Delineating the Factors Impacting the Electrochemical Behavior of Single-Crystal High-Nickel Layered Oxide Cathodes

High-nickel (Ni) (≥80%) single-crystal LiNi 1-x-y Mn x Co y O 2 (NMCs) have garnered recent interest as cathodes in lithium (Li)-ion batteries (LIBs). However, capacity fade at high voltages, particularly after the onset of the H2–H3 phase transition, hampers their viability. In this study, single-crystal LiNi 0.8 Mn x Co 0.2-x O 2 (x = 0.2, 0.1, 0) are synthesized and tested in LiPF 6 in ethyl methyl carbonate-based electrolytes, with and without monofluoroethylene carbonate and LiF 2 PO 2 additives, to clarify the effects of Co/Mn ratio and surface stabilization on high-voltage cycling degradation. By imposing a kinetic barrier to the accessible H2–H3 capacity, surface reconstruction is identified as the primary driver of high-voltage capacity loss, being greater in the Co-free cathode and in the absence of fluorinated electrolyte components. This is attributed to a synergy between increased mechanical stress due to worsened bulk and interfacial H2–H3 kinetics and decreased interfacial stability due to the poor passivating capability of the electrolyte. Here, the findings highlight the importance of limiting cathode impedance growth during high-voltage cycling, which can be achieved by tuning bulk dopants and electrolyte chemistry.

Encumbering the Copper(I)-Diimine Coordination Sphere with a Benzyl Group: Impact on the Stability and Photoredox Properties

Copper(I)-bisdiimine complexes, [Cu(NN) 2 ] + (where NN represents a diimine such as phenanthroline or bipyridine derivatives), are considered promising photosensitizers for various photochemical applications. However, their effectiveness is subject to several key challenges. In particular, controlling steric strain around the copper(I) center by introducing appropriate substituents (R) at the α-position of the nitrogen atoms is crucial for optimizing the excited-state properties of the complex. In brief, increasing the size of R leads to longer emission lifetimes and higher quantum yields. Additionally, the energy of the singlet excited state rises with increasing steric bulk, enhancing photoinduced reactivity. However, excessive steric strain from bulky substituents can significantly destabilize the coordination sphere. To balance complex stability with increased steric bulk around the metal center, we have developed two novel non-symmetrical ligands featuring branched alkyl chains and benzyl groups at the α-position of the nitrogen atoms. Here, our findings demonstrate that intramolecular π-stacking interactions between the benzyl group and the opposing phenanthroline ligand contribute to stabilizing the coordination sphere. Furthermore, the flexibility of the benzyl group reinforces the tetrahedral geometry around copper(I), resulting in an increased singlet excitedstate energy compared to benchmark complexes. Notably, we show that this enhancement in excited-state energy translates into greater excited-state reactivity.

Map of the Zintl AM 2 Pn 2 Compounds: Influence of Chemistry on Stability and Electronic Structure

The AM 2 Pn 2 (A= Ca, Sr, Ba, Yb, Mg; M = Zn, Cd, Mg; and Pn = N, P, As, Sb, Bi) family of Zintl phases has been known as thermoelectric materials and has recently gained much attention for highly promising materials for solar absorbers in single-junction and tandem solar cells. In this paper, we will, from first principles, explore the entire family of AM 2 Pn 2 compounds in terms of their ground-state structure, thermodynamic stability, and electronic structure. We also perform photoluminescence spectroscopy on bulk powder and thin film samples to verify our results, including the first measurements of the band gaps of SrCd 2 P 2 and CaCd 2 P 2 . The AM 2 Pn 2 compounds exhibit broad stability, are mostly isostructural to CaAl 2 Si 2 (P$\overline{3}$m1), and cover a wide range of band gaps from 0 to beyond 3 eV. This could make them useful for a variety of purposes, for which we propose several candidates, such as CaZn 2 N 2 for tandem top cell solar absorbers and SrCd 2 Sb 2 and CaZn 2 Sb 2 for infrared detectors. By examining the band structures of the AM 2 Pn 2 , we find that Mg 3 Sb 2 has the most promise as a thermoelectric material due to several off-Γ valence band pockets, which are unique to it among the compositions studied here.

