Zirconium trihydride and, for comparison, trideuteride with hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metal lattices
were synthesized at a hydrogen/deuterium pressure of 9 GPa and a temperature of 873 K using toroid-type
high-pressure chambers. After a rapid cooling (quenching) to 100 K and lowering the pressure to atmospheric,
the quenched sample was removed from the chamber and studied by hot extraction analysis, powder x-ray
diffraction, and ac magnetic susceptometry. The hot extraction showed that thermal decomposition of both
hcp-ZrH3 and hcp-ZrD3 in vacuum begins after heating at a rate of 10 K/min to ∼200 K and almost ceases
at 270 K, leaving tetragonal ε-ZrH2/ε-ZrD2 as a result. The x-ray diffraction study at 85 K gave lattice
parameters a = 3.443(2)Å and c = 5.964(4)Å for hcp-ZrH3 and somewhat smaller values of a = 3.430(5)Å
and c = 5.947(5)Å for hcp-ZrD3. The measurements of magnetic susceptibility revealed superconductivity with
an onset at 11.6(1) K for hcp-ZrH3 and 9.5(2) K for hcp-ZrD3.

During magnetospheric perturbations a relatively thin current sheet with thickness about several
proton gyroradii forms in the Earth’s magnetotail. In a framework of the kinetic model describing current
sheet thinning in the magnetotail, the processes of its formation are investigated depending on the normal
magnetic field magnitude which affects both the current sheet structure and particle dynamics within ...

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

A model of the cathode layer of a glow gas discharge with a thin dielectric film on a fraction of the
cathode’s working surface is formulated. It is shown that a glow discharge most rapidly transits to an arc discharge,
accompanied by a significant increase in discharge current density and a decrease in cathode voltage
drop, if the ...

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

We investigate the spatial overlap of successive spin configurations in Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations using the local Metropolis algorithm and the Svendsen-Wang and Wolff cluster algorithms. We examine the dynamics of these algorithms for two models in different universality classes: the Ising model and the Potts model with three components. The overlap of two ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

Diamonds with impurity-vacancy centers are an attractive material for microphotonics and can be used, for example, as single photon emitters. Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) with intrinsic single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are cheap and suitable for mass production. This paper proposes a way to overcome the two main properties of the DNDs: the tendency to agglomeration and ...

The magnetoresistance of superconductor–topological insulator–superconductor structures, with indium as the superconductor and TaSe3 as the topological insulator, shows steplike features on the resistance under magnetic fields. These resistance steps result from the suppression of superconductivity, induced by the superconducting proximity effect in both the bulk and surface states of the topological insulator. The position and ...

Majorana zero modes (MZMs) localized in vortex cores of topological superconductors are widely regarded promising building blocks for fault-tolerant quantum computation. However, their unambiguous detection is hindered by the extremely small energy spacing separating them from conventional Caroli-de Gennes-Matricon states. Using a microscopic Bogoliubov-de Gennes approach, we demonstrate that nonmagnetic impurities, rather than suppressing, can ...

We review five years of experimental and theoretical attempts (2020–2025) to enhance the superconducting critical temperature (Tc) of hydrogen-rich compounds by alloying binary superhydrides with additional elements. Despite predictions of higher Tc in ternary systems such as La–Y–H, La–Ce–H, and Ca–Mg–H, experiments consistently show that the maximum Tc in disordered ternary superhydrides does not exceed that of the ...
