We provide an exact study of dynamical correlations for the quantum spin-orbital liquid phases of an SU(2)-symmetric Kitaev honeycomb lattice model. We show that the spin dynamics in this Kugel-Khomskii type model is exactly the density-density correlation function of S=1 fermionic magnons, which could be probed in re…

Perovskite single-crystal (SC) or quasi-single-crystal (QSC) films are promising candidates for excellent performance of photoelectric devices. However, it is still a great challenge to fabricate large-area continuous SC or QSC films with proper thickness. Herein, we propose a pressure-assisted high-temperature solven…

Abstract A newly introduced Na−B bond in NaBH3−has been a challenge for the chemical bonding community. Here, a series of MBH3−(M=Li, Na, K) species and NaB(CN)3−are studied within the context of quantum chemical topology approaches. The analyses suggest that M–B interaction cannot be classified as an ordinary covalen…

A novel strain of an iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacterium was isolated from a natural biotope at Kashen copper ore (Martakert Province, Republic of Artsakh). The strain is able to grow and oxidize ferrous ions in the range of pH 1.4-2.6 with optimal pH 2.0. The optimal temperature for growth is 35 °C. Acidithiobacillu…