First-principles insights into chromium-induced oxide phases in NiO

The high-temperature oxidation of Ni–Cr alloys leads to complex oxide scales comprising Ni(Cr)O solid solutions, NiCr 2 O 4 spinel, and Cr 2 O 3 corundum within the NiO matrix. Understanding the atomic-scale mechanisms of Cr segregation and precipitate formation is crucial for enhancing oxidation resistance. Here, we employ density functional theory calculations to investigate Cr behavior on NiO(100), (110), and (111) surfaces and in the bulk. Our results reveal that isolated Cr atoms preferentially segregate to the surfaces, stabilizing Ni(Cr)O solid solutions via strong Cr–O bonding, whereas Cr pairs and clusters favor subsurface migration and bulk aggregation, promoting nucleation of NiCr 2 O 4 and Cr 2 O 3 phases. These findings elucidate a size-dependent segregation mechanism linking Cr coordination environments to oxide phase evolution. This atomic-scale insight informs strategies to tailor oxide microstructures and enhance the high-temperature oxidation resistance of Ni–Cr alloys.

Multi‐Objective Optimization for Rapid Identification of Novel Compound Metals for Interconnect Applications

Abstract Interconnect materials play the critical role of routing energy and information in integrated circuits. However, established bulk conductors, such as copper, perform poorly when scaled down beyond 10 nm, limiting the scalability of logic devices. Here, a multi‐objective search is developed, combined with first‐principles calculations, to rapidly screen over 15,000 materials and discover new interconnect candidates. This approach simultaneously optimizes the bulk electronic conductivity, surface scattering time, and chemical stability using physically motivated surrogate properties accessible from materials databases. Promising local interconnects are identified that have the potential to outperform ruthenium, the current state‐of‐the‐art post‐Cu material, and also semi‐global interconnects with potentially large skin depths at the GHz operation frequency. The approach is validated on one of the identified candidates, CoPt, using both ab initio and experimental transport studies, showcasing its potential to supplant Ru and Cu for future local interconnects.

Epitaxial 2D Magnet and Topological Insulator Heterostructures

I will discuss our latest advances on the epitaxial growth of 2D van der Waals (vdW) magnets and their integration with topological insulators (TI). This work is motivated by the realization of topological phases such as the quantum anomalous Hall effect and highly efficient spin-orbit torque produced by TIs. Our initial studies of MnSe2 growth on Bi2Se3 showed a tendency for the interdiffusion of Mn into the Bi2Se3. This ultimately led to the synthesis of MnBi2Se4 (MBS), a new magnetic TI. Interestingly, the vdW phase is not the thermodynamically stable phase and bulk crystals do not exist, so the epitaxial stabilization of MBS creates the opportunity to explore the magnetic and topological properties of this material. We find that MBS is a layered antiferromagnet, similar to MnBi2Te4, but a difference is that the magnetic moments lie in the plane of the film. Angle resolved photoemission experiments show the presence of a topological surface state with Dirac dispersion. For bilayers of 2D magnets and TIs, we have developed FGT films on Bi2Te3. We first optimized FGT by studying its growth on Ge(111) substrates, where we find that kinetic considerations play a major role. Using cross-sectional scanning transmission electron microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy, we optimize the FGT films to have atomically smooth surfaces and abrupt interfaces with the Ge(111). Subsequently, we have developed the growth of FGT on Bi2Te3 for the integration of 2D magnets with Tis. Interestingly, we observe room temperature ferromagnetism in FGT/Bi2Te3 heterostructures by varying the growth conditions.

