Study uncovers phonon properties of β-MoB₂ single crystal

Exciting new findings have been revealed in the world of topological phononic materials! A groundbreaking study led by Prof. Luo Xuan has uncovered the presence of stacking faults in the lattice structure of β-MoB2 single crystal. This compound, known for its unique boron hexagonal ring structure, has been causing a stir in the scientific community due to its nontrivial topology and abnormal superconductivity behaviors. The team’s research sheds light on the mysterious SC I transition in β-MoB2, opening up new avenues for exploration in the field. By utilizing advanced techniques like Raman spectroscopy and theoretical calculations, the researchers have identified anomalous Raman modes on the crystal’s edge plane, even at ultra-low temperatures. Through meticulous analysis, they have pinpointed the distortion of the B atomic layer as the origin of these modes, providing valuable insights into the material’s superconducting properties. This study marks a significant step forward in our understanding of topological phonon materials and their fascinating behaviors under different conditions.
