Author(s): Saro San, Yi Wang, Jianguo Yu, Michael V. Glazoff, and Michael C. Gao Interfacial energy plays a crucial role for high-temperature material systems in determining their microstructure evolution and mechanical properties. Optimizing the interfacial energy through doping can improve the stability, performance, and overall functionality of these materials. The present st… [Phys. Rev.

Author(s): Henrietta Homm, Jarno Laakso, and Patrick Rinke Lead-based perovskite solar cells have reached high efficiencies, but toxicity and lack of stability hinder their wide-scale adoption. These issues have been partially addressed through compositional engineering of perovskite materials, but the vast complexity of the perovskite materials space poses… [Phys. Rev.

Author(s): Weiyi Xia, Wei-Shen Tee, Paul C. Canfield, Fernando Assis Garcia, Raquel A Ribeiro, Yongbin Lee, Liqin Ke, Rebecca Flint, and Cai-Zhuang Wang The discovery of novel quantum materials within ternary phase spaces containing antagonistic pairs such as Fe with Bi, Pb, In, and Ag, presents significant challenges yet holds great potential. In this work, we investigate the stabilization of these immiscible pairs through the integration of...

Author(s): Fahmida Fakhera, Oliver J. Conquest, Carla Verdi, and Catherine Stampfl Sliding ferroelectricity in two-dimensional materials, characterized by reversible polarization due to the relative sliding of adjacent layers, has uncovered a new era of advancement in data storage and nonvolatile memory devices. A recent experimental study on intralayer sliding of GaSe has illustr… [Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 054402] Published Mon May 12, 2025

Author(s): Donghai Wu, Jiahang Li, Qinzhuang Liu, Dongwei Ma, and Li-Min Liu The local electronic structure of the metal active site often dominates the molecular adsorption on single-atom catalysts (SACs), a key process for understanding the catalytic mechanism. Herein, using constant-potential method, we delve into the role of the substrate's electronic structure in molecu… [Phys. Rev. Materials 9, 055801] Published Mon May 12, 2025

Author(s): Christopher A. Mizzi, W. Adam Phelan, Matthew S. Cook, Greta L. Chappell, Paul H. Tobash, David C. Arellano, Derek V. Prada, Boris Maiorov, and Neil Harrison Intrinsic anharmonicity refers to changes in phonon frequencies with temperature at constant volume. This phenomenon can be significant, but is often not captured in traditional thermodynamic models. The authors introduce the “elastic softening approximation” to model intrinsic...

Author(s): D. A-León, D. A. Landínez Téllez, J. Roa-Rojas, and Rafael González-Hernández The investigation of topological materials has uncovered groundbreaking phases of matter with significant implications for quantum technologies. Here, we explore the antiferromagnetic topological insulator family $\mathrm{V}{({\mathrm{Bi}}_{1−x}{\mathrm{Sb}}_{x})}_{2}{\mathrm{Te}}_{4}$ ($x=0, 0.5$, … [Phys. Rev.