Atomic‐Scale Surface Imaging of Bulk Epitaxial CsPbBr 3 Perovskite Single Crystals on Mica Using Light Assisted Scanning Tunneling Microscopy at Low‐Temperature (80 K)

Epitaxial single-crystalline CsPbBr 3 perovskite films on mica, prepared ex situ, are explored using a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM) by probing the unoccupied electronic states of their surface in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) at 80 K. Light-assisted STM measurements under a broadband illumination with visible light were employed to enhance and stabilize surface conductivity. STM imaging across the surface of macroscopic bulk CsPbBr 3 films reveals large flat terraces characterized by a specific type of surface reconstruction, consisting of parallel rows of U-shaped atomic nanostructures. These structures are spaced by 12 Å and exhibit an internal feature size of 5.1 Å. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reproduce the experimental observations and reveal a competition between different orthorhombic CsPbBr 3 (110) surface reconstructions: a Cs-rich structure, identified as the most energetically stable, and three alternative Pb–Br-rich reconstructions, which are slightly higher in energy yet remain consistent with the STM data. Additional analyses that explicitly account for the mica substrate exclude the cubic CsPbBr 3 phase and other orthorhombic surface orientations, while showing that variations in the mica surface termination do not alter the preferred CsPbBr 3 (110) reconstruction. In conclusion, this combined approach thereby confirms our assignment and resolves previous STM interpretations of CsPbBr 3 .

Field-tailoring quantum materials via magneto-synthesis: metastable metallic and magnetically suppressed phases in a trimer iridate

We demonstrate that applying modest magnetic fields (< 0.1 T) during high-temperature crystal growth can profoundly alter the structure and ground state of a spin-orbit-coupled, antiferromagnetic trimer lattice. Using BaIrO₃ as a model system, whose ground state is intricately dictated by the trimer lattice, we show that magneto-synthesis , a field-assisted synthesis approach, stabilizes a structurally compressed, metastable metallic and magnetically suppressed phases inaccessible via conventional methods. These effects include a 0.85% reduction in unit cell, 4-order-of-magnitude decrease in resistivity, a 10-fold enhancement of the Sommerfeld coefficient, and the collapse of long-range magnetic order -- all intrinsic and bulk in origin. First-principles calculations confirm that the field-stabilized structure lies substantially above the ground state in energy, highlighting its metastable character. These large, coherent and correlated changes across multiple bulk properties, unlike those caused by dilute impurities, defects or off-stoichiometry, point to an intrinsic field-induced mechanism. The findings establish magneto-synthesis as a powerful new pathway for accessing non-equilibrium quantum phases in strongly correlated materials.

Czochralski Growth and Characterization of a Compositionally Complex Rare Earth Aluminum Garnet Scintillator: (Gd 1/4 Y 1/4 Tb 1/4 Lu 1/4 ) 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce

Compositionally complex oxides have garnered increasing interest for their enhanced phase stability and tunable functional properties, yet their development as bulk single crystal scintillators remains limited. Herein, we report the Czochralski growth and characterization of (Gd 1/4 Y 1/4 Tb 1/4 Lu 1/4 ) 3 Al 5 O 12 :Ce (GYTLAG), a compositionally complex garnet incorporating four dodecahedrally coordinated principal rare earth elements. The garnet phase was confirmed by powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, and macroscopic defects are described. X-ray absorption near-edge structure measurements confirm the 3+ oxidation state of all rare earths and support their occupation of the same crystallographic site; white line intensity variations correlate with the anticipated segregation behavior. Elemental segregation is quantified by SEM/EDS and ICP-OES, and a linear trend was established between the segregation coefficient and the difference between each rare earth’s ionic radius (r) and the average ionic radius (AIR) of the dodecahedral site. This trend offers a predictive framework for compositional control in future REAG crystals grown by the Czochralski method. Photoluminescence and radioluminescence measurements reveal both Ce 3+ and Tb 3+ emission. Scintillation pulses exhibit four-component decay with dominant ~230 µs and ~1.2 ms components, and the light yield is estimated to be up to 43,000 ph/MeV under 137Cs γ-ray excitation. GYTLAG also demonstrates a strong radioluminescence efficiency and 50% lower afterglow at 20 ms compared to a LuAG:Ce reference, underscoring its promise for scintillator applications.

