To boost our materials discovery solutions, we join forces with Kebotix, experts in secure, scalable, AI-accelerated workflows (press release). SCM and Kebotix are developing an integrated software platform to enable researchers to develop new and...
Highlights with ‘semiconductors’
Excitons with a twist: 2D optoelectronics
A recent experimental and theoretical study uncovers the effect of twisting layers in van der Waals heterostructures. Exciton transport in heterobilayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs, MXenes) is found to be modulated by the twist...
2Exciting: ITN on 2D optoelectronics
2Exciting is a new MSCA-ITN-ETN European Training Network on two-dimensional semiconductors and their optoelectronic properties – it has just been selected for funding by the EU. The consortium includes universities and small companies across 10...
New single-layer 2D Covalent Organic Framework discovered: TANG-COF
The discovery of ballistic charge transport in graphene ignited the quest for two-dimensional (2D) materials and they are now used in various applications, such as electronics and materials science. In particular, 2D π-conjugated covalent organic...
Accurate optical spectra of semi-conductors and insulators
Our BAND developers in Toulouse published a simple yet accurate method to obtain accurate optical spectra for semi-conductors and insulators. In a recent Phys. Rev. B paper they combine time-dependent DFT with the dynamical Polarization...
Analyzing bonding interactions of molecules on surfaces: Paper & Tutorial
A recent review paper on periodic energy decomposition analysis (pEDA) by Lisa Pecher & Ralf Tonner was widely covered in the media (HLRS, CMFE, EurekAlert). The pEDA calculations enable deep insight in molecule-surface interactions, which...
