This paper establishes a consistent, theory-based benchmark of 84 non-relativistic core ionization potentials computed at the full configuration interaction level to provide a chemically accurate reference for disentangling correlation and relaxation effects and validating widely used approximate methods.
Using the beta emission channeling method at CERN's ISOLDE facility, researchers determined that ion-implanted 6He in diamond primarily occupies tetrahedral interstitial sites, with an estimated migration activation energy of 1.63–2.89 eV indicating that free interstitial helium is unstable over geological timescales unless bound to defects or trapped in inclusions.
This paper presents an integrated machine learning framework that efficiently explores the high-dimensional composition space of refractory compositionally complex alloys (RCCAs) to predict phase stability and temperature-dependent mechanical properties, thereby accelerating the discovery of new high-temperature materials.
This study provides direct experimental evidence of spin-phonon coupling in CrSBr by observing temperature-dependent optical phonon modes in resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra that vanish at room temperature due to spin-phonon renormalization.
The paper introduces the BOS-Lig dataset, which assigns accurate net charges and functional application areas to over 66,000 experimentally synthesized ligands derived from 126,985 transition metal complexes using a novel consensus-based charge-balancing workflow and topic modeling.
This paper presents a data-driven framework that leverages large language models to extract compositional insights from scientific literature, enabling the accurate prediction and discovery of novel high-performance filler dopants for CoSb-based skutterudites, which are subsequently validated through quantum simulations.
This paper introduces HTC-Claw, an intelligent high-throughput computational platform built on the OpenClaw framework that overcomes the limitations of conventional workflows by utilizing an agent-based system to automatically decompose research goals, dynamically adapt processes based on real-time analysis, and execute closed-loop, end-to-end materials discovery campaigns.
This paper demonstrates an ultrafast nonlinear Hall effect in centrosymmetric black phosphorus by dynamically breaking inversion symmetry with femtosecond light pulses, revealing a polarization-selective, 300-fs-lasting current generation mechanism supported by momentum-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and *ab-initio* calculations.
Joint experimental and theoretical studies reveal that charge disproportionation drives the structural distortion and semiconducting gap formation in monoclinic -FePO, confirming its status as a rare room-temperature d-wave altermagnet candidate.
This study demonstrates that partial vanadium substitution in the Kitaev candidate BaCo2(AsO4)2 tunes the system through a critical point at approximately 10% concentration, where balanced competing exchange interactions and quantum fluctuations stabilize a complex magnetic ground state, offering a pathway to realize a quantum spin liquid.