Electronic Structure of Compressively Strained Bilayer Nickelate Thin Film

The discovery of superconductivity in bulk bilayer nickelates under high pressure, and its subsequent stabilization in compressively strained thin films at ambient pressure, has established a new platform for exploring high-𝑇 c superconductivity beyond the cuprates. Central to this development is the prominent role of the 3⁢𝑑$^2_𝑧$ orbital in shaping the low-energy electronic structure, imposing constraints on microscopic theories and fueling debate over the superconducting mechanism. Here we report a systematic in situ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of compressively strained bilayer nickelate thin films spanning Ca doping, oxygen stoichiometry and film thickness. Despite variations in oxygen-vacancy disorder and surface termination, the electronic structure remains robust and exhibits a systematic strain-driven evolution consistent with an intermediate-correlation regime. In particular, we demonstrate a Ca-doping-induced electronic structure evolution that is consistent with Fermi-level crossing of the 𝛾 band and is decoupled from the presence of superconductivity, suggesting that, while important for the 𝛾 band to be near the Fermi level, the debated 𝛾 crossing and the resulting Fermi pocket may not be a prerequisite for superconductivity. Together, our results establish key spectroscopic constraints on the minimal fermiology and correlation strength relevant to superconductivity in bilayer nickelates, providing an experimental foundation for microscopic theories of their pairing mechanism.

Cosmological quasiparticles and the cosmological collider

The interplay between cosmology and strongly coupled dynamics can yield transient spectral features that vanish at late times, but which may leave behind phenomenological signatures in the spectrum of primordial fluctuations. Of particular interest are strongly coupled extensions of the standard model featuring approximate conformal invariance. In flat space, the spectral density for a scalar operator in a conformal field theory is characterized by a continuum with scaling law governed by the dimension of the operator, and is otherwise featureless. Anti–de Sitter/conformal field theory arguments suggest that for large 𝑁, in an inflationary background with Hubble rate 𝐻, this continuum is gapped. We demonstrate that there can be additional peak structures that become sharp and particlelike at phenomenologically interesting regions in parameter space, and we estimate their contribution to cosmological observables. We find phenomena that are potentially observable in future experiments that are unique to these models, including displaced oscillatory features in the squeezed limit of the bispectrum. These particles can be either fundamental, and localized to a UV brane, or composite at the Hubble scale, 𝐻, and bound to a horizon in the bulk of the 5D geometry. We comment on how stabilization of conformal symmetry breaking vacua can be correlated with these spectral features and their phenomenology.

Understanding the Performance Gap between Polycrystalline and Single-Crystal Nickel-Rich Layered Oxide Cathodes

Singe-crystal (SC) nickel-rich layered oxide cathodes, composed of boundary-free particles with high tap density, offer significant advantages in volumetric energy density and mechanical strength compared with polycrystalline (PC) cathode materials. However, as the nickel content increases (≥80%), SC Ni-rich cathodes often suffer from faster performance degradation than PC cathodes of the same composition, and the underlying causes of this discrepancy remain poorly understood. Herein, we reveal the distinct Ni redox behaviors that govern the electrochemical performance of SC and PC Ni-rich cathodes using multiscale and operando characterization techniques. Our results indicate that the increasingly heterogeneous Ni oxidation process in SC cathodes leads to the additional irreversible oxygen redox activity that deteriorates both the mechanical and chemical structures. In contrast, PC cathodes, despite with more pronounced surface reconstruction, exhibit greater chemomechanical stability due to homogeneous redox reactions during charging. Consequently, we find that bulk degradation, more than surface reactions, ultimately leads to fast capacity decay of SC Ni-rich cathodes during cycling. In conclusion, this work offers a comprehensive view on the impact of Ni redox evolutions on the chemomechanical stability in Ni-rich layered oxide cathodes, providing new insights into the longstanding performance gap between SC and PC cathodes, and guiding the rational design of Ni-rich cathode architectures.

