Summary: Highly sensitive force sensors of piezoelectric zinc oxide dual-gate thin film transistors are reported, along with an analytical model that elucidates the physical origins of their response. The dual-gate TFTs exhibited static and transient current changes under external forces, with an analytical model accurately portraying the piezoelectric response that modulates the energy-band edges and current-voltage characteristics. Demonstrating a field-tunable force response in single TFT, this work sheds light on the correlation between material properties and the force response in piezoelectric TFTs.

Summary: Coordination bonding is utilized for the first time to control molecular orientation in thin films, demonstrated using tetrapyridylporphyrin. The balance of coordination bonding and hydrogen bonding is controlled by changing the central metal ion of the porphyrin, resulting in the first realization of edge-on and face-on orientations. The mechanism of film structure formation is comprehensively explained based on the electron configuration of the central metal ion.

Summary: The macroscopic coherence in superconductors allows for dissipationless supercurrents, which can have significant implications in emerging quantum technologies. By implementing unequal supercurrents in the forward and backward directions, the superconducting diode effect can be achieved, enabling unprecedented functionalities. Through experiments and theoretical modeling, we demonstrate the strong superconducting diode effect in conventional superconducting thin films, as well as its enhancement when interfacing with a ferromagnetic semiconductor.

Summary: Solution-processable organic semiconductors offer promise for the future of organic electronic products, but high-performance materials and mature processing technologies are needed. Meniscus-guided coating (MGC) techniques show great potential for large-area, low-cost film aggregation and compatibility with roll-to-roll processes, especially for high-performance organic field-effect transistors.

Summary: In this study, the properties of phenethylammonium tin iodide perovskite thin films were modulated by introducing aromatic polymer additives, leading to improved morphology, crystallization, and inhibition of Sn2+ oxidation. The performance of the field-effect transistors based on the polymer-assisted thin films differed significantly, with one showing improved on-off current ratio and reduced leakage current, while the other exhibited relatively poor overall performance. The use of PVP and PVPD additives also enhanced the chemical stability of the perovskite and operational stabilities of the corresponding transistors.

Summary: A-axis oriented ZnMgO epitaxial thin films were developed with a strong linear electro-optic effect. The incorporation of Mg into ZnO films not only increases transmittance but also reduces leakage current. Furthermore, the linear electro-optic response is significantly enhanced with the increase in Mg content.

Summary: HfO2-based ferroelectrics are widely used in electronic devices, including ultralow-power logic circuits and nonvolatile memory. These ferroelectrics offer compatibility with complementary metal oxide semiconductor and demonstrate large coercive fields and ferroelectricity at sub-10 nm thicknesses. This article focuses on their application to surpass the physical limit of the subthreshold swing of field-effect transistors (FETs) by stabilizing negative capacitance. It also discusses HfO2-ferroelectric-based memories, such as two-terminal random-access devices, tunnel junctions, three-terminal ferroelectric FETs, and their respective 3D stacked architectures.

Summary: In this study, 2D layered n-butylammonium tin iodide perovskite thin films were successfully synthesized, and their potential for fabricating field-effect transistors was demonstrated for the first time. Based on first-principles calculations, the perovskite was predicted to have excellent transport characteristics. These findings not only provide a deep insight into the physical properties of 2D layered aliphatic monoammonium tin perovskite thin films but also offer important experimental and theoretical guidance for their potential applications in optoelectronic devices.
