By combining high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with density functional theory calculations, this study reveals previously unobserved topologically trivial surface states in the Dirac semimetal BaMg2Bi2, thereby reconciling discrepancies between prior experimental and theoretical results and providing a comprehensive understanding of its low-energy electronic structure.
This review comprehensively examines the fabrication, unique mechanical and physical properties, and diverse applications of freestanding thin-film materials while addressing current challenges and outlining future prospects in fields ranging from flexible electronics to quantum sensing.
This paper demonstrates that in a spin-only Kondo necklace model realized in a Ni-based complex, Kondo coupling to spin-1 moments mediates effective antiferromagnetic interactions that stabilize Néel order, establishing a universal boundary where Kondo interactions suppress magnetism for spin-1/2 but enhance it for spin-1 and higher.
This study reports the synthesis and characterization of a verdazyl-based Ni complex that realizes a geometrically frustrated one-dimensional triangular spin necklace, exhibiting antiferromagnetic ordering and field-induced decoupling of spin-1 moments.
This study reveals that photoinduced oxidation of Ag+ to Ag2+ drives a long-lived, metastable B-site cation disorder in Cs2AgInCl6 double perovskites, creating Ag-rich and In-rich domains with millisecond lifetimes that significantly reduce the optical bandgap.
This study demonstrates that modifying polyethylene separators with a synergistic combination of LAGP solid electrolyte and cobalt coatings effectively suppresses the polysulfide shuttle effect and enhances cycling stability in lithium-sulfur batteries, whereas nickel-based modifications showed inferior performance due to stability issues.
This study utilizes advanced molecular simulations with reliable water and carbon dioxide models to accurately predict the interfacial free energy of carbon dioxide hydrates at coexistence conditions, providing a computational alternative to experimental measurements and demonstrating the feasibility of determining hydrate free energies from a molecular perspective.
This paper presents an integrated workflow combining density functional theory, multi-fidelity machine learning, and high-throughput combinatorial synthesis to successfully discover and rapidly synthesize previously unknown metal phosphosulfides, demonstrating that accelerated materials development is viable even for challenging inorganic systems.
This study utilizes polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy and complementary optical measurements to unambiguously assign all Raman-active modes in CrCl and demonstrates that strong spin-lattice coupling drives pronounced structural and magnetic transitions across its antiferromagnetic, intermediate, and paramagnetic phases.
This study investigates calcium aluminosilicate glasses and reveals that local coordination changes, specifically aluminum bond switching, exhibit a positive correlation with fracture toughness, highlighting the necessity of considering diverse structural aspects to fully understand the material's mechanical properties.
