Metastable superconducting-like behavior of rhombohedral Bi samples exposed to surface oxidation under special conditions has been observed below the critical temperature range of 15–35 K. The ac magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistance measurements imply that the superconductivity appears in the Bi/Bi2O3 interfacial layer formed at the surface of the samples.

Hypothesis:Accurate determination of interfacial tension values is crucial for many modeling applications in the oil and gas industry. However, many of the presently used empirical and theoretical models show poor prediction accuracy and do not allow for direct consideration of the concentrations of gases and salts dissolved in the system as well as the specific ...

Accurate prediction of complex formulation viscosity is crucial for the lubricant industry and engineering processes. However, developing generalizable models remains challenging due to the complexity of industrial mixtures and the scarcity of public experimental data, often resulting from corporate proprietary restrictions. This study presents a machine-learning workflow for viscosity estimation from a proprietary pseudonymized dataset, ...

The concept of representative volume (REV, or RVE in material sciences) is the cornerstone of continuum scale models – one needs to get the volume big enough so that it could be represented with an averaged value (scalar, vector or tensorial, etc.). While REV should be established in all larger scale simulations, this is rarely ...

We study the density-matrix kinetics of a charged test particle in two types of Coulomb environment. For a prescribed Gaussian potential, averaging the random-unitary dynamics leads to a Born–Novikov memory equation; Novikov’s identity is exact, but its closure requires a second-order approximation. An equilibrium quantum bath instead yields a Born–Redfield equation with ordered correlators and ...

In this paper, we study a new class of wave solutions to the SU(2) Yang-Mills equations in the
region outside field sources. They represent a significant addition to the wave solutions obtained
in our previous publications describing non-Abelian transverse progressive waves propagating
in the direction of the Cartesian z-axis. In the new paper, wave solutions to the considered
system ...

We study coherent electric manipulation of magnetic field induced localized states at a double kink of a helical edge in a HgTe/CdHgTe quantum well. An in-plane magnetic field opens a gap in the one-dimensional (1D) edge spectrum, while changes in the edge orientation generate localized in-gap states at the kinks. We show that, for suitable ...

We derive the local pressure tensor generated by the original Rosenfeld fundamental measure theory (FMT) for hard-sphere fluids from an arbitrary infinitesimal deformation. The variation of a finite-distance FMT kernel is written via the line integrals of the local deformation gradient along the straight segment connecting its end points. The resulting symmetric pressure tensor consists ...

Задача о возбуждении бегущих фонон-поляритонных волн на поверхности полярного кристалла падающей извне световой волной (с частотой, близкой к частоте решеточных колебаний) решена теоретически только для бесконечной открытой поверхности кристалла. В случаях, когда часть поверхности покрыта металлической маской, препятствующей проникновению возбуждающего излучения к атомам среды, и эта маска имеет произвольную форму, общепризнанного решения неоднородной задачи нет. ...

Heusler alloys of the Ni2MnX family, where X = Ga, In, Sn, …, which have been shown to exhibit

We propose a microscopic scheme that allows to describe ac Josephson effect in superconducting junctions
in terms of dissipative quantum dynamics of subgap Andreev bound states. This approach is particularly useful
for highly transparent junctions at subgap bias voltages in which case a nontrivial combination of Landau-Zener
tunneling between Andreev levels and their instability due to quasiparticle escape ...

Conformational space of polyphenylenevinylene oligomers is systematically investigated computationally at energies relevant for room temperature dynamics in a solvent and in a solid state. Our calculations show that optimal oligomer structures are essentially planar. However, lack of a deep minimum at the planar geometry allows for large molecular deformations even at very low temperatures. At ...

Electron–phonon interaction strongly affects and often limits charge transport in organic semiconductors (OSs). However, approaches to its experimental probing are still in their infancy. In this study, we probe the local electron–phonon interaction (quantified by the charge-transfer reorganization energy) in small-molecule OSs by means of Raman spectroscopy. Applying density functional theory calculations to four series ...

Dynamic disorder manifested in fluctuations of charge transfer integrals considerably hinders charge transport in high-mobility organic semiconductors. Accordingly, strategies for suppression of the dynamic disorder are highly desirable. In this study, we suggest a novel promising strategy for suppression of dynamic disorder—tuning the molecular electrostatic potential. Specifically, we show that the intensities of the low-frequency ...

Dirty superconducting films with magnetic impurities can exhibit nontrivial behavior in a magnetic field that
polarizes the impurity spins. As predicted by Kharitonov and Feigelman (KF) [JETP Lett. 82, 421 (2005)],
this polarization reduces the exchange scattering rate. Consequently, a parallel magnetic field can enhance
the critical temperature Tc when magnetic-field pair breaking is weak, as realized for ...

Boron–carbon clathrates, represented by SrB3C3, are emerging as a promising family of phonon-mediated conventional superconductors with high critical temperatures (Tc) under ambient pressure. Substituting Sr with other metals has been extensively explored to enhance superconductivity; however, the underlying mechanism of the Tc variation remains elusive. We demonstrate a strong non-monotonic increase in Tc upon hole ...

We report a thermally driven structural crossover of vortex matter in a two-dimensional superconducting Penrose quasicrystal. At low temperatures, vortices are pinned by the quasiperiodic lattice, forming an aperiodic pattern. With increasing temperature, vortex-vortex interactions dominate, leading to a conventional triangular Abrikosov lattice. Our findings reveal a tunable interplay between intrinsic pinning and vortex interactions, ...
