Quantum liquid from strange frustration in the trimer magnet Ba4Ir3O10

Abstract Quantum spin systems such as magnetic insulators usually show magnetic order, but such classical states can give way to quantum liquids with exotic entanglement through two known mechanisms of frustration: geometric frustration in lattices with triangle motifs, and spin-orbit-coupling frustration in the exactly solvable quantum liquid of Kitaev’s honeycomb lattice. Here we present the experimental observation of a new kind of frustrated quantum liquid arising in an unlikely place: the magnetic insulator Ba 4 Ir 3 O 10 where Ir 3 O 12 trimers form an unfrustrated square lattice. The crystal structure shows no apparent spin chains. Experimentally we find a quantum liquid state persisting down to 0.2 K that is stabilized by strong antiferromagnetic interaction with Curie–Weiss temperature ranging from −766 to −169 K due to magnetic anisotropy. The anisotropy-averaged frustration parameter is 2000, seldom seen in iridates. Heat capacity and thermal conductivity are both linear at low temperatures, a familiar feature in metals but here in an insulator pointing to an exotic quantum liquid state; a mere 2% Sr substitution for Ba produces long-range order at 130 K and destroys the linear-T features. Although the Ir 4+ (5d 5 ) ions in Ba 4 Ir 3 O 10 appear to form Ir 3 O 12 trimers of face-sharing IrO 6 octahedra, we propose that intra-trimer exchange is reduced and the lattice recombines into an array of coupled 1D chains with additional spins. An extreme limit of decoupled 1D chains can explain most but not all of the striking experimental observations, indicating that the inter-chain coupling plays an important role in the frustration mechanism leading to this quantum liquid.

Gapless Dirac magnons in CrCl3

Abstract Bosonic Dirac materials are testbeds for dissipationless spin-based electronics. In the quasi two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of CrX 3 (X = Cl, Br, I), Dirac magnons have been predicted at the crossing of acoustical and optical spin waves, analogous to Dirac fermions in graphene. Here we show that, distinct from CrBr 3 and CrI 3 , gapless Dirac magnons are present in bulk CrCl 3 , with inelastic neutron scattering intensity at low temperatures approaching zero at the Dirac K point. Upon warming, magnon-magnon interactions induce strong renormalization and decreased lifetimes, with a ~25% softening of the upper magnon branch intensity from 5 to 50 K, though magnon features persist well above T N . Moreover, on cooling below ~50 K, an anomalous increase in the a -axis lattice constant and a hardening of a ~26 meV phonon feature are observed, indicating magnetoelastic and spin-phonon coupling arising from an increase in the in-plane spin correlations that begins tens of Kelvin above T N .

Self-assembly of aramid amphiphiles into ultra-stable nanoribbons and aligned nanoribbon threads

Small molecule self-assembly is an established route for producing high surface area nanostructures with readily customizable chemistries and precise molecular organization. However, these structures are fragile, exhibiting molecular exchange, migration, and rearrangement - among other dynamic instabilities - and ultimately disassociate upon drying. Here we show a small molecule platform, the aramid amphiphile (AA), that overcomes these dynamic instabilities by incorporating a Kevlar-inspired domain into the molecular structure. Strong, anisotropic interactions between AAs suppress molecular exchange and elicit spontaneous self-assembly in water to form nanoribbons with lengths of up to 20 microns. The nanoribbons have a Young’s modulus of 1.7 GPa and tensile strength of 1.9 GPa. Here, we exploit this stability to extend small molecule self-assembly to hierarchically ordered macroscopic materials outside of solvated environments. Through an aqueous shear alignment process, we organize AA nanoribbons into arbitrarily long flexible threads that support 200 times their weight when dried. Tensile tests of the threads provide a benchmark for Young’s moduli (between ~400 and 600 MPa) and extensibilities (between ~0.6 and 1.1%) that depend on the counterion chemistry in solution. This bottom-up approach to macroscopic materials could benefit solid-state applications, historically inaccessible by self-assembled nanomaterials.

