In this work we study the temperature independent resistivity of rare-earth magnetic (Gd, Tb, Dy) and non-magnetic (Lu) impurities diluted in dhcp Lanthanum. We considered a two-band system where the conduction is entirely due to $s$-electrons while the screening of the charge difference induced by the impurity is made by the $d$-electrons. We obtain an expression of the resistivity using the $T$-matrix formalism from the Dyson equation. As the electronic properties depend strongly on the band structure, we have considered two types of bands structure, a "parabolic" band and a more realistic one calculated by first principles with VASP. We verify that the exchange parameters appearing as cross products strongly affect the magnitude of the spin resistivity term; And that the role of the band structure in resonant scattering or virtual bound states, depends on the band structure. Our study, also includes the influence of the translational symmetry breaking and the excess charge introduced by the {it rare-earth} impurity on the resitivity.
在这项工作中，我们研究了稀土磁性（Gd、Tb、Dy）和非磁性（Lu）杂质稀释在 dhcpLanthanum 中与温度无关的电阻率。我们考虑了一个双带系统，其中传导完全由 s 电子完成，而杂质引起的电荷差的屏蔽则由 d 电子完成。我们利用戴森方程中的 $T$ 矩阵形式得到了电阻率的表达式。由于电子特性在很大程度上取决于能带结构，我们考虑了两种能带结构，一种是 "抛物线 "能带，另一种是用 VASP 根据第一性原理计算的更现实的能带。我们验证了作为交叉积累出现的交换参数会强烈影响自旋电阻率项的大小；而且带状结构在共振散射或虚拟束缚态中的作用取决于带状结构。我们的研究还包括平移对称性破缺和{it稀土}杂质引入的额外电荷对电阻率的影响。

Ferroelasticity describes a phenomenon in which a material exhibits two or more equally stable orientation variants and can be switched from one form to another under an applied stress. Recent works have demonstrated that two-dimensional layered organic$-$inorganic hybrid Ruddlesden$-$Popper perovskites can serve as ideal platforms for realizing ferroelasticity, however, the ferroelastic (FE) behavior of structures with a single octahedra layer such as (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$ (BA = CH$_3$(CH$_2$)$_3$NH$_3$$^+$) has remained elusive. Herein, by using a combined first-principles and metadynamics approach, the FE behavior of (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$ under mechanical and thermal stresses is uncovered. FE switching is mediated by cross-plane intermolecular coupling, which could occur through multiple rotational modes, rendering the formation of FE domains and several metastable paraelastic (PE) phases. Such metastable phases are akin to wrinkled structures in other layered materials and can act as a "funnel" of hole carriers. Thermal excitation tends to flatten the kinetic barriers of the transition pathways between orientation variants, suggesting an enhanced concentration of metastable PE states at high temperatures, while halogen mixing with Br raises these barriers and conversely lowers the concentration of PE states. These findings reveal the rich structural diversity of (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$ domains, which can play a vital role in enhancing the optoelectronic properties of the perovskite and raise exciting prospects for mechanical switching, shape memory, and information processing.
铁弹性描述了一种现象，在这种现象中，一种材料表现出两种或两种以上同样稳定的取向变体，并能在外加应力作用下从一种形式切换到另一种形式。最近的研究表明，二维层状有机$$-无机杂化 Ruddlesden$-$Popperovskites 可以作为实现铁弹性的理想平台，然而，具有单个八面体层（如 (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$（BA = CH$_3$(CH$_2$)$_3$NH$_3$^+$ ）的结构的铁弹性（FE）行为仍然是一个未知数。在这里，通过使用第一原理和元动力学相结合的方法，揭示了 (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$ 在机械和热应力下的 FE 行为。FE 开关由跨面分子间耦合介导，可能通过多种旋转模式发生，从而形成 FE 域和几种可蜕变的副弹性（PE）相。这种可变相类似于其他层状材料中的皱褶结构，可以充当空穴载流子的 "漏斗"。热激发倾向于平缓取向变体之间过渡途径的动力学势垒，这表明在高温下可蜕变的 PE 状态的浓度会增加，而卤素与 Br 的混合则会提高这些势垒，反之则会降低 PE 状态的浓度。这些发现揭示了 (BA)$_2$PbI$_4$ 结构域的丰富多样性，它们在增强包晶的光电特性方面发挥着重要作用，并为机械开关、形状记忆和信息处理带来了令人兴奋的前景。

