Long and narrow slit-shaped pores are predicted to have enhanced permeation and selectivity. We report, for the first time, the efficient production of membranes containing densely packed slitted pores with a pore width of <15 nm from block copolymers (BCPs). Such membranes exhibit sharp selectivity and ultrahigh wate…

The ${180}^{\ensuremath{\circ}}$ ferroelectric domain walls (FDWs) have long been regarded as purely Ising type in ferroelectrics, but recent theoretical works suggested that they can also have N\'eel- and/or Bloch-like rotations. Using a combination of first-principles calculations with phase-field simulations, we st…

Semiconducting higher manganese silicides (HMS), with a nominal composition of MnSi 1.73, are particularly promising thermoelectric materials because of their elemental abundance, nontoxicity, and reported ZT of around 0.4 at 800 K for undoped samples. However, embedded MnSi impurities naturally form during the melt g…
