The hydrogen-containing bronzes H 0.23 WO 3 and H 0.10 ReO 3 synthesized via a polymer route

We report the synthesis of two hydrogen-containing perovskite-type bronzes H 0.23 WO 3 and H 0.10 ReO 3 utilizing an unconventional solid-state synthetic approach, involving the use of the polymer Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (CH 2 CF 2 ) n. Powder neutron diffraction at ambient temperature shows that H 0.23 WO 3 crystallizes in a tetragonal symmetry distortion of the simple perovskite structure (space group P4/nmm), with lattice parameters a = 5.2279(2) Å, and c =3.8763(1) Å. H 0.10 ReO 3 , in contrast, crystallizes in a monoclinic distortion of a simple cubic perovskite (space group P2/m), with lattice parameters a = 5.3125(1) Å, b = 5.3155(3) Å, c = 3.7045(3) Å, and γ = 90.43(1)°. Both H 0.23 WO 3 and H 0.10 ReO 3 exhibit intrinsically diamagnetic behavior, with low temperature paramagnetic upturns and no signs of bulk superconductivity down to 0.35 K.

Spin fluctuations in the 112-type iron-based superconductor Ca 0.82 La 0.18 Fe 0.96 Ni 0.04 As 2

Abstract We report time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering (INS) investigations on the spin fluctuation spectrum in the 112-type iron-based superconductor (FeSC) Ca 0.82 La 0.18 Fe 0.96 Ni 0.04 As 2 (CaLa-112). In comparison to the 122-type FeSCs with a centrosymmetric tetragonal lattice structure (space group I 4 / m m m ) at room temperature and an in-plane stripe-type antiferromagnetic (AF) order at low temperature, the 112 system has a noncentrosymmetric structure (space group P 2 1 ) with additional zigzag arsenic chains between Ca/La layers and a magnetic ground state with similar wavevector Q A F but different orientations of ordered moments in the parent compounds. Our INS study clearly reveals that the in-plane dispersions and the bandwidth of spin excitations in the superconducting CaLa-112 closely resemble to those in 122 systems. While the total fluctuating moments ⟨ m 2 ⟩ ≈ 4.6 ± 0.2 μ B 2 /Fe are larger than 122 system, the dynamic correlation lengths are similar ( ξ ≈ 10 Å). These results suggest that superconductivity in iron arsenides may have a common magnetic origin under similar magnetic exchange couplings with a dual nature from local moments and itinerant electrons, despite their different magnetic patterns and lattice symmetries.

Advancing Heteroanionicity in Zintl Phases: Crystal Structures, Thermoelectric and Magnetic Properties of Two Quaternary Semiconducting Arsenide Oxides, Eu 8 Zn 2 As 6 O and Eu 14 Zn 5 As 12 O

Two novel quaternary oxyarsenides, Eu 8 Zn 2 As 6 O and Eu 14 Zn 5 As 12 O, were synthesized through metal flux reactions, and their crystal structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Eu 8 Zn 2 As 6 O crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca, featuring polyanionic ribbons composed of corner-shared triangular [ZnAs 3 ] units, running along the [100] direction. The structure of Eu 14 Zn 5 As 12 O crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/m and its anionic substructure can be described as an infinite “ribbonlike” chain comprised of [ZnAs 3 ] trigonal-planar units, although the structural complexity here is greater and also amplified by disorder on multiple crystallographic positions. In both structures, the O 2– anion occupies an octahedral void with six neighboring Eu 2+ cations. Formal electron counting, electronic structure calculations, and transport properties reveal the charge-balanced semiconducting nature of these heteroanionic Zintl phases. High-temperature thermoelectric transport properties measurements on Eu 14 Zn 5 As 12 O reveal relatively high resistivity (ρ 500K = 8 Ω·cm) and Seebeck coefficient values (S 500K = 220 μV K –1 ), along with a low concentration and mobility of holes as the dominant charge-carriers (n 500K = 8.0 × 10 17 cm –3 , μ 500K = 6.4 cm 2 /V s). Magnetic studies indicate the presence of divalent Eu 2+ species in Eu 14 Zn 5 As 12 O and complex magnetic ordering, with two transitions observed at T 1 = 21.6 K and T 2 = 9 K.

