Abstract
We report the observation of superconductivity in (Pt0.2Ir0.8)3Zr5 with a chiral space group (P6122) at low temperatures. The bulk nature of the superconductivity at a transition temperature of 2.2 K was confirmed using specific heat measurements. We revealed that (Pt0.2Ir0.8)3Zr5 obeys the weak-coupling Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer model, and the dominant mechanism in the upper critical field is the orbital pair-breaking limit rather than the Pauli-Clogston limit. This indicates that the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling caused by the chiral crystal structure does not significantly affect the superconductivity of (Pt0.2Ir0.8)3Zr5.

Abstract
We report the first observation of bulk superconductivity of a η-carbide-type oxide Zr4Pd2O. The crystal structure and the superconducting properties were studied through synchrotron X-ray diffraction, magnetization, electrical resistivity, and specific heat measurement. The superconducting transition was observed at Tc = 2.73 K. Our measurement revealed that the η-carbide-type oxide superconductor Zr4Pd2O shows an enhanced upper critical field μ0Hc2(0) = 6.72 T, which violates the Pauli-Clogston limit μ0HP = 5.29 T. On the other hand, we found that the enhanced upper critical field is absent in a Rh analogue Zr4Rh2O. The large μ0Hc2(0) of Zr4Pd2O would be raised from strong spin-orbit coupling with Pd-4d electrons. The discovery of new superconducting properties for Zr4Pd2O would shed light on the further development of η-carbide-type oxide superconductors.

Abstract
Depending on thermal and pressure conditions, AgInS2 exhibits various crystal structures. In this study, we synthesized a high-purity polycrystalline sample of trigonal AgInS2, which is a layered compound, using a high-pressure synthesis technique. The crystal structure was investigated by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and the Rietveld refinement. On the basis of band calculation, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and electrical resistance measurements, we found that the obtained trigonal AgInS2 is a semiconductor. Temperature dependencies of electrical resistance of AgInS2 were measured by a diamond anvil cell up to 31.2 GPa. Although semiconducting behavior was suppressed with pressure, metallic behavior was not observed within the pressure range investigated in this study.

Abstract
Recently, c-axis negative thermal expansion (NTE) was observed in a CoZr2 superconductor and related transition-metal zirconides. Here, we investigated the structural, electronic, and superconducting properties of Co1-xNixZr2 to achieve systematic control of c-axis NTE and switching from NTE to positive thermal expansion (PTE) by Ni substitution. At x ≤ 0.3, c-axis NTE was observed, and the thermal expansion constant αc approached zero with increasing x. At x = 0.4-0.6, c-axis thermal expansion close to zero thermal expansion (ZTE) was observed, and PTE appeared for x ≥ 0.7. On the superconducting properties, we observed bulk superconductivity for x ≤ 0.6, and bulk nature of superconductivity is suppressed by Ni heavy doping (x ≥ 0.7). For x ≤ 0.6, the evolution of the electronic density of states well explains the change in the superconducting transition temperature (Tc), which suggests conventional phonon-mediated superconductivity in the system. By analyzing the c/a ratio, we observed a possible collapsed transition in the tetragonal lattice at around x = 0.6-0.8. The lattice collapse would be the cause of the suppression of superconductivity in Ni-rich Co1-xNixZr2 and the switching from NTE to PTE.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right heart failure following left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is a major complication which significantly impairs functional capacity and quality of life (QoL). Right ventricular (RV) reserve function may limit exercise capacity and QoL in LVAD patients; however, most patients show normal RV haemodynamics at rest.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate whether RV reserve assessed by the changes of RV function during exercise is correlated with exercise capacity and QoL in patients with LVAD.
Methods
We prospectively examined 20 consecutive LVAD patients who were admitted to our university hospital between June 2020 and November 2021 after excluding those who were unable to perform exercise (n=8). All patients underwent invasive exercise right heart catheterisation with simultaneous echocardiography in the supine position. RV stroke work index (RVSWI) was calculated as 0.0136 × stroke volume index × (mean pulmonary artery pressure [mPAP] − right atrial pressure [RAP]) at rest and during exercise. Exercise capacity and QoL were assessed by 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and peak oxygen consumption (VO2) in cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and the EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS), respectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the median ΔRVSWI (RVSWI change from rest to peak exercise) of 1.45 (interquartile range [IQR] −0.31 to 8.25) g/m2.
Results
Patients were predominantly male (75%) and the median age was 47 (IQR 38–60) years. Patients with lower ΔRVSWI had significantly higher change on RAP (P=0.019), but significantly lower change on mPAP (P<0.001) compared to those with higher ΔRVSWI. There were no significant differences in age, gender, primary aetiology of heart failure, type of LVAD devices, or echocardiographic parameters including tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, and RVSWI at rest between the groups. ΔRVSWI during exercise were positively correlated with 6MWD (R=0.69, P<0.01) and peak VO2 (R=0.66, P<0.01) (Figure A). In addition, ΔRVSWI during exercise were positively correlated with the EQ-VAS (R=0.48, P=0.031). On the other hand, there was no significant correlation between RVSWI at rest and 6MWD (R=−0.11, P=0.63) and peak VO2 (R=0.13, P=0.95), and the EQ-VAS (R=0.11, P=0.61). During a median follow-up period of 312 (IQR 176–369) days, adverse events occurred in 3 patients (15%), including 1 death and 2 hospitalisations for major bleeding and right heart failure. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the adverse events more frequently occurred in patients with lower ΔRVSWI compared to those with higher ΔRVSWI (Figure B).
Conclusions
ΔRVSWI was positively correlated with 6MWD, peak VO2 and EQ-VAS irrespective of RV function at rest. Our findings suggest that the assessment of RV reserve function using ΔRVSWI would be useful for risk stratification in patients with LVAD.

