Article Abstract

We provide a novel experimental method to quantitatively estimate the electron-phonon coupling and its momentum dependence from resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra based on the detuning of the incident photon energy away from an absorption resonance. We apply it to the cuprate parent compound NdBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{6} and find that the electronic coupling to the oxygen half-breathing phonon branch is strongest at the Brillouin zone boundary, where it amounts to ∼0.17  eV, in agreement with previous studies. In principle, this method is applicable to any absorption resonance suitable for RIXS measurements and will help to define the contribution of lattice vibrations to the peculiar properties of quantum materials.

The design of carbon allotropes that simultaneously exhibit mechanical robustness and quantum functionalities remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we report a comprehensive first-principles study of cT16, a three-dimensional sp-hybridized carbon network with topologically interlinked graphene-like sheets. The structure features high ideal tensile and shear strengths, with pronounced anisotropy arising from strain-induced bond rehybridization and interlayer slipping mechanisms.

The charge density wave (CDW), a charge ordering phase, offers a valuable framework for exploring electron-electron interactions, electron-phonon coupling, and quantum phase transitions. In CDW materials, carrier density substantially influences the ground state, typically altered through foreign ion doping and investigated at macro- or mesoscopic scales via photoemission or transport techniques. However, atomic-scale visualization, particularly in doped CDW systems without foreign ions, remains rare.

Single-layer FeSe on SrTiO(001) substrates shows a superconducting transition temperature much higher than that of bulk FeSe, which has been attributed to factors such as electron doping, interfacial electron-phonon coupling, and electron correlations. To pinpoint the primary driver, we grew single-layer FeSe films on SrTiO(001) substrates with coexisting TiO and SrO surface terminations. Scanning tunneling spectroscopy revealed a larger superconducting gap (17.

In this work, we performed systematic simulations on the crystal structures and electronic properties of Sc-S crystalline system at a pressure range of 20 to 200 GPa. Our results reveal several stable stoichiometries, such as ScS3, ScS2, Sc2S, and Sc3S. The further electron-phonon simulations indicate that Sc3S exhibits a superconducting critical temperature (Tc) of approximately 25 K at 200 GPa.
