Quantum geometry and critical temperature enhancement in MgB superconductivity
Yi Jiang, Haoyu Hu, Dumitru Călugăru +13
MgB, a phonon-mediated superconductor with record-high critical temperature K, is revisited to obtain a comprehensive theory of electrons, phonons, and their cou…
Chiral, Electronically Decoupled Layers of 1T'-WS2 Topological Insulator via Neutral-Molecule Intercalation
Jiaze Xie, Fatmagül Katmer, Fang Yuan +9
Monolayer 1T'-WS2 is predicted to be a two-dimensional topological insulator, but its intrinsic electronic properties are masked by strong interlayer coupling in its metallic and s…
New Superconductors in the PtPbBi Structure Type
Lior Verbitsky, Amira Merino, Scott B. Lee +8
The quest for new superconductors is of both fundamental and technological importance. Recently, an artificial intelligence method correctly predicted PtPbBi to be a supercondu…
Spectroscopic fingerprints of a ferroaxial charge density wave
Jiangchang Zheng, Zhongyi Zhang, Fazhi Yang +11
Unconventional charge density waves (CDWs) with complex order parameters can host exotic collective modes and non-trivial topologies. They have emerged as a new frontier in the stu…
Mechanochemical Nano-Writing of an Atomically Thin Metal
Shuai Zhang, Yanyu Jia, Atanu Samanta +14
Mechanical energy accelerates many physicochemical processes, including materials syntheses that are hard to produce with thermal energy alone. However, physical understanding conn…
Reversible Superdense Ordering of Tetragonal Lithium in a Layered Material
Natalie L. Williams, Stephen D. Funni, Sihun Lee +14
Understanding lithium (Li) ordering and dynamics is foundational in energy storage. X-ray based experimental methods do not simultaneously provide atomic structure information toge…
