Summary: A systematic investigation was conducted on the magnetic, electrical resistivity, and magnetoresistance properties of the glassy compound (Dy0.6Gd0.4)(5)Pd-2. The compound was found to exhibit a double-glass transition nature. The electrical resistivity showed metallic behavior above 170 K and non-metallic behavior below 170 K due to the presence of an inhomogeneous electronic state at low temperatures. The isothermal magnetoresistance curves exhibited a negative effect, which can be attributed to a spatially complex inhomogeneous state.

Summary: The electronic transport and magnetic properties of bulk and rapid melt quenched samples of the Mn3Al Heusler alloy were investigated. A correlation between the magnetic and structural states was established. The results indicate a frustrated antiferromagnetic state for the cast sample and a ferrimagnetic state with a moment close to compensation for the rapid melt quenched sample. The measurements of electrical resistivity and the Hall effect also support the implementation of these magnetic states.

Summary: The effects of (Ho, Nb) co-doping on the electrical, luminescent properties and electronic structure of Bi0.5(Na0.82K0.18)0.5Ti1-x(Ho0.5Nb0.5)xO3 ceramics were investigated. The doping of (Ho, Nb) destroyed the long-range ferroelectricity of the ceramics and resulted in a transition from ferroelectric phase to relaxor ferroelectric phase. When the doping concentration was x = 0.020, the maximum unipolar strain of 0.32% was obtained. Under excitation at 453 nm, a strong green emission peak at 550 nm and a weak red emission at 658 nm were observed. The luminous intensity increased and then decreased as the doping amount increased.

Summary: The study of 1T-TaS2 under high pressure revealed a re-enhanced superconductivity phenomenon associated with strong electron-phonon coupling in the I4/mmm nonlayered structure. The pressure-induced transition to a nonlayered structure at high pressures led to an increase in superconducting critical temperature, reaching around 7 K, showcasing superior superconductivity compared to the original layered structure. This unexpected discovery expands the field of pressure-modified superconductivity by transitioning from a superconductor with a complicated electron-pairing mechanism to a phonon-mediated superconductor.

Summary: The study demonstrates a route to realizing fragile 2D quantum states through endotaxial polytype engineering of van der Waals materials, isolating 2D charge density waves and restoring mirror symmetries via interlayer CDW twinning. The newly reported twinned-commensurate charge density wave (tC-CDW) shows a single metal-insulator phase transition at around 350 K and can be mapped using in-situ transmission electron microscopy and nanobeam diffraction. This work introduces a novel approach to access latent 2D ground states distinct from conventional methods.

Summary: The realization of Kondo lattice in superconducting van der Waals materials allows for the tuning of its behavior by electrical gating or intercalation and contributes to understanding heavy fermion superconductivity. This study focuses on a superconducting compound (4Hb-TaS2) with alternating stacking of 1T-TaS2 and 1H-TaS2 layers, using low-temperature vector-magnetic-field scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy. Quasi-two-dimensional superconductivity is observed in the 1H-TaS2 layer with anisotropic response to magnetic fields. The Kondo resonance peak resulting from the Kondo screening of unpaired electrons in the Star-of-David clusters is detected in the 1T-TaS2 layer. The intensity of the Kondo resonance peak is found to be sensitive to its relative position with the Fermi level and can be enhanced by evaporating Pb atoms onto the 1T-TaS2 surface. These findings contribute to a better understanding of the electronic properties of 4Hb-TaS2 and offer a pathway to creating tunable Kondo lattice in superconducting van der Waals materials.

Summary: This study investigates the origin of charge density wave (CDW) in rare-earth tritelluride LaTe3 and the strain tuning effect on CDW in monolayer LaTe3 using first-principles calculations. The results reveal that CDW in LaTe3 is originated from momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling (EPC), rather than Fermi-surface nesting. Tensile strain enhances CDW order, while compressive strain inhibits CDW order.

Analysis of the quantum oscillations reveals the presence of three bands hosting a nontrivial Berry phase, which is supported by first-principles calculations. Our work provides a platform for exploring topological materials in indium-rich transition metal compounds.

Summary: In this study, we demonstrate the realization of a spin-neutral tunneling anomalous Hall effect (TAHE) in an antiferromagnetic (AFM) tunnel junction driven by spin-neutral currents. We show that the symmetry mismatch between the AFM electrode and the nonmagnetic barrier with strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) results in spin-dependent momentum filtering, generating transverse Hall currents in each electrode. This finding opens up new possibilities for research in magnetoelectronics and spintronics.

Summary: The origin of the charge density wave (CDW) order and the superconducting properties of CsV3Sb5 under pressure are studied using first-principles calculations. The momentum-dependent electron-phonon coupling effect is found to play an important role in the formation of CDW order, and the experimentally observed double superconducting domes can be explained by the movement of the van Hove singularity and the redistribution of the electron-phonon coupling. The main contribution to the electron-phonon coupling shifts from in-plane vibrational modes to out-of-plane modes with increasing pressure.

Summary: This work investigates the formation of adjoining twin pairs (ATPs) at grain boundaries (GBs) in hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals, focusing on the co-nucleation (CN) of pairs of deformation twins. A continuum defect mechanics model is proposed to study the energetic feasibility of CN of ATPs resulting from GB dislocation dissociation. The model reveals that CN is preferred over the nucleation of a single twin variant for low misorientation angle GBs. Further analysis considering GB character and twin system alignment suggests that CN events could be responsible for ATP formation even at low m' values.

Summary: This study investigates the behavior of electric-field induced antiferroelectric to ferroelectric (AFE-FE) phase transition and reveals the evolution of atomic displacement ordering as the cause for the transition behavior changing from sharp to diffuse. The novel semi-ordered configuration results from the competing interaction between long-range displacement modulation and compositional inhomogeneity, which leads to a diffuse AFE-FE transition while maintaining the switching field.

Summary: In this work, a physics-constrained neural network is used to predict grain-level responses in FCC material by incorporating crystal plasticity theory. The key feature, shear strain rate of slip system, is identified based on crystal plasticity and incorporated into the loss function as physical constitutive equations. The introduction of physics constraints accelerates the convergence of the neural network model and improves prediction accuracy, especially for small-scale datasets. Transfer learning is performed to capture complex in-plane deformation of crystals with any initial orientations, including cyclic loading and arbitrary non-monotonic loading.

Summary: This study attempts to address the gap in cooling rates between thin film deposition and bulk metallic glass (BMG) casting by correlating the glass-forming range (GFR) determined from combinatorial materials chips (CMCs) with the glass-forming ability (GFA) of BMG. The results show that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) is a good indicator of BMG GFA, and strong positive correlations between FWHM and the critical casting diameter (Dmax) are observed in various BMG systems. Furthermore, the Pearson correlation coefficients suggest possible similarities in the GFA natures of certain BMG pairs.
