Stochastic interlayer charge transfer in two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures drives random switching of charge states and consequently leads to fluorescence blinking. Rational manipulation of the stochastic interlayer charge transfer remains challenging so far. Herein, we harness periodic moiré potentials in WS/MoS heterostructures to confine the stochastic interlayer transferred carriers in moiré minibands. Specifically, the combination of confined charges and intralayer neutral excitons of WS generates flickering moiré trions. The binding energy of moiré trions can be designed by the twist angles of the heterobilayers, while their intensity relies on the region-selective charge transfer channels. We further demonstrate that the stochastic charge transfer and the flickering trions can be optically manipulated by tuning the filling status of moiré potentials at different excitation powers. Our findings provide new avenues for a fundamental understanding of stochastic interlayer charge transfer and feasible strategies to manipulate the excitonic behavior in TMD heterostructures.

Undesired ice accumulation on infrastructure and transportation systems leads to catastrophic events and significant economic losses. Although various anti-icing surfaces with photothermal effects can initially prevent icing, any thawy droplets remaining on the horizontal surface can quickly re-freezing once the light diminishes. To address these challenges, we have developed a self-draining slippery surface (SDSS) that enables the thawy droplets to self-remove on the horizontal surface, thereby facilitating real-time anti-icing with the aid of sunlight (100 mW cm).

Context: This study investigates the radiation tolerance of a SiGe source vertical tunnel field effect transistor (VTFET) under heavy ion-induced single event effects (SEEs). Single event effects (SEEs) occur when high-energy particles interact with semiconductor devices, leading to unintended behavior. The effect of high energy ions on the VTFET is examined for various linear energy transfer (LET) values and at multiple ion hit locations.

Carbon-hydrogen bond activation is a pillar of synthetic chemistry. While it is generally accepted that Pd is more facile than Ni in C-H activation catalysis, there are no experimental platforms available to directly compare the magnitude of C-H bond weakening between Ni and Pd prior to bond scission. This work presents the first direct measurements of C(sp)-H bond acidity (p) and bond dissociation free energy (BDFE) for a species containing a ligated alkane-palladium interaction (RCH···Pd), also known as an agostic interaction.

Computer simulations play an essential role in the interpretation of experimental multiphoton absorption spectra. In addition, models derived from theory allow for the establishment of "structure-property" relationships. This work contributes to these efforts and presents the results of an analysis of two- and three-photon absorptions for a set comprising 450 conjugated molecules performed at the CAM-B3LYP/aug-cc-pVDZ level.

Nonfullerene acceptor-based organic solar cells have recently taken a milestone leap with power conversion efficiencies approaching 20%. A key to further boost the efficiencies up to the Shockley-Queisser limit rests upon attaining a delicate balance between exciton dissociation and charge transport. This perspective presents two seminal and reciprocal strategies developed by our group and others to reconcile the intricacy of charge carrier dynamics, spanning from intrinsic molecular structure design to extrinsic dopant exploitation.
