Effect of Ca doping on Li ion conductivity of Ge and Ta doped garnet LLZO
The series Li6.55+xGe0.05La3-xCaxZr1.75Ta0.25O12 ( x= 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 ) was prepared by conventional solid state reaction method with the sintering temperature of 10500C for 7.30 hr by substituting Ca at the La site to increase the Li ion conductivity. The synergistic effects of Ca incorporation on Li6.55Ge0....

Tensor network influence functionals in the continuous-time limit: connections to quantum embedding, bath discretization, and higher-order time propagation
We describe two developments of tensor network influence functionals (in particular, influence functional matrix product states (IF-MPS)) for quantum impurity dynamics within the fermionic setting of the Anderson impurity model. The first provides the correct extension of the IF-MPS to continuous time by introducing a ...

Image Super-resolution Inspired Electron Density Prediction
Drawing inspiration from the domain of image super-resolution, we view the electron density as a 3D grayscale image and use a convolutional residual network to transform a crude and trivially generated guess of the molecular density into an accurate ground-state quantum mechanical density. We find that this model outpe...

Fast Lithium Ion Diffusion in Brownmillerite $\mathrm{Li}_{x}\mathrm{{Sr}_{2}{Co}_{2}{O}_{5}}$
Ionic conductors have great potential for interesting tunable physical properties via ionic liquid gating and novel energy storage applications such as all-solid-state lithium batteries. In particular, low migration barriers and high hopping attempt frequency are the keys to achieve fast ion diffusion in solids. Taking...

Understanding spin currents from magnon dispersion and polarization: Spin-Seebeck effect and neutron scattering study on Tb3Fe5O12
Magnon spin currents in the ferrimagnetic garnet Tb3Fe5O12 with 4f electrons were examined through the spin-Seebeck effect and neutron scattering measurements. The compound shows a magnetic compensation, where the spin-Seebeck signal reverses above and below Tcomp = 249.5(4) K. Unpolarized neutron scattering unveils tw...

The Soft X-ray Spectrum of Scattering--Dominated AGN
This paper discusses the properties of scattering--dominated active galactic nuclei (AGN). We define these to be AGN for which the direct line-of-sight to the continuum source is obscured by Compton-thick material. The aim is to construct, for the first time, a model consistent with X-ray line luminosities, line ratios...

The effects of relativistic bulk motion of X-ray flares in the corona on the iron Kalpha line in Seyfert 1 galaxies
We study the effects of the bulk motion of X-ray flares on the shape and equivalent width of the iron Kalpha line from an untruncated cold disk around a Kerr black hole using fully relativistic calculations. The flares are located above a cold accretion disk -- either on or off the rotation axis. For on- or off-axis fl...

The XMM-Newton view of Mrk3 and IXO30
We present the analysis of the XMM-Newton EPIC pn spectrum of the Seyfert 2 galaxy, Mrk3. We confirm that the source is dominated by a pure Compton reflection component and an iron K$\alpha$ line, both produced as reflection from a Compton-thick torus, likely responsible also for the large column density which is pierc...

Spin Waves and magnetic exchange interactions in insulating Rb$_{0.89}$Fe$_{1.58}$Se$_2$
The discovery of alkaline iron selenide $A$Fe$_{1.6+x}$Se$_2$ ($A=$ K, Rb, Cs) superconductors has generated considerable excitement in the condensed matter physics community because superconductivity in these materials may have a different origin from the sign reversed s-wave electron pairing mechanism, a leading cand...

A single low-energy, iron-poor supernova as the source of metals in the star SMSS J 031300.36-670839.3
The element abundance ratios of four low-mass stars with extremely low metallicities indicate that the gas out of which the stars formed was enriched in each case by at most a few, and potentially only one low-energy, supernova. Such supernovae yield large quantities of light elements such as carbon but very little iro...

