Direction and symmetry transition of the vector order parameter in topological superconductors Cu_xBi₂Se₃

The understanding of the vector order parameter for Cu_0.3Bi₂Se₃ topological superconductor remains unclear. Here, Kawai et al. report a surprising disappearance of the in-plane upper critical field anisotropy for Cu_xBi₂Se₃ single crystals with more carriers, indicating a transition from nematic to chiral superconducting gap symmetry.

Van der Waals interactions and the limits of isolated atom models at interfaces

Van der Waals forces are individually weak, but on scale can drive many nano- and macroscopic processes. Here, Kawai et al. directly measure the van der Waals interactions between noble gas atom pairs and show how this changes with atom size and surface adsorption.

On the mechanisms of lysis triggered by perturbations of bacterial cell wall biosynthesis

Inhibition of bacterial cell wall synthesis by β-lactam antibiotics results in a loss of cell wall integrity, but cells die via a combination of downstream events involving metabolic perturbations and oxidative damage. Here, Kawai et al. identify key enzymatic steps that stimulate the generation of reactive oxygen species and highlight the role of iron homeostasis in the lethal effects mediated by oxidative damage.

State-selective dissociation of a single water molecule on an ultrathin MgO film

Understanding the interaction of water with oxide surfaces at the molecular level could prove to be significant for controlling the catalytic activity of complex nanoparticles on insulating films. Two types of selective dissociation pathway involving electronic and vibrational excitation are now observed for a single water molecule on MgO thin films.

Anisotropic oxygen diffusion at low temperature in perovskite-structure iron oxides

The movement of oxygen ions through materials is important in electrolytes and separation membranes, but is rare at lower temperatures. Two different low-temperature diffusion pathways are revealed during the reduction process of CaFeO_2.5 to CaFeO₂. The two pathways are significantly different, resulting in anisotropy.
