Synergistic O2-/Li+ Dual Ion Transportation at Atomic Scale by F. Q. Meng, Q. H. Zhang, A. Gao, X. Z. Liu, J. N. Zhang, S. Y. Peng, X. Lu, L. Gu, H. Li

“…Here we select spinel Li4Ti5O12 as anode and construct an all-solid-state battery under a transmission electron microscope; a synergistic transportation of O2- and Li+ driven by an electrical bias was directly observed at the atomic scale. A small amount of oxygen anions was extracted firstly as a result of its lowest vacancy formation energy under 2.2 V, leading to the vertical displacement of oxygen. …”

Atomic-scale analysis of disorder by similarity learning from tunneling spectroscopy by Petro Maksymovych, Jiaqiang Yan, Brian Sales, Jun Wang

“…Rapid proliferation of hyperspectral imaging in scanning probe microscopy creates unique opportunities to systematically capture and categorize higher dimensional datasets, toward insights into electronic, mechanical, and chemical properties of materials with nano- and atomic-scale resolution. Effective hyperspectral imaging requires a consistent framework for data analysis that would be broadly applicable, reproducible, and transferrable, conceptually resembling the success of integral transforms in image analysis. …”

Atomic-scale manipulation of single-polaron in a two-dimensional semiconductor by Huiru Liu, Aolei Wang, Ping Zhang, Chen Ma, Caiyun Chen, Zijia Liu, Yi-Qi Zhang, Baojie Feng, Peng Cheng, Jin Zhao, Lan Chen, Kehui Wu

“…Abstract Polaron is a composite quasiparticle derived from an excess carrier trapped by local lattice distortion, and it has been studied extensively for decades both theoretically and experimentally. However, atomic-scale creation and manipulation of single-polarons in real space have still not been achieved so far, which precludes the atomistic understanding of the properties of polarons as well as their applications. …”
