This first-principles study proposes two newly synthesized gold monolayer phases, goldene-I and goldene-II, as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, demonstrating their metallic nature, structural stability, and high volumetric capacities with goldene-II reaching 0.783 Ah/cm³ and goldene-I exhibiting ultra-low diffusion barriers for rapid ion transport.
This paper revisits the structural relaxation and optical transitions of native defects and carbon impurities in LiGaO, specifically employing symmetry-breaking distortions to resolve previous contradictions and revise the transition levels of the lithium vacancy to better explain the material's p-type conductivity.
This study demonstrates that high-temperature (1350 K) self-ion irradiation of tungsten creates nm-sized voids that serve as unique deuterium trapping sites, leading to a distinct damage dose dependence where deuterium retention surpasses that observed at lower temperatures and reaches 1.7 at.% at 2.3 dpa without saturation, a behavior explained by reaction-diffusion simulations involving both molecular gas and atomic trapping within the voids.
This study demonstrates that in large-angle helical twisted trilayer graphene, a moiré potential generated at the hBN-aligned top layer can electrostatically modulate a spatially decoupled, structurally unmoiréd twisted bilayer subsystem, revealing that moiré effects can extend beyond their structural interfaces through remote coupling.
This study reveals that epitaxial FeTe thin films exhibit a large, nonmonotonic anomalous Hall effect below their Néel temperature, characterized by a striking nonlinear field dependence and a negative intercept that arises from the interplay between the material's topological band structure, Kondo-driven band renormalization, and a field-induced canted magnetic moment.
This study demonstrates that diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM) is a critical mechanism driving rapid chromium depletion and subsurface porosity in Ni-30Cr alloys exposed to molten salts, with the severity of corrosion being decisively influenced by the material's initial surface microstructure.
This study reveals that the complex magnetic phases and multiple skyrmion lattices in Eu(GaAl) originate from an x-dependent Lifshitz transition and subsequent Fermi-surface nesting-induced RKKY interactions, rather than the traditionally assumed Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.
This study provides conclusive evidence for the dual-topology nature of Eu(Ga,Al) magnets by using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to directly observe robust topological surface states derived from bulk Dirac nodal lines and their unique coupling to magnetic skyrmions.
The paper reports the discovery of a new chromium-based compound, CsCrTe, which features unique interwoven reconstructed Archimedean and kagome lattices and exhibits a bulk electronic or magnetic phase transition near 130 K.
This study reveals that thickness-dependent, angle-anisotropic hysteretic magnetoresistance in MnBi2Te4 nanoflakes arises from domain wall pinning and de-pinning within a spatially non-uniform magnetic landscape, highlighting reduced dimensionality as a key driver of magnetic irreversibility.
