Electronic Conductivity as a Rate‑Limiting Factor for Calcium‑Ion Storage in Layered Vanadium Oxides

ABSTRACT Rechargeable calcium batteries are promising for sustainable energy storage but lack cathode materials that reversibly intercalate Ca 2+ at practical rates. While considerable efforts have focused on improving ionic conductivity, this work investigates how electronic con...

Spontaneous emergence of skyrmions beyond room temperature in boron-doped CrTe

Abstract Magnetic skyrmions are vortex-like spin textures that exhibit remarkable emergent phenomena and hold great promise for applications in spintronics, magnonic devices, and neuromorphic computing. Typically, these spin textures are formed in magnetic samples through the app...
