Chasing the formation history of the Galactic metal-poor disc
In our previous work, we identified $\sim100,000$ metal-poor stars ([Fe/H] $<$ -1.0) from the LAMOST Survey. This work estimates their chemical abundances and explores the origin and evolution of the Galactic metal-poor disc. Our chemo-dynamical analysis reveals four main populations within the metal-poor disc: (1) a primordial disc older than 12 Gyr with [Fe/H] $>$ -1.5; (2) debris stars from the progenitor galaxy of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus (GSE), but now residing in the Galactic disc; (3) the …

Single layer clathrane: A potential superconducting two-dimensional (2D) hydrogenated metal borocarbide
We propose a new family of two-dimensional (2D) metal-borocarbide clathrane superconductors, derived from three-dimensional (3D) MM$^\prime$B$_6$C$_6$ clathrates. First-principles calculations reveal that hydrogen passivation and surface metal decoration stabilize the M$_2$M$^\prime$B$_8$C$_8$H$_8$ monolayers. These 2D systems exhibit tunable superconductivity governed by hole concentration, structural anisotropy, and electron-phonon coupling. We find that in-plane anisotropy competes with supe…

Amorphous metal oxide mixtures for high-Q integrated nonlinear photonics
Choice of material is ubiquitous in integrated photonics to design device properties, whereas changing material composition is much less common. With phase matching as an additional objective, constraints in depositing and patterning thin films limit the use of integrated nonlinear photonics to only select materials. Here, we explore an amorphous metal oxide mixture of titania (TiO2) and tantala (Ta2O5) in which material composition is a tool to enhance and customize photonics properties. In pa…

One thing I think the news reports are missing about the guy killed by an MRI machine while wearing a 9kg metal chain, is that you *can't* flip a switch and quickly turn off the magnetism, even in emergency situations. Shutting down is a slow involved process, and many MRI magnets are always active for their working life.

Barium isotopic ratios in metal-poor stars: calibrating the method with globular clusters
Identifying the nucleosynthesis processes behind heavy-element enrichment in stellar atmospheres is challenging.

One promising but still underexplored approach is to measure the isotopic composition of stellar atmospheres by focusing on elements that have both slow (s)-process and rapid…

Jahn-Teller-like Distortion in a One-dimensional π-Conjugated Polymer
Structurally distorting low-dimensional π-conjugated systems can profoundly influence their electronic properties, but controlling such behavior in extended-width systems remains challenging. Here we demonstrate that a one-dimensional conjugated polymer, poly-(difluorenoheptalene-ethynylene) (PDFHE), undergoes a pronounced out-of-plane backbone distortion, equivalent to a spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) of its mirror symmetry. We synthesized PDFHE on noble metal surfaces and characterized …

Lattice-charge coupling in a trilayer nickelate with intertwined density wave order
Intertwined charge and spin correlations are ubiquitous in a wide range of transition metal oxides and are often perceived as intimately related to unconventional superconductivity. Theoretically envisioned as driven by strong electronic correlations, the intertwined order is usually found to be strongly coupled to the lattice as signaled by pronounced phonon softening. Recently, both charge/spin density waves (CDW/SDW) and superconductivity have been discovered in several Ruddlesden-Popper (RP…

Octahedral tilting and B-site off-centering in halide perovskites are not coupled
Metal halide perovskites show exceptional potential for solar energy, thermoelectrics, catalysis, and other photochemical technologies, with performance rooted in electronic structure-driven properties. In ABX3 halide perovskites, localized and often aspherical local electron densities from B-site lone pairs or polarizable X- anions can distort the lattice. However, the links among electronic structure fluctuations and distortions like tilting of the BX6 octahedra and off-centering of the B-sit…

High-$T_{\rm c}$ Ag$_x$BC and Cu$_x$BC superconductors accessible via topochemical reactions
Hole-doping of covalent materials has long served as a blueprint for designing conventional high-$T_{\rm c}$ superconductors, but thermodynamic constraints severely limit the space of realizable compounds. Our {\it ab initio} results indicate that metastable Ag$_x$BC and Cu$_x$BC phases can be accessed via standard topochemical ion exchange reactions starting from Li$_x$BC precursors. Unlike all known stoichiometric layered metal borocarbides, the predicted AgBC and CuBC derivatives, comprising…

Intrinsic characteristic radius drives phonon anomalies in Janus transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubes
Transition metal dichalcogenides and their derivatives offer a versatile platform for exploring novel structural and functional properties in low-dimensional materials. In particular, Janus monolayers possess an intrinsic out-of-plane asymmetry that induces a built-in bending radius, which can strongly influence their physical behavior. In this work, we investigate the tubular structures formed by rolling Janus monolayers into the Janus nanotube with an extrinsic radius. Using a combination of …

Estimating Initial Mass of Gaia-Enceladus Dwarf Galaxy with Chemical Evolution Model
This work investigates the initial mass and chemical evolution history of the Gaia-Enceladus dwarf galaxy. We combine spectroscopic data from APOGEE with astrometric data from Gaia DR3 to identify Gaia-Enceladus candidate stars via a machine-learning pipeline using t-SNE and HDBSCAN. By focusing on kinematic and chemical parameters, especially $\mathrm{[Fe/H]}$, $\mathrm{[Mg/Fe]}$, $\mathrm{[Al/Fe]}$, and $\mathrm{[Mn/Fe]}$, we uncover a population of metal-poor, high-eccentricity stars that al…