Abstract
High-entropy-alloy (HEA) superconductors are a new class of disordered superconductors. However, commonality of superconducting characteristics of HEA materials is unclear. Here, we have investigated the crystal and electronic structure, and the robustness of superconducting states in a HEA-type metal telluride (MTe; M = Ag, In, Sn, Pb, Bi) under high pressure, and the results were compared with the pressure effects for a middle-entropy system (AgPbBiTe3) and a reference system of PbTe. When the crystal structure is CsCl-type, all phases show superconductivity under high pressure but exhibit different pressure dependences of the transition temperature (Tc). For PbTe, its Tc decreases with pressure. In contrast, the Tc of HEA-type AgInSnPbBiTe5 is almost independent of pressure, for pressures ranging from 13.0 to 35.1 GPa. Those results suggest that the robustness of superconductivity to external pressure is linked to the configurational entropy of mixing at the M site in MTe. Since the trend is quite similar to previous work on a HEA (Ti–Zr–Hf–Nb–Ta), where the robustness of superconductivity was observed up to ~ 200 GPa, we propose that the robustness of superconductivity under high pressure would be a universal feature in HEA-type superconductors.

Abstract
Recently, high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and HEA-type compounds have been extensively studied in the fields of material science and engineering. In this article, we report on the synthesis of a layered system MBi2Te4 where the M site possesses low-, middle-, and high-entropy states. The samples with M = Pb, Ag1/3Pb1/3Bi1/3, and Ag1/5In1/5Sn1/5Pb1/5Bi1/5 were newly synthesized and the crystal structure was examined by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Rietveld refinement. We found that the M-Te2 distance was systematically compressed with decreasing lattice constants, where the configurational entropy of mixing at the M site is also systematically increased. The details of structural refinements and the electrical transport property are presented.

Abstract
REBa2Cu3O7- δ (RE123, RE: rare earth) is one of the high-temperature superconductors with a transition temperature (T c) exceeding 90 K. Because of its high-T c and large critical current density (J c) under magnetic fields, RE123 superconductors have been expected to play a key role in superconductivity application. To accelerate application researches on RE123-based devices, further improvements of J c characteristics have been desired. In this study, we investigated the effects of high-entropy alloying at the RE site on the superconducting properties, through the measurements of local (intra-grain) J c ( J c local ) by a remanent magnetization method. We found that J c local shows a trend to be improved when four or five RE elements are mixed at the RE site, which results in high configurational entropy of mixing (ΔS mix). All samples exhibited an order of few MA cm-2 which is a criterion for practical application and the highest J c local resulted in a value of around 7.0 MA cm-2 at T = 2.0 K. Because high-entropy alloying can improve J c local of RE123 superconductors, our entropy-engineering strategy introduced here would be useful for the development of RE123 superconducting materials available under high magnetic fields.

Abstract
Centrosymmetric compounds with local inversion symmetry breaking have tremendously interesting and intriguing physical properties. In this study, we focus on a BiCh2-based (Ch: S, Se) layered superconductor, as a system with local inversion asymmetry, because spin polarisation based on the Rashba–Dresselhaus-type spin–orbit coupling has been observed in centrosymmetric BiCh2-based LaOBiS2 systems, while the BiCh2 layer lacks local inversion symmetry. Herein, we report the existence of extremely high in-plane upper critical fields in the BiCh2-based system LaO0.5F0.5BiS2−xSex (x = 0.22 and 0.69). The superconducting states are not completely suppressed by the applied magnetic fields with strengths up to 55 T. Thus, we consider that the in-plane upper critical field is enhanced by the local inversion symmetry breaking and its layered structure. Our study will open a new pathway for the discovery of superconductors that exhibit a high upper critical field by focusing on the local inversion symmetry breaking.

