Efficient hydrogen evolution reaction due to topological polarization
Ming-Chun Jiang, Guang-Yu Guo, Motoaki Hirayama +3
Materials carrying topological surface states (TSS) provide a fascinating platform for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Based on systematic first-principles calculations for…
Interstitial-Electron-Induced Topological Molecular Crystals
Tonghua Yu, Ryotaro Arita, Motoaki Hirayama
Topological phases usually are unreachable in molecular solids, which are characteristic of weakly dispersed energy bands with a large gap, in contrast to topological materials. In…
Anisotropic superconductivity in topological crystalline metal PbTaS with multiple Dirac fermions
Xiaohui Yang, Tonghua Yu, Chenchao Xu +10
Topological crystalline metals/semimetals (TCMs) have stimulated a great research interest, which broaden the classification of topological phases and provide a valuable platform t…
Three-dimensional entanglement on a silicon chip
Liangliang Lu, Lijun Xia, Zhiyu Chen +9
Entanglement is a counterintuitive feature of quantum physics that is at the heart of quantum technology. High-dimensional quantum states offer unique advantages in various quantum…
First-Principles Design of Halide-Reduced Electrides: Magnetism and Topological Phases
Tonghua Yu, Motoaki Hirayama, José A. Flores-Livas +3
We propose a design scheme for potential electrides derived from conventional materials. Starting with rare-earth-based ternary halides, we exclude halogens and perform global stru…
