This manuscript explores recent advancements in solid-state sodium-based battery technology, particularly focusing on electrochemical performance and the challenges associated with developing efficient solid electrolytes. The replacement of conventional liquid electrolytes with solid-state alternatives offers numerous benefits, including enhanced safety and environmental sustainability, as solid-state systems reduce flammability and harsh chemical handling. The work emphasizes the importance of structure and interface characteristics in solid electrolytes, which play a critical role in ionic conductivity and overall battery performance. Various classes of solid electrolytes, such as sodium-based anti-perovskites and sulphide electrolytes, are examined, highlighting their unique ionic transport mechanisms and mechanical properties that facilitate stable cycling. The manuscript also discusses strategies to enhance interfacial stability between the anode and the solid electrolyte to mitigate performance degradation during battery operation. Furthermore, advancements in electrode formulations and the integration of novel materials are considered pivotal in optimizing the charging and d

For a charged particle in a homogeneous magnetic field, we construct stationary squeezed states which are eigenfunctions of the Hamiltonian and the non-Hermitian operator $\hat{X}_Φ = \hat{X} \cos Φ+ \hat{Y} \sin Φ$, $\hat{X}$ and $\hat{Y}$ being the coordinates of the Larmor circle center and $Φ$ is a complex parameter. In the family of the squeezed states, the quantum uncertainty in the Larmor circle position is minimal. The wave functions of the squeezed states in the coordinate representation are found and their properties are discussed. Also, for arbitrary gauge of the vector potential we derive the symmetry operators of translations and rotations.

The participation of oxygen or other anionic species in redox activities in cathode materials for lithium and sodium-ion battery systems is known to play a role in governing the useful capacity of these batteries. Directly probing anionic redox mechanisms is not possible, rather the computational analysis by density functional theory poses the main approach towards gleaning insights into anionic redox activity and harnessing these effects to maximize capacity in future electrode materials. Here we showcase material systems exhibiting this mechanism of ion insertion and removal, and present the key computational considerations in studying anionic redox activities in battery materials. Aided by new computationally derived understandings of the role of anionic redox in emerging battery materials, increasingly greater levels of useable capacities can be extracted through informed materials design.

The article comprises structural, microstructural, and physical properties analysis of Bi2Se3-xTex (x= 0, 1, 2 and 3) mixed topological insulator (MTI) single crystals. All the crystals were grown through a well-optimized solid-state reaction route via the self-flux method. These MTI are well characterized through XRD (X-ray Diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDAX (Energy Dispersive spectroscopy), and thereby, the physical properties are analyzed through the RT (Resistance vs temperature) down to 10K as well as the magneto-resistance (MR) measurements (at 5K) in a magnetic field of up to 10 Tesla. The MR drastically varies from x=0 to x=3 in MTI, from a huge 400 percent, it goes down to 20 percent and 5 percent and eventually back to 315 percent. This fascinated behaviour of MR is explained in this article through HLN (Hikami-Larkin-Nagaoka) equation and an additional term. This article not only proposed the mesmerizing behavior of MR in MTI but also explains the reason through competing WAL (Weak Anti-Localization) and WL (Weak Localization) conduction processes.

Solid state battery technology is motivated by the desire to deliver flexible power storage in a safe and efficient manner. The increasingly widespread use of batteries from mass-production facilities highlights the need for a rapid and sensitive diagnostic for identifying battery defects. We demonstrate the use of atomic magnetometry to measure the magnetic fields around miniature solid-state battery cells. These fields encode information about battery manufacturing defects, state of charge, impurities, or can provide important insights into ageing processes. Compared with SQUID-based magnetometry, the availability of atomic magnetometers, however, highlights the possibility for a low-cost, portable, and flexible implementation of battery quality-control and characterization technology.

Several active areas of research in novel energy storage technologies, including three-dimensional solid state batteries and passivation coatings for reactive battery electrode components, require conformal solid state electrolytes. We describe an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for a member of the lithium phosphorus oxynitride (LiPON) family, which is employed as a thin film lithium-conducting solid electrolyte. The reaction between lithium tert-butoxide (LiO$^t$Bu) and diethyl phosphoramidate (DEPA) produces conformal, ionically conductive thin films with a stoichiometry close to Li$_2$PO$_2$N between 250 and 300$^\circ$C. The P/N ratio of the films is always 1, indicative of a particular polymorph of LiPON which closely resembles a polyphosphazene. Films grown at 300$^\circ$C have an ionic conductivity of $6.51\:(\pm0.36)\times10^{-7}$ S/cm at 35$^\circ$C, and are functionally electrochemically stable in the window from 0 to 5.3V vs. Li/Li$^+$. We demonstrate the viability of the ALD-grown electrolyte by integrating it into full solid state batteries, including thin film devices using LiCoO$_2$ as the cathode and Si as the anode operating at up to 1 mA/cm$^2$. The high qua

The SoLid experiment, short for Search for Oscillations with a Lithium-6 detector, is a new generation neutrino experiment which tries to address the key challenges for high precision reactor neutrino measurements at very short distances from a reactor core and with little or no overburden. The primary goal of the SoLid experiment is to perform a precise measurement of the electron antineutrino energy spectrum and flux and to search for very short distance neutrino oscillations as a probe of eV-scale sterile neutrinos. This paper describes the SoLid detection principle, the mechanical design and the construction of the detector. It then reports on the installation and commissioning on site near the BR2 reactor, Belgium, and finally highlights its performance in terms of detector response and calibration.

