Arsenene nanoribbon edge-resolved strong magnetism by Wang, Sanmei, Zhang, Xi, Huang, Yongli, Sun, Chang Qing

“…Consistency between bond-order-length-strength correlation (BOLS) theory and density functional theory (DFT) calculations verified that: (i) the edge bond contraction of 9.54% deepened the edge potential well of AsNR, (ii) a net charge of 0.06 e- transferred from the inner region to the edge; and (iii) the edge quantum well polarized the unpaired electron and the net spin (antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic depending on the width) is localized at the zigzag edge. …”

Electronic structure of topological quantum materials probed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy by Schröter, N

“…Graphene is predicted to be a quantum spin Hall insulator, but due to the weak spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of carbon, the predicted bulk energy gap at its Dirac point remains unresolved. …”

Discovering and forecasting extreme events via active learning in neural operators by Pickering, Ethan, Guth, Stephen, Karniadakis, George Em, Sapsis, Themistoklis P

Azadihomocorannulene as a heptagon-embedded diradicaloid by Hamamoto, Yosuke, Wang, Weifan, Li, Yongxin, Ito, Shingo

“…The synthesis was achieved through a mechanochemical C(sp2)-H/C(sp3)-H coupling in the presence of sodium as a key reaction. Electron spin resonance studies revealed that the neutral azapentabenzodihomocorannulene adopts a singlet diradical (diradicaloid) ground state with a small singlet-triplet energy gap of 2.1 kcal/mol. …”

Magnetic levitation using neodymium magnets for vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) II by Lai, Chunji

“…This project involved the design and fabrication of a test model vertical axis wind turbine, however as this experiment was carried out indoor without any wind condition, the author used a dc motor to simulate the wind required to spin the turbine. The advantage of this motor allows the author some control over the speed of the turbine. …”