Synthesis and ion-irradiation tolerance of the Dy2TiO5 polymorphs

In developing improvements in nuclear fuels, work has been conducted in replacing boron with lanthanides to act as neutron absorbent materials. To further this development for the first time the three major polymorphs of Dy2TiO5 have been fabricated as bulk, single-phase materials in a systematic study. Crystal structure refinement has been carried out from powder x-ray diffraction data, with further structural detail attained via electron diffraction. A cubic phase, defect-pyrochlore, Fd-3m space group, was found with cell parameter a = 10.2996 (1) angstrom and oxygen x48f positional parameter = 0.331 (1). Dy2TiO5 was also fabricated as a bulk, single-phase compound with hexagonal symmetry, P6(3)/mmc space group, with cell parameters a = b = 3.6307(2), c = 11.8963(8) angstrom. The radiation response for each of the polymorphs has been investigated in-situ via 1 MeV Kr - ion-irradiation and transmission electron microscopy characterisation at the IVEM-TANDEM facility, Argonne National Laboratory. Critical temperatures, T-c, for maintaining crystallinity during irradiation were determined and showed Dy2TiO5 with either orthorhombic or cubic symmetry to perform the best, with the lowest T-c values of 711 and 761 K respectively when compared with the hexagonal form. These relatively low T-c values may be attributed to different characteristics for each phase; high anti-site defect formation energy for the orthorhombic symmetry, and the ability to accommodate disorder for the cubic symmetry.

Intercalation And High-Pressure Effects On Structural Phase Transitions In Layered As x P 1-x Alloys

This project was aimed at understanding the role of composition, intercalation, and high pressure on the structural evolution of black phosphorous (BP) and layered arsenic phosphorous alloys, As y P 1-y . Under normal conditions, BP is the most stable phase of phosphorous, known as the α-phase, characterized by an orthorhombic honeycomb puckered crystal structure with the Cmca space group. On the other hand, the most stable phase of arsenic is its β-phase, known as gray arsenic (g-As), which has a rhombohedral buckled layered crystal structure with the R3m space group. In a wide range of compositions (y < 0.83), the arsenic phosphorous alloys form the α-phase, known as black arsenic phosphorous (b-As y P 1-y ) with a similar structure to BP. The project was aimed at the synthesis of BP and b-As y P 1-y with different compositions and at studying the structural evolution of these materials during intercalation with alkali metal (especially Li), and under high-pressure conditions. The main goals were to gain a better understanding of these processes and structural changes taking place under these conditions. In particular, the project was aimed at addressing whether such conditions could induce a structural transition between the α- and β-phases. For this, a series of systematic in-situ studies were conducted, including electrochemical lithium intercalation in an in-situ electrochemical cell, and high-pressure experiments in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). Overall, both types of experiments have shown that above a certain composition-dependent threshold level of intercalation or high pressure, the system undergoes phase segregation rather than phase transition. Specifically, the segregation of the excess arsenic was observed, and a single-phase system of b-As y P 1-y transformed into a two-phase system consisting of b-As y P 1-y and g-As, through the following process: 1∗(b-As y P 1-y ) → 1∗(b As y-δ P 1-y ) + δ∗(g-As). Also, the study showed that intercalation and high-pressure are two competing rather than synergistic processes causing at least a partial cancelation of these two factors

Gapless Criterion for Crystals from Effective Axion Field

Gapless criteria that can efficiently determine whether a crystal is gapless or not are particularly useful for identifying topological semimetals. In this work, we propose a sufficient gapless criterion for three-dimensional noninteracting crystals, based on the simplified expressions for the bulk average value of the static axion field. The brief logic is that two different simplified expressions give the same value in an insulator, and thus the gapless phase can be detected by the mismatch of them. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the gapless criterion in the magnetic systems with space groups 26 and 13, where mirror, glide, and inversion symmetries provide the simplified expressions. In particular, the gapless criterion can identify gapless phases that are missed by the symmetry-representation approach, as illustrated by space group 26. Our proposal serves as a guiding principle for future discovery of topological semimetals.

