Metal Polluted White Dwarfs with 21 μm IR excesses from JWST/MIRI: Planets or Dust?
White dwarfs with metal pollution are caused by the accretion of rocky dust from tidally disrupted minor bodies and are signposts for planetary systems. These minor bodies are perturbed by planets that have survived post-main sequence evolution. Open questions exist as to the typical mass of the perturbers and the specific planetary architectures that cause metal pollution. JWST's sensitivity in the mid-IR has opened new doors to deciphering polluted white dwarfs. We present JWST Cycle 1 MIRI i…

Electrical contacts are formed by metal alloying and doping is achieved using ion implantation. The metastable hex-SiGe phase is successfully recovered after implantation by solid phase recrystallization. Independent of the metal used, contacts on n-type resulted in Schottky barriers due to Fermi level pinning of hex-SiGe. Overall, this constitutes a first step towards use of hex-S…

Absence of reflectivity of the phonon-polariton at the SiC surface from the metal mask edge
Surface phonon polariton (SPhP) waves are excited at the silicon carbide ($SiC$) surface under irradiation of light close to the lattice resonance frequency. Metal mask at the surface blocks irradiation of certain areas and thus allows tuning standing or propagating wave pattern and, thus, open opportunities for surface polariton optic devices. In this study we show by means of scanning near-field microscopy that the edge of such a mask reflects SPhP waves negligibly. This condition differs dra…

We here provide theoretical and experimental evidences for the existence of a driving force that opposes water alignment to the surface field. Such driving force origina…

We propose helically twisted homotrilayer transition metal dichalcogenides as a platform for realizing correlated topological phases of matter with higher and tunable Chern numbers.

We identify regimes of twist angle and displacement field for which the highest-lying hole band is isolated from other bands and is topol…

Discovery of SiC and Iron Dust Around AGB Stars in the very Metal-Poor Sextans A Dwarf Galaxy with JWST: Implications for Dust Production at High Redshift
Low-resolution infrared spectroscopy from JWST confirms the presence of SiC and likely metallic iron dust around asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars in the Sextans A dwarf galaxy, which has a metallicity ~1%-7% Z_sun. While metal-poor carbon-rich AGB stars are known to produce copious amounts of amorphous carbon dust owing to the dredge up of newly synthesized carbon, this is the first time that Si- and Fe-bearing dust has been detected at this extreme metallicity. Of the six AGB stars observed…

The electronic structures, magnetic transition and Fermi surface instability of room-temperature altermagnet KV$_{2}$Se$_{2}$O
Altermagnetism has recently emerged as a distinct and fundamental class of magnetic order. Exploring its interplay with quantum phenomena such as unconventional superconductivity, density-wave instabilities, and many-body effects represents a compelling frontier. In this work, we theoretically confirm the presence of high-temperature metallic altermagnetism in KV$_2$Se$_2$O. We demonstrate that the anomalous metal-insulator-metal transition arises from a Lifshitz transition associated with Ferm…

Broadband Emission via a Photon Avalanche in a Lanthanide-Trimesic Acid Metal-Organic Framework
Infrared-triggered photon upconversion in porous materials presents intriguing prospects for combined functionalities such as molecular sponge, energy harvesting and conversion functionalities. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are one of the most versatile classes of porous crystals. So far only two-photon upconverting processes have been realized in MOFs both by ligand based triplet-triplet annihilation and directly in lanthanide ions. Here we report on Yb3+/Er3+-trimesate-based MOFs that exhib…

Low-metallicity massive single stars with rotation. III. Source of ionization and C-IV emission in I Zw 18
Chemically-homogeneously evolving stars have been proposed to account for several exotic phenomena, including gravitational-wave emissions and gamma-ray bursts. Here we study whether these stars can explain the metal-poor dwarf galaxy, I Zwicky 18. We apply our synthetic spectral models from Paper II to (i) establish a classification sequence for these hot stars, (ii) predict the photonionizing flux and the strength of emission lines from a IZw18-like stellar population, and (iii) compare our p…

A High Geometric Albedo for LTT9779b Points Towards a Metal-rich Atmosphere and Silicate Clouds
Aims: In this work, we aim to confirm the high albedo of the benchmark ultrahot Neptune LTT9779b using 20 secondary eclipse measurements of the planet observed with CHEOPS. In addition, we perform a search for variability in the reflected light intensity of the planet as a function of time. Methods: First, we used the TESS follow-up data of LTT9779b from three sectors (2, 29, and 69) to remodel the transit signature and estimate an updated set of transit and ephemeris parameters, which were dir…

