Carbon materials are of outstanding interest for use in energy sources. One of the latest achievements in improving their specific characteristics is the doping of carbon materials with various heteroatoms. However, the mechanisms that lead to improved performance remain unexplored. In this study, we investigated the influence of structural defects and incorporated heteroatoms on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and carbon nanowalls. Controllable modification in DC plasma in an atmosphere of nitrogen, oxygen and air was used for the incorporation of heteroatoms. We found that treatment in the air atmosphere leads to the formation of most active sites due to incorporation of heteroatoms and partial amorphization of material surface. The DFT calculations reveal these active sites can’t be amplified by substitution to nitrogen atom due to insignificant sorption energy difference of *OOH group compared with undoped carbon. Existed material’s structural defects and appeared after the treatment also make a significant contribution to the obtained ORR characteristics. Plasma-assisted treatment under air conditions can be used for carbon nanomaterials modification for ORR application.

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 ...

Thermoelectric materials, long explored for energy harvesting and thermal sensing, convert heat directly into electrical signals. Extending their application to the terahertz (THz) frequency range opens opportunities for low-noise, bias-free THz detection, yet conventional thermoelectrics lack the sensitivity required for practical devices. Thermoelectric coefficients can be strongly enhanced near van Hove singularities (VHS), though these ...
