Manipulation of photoresponsive liquid-crystalline polymers and their applications: from nanoscale to macroscale
We summarize the molecular design of photoresponsive liquid-crystalline polymers, manipulation at multiple scales and various applications based on their intrinsic properties, providing an opportunity for future development in this field.
Epitaxially grown single-crystalline SrTiO3 membranes using a solution-processed, amorphous SrCa2Al2O6 sacrificial layer
Water-soluble sacrificial layers using solution processed, amorphous SrCa2Al2O6 sacrificial layer has been used for creating free-standing single-crystalline perovskite oxide membranes.

Surface chemistry in atomic layer deposition of AlN thin films from Al(CH3)3 and NH3 studied by mass spectrometry
Mass spectrometry shows that the surface chemistry in ALD of AlN is dominated by reductive elimination and ligand exchange.

Resolving local ordering and structure in MnxGe1−xTe alloys through thermodynamic ensembles of pair distribution functions
Local bonding environments can be characterized via ensemble averages of PDFs to provide insight into the relationship between synthetic temperature and structure.
Deciphering intramolecular charge transfer in fluoranthene derivatives
We present an intramolecular charge transfer state in fluoranthene derivatives, established using detailed spectroscopic techniques. The present work paves an avenue toward the design of fluoranthene-based chromophores for applications in optoelectronics.
About this collection
This special collection marks 10 years of our Emerging Investigators, an annual collection launched in 2014 showcasing high quality research being carried out by international researchers in the early stages of their independent careers. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of this initiative, the collection features new exciting work from contributors to the early Emerging Investigator collections. We hope you enjoy discovering how their research has progressed over the last 10 years.
New articles will be added to this collection as they are published.