The recent realization of twisted, two-dimensional, bilayers exhibiting strongly correlated states has created a platform in which the relation between the properties of the electronic bands and the nature of the correlated states can be studied in unprecedented ways. The reason is that these systems allow extraordinary control of the electronic bands' properties, for example by varying the relative twist angle between the layers forming the system. In particular, in twisted bilayers the low energy bands can be tuned to be very flat and with a nontrivial quantum metric. This allows the quantitative and experimental exploration of the relation between the metric of Bloch quantum states and the properties of correlated states. In this work we first review the general connection between quantum metric and the properties of correlated states that break a continuous symmetry. We then discuss the specific case when the correlated state is a superfluid and show how the quantum metric is related to the superfluid stiffness. To exemplify such relation we show results for the case of superconductivity in magic angle twisted bilayer graphene. We conclude by discussing possible research direct

There has been significant recent interest in layered solid-state materials containing an [M2O] square lattice layer (M = transition metal), particularly because [M2O] is the anti-type of the [CuO2] planes in the layered cuprate superconductors. In addition to the superconducting titanium oxypnictides, the [M2O] anti-cuprate layer also occurs in a wide range of layered oxychalcogenide compounds with M spanning early (Ti, V) to later transition metals (Mn, Co, Fe). The chalcogenide in question - which sandwiches the anti-cuprate layer - may be S, Se or Te, and in combination with a wide range of intervening "spacer" layers, many different structural families have been investigated. This review surveys the structures and physical properties of all these oxychalcogenide materials and relates these properties to their common anti-cuprate square lattice [M2O] layer. It is organised around the different oxidation states of the metal ion M, in order to explore the effects of the electronic configuration of M on the physical properties of each compound as a whole. A key part of the review highlights the use of soft-chemical modifications to alter physical properties of these materials, in

Accurately predicting aging of lithium-ion batteries would help to prolong their lifespan, but remains a challenge owing to the complexity and interrelation of different aging mechanisms. As a result, aging prediction often relies on empirical or data-driven approaches, which obtain their performance from analyzing large datasets. However, these datasets are expensive to generate and the models are agnostic of the underlying physics and thus difficult to extrapolate to new conditions. In this article, a physical model is used to predict capacity fade caused by solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) growth in 62 automotive cells, aged with 28 different protocols. Three protocols parametrize the time, current and temperature dependence of the model, the state of charge dependence results from the anode's open circuit voltage curve. The model validation with the remaining 25 protocols shows a high predictivity with a root-mean squared error of $1.28\%$. A case study with the so-validated model shows that the operating window, i.e. maximum and minimum state of charge, has the largest impact on SEI growth, while the influence of the applied current is almost negligible. Thereby the presente

On the way to solid-state quantum computing, overcoming decoherence is the central issue. In this contribution, we discuss the modeling of decoherence of a superonducting flux qubit coupled to dissipative electronic circuitry. We discuss its impact on single qubit decoherence rates and on the performance of two-qubit gates. These results can be used for designing decoherence-optimal setups.

Proposals for solid state quantum computing are extremely promising as they can be used to built room temperature quantum computers. If such a quantum computer is ever built it would require in-built sources of nonclassical states required for various quantum information processing tasks. Possibilities of generation of such nonclassical states are investigated here for a physical system composed of a monochromatic light coupled to a two-band semiconductor with direct band gap. The model Hamiltonian includes both photon-exciton and exciton-exciton interactions. Time evolution of the relevant bosonic operators are obtained analytically by using a perturbative technique that provides operator solution for the coupled Heisenberg's equations of motion corresponding to the system Hamiltonian. The bosonic operators are subsequently used to study the possibilities of observing single and two mode squeezing and antibunching after interaction in the relevant modes of light and semiconductor. Further, entanglement between the exciton and photon modes is reported. Finally, the nonclassical effects have been studied numerically for the open quantum system scenario. In this situation, the nonloc

All solid state batteries are claimed to be the next-generation battery system, in view of their safety accompanied by high energy densities. A new advanced, multiscale compatible, and fully three dimensional model for solid electrolytes is presented in this note. The response of the electrolyte is profoundly studied theoretically and numerically, analyzing the equilibrium and steady state behaviors, the limiting factors, as well as the most relevant constitutive parameters according to the sensitivity analysis of the model.