Abstract
We investigated the chemical pressure effects on structural and electronic properties of SnTe-based material using partial substitution of Sn by Ag0.5Bi0.5, which results in lattice shrinkage. For Sn1-2x(AgBi)xTe, single-phase polycrystalline samples were obtained with a wide range of x. On the basis of band calculations, we confirmed that the Sn1-2x(AgBi)xTe system is basically possessing band inversion and topologically preserved electronic states. To explore new superconducting phases related to the topological electronic states, we investigated the In-doping effects on structural and superconducting properties for x = 0.33 (AgSnBiTe3). For (AgSnBi)(1-y)/3InyTe, single-phase polycrystalline samples were obtained for y = 0-0.5 by high-pressure synthesis. Superconductivity was observed for y = 0.2-0.5. For y = 0.4, the transition temperature estimated from zero-resistivity state was 2.4 K, and the specific heat investigation confirmed the emergence of bulk superconductivity. Because the presence of band inversion was theoretically predicted, and the parameters obtained from specific heat analyses were comparable to In-doped SnTe, we expect that the (AgSnBi)(1-y)/3InyTe and other (Ag, In, Sn, Bi)Te phases are candidate systems for studying topological superconductivity.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The standard diagnosis of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is based on the following: 1) symptoms of HF, 2) preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF, >50%), and 3) presence of LV diastolic dysfunction confirmed by echocardiography or cardiac catheterisation. However, there are limits to the diagnostic accuracy of individual parameters, and what cut-off values should be applied and how they should be combined remain unclear. Diagnostic algorithms for HFpEF such as the HFA-PEFF algorithm and the H2FPEF score have been proposed; however, previous validation studies were conducted in stable chronic HF and did not include an invasive haemodynamic assessment. Thus, the diagnostic accuracy for HFpEF lacked robustness. Moreover, information on their applicability in the Asian population is limited.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to investigate these scores' diagnostic validity for HFpEF in Japanese patients recently hospitalised due to acute decompensated HF.
Methods
We examined patients with HFpEF recently hospitalised with acute decompensated HF whose HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores could be calculated at discharge from a nationwide HFpEF-specific multicentre registry (HFpEF group) and control patients who underwent echocardiography to investigate the cause of dyspnoea in our hospital (Non-HFpEF group). We calculated the HFA-PEFF and the H2FPEF scores among the studied population. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were computed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of these scores.
Results
The studied population included 372 consecutive patients (194 HFpEF group and 178 Non-HFpEF group; HFpEF prevalence, 52%). The HFA-PEFF score classified 155 (42%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (5–6 points) and only 19 (5%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). A high HFA-PEFF score could diagnose HFpEF with a high specificity of 84% and a positive predictive value (PPV) of 82%, and a low HFA-PEFF score could rule out HFpEF with a high sensitivity of 99% and a negative predictive value (NPV) of 89%. The H2FPEF score classified 86 (23%) of all patients into the high likelihood category (6–9 points) and 84 (23%) into the low likelihood category (0–1 point). HFpEF could be diagnosed with a high H2FPEF score (specificity, 97%; PPV, 94%) or ruled out with a low H2FPEF score (sensitivity, 97%; NPV, 93%). The diagnostic accuracy for the HFA-PEFF and H2FPEF scores was 0.82 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.78–0.86) and 0.89 (95% CI 0.86–0.93), respectively, by the AUC of the ROC curve (P=0.004) (Figure 1A). In the HFA-PEFF sub-scores, the functional score showed little diagnostic value, while the morphological and biomarker scores showed moderate diagnostic value (Figure 1B).
Conclusions
The H2FPEF score may be more useful than the HFA-PEFF score in diagnosing HFpEF in Japanese patients.

Abstract
BiCh2-based (Ch: S, Se) layered superconductors have attracted extensive attentions because of variation of materials and physical characteristics, which include relatively large spin-orbit coupling originating from bismuth 6porbitals, and the possibility of anisotropic superconducting gap. Some of theoretical studies suggested that anisotropic superconductivity is realized in the BiCh2-based superconductors. In experimental studies, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurement on the superconducting states of Nd(O,F)BiS2have revealed the anisotropic structure of the superconducting gap, and the absence of isotope effect have been reported, indicating unconventional superconductivity pairing. Furthermore, two-fold-symmetric in-plane anisotropy of magnetoresistance have been observed in the superconducting states of some of Bi(S,Se)2-based systems like La(O,F)Bi(S,Se)2while the crystal structure possesses a tetragonal square plane with four-fold symmetry. Those results indicate nematic superconductivity is emerging in BiCh2-based superconductors. On the basis of the observations suggesting unconventional superconductivity in BiCh2-based systems, clarification of pairing mechanisms of superconductivity in BiCh2-based superconductors have been highly desired. In this article, we review experimental results on the superconducting gap structure, the pairing mechanism, and related phenomena of BiCh2-based superconductors.

Abstract
Solid-state synthesis from powder precursors is the primary processing route to advanced multicomponent ceramic materials. Designing reaction conditions and precursors for ceramic synthesis can be a laborious, trial-and-error process, as heterogeneous mixtures of precursors often evolve through a complicated series of reaction intermediates. Here, ab initio thermodynamics is used to model which pair of precursors has the most reactive interface, enabling the understanding and anticipation of which non-equilibrium intermediates form in the early stages of a solid-state reaction. In situ X-ray diffraction and in situ electron microscopy are then used to observe how these initial intermediates influence phase evolution in the synthesis of the classic high-temperature superconductor YBa2 Cu3 O6+ x (YBCO). The model developed herein rationalizes how the replacement of the traditional BaCO3 precursor with BaO2 redirects phase evolution through a low-temperature eutectic melt, facilitating the formation of YBCO in 30 min instead of 12+ h. Precursor selection plays an important role in tuning the thermodynamics of interfacial reactions and emerges as an important design parameter in planning kinetically favorable synthesis pathways to complex ceramic materials.

Abstract
β-Li3PS4 is a solid electrolyte with high Li+ conductivity, applicable to sulfide-based all-solid-state batteries. While a β-Li3PS4-synthesized by solid-state reaction forms only in a narrow 300-450 °C temperature range upon heating, β-Li3PS4 is readily available by liquid-phase synthesis through low-temperature thermal decomposition of complexes composed of PS43- and various organic solvents. However, the conversion mechanism of β-Li3PS4 from these complexes is not yet understood. Herein, we proposed the synthesis mechanism of β-Li3PS4 from Li3PS4·acetonitrile (Li3PS4·ACN) and Li3PS4·1,2-dimethoxyethane (Li3PS4·DME), whose structural similarity with β-Li3PS4 would reduce the nucleation barrier for the formation of β-Li3PS4. Synchrotron X-ray diffraction clarified that both complexes possess similar layered structures consisting of alternating Li2PS4- and Li+-ACN/DME layers. ACN/DME was removed from these complexes upon heating, and rotation of the PS4 tetrahedra induced a uniaxial compression to form the β-Li3PS4 framework.