Reevaluating the electrical impact of atomic carbon impurities in MoS2
Transition metal dichalcogenides, a family of two-dimensional compounds, are of interest for a range of technological applications. MoS2, the most researched member of this family, is hexagonal, from which monolayers may be isolated. Under ambient conditions and during growth/processing, contamination by impurities can occur, of which carbon is significant due to its presence in the common growth techniques. We have performed extensive computational investigations of carbon point defects, exami…

Multi-Technique Characterization of Rhodium Gem-Dicarbonyls on TiO$_2$(110)
Gem-dicarbonyls of transition metals supported on metal (oxide) surfaces are common intermediates in heterogeneous catalysis. While infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a standard tool for detecting these species on applied catalysts, the ill-defined crystallographic environment of species observed on powder catalysts renders data interpretation challenging. In this work, we apply a multi-technique surface science approach to investigate rhodium gem-dicarbonyls on a single-crystalline rutile TiO$_2$(1…

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 …

Stoichiometric and Non-stoichiometric Cesium Potassium Antimonide Photocathodes: Ab-initio Insights into its Properties for Photoemission
Alkali-metal antimonides, especially cesium-potassium-antimonide (CsK2Sb), are strong candidates for next-generation photocathodes in linear accelerators due to their low work-function, fast response, high quantum yield, and ability to operate under visible light. In this study, first-principles methods are used to examine the structural, electronic, optical, and surface properties of CsK2Sb relevant to its photoemission performance. Our results for CsK2Sb show strong absorption in the visible …

Comparative analysis of plasmon modes in layered Lindhard metals and strange metals
The enigmatic strange metal remains one of the central unsolved problems of 21st century science. Understanding this phase of matter requires knowledge of the momentum- and energy-resolved dynamic charge susceptibility, $χ(q,ω)$, especially at finite momentum. Inelastic electron scattering (EELS), performed in either transmission (T-EELS) or reflection (R-EELS) geometries, is a powerful probe of $χ(q,ω)$. For the prototypical strange metal Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+x}$, T-EELS, R-EELS, and …

Mott Criticality as the Confinement Transition of a Pseudogap-Mott Metal
The phenomenon of Mott insulation involves the localization of itinerant electrons due to strong local repulsion. Upon doping, a pseudogap (PG) phase emerges - marked by selective gapping of the Fermi surface without conventional symmetry breaking in spin or charge channels. A key challenge is understanding how quasiparticle breakdown in the Fermi liquid gives rise to this enigmatic state, and how it connects to both the Mott insulating and superconducting phases. Here, we develop a renormaliza…

Unconventional charge density wave in Kagome metal BaFe2Al9
The charge density wave (CDW) is a macroscopic quantum state characterized by long-range lattice distortion and modulated charge density. Conventionally, CDWs compete with other electronic orders (e.g. superconductivity) and are suppressed under hydrostatic pressure. Intriguingly, the Kagome-variant metal BaFe2Al9, crystallized in a three-dimensional structure, exhibits pressure-enhanced CDW ordering, where the transition temperature (TCDW) rises from ~110 K to room temperature near 3.6 GPa.

Outflows from Star-Forming Galaxies in the Early Universe: Evolution from Double- to Single-Peaked Lyman-$ α$ Profiles Following Delayed Supernova Feedback
Lyman-$ α$ emission, which owing to its resonant nature strongly couples the emergent line profile to gas kinematics, has become a key observable for probing outflows from star-forming galaxies in the early universe. Typically, Lyman-$ α$ profiles are explained in terms of idealised expanding shell models, while empirically-motivated interpretations of Lyman-$ α$ profiles that make use of comparisons with kinematics revealed by other spectral features (e.g. metal emission and absorption line…

A Coordination-Based Model for the Prediction of Surface Energies and the Shape of Metal Particles
Surface energies of metal-based systems are important for determining the Wulff-constructed shapes of metal nanoparticles and understanding the stability. We have developed a coordination number-based model to predict the total energy of metal-based systems across a wide range of configurations. Our model has been tested against Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations for late transition metals. This method enables on-the-fly surface energy predictions and allows for the Wulff construction…

Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are attractive nanomaterials for quantum information applications due to single photon emission (SPE) from atomic defects, primarily tungsten diselenide (WSe2) monolayers. Defect and strain engineering techniques have been developed to yield high purity, deterministically positioned SPE in WSe2. However, a major challenge in application of these techniques is the low temperature required to observe defect-bound TMD exciton emission, t…
