Improved figure of merit (z) at low temperatures for superior thermoelectric cooling in Mg3(Bi,Sb)2
Nature Communications, 2023 The low-temperature thermoelectric performance of Bi-rich n-type Mg3(Bi,Sb)2 was limited by the electron transport scattering at grain boundaries, while removing grain boundaries and bulk crystal growth of Mg-based Zintl phases are challenging due to the

Efficiently accelerated free electrons by metallic laser accelerator
Nature Communications, 2023 Strong electron-photon interactions occurring in a dielectric laser accelerator provide the potential for development of a compact electron accelerator. Theoretically, metallic materials exhibiting notable surface plasmon-field enhancements can possibly ...

Giant magnetoelectric effects achieved by tuning spin cone symmetry in Y-type hexaferrites
Nature Communications, 2017 Control of the electrical properties of materials by means of magnetic fields or vice versa may facilitate next-generation spintronic devices, but is still limited by their intrinsically weak magnetoelectric effect. Here, the authors report the existence

Quantum geometry in condensed matter [PDF]
National Science ReviewOne of the most celebrated accomplishments of modern physics is the description of fundamental principles of nature in the language of geometry. As the motion of celestial bodies is governed by the geometry of spacetime, the motion of electrons in ...

Accurate Semilocal Density Functional for Condensed-Matter Physics and Quantum Chemistry. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2016 Most density functionals have been developed by imposing the known exact constraints on the exchange-correlation energy, or by a fit to a set of properties of selected systems, or by both.

Kinetic Limits of Graphite Anode for Fast-Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries
Nano-Micro Letters, 2023 Highlights The microstructure of graphite upon rapid Li+ intercalation is a mixture of differently staging structures in the macroscopic and microscopic scales due to the incomplete and inhomogeneous intercalation reactions hindered by the sluggish ...

Nematic Fermi Fluids in Condensed Matter Physics [PDF]
, 2010 Correlated electron fluids can exhibit a startling array of complex phases, among which one of the more surprising is the electron nematic, a translationally invariant metallic phase with a spontaneously generated spatial anisotropy.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Herein, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is discussed as a powerful extension of conventional SEM for life sciences. By combining high‐resolution imaging with variable pressure and humidity, ESEM allows the analysis of untreated biological materials, supports in situ monitoring of hydration‐driven changes, and advances the functional ...
