Herein, we investigate the Mo andWsubstitution for Cr in synthetic colusite, Cu26Cr2Ge6S32. Primarily, we elucidate the origin of extremely low electrical resistivity which does not compromise the Seebeck coefficient and leads to outstanding power factors of 1.94 mWm−1K−2 at 700 K in Cu26Cr2Ge6S32. We demonstrate that the abnormally long iono-covalent T–S bonds competing with short metallic Cu–T interactions govern the electronic transport properties of the conductive „Cu26S32" framework. We address the key role of the cationic size-mismatch at the core of the mixed tetrahedral–octahedral complex over the transport properties. Two essential effects are identified: 1) only the tetrahedra that are directly bonded to the [TS4]Cu6 complex are significantly distorted upon substitution and 2) the major contribution to the disorder is localized at the central position of the mixed tetrahedral–octahedral complex, and is maximized for x=1, i.e. for the highest cationic sizevariance, σ2. © 2020 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The growing field of quantum information technology requires propagation of information over long distances with efficient readout mechanisms. Excitonic quantum fluids have emerged as a powerful platform for this task due to their straightforward electro-optical conversion. In two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides, the coupling between spin and valley provides exciting opportunities for harnessing, manipulating and storing bits of information. However, the large inhomogeneity of single layers cannot be overcome by the properties of bright excitons, hindering spin-valley transport. Nonetheless, the rich band structure supports dark excitonic states with strong binding energy and longer lifetime, ideally suited for long-range transport. Here we show that dark excitons can diffuse over several micrometers and prove that this repulsion-driven propagation is robust across non-uniform samples. The long-range propagation of dark states with an optical readout mediated by chiral phonons provides a new concept of excitonic devices for applications in both classical and quantum information technology.

The surface structure of phosphorene crystals materials is determined using surface sensitive dynamical micro-spot low energy electron diffraction (μLEED) analysis using a high spatial resolution low energy electron microscopy (LEEM) system. Samples of (i) crystalline cleaved black phosphorus (BP) at 300 K and (ii) exfoliated few-layer phosphorene (FLP) of about 10 nm thicknes, which were annealed at 573 K in vacuum were studied. In both samples, a significant surface buckling of 0.22 Å and 0.30 Å, respectively, is measured, which is one order of magnitude larger than previously reported. Using first principle calculations, the presence of surface vacancies is attributed not only to the surface buckling in BP and FLP, but also the previously reported intrinsic hole doping of phosphorene materials.

The properties of CeO2 nanoparticles were improved by forming Zn-doped CeO2 nanoparticles at 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 at.% with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). All samples of Zn‑doped CeO2/rGO were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, heating them at 150 °C for 12 h followed by processing in an ultrasonic reactor (20 kHz) at 25±1 oC. These samples exhibited a single CeO2 phase corresponding to a face centered cubic structure, except for 20 at.% Zn‑doped CeO2/rGO which presented a ZnO phase. The samples had band gap values lower than expected for undoped CeO2 nanoparticles, higher valence states due to their Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio and a large surface area, 242 m2/g, because of Zn doping in CeO2 samples. The highest specific capacitance value, 43 F/g at 2 mV/s for the 5 at.% Zn‑doped CeO2/rGO, was achieved. Zn doping enabled good capacitive behavior which was caused by the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio effects © 2024, The Authors. All rights reserved.

The optical and electrochemical properties of CeO2 nanoparticles were improved by forming Zn-doped CeO2 nanoparticles at levels of 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20% of Zn with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) referred to in this report as CeO2/rGO, Zn5-CeO2/rGO, Zn10-CeO2/rGO, Zn15-CeO2/rGO and Zn20-CeO2/rGO, respectively. All samples of Zn-doped CeO2/rGO nanocomposites were synthesized using a hydrothermal method, heating them at 150 °C for 12 h followed by processing in an ultrasonic reactor (20 kHz) at 25±1 oC for 1 h. Undoped CeO2 nanoparticles with no rGO were also studied after processing under the same conditions for comparison. The phase, morphology, optical, valence states, surface area and specific capacitance of prepared samples were characterized. These samples exhibited X-ray diffraction patterns of a single CeO2 phase corresponding to a face centered cubic structure, except for the Zn20-CeO2/rGO nanocomposites which presented a ZnO phase. The calculated average crystallite sizes of CeO2 peaks were in the range of 4.60 ± 0.2 to 12.0 ± 0.4 nm. Sample measurements confirmed formation of a composite consisting of CeO2 nanoparticles and rGO. The synthesized samples had band gap values lower than expected for undoped CeO2 nanoparticles, higher valence states due to their Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio and a large surface area, 242 m2/g, because of Zn doping in CeO2 samples. The highest specific capacitance value, 43 F/g at 2 mV/s for the Zn5-CeO2/rGO nanocomposites, was achieved. This is about 3.9 times higher than that of undoped CeO2 nanoparticles. The charge transfer resistance of the synthesized samples was obtained. Zn doping enabled good capacitive behavior which was caused by the Ce3+/Ce4+ ratio effects. © 2024, The Authors.

