Study of $^{7}$Li+$^{10}$B elastic scattering and the lithium-induced reaction of one-nucleon transfers from $^{10}$B($^{7}$Li,$^{6}$Li)$^{11}$B

The angular distributions of elastic scattering of $^{7}$Li, as well as the lithium-induced reaction of one-nucleon transfers $^{10}$B($^{7}$Li,$^{6}$Li)$^{11}$B were measured at $E_\text{lab}$ = 58 MeV. Experiment was done using U-400 accelerator beam of the FLNR JINR, Dubna. Angular distribution for reaction $^{10}$B($^{7}$Li,$^{6}$Li)$^{11}$B with excitation of the 3.56 MeV state ($^{6}$Li*) is presented for the first time. The DWBA analysis of the differential cross section of the $^{10}$B($^{7}$Li,$^{6}$Li)$^{11}$B ground state (g.s.) transition and excited ($J^\pi$ = 0$^+$, $T$ = 1, $E$ = 3.56 MeV) state of $^{6}$Li transition was performed. The optical model potentials were obtained by fitting of measured elastic scattering data and evaluating parameters for the output reaction channels. Phenomenological approach based on solving an approximate equation for the reaction form factor was used to determine its radial dependence and empirical values of asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC). Obtained values of ANCs for the $^{6}$Li$_\text{g.s.}$ and $^{6}$Li*(3.56 MeV) states are in agreement with the literature ones. Comparison of the radial dependences of form factors shows that the wave function of the $^{6}$Li nucleus in excited ($J^\pi$ = 0$^+$, $T$ = 1, $E$ = 3.56 MeV) state has increased spatial dimension compared to the ground state. This result is an argument in favor of a halo existence in $^{6}$Li*(3.56 MeV) state, while the question of a halo in $^{6}$Li$_\text{g.s.}$ still leaves open.

Ultrafast diffusive cross-sheet motion of lithium through antimonene with a 2+1 dimensional kinetics

Layered two-dimensional materials like graphene are highly appealing for lithium battery applications owing to their high surface-volume ratios. However, a critical issue that limits their practical applications is the confined motion of lithium atoms within their van der Waal's gaps, which is the leading cause for battery failure due to severe clustering and phase separation. Here we demonstrate that antimonene, an exfoliatable 2D material with a high structural stability, exhibits a highly mobile cross-sheet motion owing to its unique structural features. The advent of the vertically permeable channels opens a new pathway of lithium besides the normal motion along the basal plane, rendering a 2+1 dimensional kinetics. Specifically, our first-principles calculations combined with the discrete geometry analysis revealed that the energy barrier for a lithium atom to diffuse across the antimonene sheet is as low as 0.36 eV, which can be further reduced to 0.18 eV under a tensile strain of 4%. These ultralow diffusion barriers across the sheet can open a new dimension for controlling the motion of lithium atoms, leading to a new paradigm for high-performance lithium batteries or inorganic solid-state lithium-ion conductors.

Graphene Nanoribbon as an Elastic Damper

Heterostructures composed of dissimilar two-dimensional nanomaterials can have nontrivial physical and mechanical properties promising for many applications. Interestingly, in some cases, it is possible to create heterostructures composed of weakly and strongly stretched domains with the same chemical composition, as it has been demonstrated for some polymer chains, DNA, and intermetallic nanowires supporting this effect of two-phase stretching. These materials at relatively strong tension forces split into domains with smaller and larger tensile strain. Within this region, average strain increases at constant tensile force due to the growth of the domain with the larger strain in the expense of the domain with smaller strain. Here the two-phase stretching phenomenon is described for graphene nanoribbons with the help of molecular dynamics simulations. This unprecedented feature of graphene revealed in our study is related to the peculiarities of nucleation and motion of the domain walls separating the domains with different elastic strain. It turns out that the loading-unloading curves exhibit a hysteresis-like behavior due to the energy dissipation during the domain wall nucleation and motion. Here, we originally put forward the idea of implementing graphene nanoribbons as elastic dampers, efficiently converting mechanical strain energy into heat during cyclic loading-unloading through elastic extension where domains with larger and smaller strain coexist. Furthermore, in the regime of two-phase stretching, graphene nanoribbon is a heterostructure for which the fraction of domains with larger and smaller strain, and consequently its physical and mechanical properties, can be tuned in a controllable manner by applying elastic strain and/or heat.