Large exciton binding energy in a bulk van der Waals magnet from quasi-1D electronic localization

Excitons, bound electron-hole pairs, influence the optical properties in strongly interacting solid-state systems and are typically most stable and pronounced in monolayer materials. Bulk systems with large exciton binding energies, on the other hand, are rare and the mechanisms driving their stability are still relatively unexplored. Here, we report an exceptionally large exciton binding energy in single crystals of the bulk van der Waals antiferromagnet CrSBr. Utilizing state-of-the-art angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and self-consistent ab-initio GW calculations, we present direct spectroscopic evidence supporting electronic localization and weak dielectric screening as mechanisms contributing to the amplified exciton binding energy. Furthermore, we report that surface doping enables broad tunability of the band gap offering promise for engineering of the optical and electronic properties. Our results indicate that CrSBr is a promising material for the study of the role of anisotropy in strongly interacting bulk systems and for the development of exciton-based optoelectronics.

Thermally driven surface phase separation in intermetallic alloys

Intermetallic compounds are widely recognized for their high-temperature phase stability and resistance to composition and structural changes. However, we reveal athermally activated bulk-to-surface mass exchange mechanism that drives surface phase separation, resulting in the formation of surface precipitates with distinct composition andstructure from the bulk matrix. Using the archetypal β-NiAl system, we show that asymmetries in vacancy formation energies between Ni and Al atoms induce preferential Ni segregation to the surface, forming Ni-rich γ'-Ni 3 Al precipitates. By integrating in-situ electron microscopy, synchrotron X-ray absorption spectroscopy and first-principles computational modeling, we establish a direct mechanistic connection between bulk thermal defect dynamics, surface compositional evolution, and phase segregation behavior. This bulk-surface coupling mechanism can be a driver of surface phase separation in multicomponent alloys under thermal stress. In conclusion, these results refine the thermodynamic boundaries of intermetallic stability and provide insights into managingthe performance and durability of intermetallic alloys for demanding high-temperature applications.

Enhancing stability, magnetic anisotropy, and coercivity of manganese aluminum: Machine learning, ab initio , and micromagnetic modeling

The binary manganese aluminum (MnAl) alloy with L⁢1 0 crystal structure is a promising rare earth (RE) element-free permanent magnetic material because of its exceptional magnetic properties. However, experimentally synthesizing it in a stable bulk form is extremely challenging. Here, in this study, an alternative method of stabilizing the material, a pathway for experimental synthesis and validation, is proposed and theoretically verified. This is done by partially substituting Mn and Al sites with Fe and Ni and identifying its enhanced phase stability, saturation magnetization density, magnetic anisotropy, and coercivity from density functional theory (DFT), machine learning (ML) crystal graph convolution neural network (CGCNN), and micro-magnetic modeling. When considering a fixed 50% Ni, the magnetic anisotropy increases with the increasing Fe content but decreases the formation energy. The calculated formation energies, elastic constants, and phonon frequencies demonstrate that the binary and quaternary compositions are stable. Most importantly, in 50% Fe and Ni-substituted-equiatomic phase, magnetic anisotropy constants and saturation magnetization density increase by 56% and 23% as compared to the MnAl. Further, the coercivity of the equiatomic phase predicted with micro-magnetic modeling is higher by 17% than the parent compound.

Geochemical-hydromechanical couplings during water-serpentinized harzburgite interactions at 20° C and 30 bars

