Article Abstract

Spin-gapless semiconductors (SGSs), as a new class of quantum materials, bridge conventional semiconductors and semi-metallic ferromagnets. Herein, the stability and topological properties of PbPdOwith Bi substituting for Pb are systematically analyzed through first-principles calculations. The results show that Bi substitution for Pb is thermodynamically stable under Pb-poor conditions. Significantly, under the effect of spin-orbit coupling, the doped system demonstrates topological properties via topological order analysis, confirming its status as a topological material. Our results not only clarify the optimal growth conditions and topological nature ofPb0.5Bi0.5PdO2, but also reveal the inherent link between SGSs and non-trivial topological states, thereby offering a theoretical foundation for the design of innovative spintronic devices featuring efficient spin transport and topological protection.

Preparation, Characterization, and Self-Assembly of P3HT-Based Janus Fibers via a Crystallization-Driven Self-Assembly Process.

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-based complex topological copolymers have attracted a great deal of attention for their unique electrical and optical properties. In this contribution, the P3HT-based Janus fibers with controlled lengths were innovatively prepared by sequential crystallization-driven self-assembly (CDSA) of poly(--butylstyrene)--polyisoprene--poly(3-hexylthiophene) (PBS--PI--P3HT) triblock copolymer, cross-linking of the interlayer PI region, and dissociation of fibers in good solvent. The comprehensive characterizations showed that the PBS/P3HT Janus fibers have nearly half the width of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers and fiber lengths close to or slightly shorter than those of PBS--PI--P3HT fibers, indicating that the Janus fibers with adjustable lengths could be prepared in a large window range.

Nanographenes with diverse topological structures have shown enormous potential in fields such as photonics, optoelectronics, and spintronics. This work employs a "from-core-to-branch" strategy to controllably synthesize star-shaped nanographenes with various symmmetries. The obtained star-shaped nanographenes exhibit symmetry-dependent HOMO-LUMO gaps and photoluminescence quantum yields, revealing the importance of precisely controlling the molecular topologies.
