Thermally induced structural evolution and nanoscale interfacial dynamics in Bi-Sb-Te layered nanostructures (Elsevier PDF proof)

Summary

This corpus entry points to an Elsevier annotatable PDF proof of the Matter article on Bi–Sb–Te layered nanostructures (DOI 10.1016/j.matt.2024.08.006). The normalized/extracts/2024moradifar-venue-paper_p1-2.txt fragment includes the proof cover letter, the title, author list, and Highlights as prepared for Matter 7, 1–16 (October 2024). The Highlights state that the work directly visualizes nanoscale dynamics and sublimation pathways in Bi–Sb–Te systems; shows how structural heterogeneities drive anisotropic sublimation; analyzes defects, edge types, and formation energies in sublimation; and presents a multimodal framework said to extend to other vdW metal chalcogenides. The opening abstract text in the extract frames microscopy coupled with theoretical calculations to interpret how defects and interfaces steer anisotropic sublimation, with motivation for topological insulator and energy/electronics applications and for engineering nanoporous structures. Full curated prose tied to the primary article PDF is maintained under 2024moradifar-matter-corre-thermally-induced (papers/Moradifar_SeBiTe_Matter_2024.pdf). The proof cover letter reminds authors that comments entered in Elsevier’s online proofing interface may not yet appear in the downloaded PDF, which is why annotatable proofs sometimes circulate alongside VOR files in large corpora.

Methods

1 — MD application — N/A for this path: the Elsevier proof PDF is for layout/workflow, not a standalone protocol sheet; any atomistic MD in the work is described on 2024moradifar-matter-corre-thermally-induced.

2 — Force-field training — N/A — not a parameterization note.

3 — Static QM / DFT — The extract does not restate DFT program, hybrid or meta-GGA functional, DFT-D dispersion treatment, plane-wave/PAW or localized basis set, k-point/Brillouin k-mesh density, geometry or NEB reaction pathways, or tabled energies/barriers/frequencies/DOS/band gaps; each is N/A on this stub (VOR + SI for any DFT table).

4 — Experiment / review context — Modalities, sample history, and imaging/sublimation claims belong to the version-of-record article; this file duplicates DOI 10.1016/j.matt.2024.08.006 for galley tracking only.

Findings

Outcomes and mechanisms (proof-level only). The Highlights in the extract frame anisotropic sublimation at nanoscale dynamics and the role of structural heterogeneity and defect/edge motifs in Bi–Sb–Te; the actionable science for mechanisms and numbers is on 2024moradifar-matter-corre-thermally-induced for DOI 10.1016/j.matt.2024.08.006.

Comparisons, sensitivity, and limitations. The proof text does not itself benchmark DFT to experiment; T-dependent trends and any sensitivity analysis live in the VOR. What this stub cannot assert: full kinetics, sublimation barriers, or microscopy workflows beyond the front-matter text—see Limitations below and the canonical page.

Corpus / KB honesty — this slug documents elsevier proof workflow; duplicate MANIFEST rows may still use this galley path for hash provenance.

Limitations

Galley/proof PDFs can differ from the published article in layout, watermarks, figure resolution, and minor corrections. Prefer 2024moradifar-matter-corre-thermally-induced for stable pagination and figure callouts. extraction_quality: partial on this slug reflects the front-matter-heavy extract, not a judgment that the full PDF lacks science—only that automation saw little continuous text in p1–2.

Relevance to group

Retained when a clone only holds the proof path; van Duin and Nayir appear on the author list in the extract, linking the work to 2D/chalcogenide simulation and microscopy collaborations.