Moiré trions in MoSe 2 /WSe 2 heterobilayers

Transition metal dichalcogenide moiré bilayers with spatially periodic potentials have emerged as a highly tunable platform for studying both electronic and excitonic phenomena. The power of these systems lies in the combination of strong Coulomb interactions with the capability of controlling the charge number in a moiré potential trap. Electronically, exotic charge orders at both integer and fractional fillings have been discovered. However, the impact of charging effects on excitons trapped in moiré potentials is poorly understood. Here, we report the observation of moiré trions and their doping-dependent photoluminescence polarization in H-stacked MoSe 2 /WSe 2 heterobilayers. We find that as moiré traps are filled with either electrons or holes, new sets of interlayer exciton photoluminescence peaks with narrow linewidths emerge about 7 meV below the energy of the neutral moiré excitons. Circularly polarized photoluminescence reveals switching from co-circular to cross-circular polarizations as moiré excitons go from being negatively charged and neutral to positively charged. Furthermore, this switching results from the competition between valley-flip and spin-flip energy relaxation pathways of photo-excited electrons during interlayer trion formation. Our results offer a starting point for engineering both bosonic and fermionic many-body effects based on moiré excitons.

Observation of light-driven band structure via multiband high-harmonic spectroscopy

Intense light–matter interactions have revolutionized our ability to probe and manipulate quantum systems at sub-femtosecond timescales, opening routes to the all-optical control of electronic currents in solids at petahertz rates. Such control typically requires electric-field amplitudes in the range of almost volts per angstrom, when the voltage drop across a lattice site becomes comparable to the characteristic bandgap energies. In this regime, intense light–matter interaction induces notable modifications to the electronic and optical properties, dramatically modifying the crystal band structure. Yet, identifying and characterizing such modifications remain an outstanding problem. As the oscillating electric field changes within the driving field’s cycle, does the band structure follow and how can it be defined? Here we address this fundamental question, proposing all-optical spectroscopy to probe the laser-induced closing of the bandgap between adjacent conduction bands. Our work reveals the link between nonlinear light–matter interactions in strongly driven crystals and the sub-cycle modifications in their effective band structure.

Multi-qubit entanglement and algorithms on a neutral-atom quantum computer

Gate model quantum computers promise to solve currently intractable computational problems if they can be operated at scale with long coherence times and high fidelity logic. Neutral atom hyperfine qubits provide inherent scalability due to their identical characteristics, long coherence times, and ability to be trapped in dense multi-dimensional arrays. Combined with the strong entangling interactions provided by Rydberg states, all the necessary characteristics for quantum computation are available. Here we demonstrate several quantum algorithms on a programmable gate model neutral atom quantum computer in an architecture based on individual addressing of single atoms with tightly focused optical beams scanned across a two-dimensional array of qubits. Preparation of entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states with up to 6 qubits, quantum phase estimation for a chemistry problem, and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) for the MaxCut graph problem are demonstrated. These results highlight the emergent capability of neutral atom qubit arrays for universal, programmable quantum computation, as well as preparation of non-classical states of use for quantum enhanced sensing.

Ion diffusion coefficients in poly(3-alkylthiophenes) for energy conversion and biosensing: role of side-chain length and microstructure

