Article Abstract
We report a remarkable enhancement of superconductivity near the Anderson metal-insulator transition in the three-dimensional (3D) BCS-superconductor bismuth selenide (BiSe). The SnSe-type orthorhombic BiSe is successfully stabilized upon decompression after this phase is formed at high pressure from the two-dimensional layered BiSe phase and the intrinsic disorder concomitantly approaches the localization threshold near ambient pressure. A dramatic enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature near the localization transition is associated with the sharp increase in the local density of states and significant increase in the background dielectric constant, hence providing a short-ranged Coulomb interaction. This study, for the first time, validates the theoretical formulation for the superconductivity enhancement in a 3D system near localization and demonstrates the novel compression-decompression route to induce high homogeneous disorder.

Optomechanical and electro-optomechanical systems have emerged as one of the most promising approaches for quantum microwave-to-optical transduction to interconnect distributed quantum modalities for scaling the quantum systems. These systems use suspended structures to increase mode overlap and mitigate loss to achieve high efficiency. However, the suspended design's poor heat dissipation under strong drive limits the ultimate efficiency.

The anomalous metal state (AMS), observed in "failed" superconductors, provides insights into superconductivity and quantum criticality, with studies revealing unconventional quantum phases like the Bose metal. Recently, layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) superconductors approaching the two-dimensional limit have garnered significant attention for the enhanced phase fluctuations and electronic correlations. Investigating AMSs in these systems, particularly in the absence of an external magnetic field, could offer valuable insights into the dimensionality-driven emergence of exotic quantum phenomena, including triplet Cooper pairing, phase fluctuation dynamics, and especially the recently discovered field-free superconducting diode effects.

H3S, LaH10, and hydrogen-based compounds have garnered significant interest due to their high-temperature superconducting properties. However, the requirement for extremely high pressures limits their practical applications. In this study, YH4 is adopted as a base material, with partial substitution of yttrium (Y) by scandium (Sc), lanthanum (La), and zirconium (Zr).

The impact of external pressure on the characteristics of SrTeO has been thoroughly examined using density-functional theory calculations up to 100 GPa. It has been predicted that SrTeO undergoes three phase transitions in the pressure range covered by this study. A first transition occurs at 2.

The pyroelectric effect plays a critical role in thermal imaging and energy harvesting. Despite extensive efforts to enhance performance through doping and composite engineering, the mechanisms underlying defect dipole coupling with phase structures remain poorly understood, impeding the advancement of defect-engineered symmetry modulation. Here, we report an abnormal pyroelectric phenomenon where the pyroelectric coefficient () increases notably when poling temperature exceeds the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition temperature () in potassium sodium niobate ceramics.
