Sub-angstrom many-body localization driven by phononic flat bands in real quantum materials
Yingpeng Qi, Jianmin Yang, Zhihui Zhou +10
Defects, fluctuations, degenerate states and correlated interactions facilitate the emergence of exotic properties in condensed matter systems while also inducing atomic-scale loca…
Dimer rattling mode induced low thermal conductivity in an excellent acoustic conductor
Ji Qi, Baojuan Dong, Zhe Zhang +19
A solid with larger sound speeds exhibits higher lattice thermal conductivity (k_{lat}). Diamond is a prominent instance where its mean sound speed is 14400 m s-1 and k_{lat} is 23…
Nanosized Monoatomic Palladium Metallic Glass
Dong Sheng He, Yi Huang, Benjamin D. Myers +9
Physically vitrifying single-element metallic glass requires ultrahigh cooling rates, which are still unachievable for most of the closest-packed metals. Here, we report a facile s…
Observation of a Room Temperature Two-dimensional Ferroelectric Metal
Mao Ye, Songbai Hu, Shanming Ke +11
Materials with reduced dimensions have been shown to host a wide variety of exotic properties and novel quantum states that often defy textbook wisdom1-5. Ferroelectric polarizatio…
Evidence for Weyl fermions in the elemental semiconductor tellurium
Nan Zhang, Gan Zhao, Lin Li +9
The recent discovery of Weyl fermions in solids enables exploitation of relativistic physics and development of a spectrum of intriguing physical phenomena. They are constituted of…
Understanding Phonon Scattering by Nano-Precipitates in Potassium-Doped Lead Chalcogenides
Zhao Wang, Xiaolong Yang, Dan Feng +8
We present a comprehensive experimental and theoretical study of phonon scattering by nanoprecipitates in potassium-doped PbTe, PbSe and PbS. We highlight the role of the precipita…