Conductive polymers are promising materials as active elements for energy storage and conversion devices due to mixed ion–electron conduction. The ion diffusion coefficient is a relative measure of the efficacy of ion transport, allowing for comparison between materials and electrochemical conditions. In this work, diffusion coefficients of hexafluorophosphate (PF6–) counterions in poly(3-alkylthiophene) (P3AT) materials are measured as a function of both side-chain length and microstructure using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). For semi-crystalline films, the diffusion coefficient is found to be anomalous and nearly independent of applied electrochemical potential. Here, the anomalous behavior of diffusion indicates that spin casting yields compact films with an enthalpic barrier to ion transport, attributed to ionic trapping. Diffusion coefficient values ~10 –11 cm 2 s –1 were measured for all films, indicating interchain spacing, in the absence of strong intermolecular interactions with the electrolyte, is not a viable design strategy to control ion transport. For the prototypical system of poly(3-hexylthiophene), we observe almost no potential dependence in ion transport for regioregular and regiorandom films of comparable molecular weight, with both exhibiting anomalous diffusion. Alternatively, changing the microstructure of poly(3-hexylthiophene) to a mostly amorphous, ion-imprinted structure yields ~500× increase in the diffusion coefficient to ~2 × 10 –8 cm 2 s –1 at 0.8 V vs. Ag/Ag + with behavior closer to ordinary diffusion. Collectively, these results indicate new insight into ion transport in conductive polymers, where ionic trapping effects can be mitigated through electrodeposition protocols over post-synthesis processing (i.e. spin coating).

Critical role of structural order in bipolar redox-active molecules for organic redox flow batteries

Bipolar redox-active molecules (BRMs) have been suggested as a means to address crossover related issues in all-organic redox flow batteries (RFBs). In such species, electron donors (anolytes) and electron acceptors (catholytes) are linked by a chain, and the same chemical composition is used in both anode and cathode compartments to reduce chemical gradients and unbalanced ion transport. The resultant RFBs resemble the aqueous vanadium RFBs, but offer greater design flexibility and potentially more favorable electrochemical and physicochemical properties. Yet the complex trade-offs in these properties have been a complication. Here we developed a fundamental rubric to uncover the likely origins in the performance metrics of these BRMs that are salient for their use in RFBs. Methylene linked phenothiazine and phthalimide moieties were employed as model BRMs and variations in their properties and molecular conformations were evaluated by systematically varying the methylene linker. Our results revealed that even minimalistic changes in the linker length resulted in dramatic oscillations in the solubility and stability. Using crystallography, quantum chemistry, and molecular dynamics, we clarify that the seemingly fluctuating behavior is due to (1) the inter- and intra-molecular charge transfer between the donor and acceptor through bond or/and through space; (2) the formation of distinctive packing/clustering motifs. Both interactions are strongly dependent on the molecular conformation. As these structural factors modify the electronic structure of both electroactive functional groups and do not change monotonically, the structure–property response in BRMs is often complex. Finally, accordingly, these behaviors need to be taken into account in developing BRMs and knowledge of these structural factors will allow the more rational design of BRMs for grid-scale energy storage.

Polymers in molten inorganic salt hydrate phase change materials: solubility and gelation

Inorganic salt hydrates are of interest as phase change materials (PCMs) for thermal energy storage because of their unique properties, such as high latent heats of fusion, moderate melting temperatures, high volumetric energy storage densities, and enhanced thermal conductivities compared to their organic counterparts. Because of the low viscosities of molten salt hydrates, the leakage and settling of solids can easily occur during their application. Polymers are promising candidates for preventing these issues. In addition, the non-flammability, non-volatility, and nontoxicity of many molten salt hydrates make them attractive options as “green” solvents for polymers. However, solutions of polymers in molten salt hydrates have rarely been studied and are poorly understood. The highly ionic environments in these materials created due to a scarcity of hydration water for ions leads to strong ionic interactions, with ramifications for polymer solubility and chain expansion. This Perspective article aims to focus on polymer solutions and gels in inorganic salt hydrates by comparing these systems with existing knowledge of polymers in traditional ionic liquids and aqueous salt solutions. To provide insight into the states of ions and water in molten salt hydrates and the degree of hydration of polymers in these solvents, infrared spectroscopy experiments have been performed, and the data are correlated with the temperature-responsive gelation of poly(vinyl alcohol), one candidate material currently used for the shape stabilization of inorganic PCMs. Finally, the thermal properties of inorganic salt hydrates and ionic liquids are compared and strategies for the shape stabilization of inorganic salt hydrates using polymers, through the formation of physical gels, are discussed.

