Article Abstract
Halide perovskites show great optoelectronic performance, but their favorable properties are paired with unusually strong anharmonicity. It was proposed that this combination derives from the ns electron configuration of octahedral cations and associated pseudo-Jahn-Teller effect. We show that such cations are not a prerequisite for the strong anharmonicity and low-energy lattice dynamics encountered in these materials. We combine X-ray diffraction, infrared and Raman spectroscopies, and molecular dynamics to contrast the lattice dynamics of CsSrBr with those of CsPbBr, two compounds that are structurally similar but with the former lacking ns cations with the propensity to form electron lone pairs. We exploit low-frequency diffusive Raman scattering, nominally symmetry-forbidden in the cubic phase, as a fingerprint of anharmonicity and reveal that low-frequency tilting occurs irrespective of octahedral cation electron configuration. This highlights the role of structure in perovskite lattice dynamics, providing design rules for the emerging class of soft perovskite semiconductors.

Quantum simulations of many-body systems are among the most promising applications of quantum computers. In particular, models based on strongly correlated fermions are central to our understanding of quantum chemistry and materials problems, and can lead to exotic, topological phases of matter. However, owing to the non-local nature of fermions, such models are challenging to simulate with qubit devices.

Modelling cardiovascular disease is at the forefront of efforts to use computational tools to assist in the analysis and forecasting of an individual's state of health. To build trust in such tools, it is crucial to understand how different approaches perform when applied to a nominally identical scenario, both singularly and across a population. To examine such differences, we have studied the flow in aneurysms located on the internal carotid artery and middle cerebral artery using the commercial solver Ansys CFX and the open-source code HemeLB.

Simulating large-scale lattice dynamics remains a long-standing challenge in condensed matter and materials science, where mechanical and thermal behaviors arise from coupled vibrational modes. We introduce a quantum algorithm that reformulates general harmonic lattice dynamics as a time-dependent Schrödinger equation governed by a sparse, Hermitian Hamiltonian. This enables the use of Hamiltonian simulation techniques on quantum devices, offering exponential speedup in the number of atoms N.

We investigate nonreciprocal XY (NRXY) models defined on two-dimensional lattices in which the coupling strength of a spin with its neighbors varies with their position in the frame defined by the current spin orientation. As expected from the seminal work of Dadhichi et al., [Nonmutual torques and the unimportance of motility for long-range order in two-dimensional flocks, Phys.

The optoelectronic properties of perovskite/two-dimensional (2D) material van der Waals heterojunctions provide greater potential for innovative neuromorphic devices. However, the traditional growth of heterojunctions still relies on strict lattice matching and high-temperature processes, which hinder high-quality interface construction and efficient carrier transport. Here, the 2D CsPbI/MoS heterojunction is realized via the van der Waals epitaxy process, overcoming lattice matching limitations.