Crystallization of Chicken Egg-White Lysozyme from Ammonium Sulfate

Chicken egg-white lysozyme was crystallized from ammonium sulfate over the pH range 4.0-7.8, with protein concentrations from 100 to 150 mg/ml. Crystals were obtained by vapor-diffusion or batch-crystallization methods. The protein crystallized in two morphologies with an apparent morphology dependence on temperature and protein concentration. In general, tetragonal crystals could be grown by lowering the protein concentration or temperature. Increasing the temperature or protein concentration resulted in the growth of orthorhombic crystals. Representative crystals of each morphology were selected for X-ray analysis. The tetragonal crystals belonged to the P4(sub 3)2(sub 1)2 space group with crystals grown at ph 4.4 having unit-cell dimensions of a = b = 78.7 1, c=38.6 A and diffracting to beyond 2.0 A. The orthorhombic crystals, grown at pH 4.8, were of space group P2(sub 1)2(sub 1)2 and had unit-cell dimensions of a = 30.51, b = 56.51 and c = 73.62 A.

Mild Hydrothermal Crystal Growth of Two Luminescing Uranyl Phosphates Exhibiting an Autunite-Type Sheet Structure

Two new layered uranyl phosphate compounds, K(UO 2 )PO 4 (H 2 O) 3 and Na(UO 2 )PO 4 (H 2 O) 1.52 , crystallizing in an autunite-type sheet structure, were successfully synthesized as both single-crystals and polycrystalline powders under mild hydrothermal conditions. The compound K(UO 2 )PO 4 (H 2 O) 3 crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system with the space group P4/ncc, exhibiting lattice parameters of a = b = 6.99320(7) Å and c = 17.8389(3) Å. Similarly, Na(UO 2 )PO 4 (H 2 O) 1.52 also crystallizes in the tetragonal crystal system, however, in the space group P4/nmm and exhibits lattice parameters of a = b = 6.9787 Å and c = 8.6303(17) Å. Both compounds adopt layered structures, a characteristic feature of uranyl phosphates, and exhibit intense green fluorescence typical for uranyl-containing materials. As a result, the infrared spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and scintillation properties of these compounds were investigated.

Theory of a continuous bandwidth-tuned Wigner-Mott transition

Here we develop a theory for a continuous bandwidth-tuned transition at fixed fractional electron filling from a metal with a generic Fermi surface to a “Wigner-Mott” insulator that spontaneously breaks crystalline space-group symmetries. Across the quantum critical point, (i) the entire electronic Fermi surface disappears abruptly upon approaching from the metallic side, and (ii) the insulating charge gap and various order parameters associated with the spontaneously broken space-group symmetries vanish continuously upon approaching from the insulating side. Additionally, the insulating side hosts a Fermi surface of neutral spinons. We present a framework for describing such continuous metal-insulator transitions (MITs) and analyze the example of a bandwidth-tuned transition at a filling, $v$=1/6, for spinful electrons on the triangular lattice. By extending the theory to a certain large-$N$ limit, we provide a concrete example of such a continuous MIT and discuss numerous experimental signatures near the critical point. We place our results in the context of recent experiments in moiré transition metal dichalcogenide materials.