A three-dimensional hydrodynamical line profile analysis of iron lines and barium isotopes in HD140283
Heavy-elements, i.e. those beyond the iron peak, mostly form via two neutron capture processes: the s- and r-process. Metal-poor stars should contain fewer isotopes that form via the s-process, according to currently accepted theory. It has been shown in several investigations that theory and observation do not agree w...

Identification of prototypical Brinkman-Rice Mott physics in a class of iron chalcogenides superconductors
The 122$^{*}$ series of iron-chalcogenide superconductors, for example K$_x$Fe$_{2-y}$Se$_{2}$, only possesses electron Fermi pockets. Their distinctive electronic structure challenges the picture built upon iron pnictide superconductors, where both electron and hole Fermi pockets coexist. However, partly due to the in...

Iron Fluorescent Line Emission from the mCvs and Hard X-ray Emitting Symbiotic Stars as a Source of the Iron Fluorescent Line Emission from the Galactic Ridge
The Galactic Ridge X-ray Emission (GRXE) spectrum has strong iron emission lines at 6.4, 6.7, and 7.0~keV, each corresponding to the neutral (or low-ionized), He-like, and H-like iron ions. The 6.4~keV fluorescence line is due to irradiation of neutral (or low ionized) material (iron) by hard X-ray sources, indicating ...

Broadband X-ray emission and the reality of the broad iron line from the Neutron Star - White Dwarf X-ray binary 4U 1820-30
Broad relativistic iron lines from neutron star X-ray binaries are important probes of the inner accretion disk. The X-ray reflection features can be weakened due to strong magnetic fields or very low iron abundances such as is possible in X-ray binaries with low mass, first generation stars as companions. Here we inve...

Evidence for Two Current Conduction in Iron
Measurements of resistivities of dilute iron based alloys show strong deviations from Matthiessen's rule. These deviations can be explained by a model in which spin up and spin down electrons conduct in parallel. The results are consistent with the theory of impurity shielding in these alloys. [This 1967 paper provides...

Orbital Degeneracy and the Microscopic Model of the FeAs Plane in the Iron-Based Superconductors
A microscopic model for the FeAs plane in the newly discovered Iron-based superconductors is proposed with the emphasis on the role of the orbital degeneracy between the Fe $3d_{xz}$ and $3d_{yz}$ orbital in the crystal field environment. The model predicts commensurate antiferromagnetic ordered ground state for the pa...

Spin-triplet p-wave pairing in a 3-orbital model for iron pnictide superconductors
We examine the possibility that the superconductivity in the newly discovered FeAs materials may be caused by the Coulomb interaction between d-electrons of the iron atoms. We find that when the Hund's rule ferromagnetic interaction is strong enough, the leading pairing instability is in spin-triplet p-wave channel in ...

A single band $t$-$U$-$J_1$-$J_2$ model is proposed as the minimum model to describe the superconductivity of the newly discovered iron-based superconductors $R(O_{1-x}F_x)FeAs$ and $RO_{1-x}FeAs$ ($R=La, Ce, Sm, Pr, Nd,Gd$). With the mean-field approach, it is found that the pairing occurs in the d-wave channel. In th...

Multiple Gaps and Superfluid Density from Interband Pairing in Iron Oxypnictides
We study a four-band model for the iron oxypnictides, in which the superconducting properties are assumed to be determined by the interband coupling between hole-like and electron-like Fermi sheets.

Theory for Superconductivity in Iron Pnictides at Large Coulomb U Limit
Superconductivity in iron pnictides is studied by using a two-orbital Hubbard model in the large U limit. The Coulomb repulsion induces an orbital-dependent pairing between charge carriers. The pairing is found mainly from the scattering within the same Fermi pocket. The inter-pocket pair scatterings determine the symm...

The normal state of the iron arsenides shows the poor metallic behavior mixed with strong magnetic fluctuations. In particular, some FeAs-1111 and FeAs-122 compounds show the linear-T dependence of susceptibility above the spin-density wave (SDW) transition and the logarithmic upturn of resistivity at low temperatures....