Interaction of groundwater with the serpentinized harzburgites of the upper mantle plays an important role in the geologic carbon cycle and serpentinization processes. Here, in this study, an intact serpentinized harzburgite with more than 60% lizardite from the Semail ophiolite in Oman was reacted with water at near neutral pH and low PCO 2 to observe its dissolution behavior and reaction path within the CaO-MgO-SiO 2 -CO 2 -H 2 O system at 20 °C and 30 bars. In the experiment, mass (i.e. H 2 O, ions) transfer is by diffusion and the selected temperature and pressure conditions mimic water-rock interactions at the shallow portions of most ultramafic rock hosted aquifers. Equilibrium activity-activity diagrams and thermodynamic data were used to compare the experimentally determined reaction path with the theoretical stability boundaries for minerals involved to investigate the evolution of bulk chemical composition, mineralogy, and water composition. The experiments demonstrated that (i) the water-rock interactions increased the pH of the aqueous phase from 5.9 to 7.5 over a period of 18 weeks; (ii) the dissolution of lizardite, orthopyroxene (enstatite), and clinopyroxene (diopside and augite) increased the concentration of Mg, Ca, and Si in the aqueous phase; (iii) the dissolution was incongruent with respect to Mg and Si, favoring Si release at pH > 6 due to (a) breaking of more reactive cation‑oxygen bonds that is consistent with the stoichiometry of magnesium for proton exchange reaction which favors a surface that is enriched in Mg at basic conditions, and (b) preferential dissolution of clinopyroxene Mg 1.30 Ca 0.52 Fe 0.06 Si 2 O 6 ; (iv) the aqueous phase was undersaturated with respect to carbonate (e.g. calcite, magnesite, and hydromagnesite) and hydrous (e.g. lizardite, chrysotile, brucite, and talc) minerals; (v) the bulk chemical composition and mineralogy of the intact serpentinized harzburgite matrix did not change; (vi) the thermodynamic data can successfully predict water-intact serpentinized harzburgite behavior if the water chemical composition can be constrained; and (vii) no detectable macroscopic form of damage (e.g. microcracks forming as a result of differential stress fields due to changes in volume during chemical reaction) was observed.

High-Pressure Phase Transition of Metastable Wurtzite-Like CuInSe 2 Nanocrystals

Ternary I–III–VI 2 semiconductors, such as CuInSe 2 , exhibit diverse polymorphs with unique structural characteristics and optoelectronic properties. This study investigates the pressure-induced phase transitions of metastable wurtzite-like CuInSe 2 nanocrystals. Using a combination of synchrotron X-ray diffraction, pair distribution function analysis, and density functional theory calculations, we reveal a transition from cation-ordered wurtzite-like (Pmc2 1 ) to cation-disordered NaCl-like (Fm3̅m) structures at 7.7 GPa. The cation-disordered NaCl-like phase persists upon decompression. Bulk modulus calculations highlight size-dependent deviations from bulk material behavior. These findings deepen our understanding of phase stability in colloidal I–III–VI 2 semiconductor nanocrystals, with implications for tailoring functional materials under extreme conditions.

Phase Stability and Electrochemical Performance of La-Site-Doped Li6La3Zr0.5Nb0.5Ta0.5Hf0.5O12 High-Entropy Garnets

We investigate La-site substitution in the high-entropy garnet Li6La3Zr0.5Nb0.5Ta0.5Hf0.5O12 (LLZNTH) using Ba2+, Sr2+, and Sm3+ to elucidate how dopant governs phase stability, Li-site distribution, and electrochemical behavior. X-ray diffraction shows that Sr2+ is incorporated homogeneously into the garnet lattice, whereas the larger Ba2+ and smaller Sm3+ ions partially exceed the structural tolerance, generating secondary phases. Nevertheless, the Sm-doped composition (x = 0.05) exhibits the highest room-temperature ionic conductivity (2.7 × 10–4 S cm–1). Neutron powder diffraction reveals that Sm substitution drives a redistribution of Li+ from the tetrahedral 24 d sites into the higher-mobility 96 h positions, enhancing the connectivity of the three-dimensional Li-ion migration network. A Sm-doping series (x = 0.01–0.05) further shows that only sufficiently high Sm levels induce this redistribution, whereas lower concentrations retain Li arrangements similar to the undoped garnet. Critical current density measurements demonstrate that La-site dopants also influence interfacial stability against Li metal, underscoring a trade-off between bulk transport enhancement and mechanical robustness. Collectively, these findings reveal that in high-entropy garnets improved ionic conductivity can originate not only from phase-pure structures but also from targeted modification of the Li sublattice, even when accompanied by secondary phases, offering a compositional design principle for garnet electrolytes.
