Experimental and theoretical studies of fission of doubly-charged Li, Na, and K clusters in the low fissility regime reveal the strong influence of electronic shell effects on the fission products. The electronic entropy controls the quenching of the shell effects and the competition between magic-fragment channels, leading to a transition from favored channels of higher mass symmetry to the asymmetric channel involving the trimer cation at elevated temperatures.

The electronic structure of carbon shells of carbon encapsulated iron nanoparticles carbon encapsulated Fe@C has been studied by X-ray resonant emission and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The recorded spectra have been compared to the density functio
nal calculations of the electronic structure of graphene. It has been shown that an Fe@C carbon shell can be represented in the form of several graphene layers with Stone-Wales defects. The dispersion of energy bands of Fe@C has been examined using the measured C Ka resonant X-ray emission spectra.
We investigated experimentally the high-temperature electrical resistance of graphene interconnects. The test structures were fabricated using the focused ion beam from the single and bi-layer graphene produced by mechanical exfoliation. It was found
that as temperature increases from 300 to 500K the resistance of the single- and bi-layer graphene interconnects drops down by 30% and 70%, respectively. The quenching and temperature dependence of the resistance were explained by the thermal generation of the electron-hole pairs and acoustic phonon scattering. The obtained results are important for the proposed applications of graphene as interconnects in integrated circuits.
The so-called interlayer-sliding ferroelectricity was recently proposed as an unconventional route to pursuit electric polarity in van der Waals multi-layers, which was already experimentally confirmed in WTe$_2$ bilayer even though it is metallic. V
ery recently, another van der Waals system, i.e., the ZrI$_2$ bilayer, was predicted to exhibit the interlayer-sliding ferroelectricity with both in-plane and out-of-plane polarizations [Phys. Rev. B textbf{103}, 165420 (2021)]. Here the ZrI$_2$ bulk is studied, which owns two competitive phases ($alpha$ textit{vs} $beta$), both of which are derived from the common parent $s$-phase. The $beta$-ZrI$_2$ owns a considerable out-of-plane polarization ($0.39$ $mu$C/cm$^2$), while its in-plane component is fully compensated. Their proximate energies provide the opportunity to tune the ground state phase by moderate hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial strain. Furthermore, the negative longitudinal piezoelectricity in $beta$-ZrI$_2$ is dominantly contributed by the enhanced dipole of ZrI$_2$ layers as a unique characteristic of interlayer-sliding ferroelectricity, which is different from many other layered ferroelectrics with negative longitudinal piezoelectricity like CuInP$_2$S$_6$.
Competing interactions produce finite-size textures in myriad condensed matter systems, typically forming elongated stripe or round bubble domains. Transitions between stripe and bubble phases, driven by field or temperature, are expected to be rever
sible in nature. Here we report on the distinct character of the analogous transition for nanoscale spin textures in chiral Co/Pt-based multilayer films, known to host N{e}el skyrmions, using microscopy, magnetometry, and micromagnetic simulations. Upon increasing field, individual stripes fission into multiple skyrmions, and this transition exhibits a macroscopic signature of irreversibility. Crucially, upon field reversal, the skyrmions do not fuse back into stripes, with many skyrmions retaining their morphology down to zero field. Both the macroscopic irreversibility and the microscopic zero-field skyrmion density are governed by the thermodynamic material parameter determining chiral domain stability. These results establish the thermodynamic and microscopic framework underlying ambient skyrmion generation and stability in chiral multilayer films and provide immediate directions for their functionalization in devices.
We unify two prevailing theories of thermal quenching (TQ) in rare-earth-activated inorganic phosphors - the cross-over and auto-ionization mechanisms - into a single predictive model. Crucially, we have developed computable descriptors for activator
environment stability from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations to predict TQ under the cross-over mechanism, which can be augmented by a band gap calculation to account for auto-ionization. The resulting TQ model predicts the experimental TQ in 29 known phosphors to within ~ 3-8%. Finally, we have developed an efficient topological approach to rapidly screen vast chemical spaces for the discovery of novel, thermally robust phosphors.
