The Lifetime Sample Tracking (LiST) platform is a comprehensive data management system developed by the 2DCC-MIP to automate the curation, analysis, and dissemination of diverse materials science data, thereby enabling closed-loop synthesis-design iterations and supporting machine learning research for approximately twenty thousand samples.
Using spin-polarized scanning tunneling spectroscopy, this study demonstrates that near-zero-energy localized states observed on the surface of the iron-based superconductor Fe(Te,Se) are topologically trivial Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states rather than Majorana zero modes, highlighting the critical role of spin-dependent analysis in distinguishing true topological signatures from trivial defect states.
This paper reveals that superlubric sliding ferroelectrics (SL-sFEs) exhibit a unique hybrid electronic-ionic polarization driven by the coupling between interlayer sliding and spacer layer buckling, resulting in diverse hysteresis behaviors that distinguish them from conventional sliding ferroelectrics.
This study demonstrates that Ni core-level photoelectron spectroscopy overcomes the spectral overlap issues inherent in Ni measurements of La-based nickelates, offering a clearer view of intrinsic electronic excitations and enabling detailed comparisons across the Ruddlesden-Popper series.
This paper proposes and validates a method to unambiguously extract individual current-phase relation harmonics in asymmetric SQUIDs by analyzing the distinct Bessel-function-modulated signatures of the ac-flux-driven diode effect, offering a robust spectroscopic tool for investigating unconventional superconductors.
This paper demonstrates that within an optimization-driven framework for linearly elastic solids, minimizing the work of external loads causes initially volumetric growth to concentrate into singular surface or interface distributions, thereby providing a variational mechanism for the selection of surface growth over volumetric growth.
This paper demonstrates that fragile topological phases, despite lacking protected gapless boundary states, robustly manifest as bulk Dirac cones in two-dimensional materials with time-reversal and twofold rotation symmetry, a prediction confirmed by first-principles calculations in five specific materials.
This study demonstrates that a biomass-based activated carbon outperforms a commercial coal-derived counterpart in dynamic CO2 capture due to its superior ultramicroporosity and surface chemistry, a finding validated through combined experimental breakthrough tests and atomistic simulations.
This study demonstrates that an epitaxial YIG/YIAG/YIG trilayer heterostructure supports hybrid magnon modes through dipolar coupling across a paramagnetic YIAG spacer, a phenomenon experimentally verified by FMR and BLS measurements and accurately modeled by both analytical and micromagnetic approaches.
This study demonstrates that n-doped MoSe2/WS2 heterobilayers within an optical microcavity exhibit strikingly non-monotonic optical nonlinearities and high-velocity trion polaritons with diffusion lengths near 100 microns, driven by Lindhard screening and the absence of electron capture in the Moiré superlattice.