Periodically driven systems have displayed a variety of fascinating phenomena without analogies in static systems, which enrich the classification of quantum phases of matter and stimulate a wide range of research interests. Here, we employ discrete-time quantum walks to investigate a nontrivial topological effect unique to a two-dimensional periodically driven system: chiral edge states can exist at the interface of Floquet insulators whose Chern numbers vanish. Thanks to a resource-saving and flexible fiber-loop architecture, we realize inhomogeneous two-dimensional quantum walks up to 25 steps, over an effective 51×51 lattice with tunable local parameters. Spin-polarized chiral edge states are observed at the boundary of two distinct quantum walk domains. Our results contribute to establishing a well-controlled platform for exploring nontrivial topological phases.

Strongly enhanced electron-electron interaction in semiconducting moiré superlattices formed by transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) heterobilayers has led to a plethora of intriguing fermionic correlated states1–7. Meanwhile, interlayer excitons in a type-II aligned TMDC heterobilayer moiré superlattice, with electrons and holes separated in different layers8,9, inherit this enhanced interaction and strongly interact with each other, promising for realizing tunable correlated bosonic quasiparticles10,11 with valley degree of freedom. We employ photoluminescence spectroscopy to investigate the strong repulsion between interlayer excitons and correlated electrons in a WS2/WSe2 moiré superlattice and combine with theoretical calculations to reveal the spatial extent of interlayer excitons and the band hierarchy of correlated states. We further find that an excitonic Mott insulator state emerges when one interlayer exciton occupies one moiré cell, evidenced by emerging photoluminescence peaks under increased optical excitation power. Double occupancy of excitons in one unit cell requires overcoming the energy cost of exciton-exciton repulsion of about 30-40 meV, depending on the stacking configuration of the WS2/WSe2 heterobilayer. Further, the valley polarization of the excitonic Mott insulator state is enhanced by nearly one order of magnitude. Our study demonstrates the WS2/WSe2 moiré superlattice as a promising platform for engineering and exploring new correlated states of fermion, bosons, and a mixture of both12 © 2023, CC BY.

The nature of the pseudogap phase of cuprates remains a major puzzle1,2. One of its new signatures is a large negative thermal Hall conductivity Èxy , which appears for dopings p below the pseudogap critical doping p*, but whose origin is as yet unknown3. Because this large Èxy is observed even in the undoped Mott insulator La2CuO4, it cannot come from charge carriers, these being localized at p = 0. Here we show that the thermal Hall conductivity of La2CuO4 is roughly isotropic, being nearly the same for heat transport parallel and normal to the CuO2planes, i.e. kzy(T) . (T). This shows that the Hall response must come from phonons, these being the only heat carriers able to move as easily normal and parallel to the planes4. At p > p*, in both La1.6-xNd0.4SrxCuO4and La1.8-xEu0.2SrxCuO4with p = 0.24, we observe no c-axis Hall signal, i.e. zy(T) = 0, showing that phonons have zero Hall response outside the pseudogap phase. The phonon Hall response appears immediately below p*= 0.23, as confirmed by the large Kzy signal we find in La1.6-xNd0.4SrxCuO4with p = 0.21. The microscopic mechanism by which phonons become chiral in cuprates remains to be identified. This mechanism must be intrinsic-from a coupling of phonons to their electronic environment-rather than extrinsic, from structural defects or impurities, as these are the same on both sides of p*. This intrinsic phonon Hall effect provides a new window on quantum materials5 and it may explain the thermal Hall signal observed in other topologically nontrivial insulators6,7.

Moiré materials host a wealth of intertwined correlated and topological states of matter, all arising from flat electronic bands with nontrivial quantum geometry [1, 2]. A prominent example is the family of alternating-twist magic-angle graphene stacks, which exhibit symmetry-broken states at rational fillings of the moiré band and superconductivity close to half filling [3–7]. Here, we introduce a second family of twisted graphene multilayers made up of twisted sheets of M- and N-layer Bernal-stacked graphene flakes. Calculations indicate that applying an electric displacement field isolates a flat and topological moiré conduction band that is primarily localized to a single graphene sheet below the moiré interface. Phenomenologically, the result is a striking similarity in the hierarchies of symmetry-broken phases across this family of twisted graphene multilayers. Our results show that this family of structures offers promising new opportunities for the discovery of exotic new correlated and topological phenomena, enabled by using the layer number to fine tune the flat moiré band and its screening environment.
