Article Abstract

We show that topological flat minibands can be engineered in a class of narrow gap semiconductor films using only an external electrostatic superlattice potential. We demonstrate that, for realistic material parameters, these bands are capable of hosting correlated topological phases such as integer and fractional quantum anomalous Hall states and composite Fermi liquid phases at zero magnetic field. Our results provide a path toward the realization of fractionalized topological states in a broad range of materials.

Modulating the electronic structure of catalysts to maximize their power holds the key to address the challenges faced by zinc-iodine batteries (ZIBs), including the shuttle effect and slow redox kinetics at the iodine cathode. Herein, oxygen vacancies is innovatively introduced into CoO lattice to create high-spin-state Co active sites in nonstoichiometric CoO nanocrystals supported by carbon nanofibers (H-CoO/CNFs). This simple strategy intensifies crystal field splitting of Co 3d orbitals, optimizing the spin-orbital coupling between Co 3d orbitals and iodine species.

B,N-substituted graphene ribbons are computationally designed and their spectroscopic properties are systematically explored with wave-function-based electronic structure methods. All B,N-graphene ribbons exhibit exceptionally small S-T energy gaps. The oscillator strength of the S-S transition increases monotonically with the length of the ribbons.

BackgroundDespite a growing interest in household-level agriculture-nutrition linkage, evidence remains thin in countries like Tajikistan, one of the poorest former socialist countries where food crop production decisions by individual farm households had been significantly regulated by the government until recently.ObjectivesWe narrow this knowledge gap by examining the linkages between households' food production practice as well as their productivity performances and dietary diversity scores (DDS) of both the household and individual women in Tajikistan.MethodsWe use a panel sample of households and individual women of reproductive ages in the Khatlon province of Tajikistan, the poorest province and a major agricultural region of the country.

Background: Laryngeal cancer (LC), the second most common head and neck malignancy, with significant global geographical disparities in incidence and mortality, was analyzed using 2021 Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data to assess Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) correlations and project disease burden through 2050, aiming to reduce its global impact.

Methods: Using data from the GBD 2021, we investigated the incidence, prevalence, deaths, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) of LC, as well as trends, age-sex-time patterns, driving factors, and projections up to 2050.

Results: In 2021, LC increased with age and decreased after the age of 70.

Achieving a crack-free, high-surface-area photoanode is essential for maximizing the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). In this work, rutile titanium dioxide (rTiO) nanoflowers were synthesized hydrothermally and then conformally coated with copper(I) oxide (CuO) by RF magnetron sputtering to seal pre-existing cracks and to create a nanothorn surface favorable for dye adsorption. Systematic control of the sputtering time identified 60 min as optimal condition, yielding a photoanode thickness of about 6.
