A computational scheme for the investigation of complex materials with strongly interacting electrons is formulated which is able to treat atomic displacements, and hence structural relaxation, caused by electronic correlations. It combines ab initio band structure and dynamical mean-field theory and is implemented in terms of plane-wave pseudopotentials. The equilibrium Jahn-Teller distortion and antiferro-orbital order found for paramagnetic KCuF3 agree well with experiment.

Through the investigation of spectral characteristics, the evolution of cluster proportions and the cross-relaxation process in Tm:CaF crystals as a function of Tm doping concentration has been clarified. A quantitative model has been established to describe the relationship between these factors. At low concentrations (0.

This paper investigated the optimization of InGaAs/GaAs metamorphic buffer and its application to LPCs (laser power converters). Firstly, InGaAs (18%) metamorphic buffer with step (S), step + overshoot (SO), step + reverse (SR), and step + reverse + overshoot (SRO) structures were investigated by X-ray, AFM and TEM, respectively. Moreover, an InGaAs (24%) SRO buffer structure with a relaxation of 94.

Background: Psychological safety as the key to mental health, not only affects individual happiness and quality of life but also relates to social stability and harmony. However, psychological safety is complex and multidimensional, with unclear internal structures and influencing factors and insufficient research on gender and age differences. Urban residents are living in an environment characterized by fast-paced, high-pressure, multicultural integration, and complex social relationships.

Layered materials, such as tungsten dichalcogenides (TMDs), are being studied for a wide range of applications, due to their unique and varied properties. Specifically, their use as either a support for low dimensional catalysts or as an ultrathin diffusion barrier in semiconductor devices interconnect structures are particularly relevant. In order to fully realise these possible applications for TMDs, understanding the interaction between metals and the monolayer they are deposited on is of utmost importance.
