One prototypical example is hybrid magnonics in antiferromagnets with an easy-plane anisotropy that resembles a quantum-mechanically mixed two-level spin system through the coupling of acoustic and optical magnons. Generally, the coupling between these orthogonal modes is forbidden due to their opposite parity. Here we show that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya-Interaction (DMI), a chiral antisymmetric interaction that occurs in magnetic systems with low symmetry, can lift this restriction. We report that layered hybrid perovskite antiferromagnets with an interlayer DMI can lead to a strong intrinsic magnon-magnon coupling strength up to 0.24 GHz, which is four times greater than the dissipation rates of the acoustic/optical modes. Our work shows that the DMI in these hybrid antiferromagnets holds promise for leveraging magnon-magnon coupling by harnessing symmetry breaking in a highly tunable, solution-processable layered magnetic platform.}, number={1}, journal={NATURE COMMUNICATIONS}, author={Comstock, Andrew H. and Chou, Chung-Tao and Wang, Zhiyu and Wang, Tonghui and Song, Ruyi and Sklenar, Joseph and Amassian, Aram and Zhang, Wei and Lu, Haipeng and Liu, Luqiao and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Apr} } @article{li_huang_mencke_kandappa_wang_ding_jiang_amassian_liao_thompson_et al._2023, title={Interactions between nonfullerene acceptors lead to unstable ternary organic photovoltaic cells}, volume={120}, ISSN={["1091-6490"]}, DOI={10.1073/pnas.2301118120}, abstractNote={For organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices to achieve consistent performance and long operational lifetimes, organic semiconductors must be processed with precise control over their purity, composition, and structure. This is particularly important for high volume solar cell manufacturing where control of materials quality has a direct impact on yield and cost. Ternary-blend OPVs containing two acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A)-type nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) and a donor have proven to be an effective strategy to improve solar spectral coverage and reduce energy losses beyond that of binary-blend OPVs. Here, we show that the purity of such a ternary is compromised during blending to form a homogeneously mixed bulk heterojunction thin film. We find that the impurities originate from end-capping C=C/C=C exchange reactions of A-D-A-type NFAs, and that their presence influences both device reproducibility and long-term reliability. The end-capping exchange results in generation of up to four impurity constituents with strong dipolar character that interfere with the photoinduced charge transfer process, leading to reduced charge generation efficiency, morphological instabilities, and an increased vulnerability to photodegradation. As a consequence, the OPV efficiency falls to less than 65% of its initial value within 265 h when exposed to up to 10 suns intensity illumination. We propose potential molecular design strategies critical to enhancing the reproducibility as well as reliability of ternary OPVs by avoiding end-capping reactions.}, number={23}, journal={PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, author={Li, Yongxi and Huang, Xinjing and Mencke, Austin R. and Kandappa, Sunil Kumar and Wang, Tonghui and Ding, Kan and Jiang, Zuo-Quan and Amassian, Aram and Liao, Liang-Sheng and Thompson, Mark E. and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Jun} } @article{corzo_wang_gedda_yengel_khan_li_niazi_huang_kim_baran_et al._2022, title={A Universal Cosolvent Evaporation Strategy Enables Direct Printing of Perovskite Single Crystals for Optoelectronic Device Applications}, volume={34}, ISSN={0935-9648 1521-4095}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/adma.202109862}, DOI={10.1002/adma.202109862}, abstractNote={Solution-processed metal halide perovskite (MHP) single crystals (SCs) are in high demand for a growing number of printed electronic applications due to their superior optoelectronic properties compared to polycrystalline thin films. There is an urgent need to make SC fabrication facile, scalable, and compatible with the printed electronic manufacturing infrastructure. Here, a universal cosolvent evaporation (CSE) strategy is presented by which perovskite SCs and arrays are produced directly on substrates via printing and coating methods within minutes at room temperature from drying droplets. The CSE strategy successfully guides the supersaturation via controlled drying of droplets to suppress all crystallization pathways but one, and is shown to produce SCs of a wide variety of 3D, 2D, and mixed-cation/halide perovskites with consistency. This approach works with commonly used precursors and solvents, making it universal. Importantly, the SC consumes the precursor in the droplet, which enables the large-scale fabrication of SC arrays with minimal residue. Direct on-chip fabrication of 3D and 2D perovskite photodetector devices with outstanding performance is demonstrated. The approach shows that any MHP SC can now be manufactured on substrates using precision printing and scalable, high-throughput coating methods.}, number={9}, journal={Advanced Materials}, publisher={Wiley}, author={Corzo, Daniel and Wang, Tonghui and Gedda, Murali and Yengel, Emre and Khan, Jafar I and Li, Ruipeng and Niazi, Muhammad Rizwan and Huang, Zhengjie and Kim, Taesoo and Baran, Derya and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Jan}, pages={2109862} } @article{huang_vardeny_wang_ahmad_chanana_vetter_yang_liu_galli_amassian_et al._2021, title={Observation of spatially resolved Rashba states on the surface of CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals}, volume={8}, ISSN={1931-9401}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/5.0053884}, DOI={10.1063/5.0053884}, abstractNote={Hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites (HOIPs) are prime candidates for studying Rashba effects due to the heavy metal and halogen atoms in their crystal structure coupled with predicted inversion symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, observation of the Rashba effect in cubic CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals that possess bulk inversion symmetry is the subject of extensive debate due to the lack of conclusive experiments and theoretical explanations. Here, we provide experimental evidence that Rashba state in cubic CH3NH3PbBr3 single crystals at room temperature occurs exclusively on the crystal surface and depends on specific surface termination that results in local symmetry breaking. We demonstrate this using a suite of spatially resolved and depth-sensitive techniques, including circular photogalvanic effect, inverse spin Hall effect, and multiphoton microscopy, that are supported by first principle calculations. Our work suggests using surface Rashba states in these materials for spintronic applications.}, number={3}, journal={Applied Physics Reviews}, publisher={AIP Publishing}, author={Huang, Zhengjie and Vardeny, Shai R. and Wang, Tonghui and Ahmad, Zeeshan and Chanana, Ashish and Vetter, Eric and Yang, Shijia and Liu, Xiaojie and Galli, Giulia and Amassian, Aram and et al.}, year={2021}, month={Sep}, pages={031408} } @article{li_zhang_lu_yan_wang_li_wang_yu_mu_2018, title={A new polyoxovanadate-based metal-organic framework: synthesis, structure and photo-/electro-catalytic properties}, volume={42}, ISSN={["1369-9261"]}, DOI={10.1039/c7nj05032a}, abstractNote={A new polyoxovanadate-based metal–organic framework has been synthesized, which exhibits high-performance bifunctional photo-/electro-catalytic properties.}, number={9}, journal={NEW JOURNAL OF CHEMISTRY}, author={Li, Shaobin and Zhang, Li and Lu, Borong and Yan, Eryun and Wang, Tonghui and Li, Li and Wang, Jianxin and Yu, Yan and Mu, Qingdi}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={7247–7253} }
