Doped semiconductors can exhibit metallic-like properties ranging from superconductivity to tunable localized surface plasmon resonances. Diamond is a wide-bandgap semiconductor that is rendered electronically active by incorporating a hole dopant, boron. While the effects of boron doping on the electronic band structure of diamond are well-studied, any link between charge carriers and plasmons has never been shown.

High-precision molecular manipulation techniques are used to control the distance between radical molecules on superconductors. Our results show that the molecules can host single electrons with a spin 1/2. By changing the distance between tip and sample, a quantum phase transition from the singlet to doublet ground state can be induced.

Layered Nickelates have gained intensive attention as potential high-temperature superconductors, showing similarities and subtle differences to well-known Cuprates. This study introduces a modelling framework to analyze the tunability of electronic structures by focusing on effective orbitals and additional Fermi pockets, mimicking doping or external pressure qualitatively. It investigates the role of the $3d_{z^2}$ orbital in interlayer hybridization, which leads to the formation of a second pocket in the Fermi surface.

Background: Sodium vanadium fluorophosphate is a sodium ion superconductor material with high sodium ion mobility and excellent cyclic stability, making it a promising cathode material for sodium-ion batteries. However, most of the literature and patents report preparation through traditional methods, which involve complex processes, large particle sizes, and low electronic conductivity, thereby limiting development progress.
Objective: Aiming at the limitation of high cost and poor performance of vanadium sodium fluorophosphate cathode material, the low temperature and high-efficiency nano preparation technology was developed.
