Three-dimensional atomic structure and local chemical order of medium- and high-entropy nanoalloys
Medium- and high-entropy alloys (M/HEAs) mix several principal elements with near-equiatomic composition and represent a model-shift strategy for designing previously unknown materials in metallurgy1–8, catalysis

Open AccessAccurate real space iterative reconstruction (RESIRE) algorithm for tomography
Tomography has made a revolutionary impact on the physical, biological and medical sciences. The mathematical foundation of tomography is to reconstruct a three-dimensional (3D) object from a set of two-dimens...

Subterahertz collective dynamics of polar vortices
The collective dynamics of topological structures1–6 are of interest from both fundamental and applied perspectives. For example, studies of dynamical properties of magnetic vortices and skyrmions3,4 have not onl...

Open AccessThree-dimensional atomic scale electron density reconstruction of octahedral tilt epitaxy in functional perovskites
Octahedral tilts are the most ubiquitous distortions in perovskite-related structures that can dramatically influence ferroelectric, magnetic, and electronic properties; yet the paradigm of tilt epitaxy in thi...

Open AccessArtificial two-dimensional polar metal at room temperature
Polar metals, commonly defined by the coexistence of polar crystal structure and metallicity, are thought to be scarce because the long-range electrostatic fields favoring the polar structure are expected to b...

Open AccessDoes the Dirac Cone Exist in Silicene on Metal Substrates?
Absence of the Dirac cone due to a strong band hybridization is revealed to be a common feature for epitaxial silicene on metal substrates according to our first-principles calculations for silicene on Ir, Cu,...
