In situ high pressure XRD diffraction and Raman spectroscopy have been performed on 12 nm CeO2 nanoparticles. Surprisingly, under quasihydrostatic condition, 12 nm CeO2 nanoparticles maintain the fluorite-type structure in the whole…
Pt catalyst particles on reducible oxide supports often change their activity significantly at elevated temperatures due to the strong metal-support interaction (SMSI), which induces the formation of an encapsulation layer around the noble…
Silicon is a promising anode material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries. However, the volume change and the voltage hysteresis during lithiation and delithiation are two substantial drawbacks to their lifetime and performance. We…
Silicon (Si) is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, and it is the most important and widely used semiconductor, constituting the basis of modern electronic devices. Despite extensive study, some properties of Si remain elusive. For…
Understanding the equation of state (EOS) of neutron stars (NSs) is a fundamental challenge in astrophysics and nuclear physics. A first-order phase transition (FOPT) at high densities could lead to the formation of a quark core,…
Molecular dynamics simulations using a Gaussian Approximation Potential (GAP) reveal a stress triaxiality driven, two-step Si-I (diamond cubic) to Si-V (simple hexagonal) phase transition pathway in a spherical Si nanoparticle with a 10 nm…
Pressure is a unique tuning parameter for probing the properties of materials and has been particularly useful for studies of electronic materials such as high-temperature cuprate superconductors. Here we report the effects of…

It is now well established that materials are stronger when their dimensions are reduced to submicron scale. However, what happens at dimensions such as a few tens of nanometers or lower remains largely unknown, with conflicting reports on…
The SAFT-0 is an equation of state (EOS) that considers the effects of molecular association based on the statistical association fluid theory (SAFT). This EOS recently showed relatively successful calculations of the phase-equilibrium…

Electronic properties of silicon-based clathrates can be tuned by boron incorporation into the silicon cage network. Sodium borosilicides clathrate outstands with uncommon stoichiometry and expected metallic properties, in contrast to other…
Phase I of hydrogen has several peculiarities. Despite having a close-packed crystal structure, it is less dense than either the low temperature Phase II or the liquid phase. At high pressure, it transforms into either phase III or IV,…
$0^+$, $1^-$, $2^+$, and $3^-$ excitations of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ are investigated via proton and $\alpha$ inelastic scattering off $^{28}\textrm{Si}$. The structure calculation of $^{28}\textrm{Si}$ is performed with the energy variation…
