    Abstract The Internet of Things (IoT) is demonstrating its huge innovation potential, but at the same time, its spread can induce one of highest environmental impacts caused by the IoT industry. This concern has motivated the rise of a new research area aimed at devising green IoT deployments. Our work falls in this research area by contributing to addressing the problem of assessing the environmental impact of IoT deployments. Specifically, we propose a methodology based on an analytical model to assess the environmental impact of an outdoor IoT deployment powered by solar energy harvesting. The model inputs the specification of the IoT devices that constitute the deployment in terms of the battery, solar panel and electronic components, and it outputs the energy required for the entire life-cycle of the deployment and the waste generated by its disposal. Given an existing IoT deployment, the models also determine a functionally equivalent baseline green solution, which is an ideal configuration with a lower environmental impact than the original solution. We validated the proposed methodology by means of the analysis of a case study conducted over an existing IoT deployment developed within the European project RESCATAME. In particular, by means of the model, we evaluate the impact of the RESCATAME system and assess its impact with respect to its baseline. In a scenario with a 30-year lifespan, the model estimates for the system more than 3 times the energy required by its baseline green solution and a waste for a volume 15 times greater. We also show how the impact of the baseline increases when assuming deployments in locations at increasing latitudes. Finally, the article presents an implementation of the proposed methodology as a web service that is publicly available.

    Abstract Strain engineering modifies the optical and electronic properties of atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides. Highly inhomogeneous strain distributions in two-dimensional materials can be easily realized, enabling control of properties on the nanoscale; however, methods for probing strain on the nanoscale remain challenging. In this work, we characterize inhomogeneously strained monolayer MoS

    Abstract Elucidating the carrier density at which strongly bound excitons dissociate into a plasma of uncorrelated electron-hole pairs is a central topic in the many-body physics of semiconductors. However, there is a lack of information on the high-density response of excitons absorbing in the near-to-mid ultraviolet, due to the absence of suitable experimental probes in this elusive spectral range. Here, we present a unique combination of many-body perturbation theory and state-of-the-art ultrafast broadband ultraviolet spectroscopy to unveil the interplay between the ultraviolet-absorbing two-dimensional excitons of anatase TiO_{2} and a sea of electron-hole pairs. We discover that the critical density for the exciton Mott transition in this material is the highest ever reported in semiconductors. These results deepen our knowledge of the exciton Mott transition and pave the route toward the investigation of the exciton phase diagram in a variety of wide-gap insulators.

    Abstract Strong coupling between light and elementary excitations is emerging as a powerful tool to engineer the properties of solid-state systems. Spin-correlated excitations that couple strongly to optical cavities promise control over collective quantum phenomena such as magnetic phase transitions, but their suitable electronic resonances are yet to be found. Here, we report strong light-matter coupling in NiPS

    Abstract Recent experiments have demonstrated that light can induce a transition from the quantum paraelectric to the ferroelectric phase of SrTiO_{3}. Here, we investigate this terahertz field-induced ferroelectric phase transition by solving the time-dependent lattice Schrödinger equation based on first-principles calculations. We find that ferroelectricity originates from a light-induced mixing between ground and first excited lattice states in the quantum paraelectric phase. In agreement with the experimental findings, our study shows that the nonoscillatory second harmonic generation signal can be evidence of ferroelectricity in SrTiO_{3}. We reveal the microscopic details of this exotic phase transition and highlight that this phenomenon is a unique behavior of the quantum paraelectric phase.

    Abstract Layered hybrid perovskites exhibit emergent physical properties and exceptional functional performances, but the coexistence of lattice order and structural disorder severely hinders our understanding of these materials. One unsolved problem regards how the lattice dynamics are affected by the dimensional engineering of the inorganic frameworks and their interaction with the molecular moieties. Here, we address this question by using a combination of spontaneous Raman scattering, terahertz spectroscopy, and molecular dynamics simulations. This approach reveals the structural dynamics in and out of equilibrium and provides unexpected observables that differentiate single- and double-layered perovskites. While no distinct vibrational coherence is observed in double-layered perovskites, an off-resonant terahertz pulse can drive a long-lived coherent phonon mode in the single-layered system. This difference highlights the dramatic change in the lattice environment as the dimension is reduced, and the findings pave the way for ultrafast structural engineering and high-speed optical modulators based on layered perovskites.

    Abstract Controlling the excitonic optical properties of room temperature semiconductors using time-dependent perturbations is key to future optoelectronic applications. The optical Stark effect in bulk and low-dimensional materials has recently shown exciton shifts below 20 meV.
