However, the effects of spin-orbit coupling on these materials have not yet been fully explored. Here, we show that single- and double-bilayer antimony honeycomb lattices, referred to as antimonene, form moiré superlattices on a Bi(111) substrate due to lattice mismatch. Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) measurements reveal the presence of spectral peaks near the Fermi level, which are spatially modulated with the moiré period. Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) combined with density functional theory calculations clarify the surface band structure with saddle points near the Fermi level, which allows us to attribute the observed STM spectral peaks to the van Hove singularity. Moreover, spin-resolved ARPES measurements reveal that the observed surface states are Rashba-type spin-polarized. The present work has significant implications in that Fermi surface instability and symmetry breaking may emerge at low temperatures, where the spin degree of freedom and electron correlation also play important roles. Moiré superlattices are of great fundamental interest as they can host emergent phenomena such as flat band-induced Mott insulating states and unconventional superconductivity. Here, 2D antimony honeycomb lattices on a Bi(111) substrate are shown to form moiré superlattices with Rashba-type spin-polarized states, as revealed by STM and spin-resolved ARPES measurements.","PeriodicalId":10589,"journal":{"name":"Communications Materials","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s43246-024-00615-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142091213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we introduce the 1-(4-Fluorophenyl)−2-pyrrolidone molecule (FPP) as additive in large-area blade-coating perovskite films. During the top-down crystallization process, the FPP molecule form an intermediate phase with the perovskite components and subsequently self-deposit at the bottom surface. Consequently, the crystallization kinetics of the large-area thin films are regulated, and the bottom surface is effectively and uniformly passivated in one single-step processing. By employing this self-deposited passivation method (SDP), the efficiency decrease caused by the expansion of the device area has been significantly suppressed and the devices yield power conversion efficiency of 23.41% (0.09 cm2), 22.43% (1 cm2), and 20.75% (24 cm2). The method is compatible for commercial manufacturing with scaling up solar cell area and holding high efficiency.

Silicon experiences large volume changes upon the Li-insertion and extraction, leading to the amorphization of the silicon-interface due to the permeation of the Li-ions into the silicon. Here, we discover how generated non-hydrostatic strain upon electrochemical cycling further triggers dislocation and eventually shear band formation within the crystalline silicon core. The latter boosts the non-uniform lithiation at the silicon interface affecting the SEI reformation process and ultimately the capacity. Our findings are based on a comprehensive multiscale structural and chemical experimental characterization, complemented by molecular dynamics modelling. This approach highlights the importance of considering electrochemical, microstructural and mechanical mechanisms, offering a strategy for developing improved anode materials with enhanced cycling stability and reduced capacity loss.

Here, we exploit the distinct ultrasharp NIR absorption peaks of lanthanides to engineer a series of NIR photoacoustic nanocrystals. This engineering involves precise host and dopant material composition, yielding nanocrystals with sharply peaked photoacoustic absorption spectra (~3.2 nm width) and a ~10-fold enhancement in NIR optical absorption for efficient deep tissue imaging. By combining photoacoustic tomography with these engineered nanocrystals, we demonstrate photoacoustic multiplexed differential imaging with substantially decreased background signals and enhanced precision and contrast.

The high-entropy approach is thus quite promising, as it offers the possibility of a delicate tuning of chemical disorder. In this work, we investigate the entropy-stabilized pyrochlore compound Tb2(TiZrHfGeSn)2O7. We report the lack of long range magnetic order, yet the observed magnetic diffuse scattering is characteristic of antiferromagnetic first-neighbor correlations. The crystal field excitation spectrum, with broaden levels, visibly reflects the smooth environmental disorder of the Tb environment. The low energy dynamics are characterized by a narrow mode at about 0.4 meV, consistent with specific heat. Remarkably, as illustrated by a model of random isotropic shifts of oxygen atoms around Tb ions, the spectral weight of this mode is a direct consequence of deviations from the D3d symmetry at Tb sites. In the light of these results, quadrupolar interactions are also discussed. Frustrated magnetic systems such as pyrochlores are interesting for the complexity of their competing low-temperature phases.

However, in many nonideal materials, spurious non-Kitaev interactions typically promote a zigzag antiferromagnetic order in the d-orbital transition-metal compounds. Here, by combining neutron scattering with muon-spin rotation and relaxation techniques, we provide mechanism insights into the exotic properties of Na2Co2TeO6, a candidate material of the Kitaev model. Below TN, the zero-field muon-spin relaxation rate becomes almost constant (~0.45 μs−1). We attribute this temperature-independent relaxation rate to the strong quantum fluctuations, as well as to the frustrated Kitaev interactions. As the magnetic field increases, neutron scattering data indicate a broader spin-wave excitation at the K-point. Therefore, quantum fluctuations seem not only robust but are even enhanced by the applied magnetic field. Our findings provide valuable hints for understanding the onset of the quantum-spin-liquid state in Kitaev materials. Na2Co2TeO6 is a candidate Kitaev spin-liquid, but the nature of its ground state remains controversial, as spurious non-Kitaev exchange interactions promote magnetic ordering.

However, the spatiotemporal flow interaction between the molten metal jet and the surrounding arc plasma remains unclear. Here, using in-situ synchrotron X-ray imaging, we simultaneously track surface deformation and internal flow in molten aluminum jets during argon arc discharge. We reveal that modulating the magnitude and path of the arc discharge current can accelerate the jet velocity by 200–300% beyond its initial injection speed, thereby facilitating significant jet elongation. Our results provide consistent evidence that the jet flow dynamics are predominantly governed by the interaction between the arc discharge current and its coaxial self-induced magnetic field. This study establishes a framework at the intersection of fluid dynamics and electromagnetism, contributing to optimized control and precision in wire-arc-based applications. Understanding the dynamics of the breakup of current-carrying molten metal jets during arc discharge is vital in metal deposition processes.
