DORI Reveals the Influence of Noncovalent Interactions on Covalent Bonding Patterns in Molecular Crystals Under Pressure

Laurent Alexis Clément Vannay, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Berend Smit, Senja Dominique Barthel, Amber Kashan Mace, Benjamin André René Meyer

The study of organic molecular crystals under high pressure provides fundamental insight into crystal packing distortions and reveals mechanisms of phase transitions and the crystallization of polymorphs. These solid-state transformations can be monitored ...

Large-Scale Computational Screening of Molecular Organic Semiconductors Using Crystal Structure Prediction

Michele Ceriotti, Sandip De

Predictive computational methods have the potential to significantly accelerate the discovery of new materials with targeted properties by guiding the choice of candidate materials for synthesis. Recently, a planar pyrrole-based azaphenacene molecule (pyri ...

Assessing the Effect of Calcite Impurities in Clay on Optimal Dehydroxylation Parameters for Enhanced Reactivity

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva

This study focused on understanding the influence of different amounts of calcite impurities (0 to 10% by mass) on the optimal parameters for clay dehydroxylation and the reactivity of the final calcined clay. A surface response experimental design was use ...

First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Giorgia Fugallo, Lorenzo Paulatto, Davide Campi

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

Dimensional Crossover in a Charge Density Wave Material Probed by Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy

Christophe Berthod, Helmuth Berger, Matthias Wolf

High-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy data reveal evidence of a crossover from one-dimensional (1D) to three-dimensional (3D) behavior in the prototypical charge density wave (CDW) material NbSe3. In the low-temperature 3D regime, gaps ...

Lattice Distortions Drive Electron-Hole Correlation within Micrometer-Size Lead-Iodide Perovskite Crystals

Giulia Grancini

We use ultrafast transient absorption microscopy to map the effect of structural disorder on the photophysical properties within a micrometer-sized crystal of methylammonium lead iodide (CH3NH3PbI3) perovskite. We reveal a spatial inhomogeneity of the stru ...

Band structure diagram paths based on crystallography

Giovanni Pizzi

Systematic and automatic calculations of the electronic band structure are a crucial component of computationally-driven high-throughput materials screening. An algorithm, for any crystal, to derive a unique description of the crystal structure together wi ...

Scaling for hard-sphere colloidal glasses near jamming

Eric DeGiuli

Hard-sphere colloids are model systems in which to study the glass transition and universal properties of amorphous solids. Using covariance matrix analysis to determine the vibrational modes, we experimentally measure here the scaling behavior of the dens ...
