We study the influence of superconductivity on the formation of the localized magnetic moment for a single-level quantum impurity embedded in an s-wave Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconducting medium, modeled by single-impurity Anderson Hamiltonian. We have combined Bogoliubov transformation with Green's function method within self-consistent Hartree-Fock Mean Field approximation to analyze the conditions necessary in metal (in the superconducting) for the formation of the magnetic moment at the impurity site for the low-frequency limit $|\omega|<<\Delta_{sc}$ as well as for the finite superconducting gap $\Delta_{sc}$. We have compared these results with other theoretical results and with the single-level quantum impurity embedded in the normal metallic host. Further we analyze the electronic spectral density of the quantum impurity embedded in superconducting host with the finite superconducting gap to study the sub-gap states as a function of impurity parameters.

The multiplicity of orbitals in quantum systems significantly influences the competition between Kondo screening and local spin magnetization. The identification of orbital-specific processes is essential for advancing spintronic devices, as well as for enhancing the understanding of many-body quantum phenomena, but it remains a great challenge. Here, we use a combination of scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy to investigate single iron phthalocyanine (FePc) molecules on MgO/Ag(100).

Single crystal x-ray diffraction measurements have been carried out on epsilon oxygen up to 30 GPa to examine the behavior of the constituent (O_{2})_{4} units. An isostructural phase transition is evidenced by lattice parameter and intracluster (O_{8}) distance discontinuities and clear changes in the equation of state at 18.1±0.

Chiral phonons, which are characterized by rotational atomic motion, offer a unique mechanism for transferring angular momentum from phonons to electron spins and other angular momentum carriers. In this Letter, we present a theoretical investigation into the emergence of chiral phonons in a chiral hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite (HOIP) and their critical roles in rigid-body rotation, magnetic moment generation, and spin transport under nonthermal equilibrium conditions. We demonstrate that phonon angular momentum can modify the spin chemical potential via a proposed microscopic Barnett effect, leading to a spatially varying spin chemical potential at the metal/HOIP interface, which subsequently induces spin currents in an adjacent Cu layer, with a magnitude consistent with experimental observations.

A series of Cu-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) with asymmetric coordination were designed to accelerate lithium-sulfur (Li-S) chemistry. The electronegativity contrast from the dopant induces a localized electronic asymmetry that amplifies Jahn-Teller distortion at the Cu center. This distortion profoundly modulates the Cu 3d electronic structure and its interaction with Li-S intermediates.

Multifunctional materials that simultaneously possess intrinsic magnetic and superhard properties, particularly those composed of light elements, have a wide range of applications in advanced sensors, shielding, durable devices, and other fields. However, research on the development and understanding of such materials remains limited. In this study, a series of 3D C covalent networks derived from the C fullerene precursor were theoretically designed.
