Single-crystalline \beta-Ag2Se nanostructures, a new class of 3D topological insulators (TIs), were synthesized using the chemical vapor transport method. The topological surface states were verified by measuring electronic transport…

The electric dipole polarizabilities of $^3$H, $^3$He, and $^4$He are calculated directly using the Schr\"odinger equation with the latest generation of two- and three-nucleon interactions. These polarizabilities are necessary in order to…

The gas-phase hydrogen exchange reaction (HER) is the most fundamental chemical process for benchmarking quantum reaction dynamics. In this Letter, we focus on controlling HER by means of strong light-matter coupling inside a resonant…

By performing density functional theory-based calculations, we investigate how hydrogen atom interacts with the surfaces of monolayer PbI2 and how one and two side hydrogenation modify its structural, electronic, and magnetic properties.…

Correlated two-dimensional (2D) layers, like 1T-phases of TaS2, TaSe2 and NbSe2, exhibit rich tunability through varying interlayer couplings, which promotes the understanding of electron-correlation in the 2D limit. However, the coupling…

Thermoelectric energy conversion - the exploitation of the Seebeck effect to convert waste heat into electricity - has attracted an increasing amount of research attention for energy harvesting technology. Niobium-doped strontium titanate…

We study the pairing symmetry and the topological properties of the hydrogen-doped ACr$_3$As$_3$ superconductors. Based on our first-principle band structure with spin-orbit-coupling (SOC), we construct tight binding model including the…

Topological Insulators (TI) exhibit robust spin-locked dissipationless Fermion transport along the surface states. In the current study, we use \textit{first-principles} calculations to investigate a Topological Phase Transition (TPT) in a…

The origin of the very large piezoelectric response observed in the vicinity of the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB) in perovskite lead zirconate titanate and related systems has been under intensive studies. Polarization rotation ideas…

A Hamiltonian H(\Gamma) applicable to cuprate HTS, with a doping dependent pairing interaction \Gamma(x) = V(x) + U(x), is linked to a Cu3d-O2p state probability model(SPM). A consequence of doping induced electron hopping, the SPM mandates…

Predictions and discoveries of new phases of superfluid $^3$He in confined geometries, as well as novel topological excitations confined to surfaces and edges of near a bounding surface of $^3$He, are driving the fields of superfluid $^3$He…

We probe theoretically the emergence of strong coupling in a system consisting of a topological insulator (TI) and a III-V heterostructure using a numerical approach based on the scattering matrix formalism. Specifically, we investigate the…

In this paper we discuss the role of material parameters and external field effects on a thin film topological insulator(TI) in the context of quantum phase transition(QPT). First, we consider an in-plane tilted magnetic field and determine…

We analyze the reaction dynamics of central Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV/nucleon. First we estimate the energy density pile-up at mid-rapidity and calculate its excitation function: The energy density is decomposed into hadronic and partonic…

Clean hydrogen production through efficient and cost-effective electrochemical water splitting is highly promising to meeting future global energy demands. The design of Earth-abundant materials with both high activity for hydrogen…

We found that a surface state induced by hydrogenation on the surface of SrTiO$_{3}$(001) (STO) did not obey the rigid band model, which was confirmed by in situ electrical resistivity measurements in ultrahigh vacuum. With exposure of…

Spin-momentum helical locking is one of the most important properties of the nontrivial topological surface states (TSS) in 3D topological insulators (TI). It underlies the iconic topological protection (suppressing elastic backscattering)…

Fuel cells recombine water from H2 and O2 thereby powering e.g. cars or houses with no direct carbon emission. In anion-exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs), to reach high power densities, operating at high pH is an alternative to using…

Hydrogen fuel is an ideal energy source to replace the traditional fossil fuels because of its high energy density and renewability. Electrochemical water splitting is also regarded as a sustainable, cleaning and eco-friendly method for…

In previous work,1 we showed that hydrogen metallizes in phase III at temperatures below ~200 K and at pressures near ~350 GPa. Here, we perform a detailed study of electrical conductivity R(T) in phase III over a pressure range of 200-400…
