The transport of energy and information in semiconductors is limited by scattering between
electronic carriers and lattice phonons, resulting in diffusive and lossy transport that curtails …

Superatomic crystals are composed of discrete modular clusters that emulate the role of
atoms in traditional atomic solids. Owing to their unique hierarchical structures, these …

Chevrel ternary superconductors show an intriguing coexistence of molecular aspects, large
electron-phonon and electron-electron correlations, which to some extent still impedes their …

Layered superatomic semiconductors, whose building blocks are atomically precise
molecular clusters, exhibit interesting electronic and vibrational properties. In recent work …

Crystalline solids assembled from superatomic building blocks are attractive functional
materials due to their hierarchical structure, multifunctionality, and tunability. An interesting …

The coupling of phonons to electrons and other phonons plays a defining role in material
properties, such as charge and energy transport, light emission, and superconductivity. In …

Here, we present the phonon calculations for thermodynamic properties, thermal expansion
and lattice thermal conductivity of Fe 2 VAl in the temperature range of $300\text {--} 800\\text …

Many properties of materials are associated with phonons. To better understand the phonon-
property relation, it is a common practice to decompose the phonon-associated property into …

Chevrel-phase superconducting compounds A y Mo6 Q 8 (A= Pb, Mg, etc. and Q= S, Se, Te)
have attracted much attention due to their ultrahigh upper critical magnetic fields (H c2) …

Chevrel non-van der Waals crystals are promising candidates for the fabrication of novel 2D
materials due to their versatile crystal structure formed by covalently bonded (Mo6X8) …
