Toward 1D Transport in 3D Materials: SOC-Induced Charge-Transport Anisotropy in SmZrBi.

1D charge transport offers great insight into strongly correlated physics, such as Luttinger liquids, electronic instabilities, and superconductivity. Although 1D charge transport is observed in nanomaterials and quantum wires, examples in bulk crystalline solids remain elusive. In this work, it is demonstrated that spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can act as a mechanism to induce quasi-1D charge transport in the LnMPn (Ln = lanthanide; M = transition metal; Pn = Pnictide) family.

Colossal magnetoresistance in the multiple wave vector charge density wave regime of an antiferromagnetic Dirac semimetal.

Colossal negative magnetoresistance is a well-known phenomenon, notably observed in hole-doped ferromagnetic manganites. It remains a major research topic due to its potential in technological applications. In contrast, topological semimetals show large but positive magnetoresistance, originated from the high-mobility charge carriers.

Fibrinogen in Hamster Cauda Sperm.

Epididymis plays a vital role in promoting sperm maturation and maintaining sperm viability. It has been shown the presence of nonviable sperm in cauda epididymis. We previously identified a secretory protein (260/280KDa oligomers) of hamster cauda epididymal principal cells that binds to nonviable sperm.

Fibrinogen-Related Protein, Fgl2, of Hamster Cauda Epididymal Fluid: Enzymatic Characterization, and Identification of Fgl2-Binding Proteins and Ligand of Defective Hamster Sperm Organelles.

The luminal environment of the mammalian epididymidis performs a dual function; sperm maturation and maintaining sperm viability. We previously identified a secretory protein (260/280KDa oligomers) of hamster cauda epididymal principal cells that binds to nonviable sperm. The 260/280KDa oligomers are composed of 64kDa FGL2 (fibrinogen-like protein-2) and 33kDa FGL1) (fibrinogen-like protein-1).

Evolving Devil's Staircase Magnetization from Tunable Charge Density Waves in Nonsymmorphic Dirac Semimetals.

While several magnetic topological semimetals have been discovered in recent years, their band structures are far from ideal, often obscured by trivial bands at the Fermi energy. Square-net materials with clean, linearly dispersing bands show potential to circumvent this issue. CeSbTe, a square-net material, features multiple magnetic-field-controllable topological phases.