Abstract
The effects of pressure on the superconducting properties of a Bi-based layered superconductor La2O2Bi3Ag0.6Sn0.4S6, which possesses a four-layer-type conducting layer, have been studied through the electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure under pressure was examined using synchrotron x-ray diffraction at SPring-8. In the low-pressure regime, bulk superconductivity with a transition temperatureTcof ∼4.5 K was induced by pressure, which was achieved by in-plane chemical pressure effect owing to the compression of the tetragonal structure. In the high-pressure regime above 6.4 GPa, a structural symmetry lowering was observed, and superconducting transitions with aTc∼ 8 K were observed. Our results suggest the possible commonality on the factor essential forTcin Bi-based superconductors with two-layer-type and four-layer-type conducting layers.

Abstract
Investigation of isotope effects on superconducting transition temperature (Tc) is one of the useful methods to examine whether electron–phonon interaction is essential for pairing mechanisms. The layered BiCh2-based (Ch: S, Se) superconductor family is a candidate for unconventional superconductors, because unconventional isotope effects have previously been observed in La(O,F)BiSSe and Bi4O4S3. In this study, we investigated the isotope effects of 32S and 34S in the high-pressure phase of (Sr,La)FBiS2, which has a monoclinic crystal structure and a higher Tc of ~ 10 K under high pressures, and observed conventional-type isotope shifts in Tc. The conventional-type isotope effects in the monoclinic phase of (Sr,La)FBiS2 are different from the unconventional isotope effects observed in La(O,F)BiSSe and Bi4O4S3, which have a tetragonal structure. The obtained results suggest that the pairing mechanisms of BiCh2-based superconductors could be switched by a structural-symmetry change in the superconducting layers induced by pressure effects.

Abstract
We have studied the local structure of layered Eu(La,Ce)FBiS2 compounds by Bi L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements as a function of temperature. We find that the BiS2 sub-lattice is largely distorted in EuFBiS2, characterized by two different in-plane Bi-S1 distances. The distortion is marginally affected by partial substitutions of Ce (Eu0.5Ce0.5FBiS2) and La (Eu0.5La0.5FBiS2). The temperature dependence of the local structure distortion reveals an indication of possible charge density wave like instability in the pristine self-doped EuFBiS2 and Ce substituted Eu0.5Ce0.5FBiS2 while it is suppressed in La substituted Eu0.5La0.5FBiS2. In compounds with higher superconducting transition temperature, the axial Bi-S2 bond distance is elongated and the related bond stiffness decreased, suggesting some important role of this in the charge transfer mechanism for self-doping in the active BiS2-layer. In-plane Bi-S1 distances are generally softer than the axial Bi-S2 distance and they suffer further softening by the substitutions. The results are discussed in relation to an important role of the Bi defect chemistry driven asymmetric local environment in the physical properties of these materials.

Abstract
Polycrystalline samples of Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 (RE: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, and Sm) were synthesized via the solid-state reaction and characterized using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Although all the Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 samples exhibited superconductivity at transition temperatures (Tc) within the range of 2.1-2.7 K under ambient pressure, the estimated superconducting volume fraction was small, which indicates non-bulk nature of superconductivity in those samples under ambient pressure. A dramatic increase in shielding fraction, which indicates the emergence of the bulk superconductivity was achieved by applying external hydrostatic pressures. We found that two phases, low-P phases with Tc = 2.5-2.8 K and high-P phases with Tc = 10.0-10.8 K, were induced by the pressure effect for samples with RE = La, Ce, Pr, and Nd. Pressure-Tc phase diagrams indicated that the critical pressure for the emergence of the high-P phase tends to increase with decreasing ionic radius of the doped RE ions, which was explained by the correlation between external and chemical pressure effects. According to the high-pressure X-ray diffraction measurements of Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2, a structural phase transition from tetragonal to monoclinic also occurred at approximately 1.1 GPa. Bulk superconducting phases in Sr0.5RE0.5FBiS2 induced by the external hydrostatic pressure effect are expected to be useful for understanding the effects of both external and chemical pressures to the emergence of bulk superconductivity and pairing mechanisms in BiCh2-based superconductors.

Abstract
We propose an efficient way of increasing the entropy of mixing in high-entropy-alloy-type compounds, which can be achieved by multi-site alloying. As an example of this concept, we report the synthesis and observation of polycrystalline samples of new high-entropy-alloy-type metal chalcogenides (Ag,In,Pb,Bi)Te1-xSex (x = 0.0, 0.25, and 0.5) with a NaCl-type structure. The samples were synthesized using high pressure synthesis. Superconductivity with transition temperatures of 2.7, 2.5, and 2.0 K was observed with x = 0.0, 0.25, and 0.5, respectively. To investigate the multi-site alloying effect on the entropy of mixing (ΔSmix) for the examined samples, we calculated the total ΔSmix for two crystallographic sites. For the samples with x = 0.25 and 0.5, ΔSmix reaches 1.89R and 2.00R, respectively, which exceed the ΔSmix of 1.79R for a simple (single-site) high-entropy alloy containing six different elements.