Neural network potential based molecular dynamics (MD) simulations on the excellent H conductor LaH2.75O0.125 show that O starts diffusing above a critical temperature of Tc~550 K, according to the variance of atom positions regardless of the time step. The original diffusion process at temperatures below Tc has an activation barrier of 0.25 eV. Use of MD simulations with various O and La mass revealed, at above Tc, the coexistence of the 0.25 eV process and an additional diffusion process with an activation barrier of 0.20 eV.

The increasing demand for energy storage solutions has spurred intensive research into next-generation battery technologies. Oxygen-ion batteries (OIBs), which leverage mixed ionic-electronic conducting (MIEC) oxides, have emerged as promising candidates due to their solid, non-flammable nature and potential for high power densities. This study investigates the use of over-stoichiometric La2NiO4+delta (L2NO4) as a cathode material for OIBs, exploring its capacity for electrochemical energy storage. Half-cell measurements reveal that L2NO4 with a closed-pore microstructure can store oxygen, achieving a volumetric charge of 63 mA.h.cm-3 at 400 {deg}C with a current density of 3.6 uA.cm-2 and potentials up to 0.75 V vs. 1 bar O2. Additionally, a functional full cell combining over-stoichiometric L2NO4 and under-stoichiometric La0.5Sr0.5Cr0.2Mn0.8O3-delta (LSCrMn) has been successfully developed, demonstrating excellent cyclability and coulomb efficiency. The full cell reaches a maximum volumetric charge of 90 mA.h.cm-3 at 400 {deg}C, 17.8 uA.cm-2, and a cut-off voltage of 1.8 V. This proof of concept underscores the viability of combining over- and under-stoichiometric MIEC materials in OIBs and provides critical insights into optimizing electrode materials and tuning oxygen content for improved performance. This research lays the groundwork for future advancements in OIB technology, aiming to develop materials with lower resistance and higher efficiency.

We demonstrate the ability of large language models (LLMs) to perform material and molecular property regression tasks, a significant deviation from the conventional LLM use case. We benchmark the Large Language Model Meta AI (LLaMA) 3 on several molecular properties in the QM9 dataset and 24 materials properties. Only composition-based input strings are used as the model input and we fine tune on only the generative loss. We broadly find that LLaMA 3, when fine-tuned using the SMILES representation of molecules, provides useful regression results which can rival standard materials property prediction models like random forest or fully connected neural networks on the QM9 dataset. Not surprisingly, LLaMA 3 errors are 5-10x higher than those of the state-of-the-art models that were trained using far more granular representation of molecules (e.g., atom types and their coordinates) for the same task. Interestingly, LLaMA 3 provides improved predictions compared to GPT-3.5 and GPT-4o. This work highlights the versatility of LLMs, suggesting that LLM-like generative models can potentially transcend their traditional applications to tackle complex physical phenomena, thus paving the way for future research and applications in chemistry, materials science and other scientific domains.

Non-planar aromatic molecules are interesting systems for organic electronics and optoelectronics applications due to their high stability and electronic properties. By using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we investigated thianthrene-based molecules adsorbed on Au(111), which are non-planar in the gas phase and the bulk solid state. Varying the molecular coverage leads to the formation of two different kinds of self-assembled structures: close-packed islands and quasi one-dimensional chains. We found that the molecules are non-planar within the close-packed islands, while the configuration is planar in the molecular chain and for single adsorbed molecules. Using vertical tip manipulation to isolate a molecule from the island, we demonstrate the conversion of a non-planar molecule to its planar configuration. We discuss the two different geometries and their electronic properties with the support of density functional theory calculations.