Probing structure–property relationship in chemical vapor deposited hybrid perovskites by pressure and temperature

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), a low-cost and a scalable deposition technique, allows the growth of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI 3 ) films without the use of solvents, substantially increasing air stability while also inducing the stable cubic phase at room temperature and at pressures as low as 0.25 GPa. MAPbI 3 thin films were grown by a facile two-step low-pressure vapor deposition process in a single reactor. This method results in films, which are usually in the tetragonal phase (space group: I4/mcm) and occasionally in the cubic phase under ambient conditions. High-pressure synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction studies from CVD-grown MAPbI 3 crystallites show that the sample remains in the cubic phase (space group: Im$\bar{3}$) between 0.25 and 3.0 GPa. Temperature-dependent transport measurements show sharp anomalies, correlating with the structural changes. The transport measurements from the CVD- grown cubic MAPI 3 film is further compared with a film in the tetragonal phase.

Emergence of heavy-fermion behavior and distorted square nets in partially vacancy-ordered Y 4 Fe x Ge 8 (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5)

Disorders in intermetallic systems belonging to the CeNiSi 2 -family are frequently overlooked. Even compounds presumed to be stoichiometric, such as YFeGe 2 , can be misidentified. Here, in this study, we report a series of Y 4 Fe x Ge 8 (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5) compounds and show, using high-resolution synchrotron X-ray diffraction, that they feature asymmetrical structural distortions in the Fe and Ge sites that lead to a superstructure with partially ordered Fe vacancies and distorted Ge square-net in the triclinic crystal system, space group P[1 with combining macron] with a = 11.4441(3) Å, b = 32.7356(7) Å, c = 11.4456(3) Å, α = 79.6330(10)°, β = 88.3300(10)°, and γ = 79.6350 (10)°. The unit cell is 16 times the conventional orthorhombic cell with the space group Cmcm. We identified the lower and upper limits for Fe in Y 4 Fe x Ge 8 (1.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5). Our physical property measurements yielded a Sommerfeld coefficient γ = 39.8 mJ mole −1 K −2 , a Kadowaki–Woods ratio of 1.2 × 10 −5 μΩ cm mole 2 K 2 mJ −2 , and a Wilson ratio of 1.83, suggesting heavy fermion behavior in the absence of f electrons, a rather rare case. Furthermore, we observed strong spin frustration and noted findings indicating possible superconductivity associated with the Fe content.

Magnetic structure evolution of LiFe 1- x Co x PO 4 olivines upon delithiation

We present a comprehensive study of the nuclear and magnetic structures of the mixed olivine solid solution series LiFe 1-x Co x PO 4 as well as their delithiated counterparts, for metal concentrations x = 0.2 - 0.6. Through neutron powder diffraction studies, we find that the LiFe 1-x Co x PO 4 series orders in the magnetic space group Pnma', consistent with their Li(Fe/Co)PO 4 parent structures. After chemical delithiation using peracetic acid, however, the removal of over 30% of the lithium from the lattice results in a transition from an A y -type to an A x -type antiferromagnetic structure. The magnetic space group consistent with A x antiferromagnetism was found to be Pn'm'a'. Interestingly, magnetic susceptibility measurements of both series reveal that delithiation increases the magnetic transition temperature, T N , from 50 K to 115 K. We find through analysis of the diffraction data that the unit cell parameters change linearly as a function of x; consequently, the exchange pathways between the Fe/Co magnetic cations are affected by the delithiation. Here, we discuss how exchange pathways, metal oxidation states, and d-orbital occupation all contribute to the observed magnetic symmetries and trends in T N in both series.

