Summary: This study proposes a method to quantitatively characterize the phase transition processes of ferroelectric materials using fluorescence wavelength shift, demonstrating exact consistency between changes in fluorescence peak positions and structural phase transitions. The contactless, non-destructive fluorescence method provides localized quantitative analysis for phase transition processes in ferroelectric materials. The method based on fluorescence peak wavelength dependence on crystal environment may potentially be applied to characterize phase transitions in other ferroelectric materials.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of nuclear quantum fluctuations on the properties of dense hydrogen, focusing on its potential metallization. Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron infrared absorption measurements are conducted on deuterium at 460 GPa and 80 K, revealing the isotopic effects on the electronic and vibrational properties in phase III. The findings also suggest a probable transition to metal deuterium, occurring at a shifted pressure compared to hydrogen, and are compared to advanced calculations quantifying the reduction of the band gap caused by nuclear quantum fluctuations.

Summary: Lead zirconate (PbZrO3, PZ) is an important oxide material that can be improved by chemical substitutions and design of more environmentally friendly alternatives. Barium substitution leads to lattice expansion and increased lead displacement, facilitating the formation of stronger lead-oxygen bonds. NMR spectroscopy is a valuable method for studying the effect of barium substitution on the materials.

Summary: At elevated temperatures, Li deintercalated from graphite through reaction with the binder and the formation of a Li-defect stage-1 structure, maintaining the same stage structure. The lattice misfit drastically decreased with increasing temperature, suggesting a solid-state reaction. The kinetics for Li graphite intercalation compounds at elevated temperatures provide insights into the Li intercalation/deintercalation mechanism in graphite electrodes for Li-ion batteries.

Summary: Research on the Verwey transition in magnetite in recent years has shown that it involves not only electronic and structural transitions, but also phenomena such as Fe2+/Fe3+ charge ordering, Fe2+ orbital ordering, and trimeron formation. Additionally, new studies have revealed the effects of doping on the Verwey transition, as well as a new class of binary mixed-valent iron oxides discovered under high pressure conditions.

Summary: New functional materials based on chalcogenides, including metallic compounds SbS and SbS2 obtained through pressure-induced decomposition of Sb2S3, exhibit superconducting behavior at high pressures. The superconducting state in the decomposed sample is confirmed through diffraction data, with SbS identified as the key component responsible for superconductivity. The experimental results show a nearly linear increase in Tc with applied pressure, reaching 6.6 K at 75.0 GPa.

Summary: This study investigates the structural evolution of polymorphic phases in Al2O3-inserted SrMnO3 ceramics, identifying the presence of the 6H-hexagonal SrMnO3 phase and examining the chemical compositions and electronic structures of the compounds. First-principles calculations show no clear difference in total energies between the 4H- and 6H-hexagonal polymorphs, regardless of the presence of Sr and oxygen vacancies. Possible origins are discussed based on refined lattice parameters of the 6H SrMnO3 phase.

Summary: A 3D quantum Hall effect has been observed in the Dirac semimetal ZrTe5 due to a magnetic-field-driven Fermi surface instability. The study shows evidence of quasi-quantized Hall response without Fermi surface instability, attributing it to the interplay between the intrinsic properties of ZrTe5 electronic structure and its Dirac semi-metallic character.

Summary: The symmetry of crystal structure in real space can be maintained in reciprocal space, which is important for the design of thermoelectric materials. Using the relationship between inter- and intra-layer geometric information allows for the comparison of crystal structures with desired symmetry.

Summary: FePS3, a layered magnetic van der Waals compound, exhibits a Mott insulator-metal transition under applied pressure, accompanied by changes in crystal symmetry and magnetic structure. To understand these transitions, it is essential to study the crystal structure as a function of pressure. Through single-crystal and powder x-ray diffraction measurements, we have confirmed that the highest-pressure transition involves a collapse of interplanar spacing and an increase in symmetry from monoclinic to trigonal space group, supporting one model over competing alternatives. Our findings provide crucial insights into the high-pressure behavior of these materials and demonstrate a comprehensive methodology for investigating complex two-dimensional material structures under pressure.

Summary: The lattice volume of ice VIII was measured in different pressure-temperature pathways, and it was found that the volume depends on the pathway, suggesting that deviatoric stress results in a larger volume. Dense ice is in the ice VIII phase with a molar volume of 6.56 cm(3) and in a high-pressure phase with a molar volume of 6.45 cm(3) at 10 K. The pressure can be estimated as 57.0 & PLUSMN; 3.4 and 60.4 & PLUSMN; 3.6 GPa, respectively.
