Author(s): Wei Feng, Qunqing Hao, Xiangfei Yang, Qiang Zhang, Jian Wu, Qin Liu, Yun Zhang, Shiyong Tan, Qiuyun Chen, and Xinchun Lai Uranium-based compounds display rich and exotic physical properties, but remain less studied compared with $4f\text{−}\mathrm{electron}$ rare-earth compounds. The lack of high quality single crystal samples hinders the use of many specific techniques to study the properties of uranium-based compound… [Phys. Rev...

Author(s): Abril Azócar Guzmán and Rebecca Janisch Hydrogen embrittlement severely impacts structural materials such as iron and its alloys. This study aims to understand hydrogen-enhanced decohesion in ferritic steel grain boundaries (GBs). Density functional theory calculations are carried out to investigate the influence of H on the decohesion of the Σ5(310)[001] and Σ3(112)[1-10] symmetrical tilt GBs in body-centered cubic (bcc) Fe and Fe+X...

Author(s): Wenting Xu, Yang Xue, Ye Zhu, Wei Xu, and Zhongqin Yang Two-dimensional (2D) group-IV materials with tetragonal structures have attracted considerable attention recently due to their structural stability and distinctive electronic and optical characteristics. However, topological quantum states, particularly second-order topological insulators (SOTIs), a… [Phys. Rev. Materials 8, 074001] Published Mon Jul 01, 2024

Author(s): Yiming Wang, Yiqun Xie, Guoli Lin, and Xiang Ye The electrode-semiconductor interface plays an important role in generating and enhancing the photogalvanic effects (PGEs) in semiconducting materials. However, knowledge of the impact of the interface on the PGE for spintronics is currently very limited. Here, we propose the two-dimensional (2D) ph… [Phys. Rev.

Author(s): V. N. Antonov, D. A. Kukusta, and L. V. Bekenov We have investigated the electronic structure of the transition metal oxide ${\mathrm{Ca}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ru}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ within density-functional theory using the generalized gradient approximation while considering strong Coulomb correlations in the framework of the fully relativistic spin… [Phys.

Author(s): Ali Khosravi, Jin Wang, Andrea Silva, Andrea Vanossi, and Erio Tosatti The way metal interfaces evolve during frictional sliding and how that evolution can be externally influenced under external drivers are important questions, which are difficult to investigate experimentally because the contacts themselves are generally difficult to access. Here we focus on an eleme… [Phys. Rev. Materials 8, 076001] Published Mon Jul 01, 2024

Author(s): Nashra Pistawala, Luminita Harnagea, Suman Karmakar, Rajeev Rawat, and Surjeet Singh We report growth of high-quality single crystals of $\mathrm{CeC}{\mathrm{l}}_{3}$ using a modified Bridgman-Stockbarger method in an infrared image furnace. The grown crystals are characterized using single-crystal(powder) x-ray diffraction, Laue x-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, magnetization… [Phys. Rev. Materials 8, 076201] Published Mon...
