Abstract ) chemical space is underexplored due to the immense number of possible compositions. To expand the number of computed$${A}_{x}{A}_{1-x}^{\text{'}}{B}_{y}{B}_{1-y}^{\text{'}}{O}_{3}$$ compounds we report a dataset of 66,516 theoretical multinary oxides, 59,708 of which are perovskites. First, 69,407$${A}_{x}{A}_{1-x}^{{\prime} }{B}_{y}{B}_{1-y}^{{\prime} }{O}_{3}$$ compositions were generated in the$${A}_{0.5}{A}_{0.5}^{{\prime} }{B}_{0.5}{B}_{0.5}^{{\prime} }{O}_{3}$$ a −b +a − Glazer tilting mode using the computationally-inexpensive Structure Prediction and Diagnostic Software (SPuDS) program. Next, we optimized these structures with density functional theory (DFT) using parameters compatible with the Materials Project (MP) database. Our dataset contains these optimized structures and their formation (ΔH f ) and decomposition enthalpies (ΔH d ) computed relative to MP tabulated elemental references and competing phases, respectively. This dataset can be mined, used to train machine learning models, and rapidly and systematically expanded by optimizing more SPuDS-generated perovskite structures using MP-compatible DFT calculations.$${A}_{0.5}{A}_{0.5}^{{\prime} }{B}_{0.5}{B}_{0.5}^{{\prime} }{O}_{3}$$ -
Abstract The shape of 3
d -orbitals often governs the electronic and magnetic properties of correlated transition metal oxides. In the superconducting cuprates, the planar confinement of the orbital dictates the two-dimensional nature of the unconventional superconductivity and a competing charge order. Achieving orbital-specific control of the electronic structure to allow coupling pathways across adjacent planes would enable direct assessment of the role of dimensionality in the intertwined orders. Using Cu$${d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$$ L 3and PrM 5resonant x-ray scattering and first-principles calculations, we report a highly correlated three-dimensional charge order in Pr-substituted YBa2Cu3O7, where the Prf -electrons create a direct orbital bridge between CuO2planes. With this we demonstrate that interplanar orbital engineering can be used to surgically control electronic phases in correlated oxides and other layered materials. -
Abstract A classical parking function of length
n is a list of positive integers whose nondecreasing rearrangement$$(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n)$$ satisfies$$b_1 \le b_2 \le \cdots \le b_n$$ . The convex hull of all parking functions of length$$b_i \le i$$ n is ann -dimensional polytope in , which we refer to as the classical parking function polytope. Its geometric properties have been explored in Amanbayeva and Wang (Enumer Combin Appl 2(2):Paper No. S2R10, 10, 2022) in response to a question posed by Stanley (Amer Math Mon 127(6):563–571, 2020). We generalize this family of polytopes by studying the geometric properties of the convex hull of$${\mathbb {R}}^n$$ -parking functions for$${\textbf{x}}$$ , which we refer to as$${\textbf{x}}=(a,b,\dots ,b)$$ -parking function polytopes. We explore connections between these$${\textbf{x}}$$ -parking function polytopes, the Pitman–Stanley polytope, and the partial permutahedra of Heuer and Striker (SIAM J Discrete Math 36(4):2863–2888, 2022). In particular, we establish a closed-form expression for the volume of$${\textbf{x}}$$ -parking function polytopes. This allows us to answer a conjecture of Behrend et al. (2022) and also obtain a new closed-form expression for the volume of the convex hull of classical parking functions as a corollary.$${\textbf{x}}$$ -
Abstract A study of possible superconducting phases of graphene has been constructed in detail. A realistic tight binding model, fit to ab initio calculations, accounts for the Li-decoration of graphene with broken lattice symmetry, and includes
s andd symmetry Bloch character that influences the gap symmetries that can arise. The resulting seven hybridized Li-C orbitals that support nine possible bond pairing amplitudes. The gap equation is solved for all possible gap symmetries. One band is weakly dispersive near the Fermi energy along Γ →M where its Bloch wave function has linear combination of and$${d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$$ d xy character, and is responsible for and$${d}_{{x}^{2}-{y}^{2}}$$ d xy pairing with lowest pairing energy in our model. These symmetries almost preserve properties from a two band model of pristine graphene. Another part of this band, alongK → Γ, is nearly degenerate with uppers band that favors extendeds wave pairing which is not found in two band model. Upon electron doping to a critical chemical potentialμ 1 = 0.22eV the pairing potential decreases, then increases until a second critical valueμ 2 = 1.3 eV at which a phase transition to a distorteds -wave occurs. The distortion ofd - or s-wave phases are a consequence of decoration which is not appear in two band pristine model. In the pristine graphene these phases convert to usuald -wave or extendeds -wave pairing. -
Abstract A search for pair-produced vector-like quarks using events with exactly one lepton (
e or ), at least four jets including at least one$$\mu $$ b -tagged jet, and large missing transverse momentum is presented. Data from proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13$$\sqrt{s}=$$ , recorded by the ATLAS detector at the LHC from 2015 to 2018 and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb$$\text {TeV}$$ , are analysed. Vector-like partners$$^{-1}$$ T andB of the top and bottom quarks are considered, as is a vector-likeX with charge , assuming their decay into a$$+5/3$$ W ,Z , or Higgs boson and a third-generation quark. No significant deviations from the Standard Model expectation are observed. Upper limits on the production cross-section ofT andB quark pairs as a function of their mass are derived for various decay branching ratio scenarios. The strongest lower limits on the masses are 1.59 assuming mass-degenerate vector-like quarks and branching ratios corresponding to the weak-isospin doublet model, and 1.47$$\text {TeV}$$ (1.46$$\text {TeV}$$ ) for exclusive$$\text {TeV}$$ ($$T \rightarrow Zt$$ ) decays. In addition, lower limits on the$$B/X \rightarrow Wt$$ T andB quark masses are derived for all possible branching ratios.