Abstract
We report the synthesis and thermoelectric transport properties of As-doped layered pnictogen oxyselenides NdO0.8F0.2Sb1−xAsxSe2 (x ≤ 0.6), which are predicted to show high-performance thermoelectric properties based on first-principles calculation. The crystal structure of these compounds belongs to the tetragonal P4/nmm space group (No. 129) at room temperature. The lattice parameter c decreases with increasing x, while a remains almost unchanged among the samples. Despite isovalent substitution of As for Sb, electrical resistivity significantly rises with increasing x. Very low thermal conductivity of less than 0.8 Wm−1K−1 is observed at temperatures between 300 and 673 K for all the examined samples. For As-doped samples, the thermal conductivity further decreases above 600 K. Temperature-dependent synchrotron X-ray diffraction indicates that an anomaly also occurs in the c-axis length at around 600 K, which may relate to the thermal transport properties.

Abstract
Ce1−xPrxOBiS2 (0. 1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) single crystals were grown using a CsCl flux method. Their structural and physical properties were examined by X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, transmission electron microscopy, and electrical resistivity. All of the Ce1−xPrxOBiS2 single crystals with 0.1 ≤ x ≤ 0.9 exhibited tetragonal phase. With increasing Pr content, the a-axis and c-axis lattice parameters decreased and increased, respectively. Transmission electron microscope analysis of Ce0.1Pr0.9OBiS2 (x = 0.9) single crystal showed no stacking faults. Atomic-resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry mapping revealed that Bi, Ce/Pr, O, and S occupied different crystallographic sites, while Ce and Pr randomly occupied the same sites. X-ray absorption spectra showed that an increase of the Pr ratio increased the ratio of Ce4+/Ce3+. All of the Ce1−xPrxOBiS2 crystals showed superconducting transition, with a maximum transition temperature of ~4 K at x = 0.9.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The distal transradial approach (dTRA) is a newly developed technique expected to reduce bleeding and other complications, such as occlusions, arising from the nature of the puncture site during transradial access. However, there is a paucity of data with regard to the nursing workload during or after achieving hemostasis. The present study aimed to evaluate the workload of the nursing service associated with dTRA in patients undergoing diagnostic coronary angiography (CAG).
Methods
Two-hundred patients who underwent CAG using a 4-Fr sheath system in our hospital between October 2017 and September 2018 were enrolled in the study. Of the total, 100 patients underwent dTRA for CAG (dTRA group), and the other 100 patients underwent the conventional transradial approach (TRA) for CAG (TRA group). After CAG, continuous compression was performed for 3 hours in the TRA group using a TR Band™, which is a hemostasis device for TRA, to remove 2 ccs and 3 ccs of air at 30 and 120 minutes, respectively. If bleeding occurred, 1 to 2 ccs were replaced using the band, followed by a wait time of 15 minutes. Similarly, continuous compression was performed in the dTRA group usingSTEPTY™, a compression tape with a 6-mm-thick pad at the central portion, and the patient’s arm was wrapped in an elastic bandage for 2 hours after CAG. We compared the dTRA and TRA groups in terms of nursing workload associated with the achievement of hemostasis and the complications related to the puncture site.
Results
The nursing-service workload associated with the management of hemostasis, including the nursing hours, the time taken to measure vitals, and the recording times were found to be significantly shorter for the dTRA group compared to that of the TRA group (2.1 ± 0.5 vs 4.1 ± 0.7 times, p < 0.001; 2.1 ± 0.4 vs 4.1 ± 0.7 times, p < 0.001; 2.1 ± 0.4 vs 4.1 ± 0.6 times, p < 0.001, respectively). Further, the number of cases requiring treatment for bleeding was fewer in the dTRA group than in the TRA group (3 vs 12 cases, p < 0.05).
Conclusions
The workload of the nursing service associated with achieving hemostasis in the dTRA group was significantly lower compared to that in the TRA group. The introduction of dTRA for routine coronary catheterization possibly help in reducing the complications and the nursing workload in daily nursing practices.