Magnetic Phase Diagrams of Antiferromagnet DyB12 with Jahn-Teller Lattice Instability and Electron Phase Separation
The origin of charge transport and magnetization anisotropy was studied in DyB12, an antiferromagnetic (AF) metal with Neel temperature TN = 16.3 K that exhibits both cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions of the fcc crystal structure and nanoscale electronic instabilities (dynamic charge stripes). Based on the results obtained the magnetic field (H) vs temperature (T) phase diagrams have been constructed. Moreover, from angle dependent magnetoresistance and magnetization measurements the butterfl…

Enhanced Phonon-Assisted Tunneling in Metal -- Twisted Bilayer Graphene Junctions
We report planar tunneling spectroscopy measurements on metal-WSe$_2$-twisted bilayer graphene heterostructures across a broad range of gate and bias voltages. The observed experimental features are attributed to phonon-assisted tunneling and the significantly high density of states within the moiré bands. A notable finding is the enhanced phonon-assisted tunneling in twisted bilayer graphene compared to Bernal bilayer graphene, which arises from a more relaxed in-plane momentum matching crite…

A rutile-based homologous series Na(PtO$_2$)$_{2\it{n}+1}$ discovered by computationally assisted high-pressure synthesis
Layered transition metal oxides typified by the Ruddlesden-Popper phase have been extensively studied for its applications in high-temperature superconductivity, catalysis, and battery technologies. Despite the remarkable structural diversity and catalytic functionality of platinum oxides, the exploration of layered polymorphs has remained significantly constrained mainly due to the high inertness of platinum. Here, we discover a new homologous series of layered ternary oxides, Na(PtO$_2$)$_{2\…

Probing the band structure of the strongly correlated antiferromagnet NiPS3 across its phase transition
NiPS3 is an exfoliable van-der-Waals intralayer antiferromagnet with zigzag-type spin arrangement. It is distinct from other TMPS3 (TM: transition metal) materials by optical excitations into a strongly correlated state that is tied to the magnetic properties. However, the related, fundamental band structure across the antiferromagnetic phase transition has not been probed yet. Here, we use angular-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with μm resolution in combination with DFT+U calculations fo…

Aeos is Mixing it Up: The (In)homogeneity of Metal Mixing Following Population III Star Formation
Stellar surface abundances are records of the state of the gas from which stars formed, and thus trace how individual elements have mixed into the surrounding medium following their ejection from stars. In this work, we test the common assumption of instantaneous and homogeneous metal mixing during the formation of the first Population II stars by characterizing the chemical homogeneity of the gas in simulated star-forming environments enriched by Population III stellar feedback. Testing the ho…

Observation of Altermagnetic Spin Splitting in an Intercalated Transition Metal Dichalcogenide
Altermagnetism is a novel magnetic phase combining characteristics of both antiferromagnetism and ferromagnetic ordering. Despite growing theoretical interest in altermagnetic materials, reports of experimentally verified high Neel temperature layered compounds are limited or remain to be firmly established. Here, we present an angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and density functional theory (DFT) study of Co1/4TaSe2, a compound we identify as a layered altermagnetic material. Ma…

Spin-reorientation Driven Temperature Dependent Intrinsic Anomalous Hall Conductivity in Fe$_3$Ge, a Ferromagnetic Topological Metal
We investigate the temperature dependence of the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity in Fe$_3$Ge, which is a ferromagnetic topological metal. We observe a significant anisotropy in the anomalous Hall conductivity between in-plane and out-of-plane directions. We further identify that the total Hall conductivity is contributed extrinsically due to the skew-scattering mechanism and intrinsically due to nonzero Berry curvature in the momentum space. Most importantly, we demonstrate the temperatur…

Control of magnetic transition, metal-semiconductor transition, and magnetic anisotropy in noncentrosymmetric monolayer Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Se$_3$Te$_3$
Recent advances in two-dimensional materials have greatly expanded the family of ferromagnetic materials. The well-known 2D ferromagnets, such as CrI$_3$, Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Te$_6$, and Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ monolayers, are characterized by centrosymmetric crystal structures. In contrast, ferromagnetic ordering in 2D noncentrosymmetric materials remains an underexplored area. Here we report a Janus ferromagnet, Cr$_2$Ge$_2$Se$_3$Te$_3$ with inversion symmetry breaking, through first-principles calculations. …

Electron Ptychography Images Hydrogen Atom Superlattices and 3D Inhomogeneities in Palladium Hydride Nanoparticles
When hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites in metal lattices, they form metal hydrides (MHx), whose structural and electronic properties can differ significantly from the host metals. Owing to the small size of hydrogen atom and its unique interactions with the host metal, MHx is of broad interest in both fundamental science and technological applications. Determining where the hydrogen is located within the MHx, and whether it orders on the partially occupied interstitial sites is crucial f…

In particular, DNA nanostructures provide versatile scaffolds for directly templating the growth of metal structures. Previously, a DNA mold-based method for metal nanostructure synthesis has been established that supports a modular structure design and a high control over the structure formation. So far, th…

Single domain spectroscopic signatures of a magnetic Kagome metal
Spin- and orbital-resolved access to the electronic bands is necessary to establish key properties of quantum materials such as the quantum-geometric tensor. Despite recent revival on magnetic Kagome compounds, no spectroscopic access to their magnetic properties has been available so far due to small domain sizes and lack of appropriate techniques. Furthermore, their real space magnetic texture is often complex and temperature-dependent. We investigate the magnetic Kagome metal DyMn$_6$Sn$_6$ …
