Li-ion battery degradation processes are multi-scale, heterogeneous, dynamic and involve multiple cell components through cross talk mechanisms. Correlated operando characterization capable of measuring several key parameters are needed to…
We introduce and investigate an effective five-band model for $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ electrons to describe doped cobalt oxides with Co$^{3+}$ and Co$^{4+}$ ions in two-dimensional CoO$_2$ triangular lattice layers, as in Na$_{1-x}$CoO$_2$. The…
In the present study, we explore superconductivity in NdNiO$_2$ and LaNiO$_2$ employing a first-principles derived low-energy model Hamiltonian, consisting of two orbitals: Ni $x^{2}$-$y^{2}$, and an {\it axial} orbital. The {\it axial}…
A deep learning model is employed to address the challenging problem of V2O5 nanoparticle segmentation and the correlation between the chemical composition and the geometrical features of lithiated V2O5 nanoparticles as an exemplar of a…
The recently discovered high-$T_c$ superconductivity in La$_{3}$Ni$_{2}$O$_{7}$ with $T_c \approx 80K$ provides another intriguing platform to explore the microscopic mechanism of unconventional superconductivity. In this work, we study a…
X-ray Compton spectroscopy is one of the few direct probes of the electron momentum distribution of bulk materials in ambient and operando environments. We report high-resolution inelastic X-ray scattering experiments with high momentum and…
In this work, we use three different numerical techniques to study the charge transport properties of a system in the two-level SU(2) (2LSU2) regime, obtained from an SU(4) model Hamiltonian by introducing orbital mixing of the degenerate…
Many key performance characteristics of carbon-based lithium-ion battery anodes are largely determined by the strength of binding between lithium (Li) and sp2 carbon (C), which can vary significantly with subtle changes in substrate…

Layered-oxide $\mathrm{LiNi_xMn_yCo_{1-x-y}O_2}$ (NMC) positive electrodes with high Nickel content, deliver high voltages and energy densities. However, a high nickel content, e.g., $x$ = 0.8 (NMC 811), can lead to high surface reactivity,…
Lithium (Li) plating on graphite is a significant degradation mechanism in Li-ion batteries. While numerous experimental techniques have been used to study Li plating in laboratory cells, investigations of commercial high-energy cells often…
Na-ion batteries (NIBs), which are recognized as a next-generation alternative technology for energy storage, still suffer from commercialization constraints due to the lack of low-cost, high-performance cathode materials. Since our first…
We performed a neutron-scattering experiment to investigate the effect of distortion of CuO2 planes on the low-energy spin correlation of La1.94-xSrxCe0.06CuO4 (LSCCO). Due to the carrier-compensation effect by co-doping of Sr and Ce, LSCCO…
We theoretically study quasi-two-dimensional nickel compounds, where the nickel ions assume Ni$^{2+}$ $d^8$ valence state and feature a low-spin $S=0$ ground state quasidegenerate with $S=1$ ionic excitations. Such a level structure is…
Neutron Compton scattering measurements have the potential to provide direct information about atomic momentum distributions and adiabatic energy surfaces in condensed matter. First applied to measuring the condensate fraction in superfluid…
Neutron Compton Scattering measurements presented here of the momentum distribution of hydrogen in $KH_2PO_4$ (KDP) just above and well below the ferroelectric transition temperature show clearly that the proton is coherent over both sites…
The series of nickel-oxide compounds LaNiO$_3$ (formal Ni$(d^7)$), La$_2$NiO$_4$ (formal Ni$(d^8)$) and LaNiO$_2$ (formal Ni$(d^9)$) is investigated by first-principles many-body, using a combination of density functional theory,…
A microscopic calculation of Compton scattering on the nucleon is presented which encompasses the lowest energies -- yielding nucleon polarizabilities -- and extends to energies of the order of 600 MeV. We have used the covariant "Dressed…
