Dynamically tunable polarized mid-infrared light-emitting diodes from polarization singularities in a band-edge Weyl node.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The polarization states of light-emitting devices in conventional semiconductors are typically deterministically fixed by optical transition selection rules. However, in emerging Weyl semiconductors, band-crossing Weyl nodes introduce exotic polarization contrasts, making emission polarization sensitive to carrier dynamics. Here, we demonstrate mid-infrared light-emitting diodes based on van der Waals tellurium, a Weyl semiconductor featuring a Weyl node precisely at the conduction band minimum (CBM). These devices demonstrate high polarization tunability, with linear polarization degrees continuously adjustable from ~100% (low carrier density) to 36% (high carrier density). First-principles calculations reveal that this tunability originates from polarization singularities induced by CBM-located Weyl nodes, where the polarization state is dynamically modulated by the quasi-Fermi level shift and hot-carrier recombination under varying injection densities. Our findings establish band-edge Weyl nodes as a promising platform for tunable polarized emitters and open alternative avenues for topological optoelectronics.
