Electric double layer theory for room temperature ionic liquids on charged electrodes: milestones and prospects
Current Opinion in Electrochemistry. 2022. Vol. 33. Article 100931.
Budkov Y., Kolesnikov A. L.
In this review, we shortly summarize the basic theoretical milestones achieved in the mean-field theory of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) on charged electrodes since the publication of Kornyshev’s seminal paper in 2007. We pay special attention to the behavior of the differential capacitance profile and the microscopic parameters of ions that can have substantial influence on it. Among them are parameters of short-range specific interactions, ionic diameters, static polarizabilities, and permanent dipole moments. We also discuss the recent ”nonlocal” mean-field theories that can describe the overscreening behavior of the local ionic concentrations, as well as the crossover from overscreening to crowding.

In recent years, a number of studies have predicted the emergence of a nontrivial proximity effect in superconductor/antiferromagnet (S/AF) heterostructures. This effect is of considerable interest for the efficient integration of antiferromagnetic materials into the fields of superconducting spintronics and electronics. A key element of this proximity effect is the Néel triplet correlations, initially predicted ...

The miniaturization of superconducting electronics demands precise control over quasiparticle dynamics at the nanoscale. Understanding and controlling quasiparticle dynamics is essential for advancing superconducting electronics, particularly as device dimensions approach the nanoscale. Here we present direct experimental evidence for the quasiparticle-to-supercurrent conversion in planar SN-N-NS Josephson nanobridges with submicron electrodes. By employing a versatile measurement ...

Density functional theory (DFT) is the workhorse of modern reactions and materials modeling. While the exact functional remains unknown, many approximations to it have been constructed either by hand-crafting functional forms to satisfy exact constraints or by machine learning. In this work, we show how both of these approaches can be fused to build both ...

Modification of perovskite-type oxides is an effective way to develop functional materials with advanced properties. The effects of cerium introduction into the A sublattice of La0.5Sr0.5FeO3−δ and variation of La:Sr ratio on the defect structure and charge transfer characteristics were studied in this work. The LaxSr0.85−xCe0.15FeO3−δ oxides were found to be single-phase with cubic (x = 0.1) and orthorhombic ...

We develop a full microscopic theory for the optical conductivity 𝜎(𝜔) of a dirty current-carrying superconductor. Within the Keldysh sigma model formalism, we obtain the general analytical expression for 𝜎(𝜔), applicable for arbitrary frequency 𝜔, temperature 𝑇, and dc supercurrent 𝐼. In addition to altering the usual Mattis-Bardeen conductivity 𝜎1(𝜔), a finite supercurrent introduces two new contributions: 𝜎qp2(𝜔) from quasiparticle redistribution and 𝜎SH2(𝜔) from the amplitude ...

A dissipationless supercurrent state in superconductors can be destroyed by thermal fluctuations. Thermally activated phase slips provide a finite resistance of the sample and are responsible for dark counts in superconducting single-photon detectors. The activation barrier for a phase slip is determined by a space-dependent saddle-point (instanton) configuration of the order parameter. In the one-dimensional ...

The ability to predict transport properties, such as viscosity, through molecular simulation is a valuable advantage. Obtaining reliable estimates for these properties can be more challenging compared to equilibrium properties. Our manuscript focuses on an in-depth discussion of two prominent methods for predicting transport properties: equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) using the Green−Kubo approach and nonequilibrium ...
