within the gate voltage range where only hole carriers are present. Furthermore, the Berry phase is utilized to qualitatively elucidate the transition between weak antilocalization (WAL) and weak localization (WL) through the regulation of gate voltage and temperature. Using the three-resistor model, we have effectively explained the correlation between the characteristic temperature of the - curve, the coexistence of electron-hole carriers, and the nonmonotonic temperature dependence of negative magnetoresistance (NMR), consistently indicating that complex magnetotransport phenomena are caused by microscopic disorder. Our research findings open up new avenues for exploring and manipulating the magnetotransport properties of PbTe thin films.

Nano-sized particles of semiconducting lead sulfide and selenide and their 2D thin layers show high potential in applications, such as field-effect transistors, photodetectors, solar cells, and thermoelectric devices. The generation of PbS and PbSe nanobars and nanocubes is evoked by in situ electron beam treatment, leading to the formation of thin, extended 2D nanolayers. The initial single crystals are decomposed via sublimation of PbS and PbSe in terms of molecular and atomic fragments, which finally condense on the cold substrate to form nanostructures.

Lattice mismatch is an intriguing concept that gives rise to various fascinating physical phenomena in emerging research fields such as twistronics and heterostructure devices, which are based on thin films. Although lattice mismatch generates defects and dislocations that significantly affect lattice thermal conductivity, studies on the effects of lattice mismatch in bulk materials remain insufficient. This study investigates the effects of lattice mismatch on the thermoelectric properties of GeTe-based bulk alloys, known for their excellent thermoelectric performance.

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have excellent immunity to short-channel effects and are therefore promising for ultrascaled field-effect transistors. However, ultrascaled transistors necessitate simultaneous minimization of the channel length and contact resistance, which is a significant challenge for atomically thin 2D semiconductors. In this work, a facile angle evaporation technique is developed to fabricate ultrashort channel monolayer 2D transistors with nonmetallic van der Waals (vdW) contacts.

Emergent phenomena arising from nontrivial band structures based on topology and symmetry have been attracting keen interest in contemporary condensed-matter physics. Materials such as SnTe and PbTe are one such example, which demonstrate a topological phase transition while showing ferroelectric instability derived from their rock-salt structure. The ferroelectricity can lift the valley degeneracy, enabling the emergence of the Z_{2} topological insulator phase, although its observation in transport phenomena remains elusive.

This study investigates the fabrication of large-area, highly-ordered monolayers of PbTe quantum dots (QDs) on TiO2/ITO substrate, using a fast, simple, and repeatable spin-coating technique. For the first time, a real monolayer (a layer with the height of a single QD) covering approximately 3 cm2 was successfully prepared, achieving a root-mean-square roughness (Rq) of 1.37 nm.
