SUMMARY:11th Eminent Guest Lecture by Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research and the Department of Physics are jointly organising the 11th Eminent Guest Lecture on the topic “Transition Metal-Doped 2D GaN with improved catalytic performance for lithium–sulfur batteries: Insights from a first-principles study” on June 18\, 2026. Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe\, Associate Professor\, Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development\, Sunway University\, Malaysia\, will deliver the session. \nAbstract \nLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies due to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density. However\, their commercial deployment remains hindered by the polysulfide shuttle effect and the sluggish kinetics of the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR)\, which involves a complex 16-electron conversion pathway. Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that coating sulfur cathodes with GaN nanosheets effectively suppresses polysulfide shuttling and improves cycling stability compared with conventional Li–S batteries. The polar nature of GaN promotes strong interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs)\, while the relatively low atomic masses of Ga and N help preserve the high energy density of the system. Motivated by these findings\, we employed first-principles density functional theory calculations to systematically screen transition-metal (TM) single-atom dopants on two-dimensional (2D) GaN for enhanced SRR electrocatalysis. Our results reveal that the key liquid-to-solid conversion step\, Li₂S₄ → Li₂S\, exhibits a linear correlation with the SRR overpotential\, described by Based on the resulting volcano relationship\, Pd@GaN and Cu@GaN emerge as the most promising catalysts\, each exhibiting an overpotential of 0.43 V. Both single-atom catalysts remain thermally stable on the 2D GaN substrate and display strong adsorption toward high-order lithium polysulfides (Li₂Sₙ\, n = 4\, 6\, and 8)\, with binding energies ranging from −1.81 to −2.99 eV\, indicating excellent capability for suppressing the shuttle effect. These findings provide fundamental insights into the SRR mechanism on TM-doped 2D GaN and offer valuable design principles for developing high-performance single-atom catalysts for advanced Li–S batteries.

SUMMARY:ACCMS Webinar-41 by Prof. Stefan Blügel
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research is organising the 41st webinar under the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS) Global Centre on July 28\, 2026. Prof. Stefan Blügel\, Quantum Theory of Materials (PGI-1)\, Peter Grünberg Institute\, Institute for Theoretical Physics\, RWTH Aachen University\, will deliver the webinar on the topic “Chiral Magnons and Anisotropic Damping in Metallic Altermagnets”. \nAbstract \nAltermagnetism\, a novel class of magnetic order\, has recently attracted the scientific interest. Combining the favourable properties of ferromagnets\, such as spin polarised conduction electrons\, with the advantages of antiferromagnets\, such as zero net magnetisation and high-frequency switching\, it is a promising area of research [1]. While the ground state properties of altermagnets have been studied\, their dynamic properties\, such as magnon dispersions\, remain elusive. Understanding these properties includes the investigation of magnon excitations\, which is essential for the development of spintronic and magnonic devices based on altermagnets. In altermagnets\, the chiral magnon degeneracy of antiferromagnets is lifted along certain wave-vector directions and chiral magnons emerge as a consequence of exchange interactions and crystal symmetry\, rather than from spin-orbit coupling. Unlike chiral magnets\, where chirality originates from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in noncentrosymmetric systems\, altermagnetic chiral magnons arise from the momentum-dependent spin splitting enforced by symmetry\, even in centrosymmetric materials. In this presentation\, results are presented of our recent investigation [2] on the interplay between electronic band spin splitting and chiral magnon excitations in a series of metallic g-wave altermagnets of 3d-transition-metal pnictides\, TmPn\, in the NiAs structure with a 3d element (Tm=V\, Cr)\, and a pnicogen (Pn= As\, Sb\, Bi) using density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory [3]. The latter theory allows a coherent investigation of Stoner and magnon excitations in metallic magnets. For example\, we find that the magnon damping due to Stoner excitations is highly wavevector-dependent\, reaching substantial values in specific Brillouin zone regions. I relate to recent RIXS experiments [4-6] on CrSb that confirmed the presence of polarization-dependent magnon modes.