Abstract
NaSn2As2 is mechanically exfoliable layered van der Waals (vdW) Zintl phase that is getting interesting due to its low thermal conductivity and recently observed superconductivity. Here, we have investigated the temperature dependent local structure of NaSn2As2 by a combined analysis of As K-edge and Sn K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements. The system is intrinsically disordered with the interatomic distances largely consistent to those estimated by average structure measurements. The stretching force constants of different bond distances have been determined using temperature dependent mean square relative displacements. The Sn-As distance is the strongest bond in this system, having covalent nature, unlike the weaker interlayer distances which are characterized by vdW type bonding. Among them, As-Na distance is slightly weaker than Sn-Sn(i) below ∼200 K and tends to get stronger above this temperature. The anomalous behavior of As-Na bond suggests that the mechanical exfoliation in this system is likely to be temperature dependent. The anomaly in the interlayer atomic correlations may be due to a charge density wave-like instability around this temperature, indicated by earlier experiments. The local structure and disorder are discussed in relation to the physical properties of NaSn2As2.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The distal transradial approach (dTRA) for coronary catheterisation is a newly introduced alternative to the conventional transradial approach. This technique is expected to decrease the incidence of haemorrhagic complications and improve patient comfort. However, limited data are available regarding the application of this technique in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This study investigated the feasibility and safety of the dTRA for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with AMI.
Methods
This study included patients with AMI who underwent primary PCI via the distal radial artery across 3 Japanese hospitals between January 2018 and January 2019. Patients' background, procedural characteristics, and clinical outcomes including the incidence of haemorrhagic complications were analysed.
Results
This study enrolled 95 consecutive patients with AMI, including 68 patients (71.6%) with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in whom distal radial artery puncture was attempted for primary PCI. The patients included 70 men (73.7%), and the mean age was 72.2±12.4 years. Among these patients, cannulation was successfully performed in 89 patients (93.7%). A 5-, 6-, or 7-French sheath (conventional or slender) was used in this study. Cannulation was performed using a forearm radial artery approach in patients in whom dTRA failed.
PCI was successfully performed in all patients. The meantime to achieve haemostasis was 6.3±5.3 hours, and no major bleeding complications occurred. Based on The Early Discharge After Transradial Stenting of Coronary Arteries trial haematoma scale, grade I, II, and III subcutaneous haemorrhages were observed in 16 (16.8%), 4 (4.2%), and 1 patient (1.1%), respectively. No patient developed a haematoma > grade IV.
In patients with STEMI, the mean door-to-balloon time was 39.4±31.9 min, and the mean puncture-to-balloon time was 19.7±14.2 min.
Conclusions
The distal radial approach is feasible and safefor primary PCI in selected patients with AMI.The application of the dTRA may serve as a less invasive strategy for the treatment of patients with AMI.

Abstract
An extremely large displacement of the indium site in In-S6 octahedra in LnOInS2 (Ln = La, Ce, and Pr) was found in synchrotron X-ray diffraction. LaOInS2 with off-center indium in In-S6 octahedra exhibited a wider optical band gap than CeOInS2 and PrOInS2 with on-center indium. Therefore, the electronic structure of LnOInS2 is governed by the indium site with an extremely large displacement. All LnOInS2 produced H2 gas under visible light irradiation in the presence of sacrificial electron donors.

Abstract
Silver bismuth diselenide (AgBiSe2) is an n-type thermoelectric material that exhibits a complex structural phase transition from the hexagonal to cubic phase, while silver antimony diselenide (AgSbSe2) is a p-type thermoelectric material that crystallizes in the cubic phase at all temperatures. Here, we investigate the crystal structure and thermoelectric properties of Ag(Bi,Sb)Se2 solid solution, employing AgBi0.9Sb0.1Se2 and AgBi0.7Sb0.3Se2 as representative samples. The carrier polarity of AgBi0.9Sb0.1Se2 is converted from the n-type to p-type by Pb doping, accompanied by a polymorphic change to the cubic phase. It is difficult to obtain highly conductive p-type hexagonal AgBiSe2-based materials, although first-principles calculations predict high-performance thermoelectric properties for these systems. We also demonstrate that cubic AgBi0.7Sb0.3Se2 undergoes a polymorphic change to the hexagonal phase upon Nb doping. The present study show that polymorphic changes inevitably occurred upon Pb/Nb doping to optimize thermoelectric properties of Ag(Bi,Sb)Se2 solid solution.

Abstract
Isovalent substitution of S by Se in LaOBiS2-x Se x has a substantial effect on its electronic structure and thermoelectric properties. To investigate the possible role of BiS2 structural instability, we have studied the local structure of LaOBiS2-x Se x ([Formula: see text]) using temperature dependent Bi L3-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements. The results reveal that the local structure of the two compounds is significantly different. The BiS2 sub-lattice is largely distorted in LaOBiS2 (x = 0.0), with two in-plane Bi-S1 distances separated by ∼0.4 Å instead LaOBiSSe (x = 1.0) showing much smaller local disorder with two in-plane Bi-Se distances in the plane being separated by ∼0.2 Å. Temperature dependent study shows that the two Bi-S1 distances are characterized by different bond strength in LaOBiS2 (x = 0.0) while it is similar for the Bi-Se distances in LaOBiSSe (x = 1.0). The out of plane Bi-S2 bond is harder in LaOBiSSe indicating that the structural instability of BiS2 layer has large effect on the out-of-plane atomic correlations. The results suggest that the local structure of LaOBiS2-x Se x is an important factor to describe differing electronic and thermal transport of the two compounds.

Abstract
Superconductors with a van der Waals (vdW) structure have attracted a considerable interest because of the possibility for truly two-dimensional (2D) superconducting systems. We recently reported NaSn2As2 as a novel vdW-type superconductor with transition temperature (Tc) of 1.3 K. Herein, we present the crystal structure and superconductivity of new material Na1−xSn2P2 with Tc = 2.0 K. Its crystal structure consists of two layers of a buckled honeycomb network of SnP, bound by the vdW forces and separated by Na ions, as similar to that of NaSn2As2. Amount of Na deficiency (x) was estimated to be 0.074(18) using synchrotron X-ray diffraction. Bulk nature of superconductivity was confirmed by the measurements of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat. First-principles calculation using density functional theory shows that Na1−xSn2P2 and NaSn2As2 have comparable electronic structure, suggesting higher Tc of Na1−xSn2P2 resulted from increased density of states at the Fermi level due to Na deficiency. Because there are various structural analogues with tin-pnictide (SnPn) conducting layers, our results indicate that SnPn-based layered compounds can be categorized into a novel family of vdW-type superconductors, providing a new platform for studies on physics and chemistry of low-dimensional superconductors.