High spin polarization in the disordered quaternary Heusler alloy FeMnVGa

Here in this paper, we report the successful synthesis of a Fe-based highly spin-polarized quaternary Heusler alloy FeMnVGa and its structural, magnetic, and transport properties probed through different experimental methods and theoretical techniques. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations performed on different types of structures reveal that the structure with Ga at 4a, V at 4b, Mn at 4c, and Fe at 4d (space group F$\bar{4}$3m) possess minimum energy among all the ordered variants. Ab initio simulations in the most stable ordered structure show that the compound is a ferromagnet having a large spin-polarization (89.9%). Neutron diffraction reveals that the compound crystallizes in disordered type-2 structure (space group Fm$\bar{3}$m) in which Ga occupies at 4a, V 4b and Fe/Mn occupy 4c/4d sites with 50:50 proportions. The structural disorder is further confirmed by x-ray diffraction, extended x-ray absorption fine structure, 57 Fe Mössbauer spectrometry results, and DFT calculations. Magnetization studies suggest that the compound orders ferromagnetically below T C ~ 293 K and the saturation magnetization follows the Slater-Pauling rule. Mössbauer spectrometry, along with neutron diffraction, suggest that Mn is the major contributor to the total magnetism in the compound, consistent with the theoretical calculations, which also indicates that spin polarization remains high (81.3%), even in the presence of such large atomic disorder. The robustness of the half-metallic ferromagnetic (HMF) property in the presence of disorder is a quite unique characteristic over other reported HMF in literature and makes this compound quite promising for spintronics applications.

Centrosymmetric or Noncentrosymmetric? Transition Metals Talking in K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T = Co, Fe)

Two new quaternary sulfides K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T=Co, Fe) have been synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state routine and flux growth method. The crystal growth process of K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T=Co, Fe) was elucidated by in-situ powder X-ray diffraction and DSC thermal analysis. The mm-sized crystals of K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T=Co, Fe) were grown. K 2 CoGe 3 S 8 crystallizes in a new structure type in centrosymmetric space group P1¯ (No. 2) with unit cell parameters of a = 7.016(1) Å, b = 7.770(1)Å, c = 14.342(1) Å, α = 93.80(1)°, β = 92.65(1)°, γ = 114.04(1)°. K 2 FeGe 3 S 8 crystallizes in K 2 FeGe 3 Se 8 structure type and the noncentrosymmetric space group P2 1 (No. 4) with unit cell parameters of a = 7.1089(5)Å, b = 11.8823(8)Å, c = 16.7588(11)Å, β = 96.604(2)°. There is a high structural similarity between K 2 CoGe 3 S 8 and K 2 FeGe 3 S 8 . The larger volume coupled with higher degrees of distortion of [FeS 4 ] tetrahedra compared to [CoS 4 ] tetrahedra accounts for the structure’s shift from centrosymmetric to noncentrosymmetric. The theory simulation confirms that [TS 4 ]T= Co or Fe tetrahedra play a crucial role in controlling the structure and properties of K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T = Co, Fe). The measured optical bandgaps of K 2 CoGe 3 S 8 and K 2 FeGe 3 S 8 are 2.1(1) eV and 2.6(1) eV respectively. K 2 FeGe 3 S 8 shows antiferromagnetic ordering at 24K while no magnetic ordering was detected in K 2 CoGe 3 S 8 . In conclusion, the magnetic measurements also demonstrate the divalent nature of transition metals in K 2 TGe 3 S 8 (T = Co, Fe).

Structural and Spectroscopic Analysis of Ln(II) 18-crown-6 and Benzo-18-crown-6 Complexes (Ln = Sm, Eu, Yb)