Effective thermal management is critical for lithium-ion battery packs' safe and efficient operations, particularly in applications such as drones, where compact designs and varying airflow conditions present unique challenges. This study investigates the thermal performance of a 16-cell lithium-ion battery pack by optimizing cooling airflow configurations and integrating phase change materials (PCMs) for enhanced heat dissipation. Seven geometric configurations were evaluated under airflow speeds ranging from 0 to 15 m/s, reflecting the operational conditions of civilian drones. A comprehensive 3D simulation approach was used to analyze the effects of inlet and outlet configurations, airflow dynamics, and PCM phase transition behavior. Results indicate that the trapezoidal (wide-base) configuration, paired with a 5-inlet and 1-outlet setup, achieves the most balanced performance, effectively maintaining optimal operating temperatures across low and high-speed airflow conditions. PCM integration further stabilized thermal behavior, with phase change durations extending to 12.5 min under tested conditions. These findings highlight the importance of geometric optimization and materia

We study the oxo-hexametallate Li$_7$TaO$_6$ with first-principles and classical molecular dynamics simulations, obtaining a low activation barrier for diffusion of $\sim$0.29 eV and a high ionic conductivity of $5.7 \times 10^{-4}$ S cm$^{-1}$ at room temperature (300 K). We find evidence for a wide electrochemical stability window from both calculations and experiments, suggesting its viable use as a solid-state electrolyte in next-generation solid-state Li-ion batteries. To assess its applicability in an electrochemical energy storage system, we performed electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements on multicrystalline pellets, finding substantial ionic conductivity, if below the values predicted from simulation. We further elucidate the relationship between synthesis conditions and the observed ionic conductivity using X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and study the effects of Zr and Mo doping.

Inverter-based resources (IBR) have been widely studied for their advantages on the current power systems. This increase in the penetration of renewable energy has raised some concerns about the stability of the existing grid. Historically, power systems are dominated by synchronous generators that can easily react to system instability due to high inertia and damping characteristics. However, with IBR, the control of the inverter plays a crucial role in contributing to the system stability and enhancing the functionality of the inverters. One of these novel control methods is droop control. Droop characteristics are used to control voltage, frequency, and active and reactive power. This paper presents the impact of frequency droop damping on system frequency, real power, and the rate of change of frequency with distributed energy resources. Also, battery sizing is suggested based on the results. The results also show the need for optimal selection for the frequency droop damping to fulfill the appropriate battery size in terms of cost and performance. The simulations are carried out in an electromagnetic transient program (EMTP)

We report a high-field magnetotransport study on selected low-carrier crystals of the topological insulator Bi$_{2-x}$Sb${_x}$Te$_{3-y}$Se$_{y}$. Monochromatic Shubnikov - de Haas (SdH) oscillations are observed at 4.2~K and their two-dimensional nature is confirmed by tilting the magnetic field with respect to the sample surface. With help of Lifshitz-Kosevich theory, important transport parameters of the surface states are obtained, including the carrier density, cyclotron mass and mobility. For $(x,y)=(0.50,1.3)$ the Landau level plot is analyzed in terms of a model based on a topological surface state in the presence of a non-ideal linear dispersion relation and a Zeeman term with $g_s = 70$ or $-54$. Input parameters were taken from the electronic dispersion relation measured directly by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy on crystals from the same batch. The Hall resistivity of the same crystal (thickness of 40~$μ$m) is analyzed in a two-band model, from which we conclude that the ratio of the surface conductance to the total conductance amounts to 32~\%.

In this review, from crystallographic symmetry to amorphous local polyhedra arrangement and combinations, we examine inorganic solid state electrolytes through the lens of structure property relationships, with oxides, sulfides, and halides representing three major framework chemistries. Halide solid electrolytes and their derivatives, including mixed anion halides and antiperovskite related materials, have expanded this landscape further by introducing new ways to regulate local coordination chemistry, defect populations, and transport active frameworks. Across these families, fast ion conduction depends not simply on composition or crystallographic diffusion pathways, but on the coupled effects of framework topology, site energy distribution, defect chemistry, bottleneck response, and local anion flexibility. Oxides illustrate transport within chemically robust but geometrically constrained frameworks. Sulfides demonstrate that a soft, easily polarizable lattice can broaden the array of low energy migration pathways. Halides occupy an intermediate state, in which the closely packed anion sublattices, an approximately degenerate lithium environment, and mixed anion coordination en

This review provides a quick overview of the state-of-the-art development of anode, cathode, solid electrolyte of SLBs and the observation of ion transport in the cell during the past half year in 2023. Other important developments for SLIBs such as high safety and performance strategies have also been provided.