Abstract
Ce1- xPr xOBiS2 powders and Ce0.5Pr0.5OBiS2 single crystals were synthesized and their structure and superconductive properties were examined by X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption, electronic resistivity, and magnetization. While PrOBiS2 was found to be in a monoclinic phase with one-dimensional Bi-S zigzag chains showing no superconductive transition above 0.1 K, CeOBiS2 was in a tetragonal phase with two-dimensional Bi-S planes showing zero resistivity below 1.3 K. In the range x = 0.3-0.9 in Ce1- xPr xOBiS2, both monoclinic and tetragonal phases were formed together with zero resistivity up to a maximum temperature of 2.2 K. A Ce0.5Pr0.5OBiS2 single crystal, which showed both zero resistivity and a decrease in magnetization at ∼2.4 K, presented a tetragonal structure. Short Bi-S bonding in flat two-dimensional Bi-S planes and mixed Ce3+/Ce4+ were characteristic features of the Ce0.5Pr0.5OBiS2 single crystal, which presumably triggered its superconductivity.

Abstract
We have studied the local structure of LaO0.5F0.5BiS2-x Se x by Bi L1-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). We find a significant effect of Se substitution on the local atomic correlations with a gradual elongation of average in-plane Bi-S bondlength. The associated mean square relative displacement, measuring average local distortions in the BiS2 plane, hardly shows any change for small Se substitution, but decreases significantly for [Formula: see text]. The Se substitution appears to suppress the local distortions within the BiS2 plane that may optimize in-plane orbital hybridization and hence the superconductivity. The results suggest that the local structure of the BiS2-layer is one of the key ingredients to control the physical properties of the BiS2-based dichalcogenides.

Abstract
The relationship between the structure and superconductivity of Bi4O4S3 powders synthesized by heating under ambient and high pressures was investigated using synchrotron X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation. The Bi4O4S3 powders synthesized under ambient pressure exhibited a strong superconductivity (diamagnetic) signal and zero resistivity below ∼4.5 K, while the Bi4O4S3 powder synthesized by the high-pressure method exhibited a low-intensity signal down to 2 K. Further annealing of the latter Bi4O4S3 powder under ambient pressure led to the development of a strong signal and zero resistivity. The crystal structures of all Bi4O4S3 phases consisted of Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks including a Bi-S layer and anion(s) sandwiched between Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, but minor structural differences were detected. A comparison of the structures of the superconductive and nonsuperconductive Bi4O4S3 samples suggested that the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases had slightly smaller lattice parameters. The average structures of the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases were characterized by a slightly shorter and less bent Bi-S plane. Raman spectroscopy detected vibration of the S-O bonds, which can be attributed to sandwiched anion(s) such as SO4(2-). TEM observation showed stacking faults in the superconductive Bi4O4S3 phases, which indicated local fluctuation of the average structures. The observed superconductivity of Bi4O4S3 was discussed based on impurity phases, enhanced hybridization of the px and py orbitals of the Bi-S plane within Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, local fluctuation of the average structures, compositional deviation related to suspicious anion(s) sandwiched between Bi4O4Bi2S4 blocks, and the possibility of suppression of the charge-density-wave state by enriched carrier concentrations.

Abstract
BiCh2-based compounds (Ch: S, Se) are a new series of layered superconductors, and the mechanisms for the emergence of superconductivity in these materials have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we investigate the relationship between crystal structure and superconducting properties of the BiCh2-based superconductor family, specifically, optimally doped Ce1-xNdxO0.5F0.5BiS2 and LaO0.5F0.5Bi(S1-ySey)2. We use powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction to determine the crystal structures. We show that the structure parameter essential for the emergence of bulk superconductivity in both systems is the in-plane chemical pressure, rather than Bi-Ch bond lengths or in-plane Ch-Bi-Ch bond angle. Furthermore, we show that the superconducting transition temperature for all REO0.5F0.5BiCh2 superconductors can be determined from the in-plane chemical pressure.

Abstract
We have studied the effect of RE substitution on the structure and the local atomic disorder in REO0.5F0.5BiS2 (RE = rare-earth) to understand their correlation with the bulk superconductivity in these materials. The mean RE size, affecting the chemical pressure, has been varied in two series namely Ce1-xNdxO0.5F0.5BiS2 and Nd1-ySmyO0.5F0.5BiS2. The lattice parameters evolve anomalously, showing an anisotropic shrinkage (elongation) of the c-axis (a-axis) to an isotropic expansion of the lattice with increasing mean RE size. The Bi L3-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements are performed to investigate local displacements in the BiS2 lattice, revealing a large disorder and a sharp boundary between the Ce-containing and Sm-containing series with a distinct local structure. The results suggest that the bulk superconductivity in REO0.5F0.5BiS2 is correlated with anomalous atomic displacements in the Bi-S1 network, likely to be a combined effect of active Bi 6s electronic states and a possible Jahn-Teller-like instability of the Bi 6px/6py electrons.