Directing the adsorption and assembly of laponite nano-discs at oil–water interfaces

Achieving tunable controls on the adsorption and self-assembly of nanoscale building blocks at immiscible fluid interfaces is essential for synthesizing advanced materials, stabilizing emulsions, and the sustainable storage and recovery of fluids. Although extensive efforts have been directed toward resolving the assembly of spherical nanoparticles at water–hydrocarbon interfaces, 2D nanoparticles have received far less attention. In this study, we developed novel controls to direct the adsorption and assembly of 2D laponite nano-discs (diameter = ∼30 nm and thickness = ∼1 nm) at water–heptane interfaces using traces of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant, demonstrated by advanced in situ small-angle X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, spinning drop tensiometer measurements and molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that SDS surfactant displaces the adsorbed laponite nano-discs from the interface toward the aqueous phase. The extent of this displacement increases with SDS concentration such that high SDS concentrations convert laponite-rich interfaces to SDS-rich interfaces free of laponite nano-discs. This transformation is associated with significant alterations in the rheological and nanomechanical properties of the host interface. In this context, reduction in interfacial tension and interfacial stiffness and an increase in the interfacial deformation is observed on increasing the SDS concentration from 0 to 0.1 wt%. The displacement of laponite nano-discs from the interface is driven by strong electrostatic interactions between the hydrophilic SDS group and interfacial water molecules. These studies unlock new insights into the adsorption and assembly of 2D nanoscale particles at water–hydrocarbons interfaces that are relevant for various applications related to energy and environmental science and engineering.

Unlocking liquid chemisorption in solid matrices: immobilized deep eutectic solvent-ZIF-8 composites for next-generation CO 2 capture

Achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 requires scalable and durable CO 2 capture solutions, with direct air capture (DAC) gaining increasing prominence. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have emerged as promising candidates due to their strong chemisorptive properties, but their liquid-phase nature limits integration into solid systems. In this study, we introduce a solid–liquid hybrid approach by immobilizing [TEAB][TEPA] 2 , a highly CO 2 -reactive DES, onto various supports via non-covalent immobilization. This strategy induces solid-like behavior while retaining molecular-level reactivity of the DES. Among the supports including ZIF-8, zeolite Y, zirconia, and alumina, the [TEAB][TEPA] 2 @ZIF-8-56% composite demonstrated promising CO 2 uptake capacity of 2.00 mmol g −1 adsorbent at 1 bar, 1.48 at 0.15 bar, 0.96 at 0.01 bar, and 0.59 at 0.4 mbar. Particularly, we can observe that the chemisorption capacity under 400 ppm conditions is successfully introduced into ZIF-8, whereas pristine ZIF-8 showed negligible uptake under these same conditions. Breakthrough experiments confirmed robust capture behavior under humid conditions. The composite exhibited excellent cycling stability over 100 capture-release cycles, supported by thermogravimetric analysis. In situ DRIFTS verified that the chemisorptive nature of the DES remained intact after immobilization. Additional characterization studies, including FTIR, PXRD, N 2 physisorption, and XPS depth profiling, revealed partial DES infiltration and strong interfacial interactions. Comparative results using alumina-based composites underscored the importance of microporosity in stability. Finally, these findings suggest that DES-MOF composites hold promise as carbon capture materials, bridging liquid-phase functionality and solid-state robustness.

Nonlinear coupling of electromagnetic and electron acoustic waves in multi-species degenerate astrophysical plasma

Nonlinear wave-coupling is studied in a multispecies degenerate astrophysical plasma consisting of two electron species (at different temperatures): a highly degenerate main component plus a smaller classical relativistic flow immersed in a static neutralizing ion background. It is shown that the high frequency electromagnetic waves through their strong nonlinear interactions with the electron-acoustic waves [sustained by a multielectron component (degenerate) plasma surrounding a compact astrophysical object] can scatter to lower frequencies so that the radiation observed faraway will be spectrally shifted downward. It is also shown that, under definite conditions, the electromagnetic waves could settle into stationary solitonic states. It is expected that the effects of such structures may persist as detectable signatures in forms of modulated micropulses in the radiation observed far away from the accreting compact object. Both these effects will advance our abilities to interpret the radiation coming out of the compact objects.

