Researchers decrypted the formation of passivation layers for the promising bis-(fluorosulfonyl)-imide (FSI-) based ionic liquid electrolyte on carbon electrodes at high cell voltages.
Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) methods are used to find the structure and electronic band gap of 2D GeSe, determining that the gap and its nature are highly tunable by strain.
Strain developed during the coalescence of growing 2D crystals was shown to induce the nucleation of twisted bilayers with predictable twist angles. This work provides a pathway to synthetically control stacking angles in 2D heterostructures for
Neutron scattering and atomic dynamics simulations reveal that complex crystals can conduct heat like a glass through diffusive quantum hopping. The revealed strategies will enable the down-tuning
Through computer simulations of a microscopic model for a skyrmion crystal, theoreticians discovered an unexpectedly complex spin dynamics stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Understanding spin dynamics is of fundamental importance to
Neutron scattering experiments on a honeycomb lattice magnet revealed a unique signature of quantum magnetism. These results showed how inelastic neutron scattering can be used to detect and decode quantum magnetism and distinguish truly quantum
Researchers demonstrated that superlattices of alternating TiO2 and VO2 layers dramatically expand the tunability range of the metal–insulator transition (MIT) in the strongly correlated VO2.1 The demonstration of a wide tunability range for the e
