  • The developments in carbon-modified graphitic carbon nitride for photoelectrochemical water splitting: a mini review

    Yuewen Yang, Tingrui Xu & Ruiqin Zhang

    Abstract Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN), as a potential photoelectrode for photoelectrochemical water splitting, has garnered significant research attention owing to its favorable attributes, including a suitable bandgap, abundant elemental composition, excellent thermal stability, and non-toxicity. However, the limited efficiency of visible light absorption and poor electrical conductivity of pure g-CN result in low photocurrent density and photocatalytic activity, falling short of meeting th

  • Surface and bulk acoustic wave resonators based on aluminum nitride for bandpass filters

    Xian-Hu Zha, Jing-Ting Luo, Ran Tao & Chen Fu

    Abstract Bandpass filters with high frequency and wide bandwidth are indispensable parts of the fifth-generation telecommunication technologies, and currently, they are mainly based on surface and bulk acoustic wave resonators. Owing to its high mechanical strength, excellent stability at elevated temperatures, good thermal conductivity, and compatibility with complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology, aluminum nitride (AlN) becomes the primary piezoelectric material for high-frequency

  • Farewell to Peter Fulde

    Yunkyu Bang (President of APCTP)

    Farewell to Peter Fulde by Yunkyu Bang (President of APCTP) On April 11th, 2024, Prof. Peter Fulde peacefully passed away at his home in Dresden, Germany. Along with many others, I found it difficult to accept this sad news. I flew to Dresden and shared my sorrow with many people at his funeral on May 3rd at the Alter Annenfriedhof in Dresden. Prof. Fulde's passing symbolizes the fading out of the generation that shaped condensed matter physics of the 20th century. In many senses, he was a gian