Results from a new flowing liquid Li limiter with TZM substrate during high confinement plasmas in the EAST device

A third generation flowing liquid lithium (FLiLi) limiter with a substrate made of TZM, an alloy with >99% Mo, was fabricated by conventional manufacturing techniques. TZM has a high corrosion resistance, a high sputtering threshold, and a good wettability to Li, as compared to stainless steel (SS), which had been used as an FLiLi substrate surface in 2014 and 2016. The third generation FLiLi was inserted into the edge in EAST H-mode plasmas in an upper single-null configuration with an ion grad-B drift toward the upper divertor with a limiter temperature of 330–380 °C and an auxiliary heating power of about 2–8 MW. Analysis has shown that by using TZM FLiLi, fuel particle recycling continuously decreased and near-complete edge localized mode elimination was achieved in H-mode plasmas with RF-only heating. The main impurities during the initial FLiLi discharges were Mo, Fe, and W resulting from strong plasma interaction at the Mo plate side, the SS collector, and the upper W divertor. Plasma stored energy increased by about 10 kJ in subsequent FLiLi discharges due to decreased impurity radiation. Engineering analysis shows a uniform lithium flow with an ~80% Li coverage ratio on the limiter surface, similar to the second FLiLi, even though only one of two J × B pumps was functioning. Despite technical difficulties, the FLiLi gen.3 improved the overall plasma performance, providing support for flowing liquid Li plasma facing component applications in present and future devices.

Simulated field-modulated x-ray absorption in titania

Here, we present a method to compute the x-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectra of solid-state transition metal oxides using real-time time-dependent density functional theory, including spin–orbit coupling effects. This was performed on bulk-mimicking anatase titania (TiO 2 ) clusters, which allows for the use of hybrid functionals and atom-centered all electron basis sets. Furthermore, this method was employed to calculate the shifts in the XANES spectra of the Ti L-edge in the presence of applied electric fields to understand how external fields can modify the electronic structure, and how this can be probed using x-ray absorption spectroscopy. Specifically, the onset of t 2g peaks in the Ti L-edge was observed to red shift and the e g peaks were observed to blue shift with increasing fields, attributed to changes in the hybridization of the conduction band (3d) orbitals.

Simulating sticky particles: A Monte Carlo method to sample a stratification

Many problems in materials science and biology involve particles interacting with strong, short-ranged bonds that can break and form on experimental timescales. Treating such bonds as constraints can significantly speed up sampling their equilibrium distribution, and there are several methods to sample probability distributions subject to fixed constraints. We introduce a Monte Carlo method to handle the case when constraints can break and form. More generally, the method samples a probability distribution on a stratification: a collection of manifolds of different dimensions, where the lower-dimensional manifolds lie on the boundaries of the higher-dimensional manifolds. We show several applications of the method in polymer physics, self-assembly of colloids, and volume calculation in high dimensions.

Cavity molecular dynamics simulations of vibrational polariton-enhanced molecular nonlinear absorption

