Comparisons of Energetic Electron Observations Between FIREBIRD‐II CubeSats and POES/MetOp Satellites From 2018 to 2020 by I. M. Householder, K. A. Duderstadt, J. M. Pettit, A. T. Johnson, C.‐L. Huang, A. B. Crew, D. M. Klumpar, T. Raeder, J. G. Sample, M. Shumko, S. S. Smith, H. E. Spence

“…The analysis considers 51 high quality conjunction events at >300 keV during times of low to moderate geomagnetic activity. The spacecraft capture similar electron flux variability, and FIREBIRD‐II observations fall between POES/MetOp 0° and 90° telescopes, likely a result of FIREBIRD‐II sampling both precipitating and mirrored electrons due to uncertainties in pointing direction. …”

Pressure‐Enhanced Superconductivity and Structural Phase Transition in Layered Sn4P3 by Hao Ding, Jingyu Hou, Kun Zhai, Xin Gao, Junquan Huang, Feng Ke, Bingchao Yang, Congpu Mu, Fusheng Wen, Jianyong Xiang, Bochong Wang, Tianyu Xue, Anmin Nie, Xiaobing Liu, Lin Wang, Xiang‐Feng Zhou, Zhongyuan Liu

“…Through this structure reconstruction under high pressure, electron distribution has been reorganized and phonons have softened, facilitating a high superconducting temperature (Tc) value of 7.8 K at 34.9 GPa, which is almost six times higher than its ambient value. The study introduces a new transition route in layered SnAs/SnP‐based intermetallic materials and provides insight into the structural and electronic changes under high pressure for Sn4P3.…”

Enhancing thermoelectric properties of ScN films through twin domains by J. More-Chevalier, U.D. Wdowik, J. Martan, T. Baba, S. Cichoň, P. Levinský, D. Legut, E. de Prado, P. Hruška, J. Pokorný, J. Bulíř, C. Beltrami, T. Mori, M. Novotný, I. Gregora, L. Fekete, L. Volfová, J. Lančok

“…We find that the ScN/MgO(001) layers with twin-domain structure reveal enhanced thermoelectric properties at elevated temperature as compared to those measured for almost defect- and domain-free layers, namely, enlarged Seebeck coefficient by about 30% and over two and a half times increased figure of merit at 800 K. Therefore, structural twin domains in thin ScN film appear to be a simple and rather stable solution for the improvement of its thermoelectric properties at elevated temperatures.…”