Three Ln 2+ 18-crown-6 complexes of the formula Ln(18-crown-6)I 2 (Ln = Sm, Eu, Yb) were isolated from the explicit synthesis of the corresponding LnI 2 salts with 18-crown-6 and tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate in organic media under air-free conditions. Each metal complex forms a distorted hexagonal bipyramidal geometry and crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /n. Comparatively, crystallization of Ln(benzo-18-crown-6)I 2 (Ln = Sm, Eu, Yb) from the reaction of LnI2 with tetrabutylammonium tetraphenylborate and benzo-18-crown-6 in THF/ethanol under similarly air-free conditions yields two polymorphs. The first form, α, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 /c (or the nonstandard setting P2 1 /n for α-Yb); whereas the second polymorph, β, crystallizes in P$\bar{1}$. While the geometries of the molecules only vary slightly, the molecular packing and intramolecular contacts are quite different. In the structure of β, π–π interactions between the benzo- moieties of adjacent molecules are observed, whereas these interactions are absent in α. Despite the similarities in these classically 4f n+1 lanthanide systems, the complexes display distinct spectroscopic features in their respective absorption and photoluminescence spectra. Broadband 5d → 4f photoluminescence was observed for the Sm and Eu compounds in the NIR region and UV–visible region, respectively. None of the three Yb compounds exhibit photoluminescence UV–visible-NIR region; however, a unique photooxidation event was observed resulting in characteristic Yb(III) 4f → 4f transitions in the NIR region of the absorption spectra of these compounds. Finally, these findings are discussed along with structural comparisons of the 18-crown-6 and benzo-18-crown-6 compounds as well as other reported Ln(II) crown complexes in the literature.

Dimensional reduction upon calcium incorporation in Cs 0.3 (Ca 0.3 Ln 0.7 )PS 4 and Cs 0.5 (Ca 0.5 Ln 0.5 )PS 4

A series of Ca-containing lanthanide thiophosphates has been obtained and their structural evolution from 3D for LnPS 4 and Cs 0.3 (Ln 0.7 Ca 0.3 )PS 4 to 2D in Cs 0.5 (Ln 0.5 Ca 0.5 )PS 4 was shown as a function of Ca content. The first series with an idealized formula of Cs 0.3 (Ca 0.3 Ln 0.7 )PS 4 crystallizes in the R3¯m with combining macron]m space group and belongs to a new structure type that consists of a channel containing [(Ca 0.3 Ln 0.7 )PS 4 ] 0.3– framework, where the channels are occupied by severely disordered Cs + cations. A second new series with formula Cs 0.5 (Ca 0.5 Ln 0.5 )PS 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group and exhibits a layered structure consisting of [(Ca 0.5 Ln 0.5 )PS 4 ] 0.5– layers with Cs + cations located between the layers for charge balance. Together with the parent structure type, LnPS 4 , these three structure types illustrate how the LnPS 4 structure changes with Cs + cation incorporation, reducing its dimensionality from 3D to 2D. The magnetic properties of Cs 0.3 [(Ca 0.3 Ce 0.7 )PS 4 ] and Cs 0.3 [(Ca 0.3 Pr 0.7 )PS 4 ] were studied and revealed no magnetic transition down to 2 K.

d -Electron Heavy Fermion Behavior in a Near-Room-Temperature Polar Metallic Ferrimagnet: A Case of Mn 5 SiC

Polycrystalline Mn 5 SiC was synthesized by using a high-temperature solid-state method. Mn 5 SiC adopts a polar space group (Cmc2 1 ) with six crystallographic Mn sites confirmed by X-ray and neutron diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and second harmonic generation experiments. The complex crystal structure features edge-sharing trigonal prisms and icosahedra, as well as face/edge-sharing pentagonal prisms. Magnetic measurements indicate ferrimagnetic ordering with a transition temperature of 284 K. The ferrimagnetic structure (magnetic space group Cm’c’2 1 ) was further identified by powder neutron diffraction, where collinear Mn spins align along the crystallographic c-axis. The refined magnetic moment for each crystallographic Mn site at 4 K is 1.8(2), −2.42(9), −1.72(8), 0.51(6), 0.50(4), and 1.7(2) μ B . Density functional theory calculations confirm both the metallic behavior and the ferrimagnetic structure observed experimentally and further provide insight into the observed Mn moment dependence across crystallographic sites. The resistivity and specific heat measurements and density functional theory calculations reveal a substantially large Kadowaki–Woods ratio of 5 × 10 –5 μΩ·cm/(mJ/mol) 2 and a many-body renormalization factor of 5.5, indicating the unusual heavy Fermion behavior in such an itinerant magnetic metal.
