Rotating the light's polarization switches one MoOCl2 nanodisk between plasmonic and dielectric modes

MoOCl2 is metallic along one crystal axis and dielectric along the perpendicular one, and an Okayama-led team used that split to measure a dielectric quality factor of 45.3 in nanodisks on gold, about 5.7 times the plasmonic mode's.

Vanadium bonds reorganize through three phases of Li0.5VS2 while it stays metallic

Okayama University researchers report that the two magnetic transitions of Li0.5VS2 track vanadium-vanadium bonds that form zigzag chains near 345 K and pairs near 140 K, with resistivity metallic in all three phases.
