The unclear relationship between cuprate superconductivity and the pseudogap state remains an impediment to understanding the high transition temperature (T(c)) superconducting mechanism. Here, we used magnetic field-dependent scanning tunneling microscopy to provide phase-sensitive proof that d-wave superconductivity coexists with the pseudogap on the antinodal Fermi surface of an overdoped cuprate. Furthermore, by tracking the hole-doping (p) dependence of the quasi-particle interference pattern within a single bismuth-based cuprate family, we observed a Fermi surface reconstruction slightly below optimal doping, indicating a zero-field quantum phase transition in notable proximity to the maximum superconducting T(c). Surprisingly, this major reorganization of the system's underlying electronic structure has no effect on the smoothly evolving pseudogap.

Unconventional superconductivity is known for its intertwining with other correlated states, making exploration of the intertwined orders important for understanding its pairing mechanism. In particular, spin and nematic orders are widely observed in iron-based superconductors; however, the presence of charge order is uncommon. Using scanning tunnelling microscopy, and through expanding the phase diagram of iron-arsenide superconductor BaKFeAs to the hole-doping regime beyond KFeAs by surface doping, we demonstrate the formation of a charge density wave (CDW) on the arsenide surface of heavily hole-doped BaKFeAs.

Magnetic Weyl semimetals (WSM) have recently attracted much attention due to their potential in realizing strong anomalous Hall effects. Yet, how to design such systems remains unclear. Based on first-principles calculations, we show here that the ferromagnetic half-metallic compound InCoSehas several pairs of Weyl points and is hence a good candidate for magnetic WSM.

Ammonia has garnered significant attention as a promising hydrogen carrier due to its high volumetric energy density, milder storage conditions, and relatively mature infrastructure. The electrochemical ammonia oxidation reaction (AOR) can facilitate the release of hydrogen from ammonia at the point of use, enabling on-demand hydrogen production without the need for high pressure storage. However, current AOR catalysts exhibit high overpotentials and sluggish kinetics, and they are susceptible to poisoning by AOR byproducts.

This work presents a density functional theory (DFT) study of substitutional and adsorption-based halogen (I or F) doping of WS-based transistors to enhance their contact properties. Substitutional doping of the WS monolayer with halogens results in -type behavior, while halogen adsorption on the surface of the WS monolayer induces -type behavior. This is attributed to differing directions of charge flow, as supported by the Mulliken analysis.