The structural properties of amorphous GeO$_2$, a prototypical network glass, were investigated under ambient to high pressure using reverse Monte Carlo simulations based on reported structure factors from in situ high-pressure neutron diffraction experiments with isotopic substitution. The results indicate the retention of the topological structure containing predominantly tetrahedral GeO$_4$ units up to ca.~SI{4}{gigapascal} ($rho/rho_0 = 1.15$), which is explained by the reduction of cavity volumes. With further application of pressure, an increase in the number of GeO$_5$ units is first observed, which is then followed more gradually by an increase in the number of GeO$_6$ units.

The traditional method for exciting spin-wave dynamics in magnetic materials involves microwave magnetic fields generated by current injection into inductive antennas. However, there is a growing interest in non-inductive excitation methods. Magneto-acoustic effects present a viable alternative, where strains produced by applying voltages to a piezoelectric substrate can couple to spin-waves in a magnetic film. Recently, it has been proposed that surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can excite the gyrotropic mode of the vortex state in a magnetic disk. Here we report on experiments utilizing a magnetic resonance force microscope to investigate magnetization dynamics in CoFeB sub-micrometer disks in the vortex state, grown on a Z-cut LiNbO$_3$ substrate. The device design enables excitation of the gyrotropic mode either inductively, using an antenna on top of the disks, or acoustically via SAWs launched from an interdigital transducer. Our modelling indicates that the lattice rotation {omega}xz generates a localized magneto-acoustic field that displaces the vortex core from the disk center, initiating the gyration motion. Tuning of the magneto-acoustic torque acting on the vortex structure is achieved by a perpendicular magnetic field.

However, there is a growing interest in non-inductive\u0000excitation methods. Magneto-acoustic effects present a viable alternative,\u0000where strains produced by applying voltages to a piezoelectric substrate can\u0000couple to spin-waves in a magnetic film. Recently, it has been proposed that\u0000surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can excite the gyrotropic mode of the vortex\u0000state in a magnetic disk. Here we report on experiments utilizing a magnetic\u0000resonance force microscope to investigate magnetization dynamics in CoFeB\u0000sub-micrometer disks in the vortex state, grown on a Z-cut LiNbO$_3$ substrate.\u0000The device design enables excitation of the gyrotropic mode either inductively,\u0000using an antenna on top of the disks, or acoustically via SAWs launched from an\u0000interdigital transducer. Our modelling indicates that the lattice rotation\u0000{omega}xz generates a localized magneto-acoustic field that displaces the\u0000vortex core from the disk center, initiating the gyration motion. Tuning of the\u0000magneto-acoustic torque acting on the vortex structure is achieved by a\u0000perpendicular magnetic field.

This study employs an integral transform approach for Love wave propagation in a rotating composite structure having an interfacial crack. The structure comprises an initially stressed functionally graded piezoelectric viscoelastic half-space bonded to a piezoelectric viscoelastic half-space. The study focuses on two material systems: Epoxy-BNKLBT paired with Epoxy-KNLNTS and Epoxy-BNKLBT paired with Epoxy-PZT7A. The viscoelastic materials are modeled to reflect their complex behavior under rotational and stress conditions. The Galilean transformation is applied to convert the Cartesian coordinates system into a moving reference frame aligned with the Love wave's propagation. Employing Bessel function properties, the system is converted into a set of double integral equations and subsequently reformulated into simultaneous Fredholm integral equations. Numerical solutions to these Fredholm integral equations are used to calculate the electric displacement intensity factor (EDIF) and stress intensity factor (SIF) near the interfacial crack. The key objective of this study is to visualize the impact of different material parameters, like piezoelectric constants, dielectric constants, initial stress, interface electric displacement, interface stress, and rotation, on SIF and EDIF. The investigations of this study will be helpful for advanced technologies like surface acoustic wave (SAW) sensors and piezoelectric actuators, as well as to enhance SAW bio-sensor sensitivity and stability for early cancer detection and biomedical implants.
