The discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ at pressures above 14 GPa has spurred extensive research efforts. Yet, fundamental aspects of the superconducting phase, including the possibility of a filamentary…
The formation of ordered phases of dimethyl-disulfide on the Au(111) surface has been investigated by means of Low-Energy Electron Diffraction (LEED), X-ray Photoemission Spectroscopy (XPS), and state-of-the-art Density Functional Theory…
Sodium, magnesium and aluminum adatoms, which, respectively, possess one, two and three valence electrons in terms of 3s, $3s^2$, and ($3s^2$, 3p) orbitals, are very suitable for helping us understand the adsorption-induced diverse…
The precise crystal structure of La3Ni2O7 in its high-pressure superconducting state has been a subject of intense debate, with proposed models including both orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetries. Using high-pressure Raman spectroscopy…
Predicting phase stabilities of crystal polymorphs is central to computational materials science and chemistry. Such predictions are challenging because they first require searching for potential energy minima and then performing arduous…
Liquids and solids are two fundamental states of matter. However, due to the lack of direct experimental determination, our understanding of the 3D atomic structure of liquids and amorphous solids remained speculative. Here we advance…
We perform density functional theory calculation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of various two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, MX$_2$ (M$=$Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, or W, and X$=$S or Se), and…
We report Molecular Dynamics simulations for a new model of tetrahedral network glass-former, based on short-range, spherical potentials. Despite the simplicity of the forcefield employed, our model reproduces some essential physical…
The descloizite-type compound, SrMn(VO4)(OH), was synthesized as large single crystals using a high-temperature high-pressure hydrothermal technique. X-ray single crystal structure analysis reveals that the material crystallizes in the…
We resolve issues that have plagued reliable prediction of relative phase stability for solid-solutions and compounds. Due to its commercially important phase diagram, we showcase Al-Li system because historically density-functional theory…
In this paper we investigated structural, electronic and magnetic properties of 3d (light) transition metal (TM) atomic chains using first-principles pseudopotential plane wave calculations. Periodic linear, dimerized linear and planar…
Metal superhydrides, known for their high hydrogen content and polyhedral hydrogen cages, are promising candidates for high-temperature superconductivity. Recent research has emphasized "chemical pre-compression," enabling hydrogen…
In order to control the dimensionality and the topology of the arrangement of magnetic Ru ions, NaCl-type lithium ruthenates have been investigated. Three types of lithium ruthenates, Li$_{3}$RuO$_{4}$, Li$_{2}$RuO$_{3}$, and…
One-dimensional kagome strip chains share much of the same frustrated structural motif as two-dimensional kagome antiferromagnets, making them valuable for deepening our understanding of kagome lattice magnetism. In this paper, we report…
A series of MnO2 unique nanostructures were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method with microwave-assisted procedures. A novel nanostructure formation mechanism has been proposed, that MnO6 octahedral nuclei and molecular layers can be…
The electronic structure in the new transition metal carbide Ti4SiC3 has been investigated by bulk-sensitive soft x-ray emission spectroscopy and compared to the well-studied Ti3SiC2 and TiC systems. The measured high-resolution Ti L, C K…
We carried out fully-atomistic reactive molecular dynamics simulations to study the elastic properties and fracture patterns of transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) MoX2 (X=S, Se, Te) membranes, in their 2H and 1T phases, within the…
Two-dimensional materials have attracted considerable attention due to their remarkable electronic, mechanical and optical properties, making them prime candidates for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic applications. Despite…
The formation of precipitated zirconium (Zr) hydrides is closely related to the hydrogen embrittlement problem for the cladding materials of pressured water reactors (PWR). In this work, we systematically investigated the crystal structures…
