Transport signatures of temperature-induced chemical potential shift and Lifs...
Temperature-induced Lifshitz transitions have been identified in several materials. Their chemical potential shows a substantial shift with changing temperature. The common... -
Solids that are also liquids: elastic tensors of superionic materials
This work presents an application of the strain-fluctuation method, exploiting the fluctuations of the strain from extensive first-principles molecular dynamics simulations in... -
Understanding the role of Hubbard corrections in the rhombohedral phase of Ba...
We present a first-principles study of the low-temperature rhombohedral phase of BaTiO₃ using Hubbard-corrected density-functional theory. By employing density-functional... -
Ambipolar charge transfer of larger fullerenes enabled by the modulated surfa...
A detailed understanding of how molecules interact with two-dimensional materials, particularly concerning energy level alignment and charge transfer processes, is essential to... -
On-surface interchain coupling and skeletal rearrangement of indenofluorene p...
On-surface synthesis serves as a powerful approach to construct π-conjugated carbon nanostructures that are not accessible by conventional wet chemistry. Nevertheless, this... -
On-surface cyclization of vinyl groups on poly-para-phenylene involving an un...
On-surface synthesis relies on carefully designed molecular precursors that are thermally activated to afford desired, covalently coupled architectures. In a recent publication,... -
Tailoring magnetism of graphene nanoflakes via tip-controlled dehydrogenation
Atomically precise graphene nanoflakes called nanographenes have emerged as a promising platform to realize carbon magnetism. Their ground state spin configuration can be... -
Dramatic acceleration of the Hopf cyclization on gold(111): from enediynes to...
Hopf et al. first reported the high-temperature 6π-electrocyclization of cis-hexa-1,3-diene-5-yne to benzene in 1969. Subsequent studies using this cyclization have been limited... -
Preferential graphitic-nitrogen formation in pyridine-extended graphene nanor...
Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), nanometer-wide strips of graphene, have garnered significant attention due to their tunable electronic and magnetic properties arising from quantum... -
Asymmetric molecular adsorption and regioselective bond cleavage on chiral Pd...
Homogenous enantioselective catalysis is nowadays the cornerstone in the manufacturing of enantiopure substances, but its technological implementation suffers from well-known... -
Spin excitations in nanographene-based antiferromagnetic spin-½ Heisenberg c...
Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains exhibit two distinct types of excitation spectra: gapped for integer-spin chains and gapless for half-integer-spin chains. However, in...