Abstract
We have used Bi and Ce L3-edges extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements to study local structure of CeO(1-x)F(x)BiS2 system as a function of F-substitution. The local structure of both BiS2 active layer and CeO1-xFx spacer layer changes systematically. The in-plane Bi-S1 distance decreases (ΔRmax ∼ 0.08 Å) and the out-of-plane Bi-S2 distance increases (ΔRmax ∼ 0.12 Å) with increasing F-content. On the other hand, the Ce-O/F distance increases (ΔRmax ∼ 0.2 Å) with a concomitant decrease of the Ce-S2 distance (ΔRmax ∼ 0.15 Å). Interestingly, the Bi-S1 distance is characterized by a large disorder that increases with F-content. The results provide useful information on the local atomic displacements in CeO(1-x)F(x)BiS2, that should be important for the understanding of the coexistence of superconductivity and low temperature ferromagnetism in this system.

Abstract
The electronic structure of FeSe(1-x)Te(x) chalcogenide superconductors has been studied by x-ray emission (XES) and x-ray absorption (XAS) as a function of Te substitution. The Fe Kβ XES spectra reveal a relatively low spin state for Fe in FeSe(1-x)Te(x) superconductors, persisting in the whole range of Te substitution. The Fe K-edge high-resolution XAS shows systematic spectral changes due to the evolving hybridization between the Fe 3d (4p) and chalcogen p (d) orbitals. The resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) spectra hardly show any feature except the one due to charge transfer from occupied to unoccupied bands, that changes substantially from FeSe to FeTe. The results provide important information on the electronic states and their evolution in the FeSe(1-x)Te(x) chalcogenides.

Abstract
We have characterized the electronic structure of FeSe1-x Te x for various x values using soft x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (SXPES), high-resolution photoemission spectroscopy (HRPES) and inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES). The SXPES valence band spectral shape shows that the 2 eV feature in FeSe, which was ascribed to the lower Hubbard band in previous theoretical studies, becomes less prominent with increasing x. HRPES exhibits systematic x dependence of the structure near the Fermi level (EF): its splitting near EF and filling of the pseudogap in FeSe. IPES shows two features, near EF and approximately 6 eV above EF; the former may be related to the Fe 3d states hybridized with chalcogenide p states, while the latter may consist of plane-wave-like and Se d components. In the incident electron energy dependence of IPES, the density of states near EF for FeSe and FeTe has the Fano lineshape characteristic of resonant behavior. These compounds exhibit different resonance profiles, which may reflect the differences in their electronic structures. By combining the PES and IPES data the on-site Coulomb energy was estimated at 3.5 eV for FeSe.

Abstract
The superconducting transition temperature, Tc, in iron-based solids can be enhanced by applied pressure: Tc increases from 8 to 37 K for the 11-type FeSe when the pressure is raised from 0 to 4 GPa. High-pressure studies can elucidate the mechanism of superconductivity in such novel materials. In this paper, we present a high-pressure study of Fe(Se1-x Te x ) and Fe(Se1-x S x ). In the case of Fe(Se1-x Te x ), the maximum Tc under high pressure did not exceed the Tc of FeSe, which can be attributed to the structural transition to the monoclinic phase. For Fe(Se1-x S x ) (0 < x < 0.3), Tc exhibited a significant increase with pressure; however, the maximum Tc under high pressure did not exceed the Tc of FeSe. This may be due to the disorder induced by substituting S for Se, which is similar to the pressure effect on Tc for the 1111-type superconductor Ca(Fe1-x Co x )AsF. The Tc of Fe(Se1-x S x ) showed a complex behavior below 1 GPa, first decreasing and then increasing with increasing pressure. From high-pressure x-ray diffraction measurements, the Tc (P) curve was correlated with the local structural parameter.

Abstract
We have measured the local structure of superconducting K(0.8)Fe(1.6)Se(2) chalcogenide (T(c) = 31.8 K) by temperature dependent polarized extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) at the Fe and Se K-edges. We find that the system is characterized by a large local disorder. The Fe-Se and Fe-Fe distances are found to be shorter than the distances measured by diffraction, while the corresponding mean square relative displacements reveal large Fe-site disorder and relatively large c-axis disorder. The local force constant for the Fe-Se bondlength (k ~ 5.8 eV Å(-2)) is similar to the one found in the binary FeSe superconductor, however, the Fe-Fe bondlength appears to be flexible (k ~ 2.1 eV Å(-2)) in comparison to the binary FeSe (k ~ 3.5 eV Å(-2)), an indication of partly relaxed Fe-Fe networks in K(0.8)Fe(1.6)Se(2). The results suggest a glassy nature for the title system, with the superconductivity being similar to that in the granular materials.

Abstract
The local structure of Fe(Se, S)(1-x)Te(x) ternary (11-type) chalcogenides has been studied by temperature dependent Fe K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure measurements. We find that the Fe-Se and Fe-Te distances in ternary FeSe(1-x)Te(x) are closer to the respective distances in the binary systems, revealing significant divergence of the local structure from the average one. The mean square relative displacements show a systematic change with Te content, consistent with bond relaxation in the inhomogeneous ternary phases. Also, the Fe-Te and Fe-S distances in the FeS(0.2)Te(0.8) ternary system are found to be different in the crystallographically homogeneous structure. The observed features are characteristic of ternary random alloys, suggesting that a proper consideration should be given to the atomic distribution for describing the complex electronic structure of these multi-band Fe-based chalcogenides.
