Tungsten is the main candidate material for plasma-facing armour components in future fusion reactors. In-service, fusion neutron irradiation creates lattice defects through collision cascades. Helium, injected from plasma, aggravates…
Along with high strength, plasticity is what makes metals so widely usable in our material world. Both strength and plasticity properties of a metal are defined by the motion of dislocations - line defects in the crystal lattice that divide…
Electron ptychography provides highly sensitive, dose efficient phase images which can be corrected for aberrations after the data has been acquired. This is crucial when very precise quantification is required, such as with sensitivity to…
Metal meshes have emerged as an important class of flexible transparent electrodes. We report on the characteristics of a new class of asymmetric meshes, tiled using a recently-discovered family of pentagons. Micron-scale meshes were…
The hadronic decays of Y(9.46GeV) were first studied by PLUTO experiment at DORIS e+e- storage ring (DESY). To determine the contribution of PLUTO to the discovery of the gluon, as members of the collaboration, we have reconsidered all the…
The physics potential of an intense source of low-energy muons is studied. Such a source is a necessary stage towards building the neutrino factories and muon colliders which are being considered at present. The CERN Neutrino Factory could…
The accurate description of the structural and thermodynamic properties of ferroelectrics has been one of the most remarkable achievements of Density Functional Theory (DFT). However, running large simulation cells with DFT is…
A brief overview on high-pressure synthesis of superhard and ultrahard materials is presented in this tutorial paper. Modern high-pressure chemistry represents a vast exciting area of research which can lead to new industrially important…
Identifying the atomic structure and properties of solid hydrogen under high pressures is a long-standing problem of high-pressure physics with far-reaching significance in planetary and materials science. Determining the…
A muonium hydride molecule is a bound state of muonium and hydrogen atoms. It has half the mass of a parahydrogen molecule and very similar electronic properties in its ground state. The phase diagram of an assembly of such particles is…
In order to study the performance of interatomic potentials and their reliability at higher pressures, the phase diagram of four different embedded-atom type potential models of iron is compared. The calculations were done by the nested…
Light alkali metals have usually been considered as simple metals due to their monovalency and high conductivity. In these metals ionic pseudopotentials are weak and the nearly free electron model (NFE) becomes quite accurate at normal…
The frontier of low-temperature physics has advanced to the mid pico-Kelvin (pK) regime but progress has come to a halt because of the problem of gravity. Ultra cold atoms must be confined in some type of potential energy well: if the depth…
Various new phenomena emerge in quantum materials under elastic deformations, such as hydrostatic or uniaxial stresses. In particular, using uniaxial strain or stress can help to tune or uncover specific structural or electronic orders in…
We report on further investigation of nuclear hyperpolarization of helium-3 in magnetized plasma at a magnetic field of 3.66 T and at different experimental conditions in a dual cell of relatively large volume, compared to those reported in…
By combining the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), we report a systematic analysis of the spectral properties of $\delta$-plutonium with varying $5f$ occupancy. The LDA Hamiltonian is extracted from…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted extensive interest due to their exceptional mechanical properties and the vast compositional space for new HEAs. However, understanding their novel physical mechanisms and then using these…
We have designed and developed a new experimental setup, based on the 3-omega method, to measure thermal conductivity, heat capacity and electrical resistivity of a variety of samples in a broad temperature range (2-550 K) and under…
We propose and analyze experiments to test distinguishability and determinism in atoms. As a first step, we consider experiments to test if atoms are distinguishable from each other due to small differences in the nuclear magnetic moment.…
Electrocatalytic processes occurring at the heterogeneous interface are complex and their understanding at the molecular level remains challenging. Atomic force microscope (AFM) can detect force interactions down to the atomic level, but so…