We report recent experiments have observed that the chemical and photophysical properties of molecules can be modified inside an optical Fabry– Pérot microcavity under collective vibrational strong coupling (VSC) conditions, and such modification is currently not well understood by theory. In an effort to understand the origin of such cavity-induced phenomena, some recent studies have focused on the effect of the cavity environment on the nonlinear optical response of the molecular subsystem. Here, we use a recently proposed protocol for classical cavity molecular dynamics simulations to numerically investigate the linear and the nonlinear response of liquid carbon dioxide under such VSC conditions following an optical pulse excitation. We find that applying a strong pulse of excitation to the lower hybrid light–matter state, i.e., the lower polariton (LP), can lead to an overall molecular nonlinear absorption that is enhanced by up to two orders of magnitude relative to the excitation outside the cavity. This polariton-enhanced multiphoton absorption also causes an ultrashort LP lifetime (0.2 ps) under strong illumination. Unlike usual polariton relaxation processes—whereby polaritonic energy transfers directly to the manifold of singly excited vibrational dark states—under the present mechanism, the LP transfers energy directly to the manifold of higher vibrationally excited dark states; these highly excited dark states subsequently relax to the manifold of singly excited states with a lifetime of tens of ps. Because the present mechanism is generic in nature, we expect these numerical predictions to be experimentally observed in different molecular systems and in cavities with different volumes.

Ultrafast dynamics of CN radical reactions with chloroform solvent under vibrational strong coupling

Polariton chemistry may provide a new means to control molecular reactivity, permitting remote, reversible modification of reaction energetics, kinetics, and product yields. A considerable body of experimental and theoretical work has already demonstrated that strong coupling between a molecular vibrational mode and the confined electromagnetic field of an optical cavity can alter chemical reactivity without external illumination. However, the mechanisms underlying cavity-altered chemistry remain unclear in large part because the experimental systems examined previously are too complex for detailed analysis of their reaction dynamics. Here, we experimentally investigate photolysis-induced reactions of cyanide radicals with strongly-coupled chloroform (CHCl 3 ) solvent molecules and examine the intracavity rates of photofragment recombination, solvent complexation, and hydrogen abstraction. Here we use a microfluidic optical cavity fitted with dichroic mirrors to facilitate vibrational strong coupling (VSC) of the C–H stretching mode of CHCl 3 while simultaneously permitting optical access at visible wavelengths. Ultrafast transient absorption experiments performed with cavities tuned on- and off-resonance reveal that VSC of the CHCl 3 C–H stretching transition does not significantly modify any measured rate constants, including those associated with the hydrogen abstraction reaction. This work represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first experimental study of an elementary bimolecular reaction under VSC. We discuss how the conspicuous absence of cavity-altered effects in this system may provide insights into the mechanisms of modified ground state reactivity under VSC and help bridge the divide between experimental results and theoretical predictions in vibrational polariton chemistry.

Enhanced coercivity in Fe5C2/SiO2 core/shell nanocrystals

Rod-shaped Fe5C2 and core/shell Fe5C2/SiO2 nanocrystals were synthesized via a solution-based chemical method. Structural analysis confirmed the monoclinic phase of Fe5C2 with space group C2/c. Zero-field-cooling (ZFC) and field-cooling (FC) magnetization curves revealed distinct magnetic behaviors: uncoated Fe5C2 exhibited a low-temperature FC plateau indicative of strong dipolar interactions, while Fe5C2/SiO2 showed a monotonic increase in FC magnetization, suggesting reduced dipolar interactions due to SiO2 surface passivation. Isothermal remanent magnetization (IRM) and DC demagnetization (DCD) measurements supported this trend, with δM plots confirming weaker dipolar interactions in the coated sample. Bloch’s law fitting of temperature-dependent saturation magnetization showed a smaller Bloch’s constant for pure Fe5C2 and a larger value for Fe5C2/SiO2, reflecting enhanced surface disorder and reduced exchange coupling in the latter. Notably, Fe5C2/SiO2 demonstrated increased coercivity, attributed to decreased dipolar interaction and elevated surface anisotropy. Kneller’s law fitting yielded higher blocking temperatures for Fe5C2 (476 K) than Fe5C2/SiO2 (456 K), highlighting the impact of dipolar interactions on magnetic relaxation. These findings illustrate how SiO2 coatings effectively modulate dipolar interactions and enhance coercivity in Fe5C2 nanocrystals.
