Motivated by the recent claim of hot superconductivity with critical temperatures up to 550 K in La + x hydrides (arXiv:2006.03004), we investigate the high-pressure phase diagram of possible compounds that may have formed in the…
We strongly disagree with a number of statements by Dolin{\v{s}}ek et al. about phason dynamics in quasicrystals (QCs).
One promising approach for future neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) searches is the incorporation of candidate isotopes into liquid scintillator detectors. In this work, a sample of the high-performance…
In this article we present the application of a \textit{ab initio} methodology to design new hard materials with crystal behavior. In special, we applied this methodology in the search of new materials of the $TiN_x$ family. This search…
Following a well-established practice of publishing commentaries to articles of other authors who work on materials that were earlier studied by them (n.b. six published comments[1-6]), Marek Szafra\'nski(MS) and Andrzej Katrusiak (AK) have…
A wide-range doping was achieved by a high-pressure method for TbFeAsO1-x from "under doped" to "over doped" superconducting compositions throughout the optimized superconductivity (Tc of 44 K). Tc vs. lattice constant shows a dome-shaped…
A thorough consideration of the relation between the lattice parameters of 185 binary and ternary spinel compounds, on one side, and ionic radii and electronegativities of the constituting ions, on the other side, allowed for establishing a…
In this communication we refute a criticism concerning results of our work [3] that was presented in references [1] and [2].
The family of MAX phases and their derivative MXenes are continuously growing in terms of both crystalline and composition varieties. In the last couple of years, several breakthroughs have been achieved that boosted the synthesis of novel…
The computational and experimental exploration of the phase diagrams of binary hydrides under high pressure has uncovered phases with novel stoichiometries and structures, some which are superconducting at quite high temperatures. Herein we…
All-solid-state lithium batteries promise significant improvements in energy density and safety over traditional liquid electrolyte batteries. The Al-doped AlxLi7-3xLa3Zr2O12 (LLZO) solid-state electrolyte shows excellent potential given…
The work is necessitated by search for new materials to detect ionizing radiation. The rare-earth ions doped with ternary alkali earth-halide systems are promising scintillators showing high efficiency and energy resolution. Some aspects of…
We comment on a recent paper [D. Schultz et al, Phys. REv. Lett. 90, 015501 (2003)]. We argue that a highly systematical investigation is needed to determine the most stable structures of both pristine and N-substituted fullerenes.
We report the synthesis and crystal structure of an organic inorganic compound, ethylenediammonium lead iodide, NH3CH2CH2NH3PbI4. Synchrotron based single crystal X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that the pristine and thermally…
The light variations of first-overtone RR Lyrae stars and contact eclipsing binaries can be difficult to distinguish. The Catalina Periodic Variable Star catalog contains several misclassified objects, despite the classification efforts by…
Low dimensional materials are critical for enabling next generation applications that are central to addressing critical global challenges. Titanium dioxide nanostructures stand out due to their structural versatility and relevance to…
In a recent paper by Porsev et al. [arXiv:1201.5615v1], the authors have claimed to have resolved the controversy arising from the different ab initio results available for the EDM enhancement factor of Tl. In our opinion, any such attempt…
Recent studies on confined crystals of charged colloidal particles are reviewed, both in equilibrium and out of equilibrium. We focus in particular on direct comparisons of experiments (light scattering and microscopy) with lattice sum…
