This paper presents a physics-constrained machine learning framework that accurately decodes complex multi-nanobubble configurations in graphene by leveraging a validated additive relationship between single-bubble and multi-bubble density-of-states spectra to interpret overlapping electronic features.
This paper utilizes semi-classical techniques to derive explicit expressions for the universal late-time spatial and momentum profiles of a large number of non-interacting fermions expanding ballistically from an isotropic trap, revealing a generalized edge exponent of that extends the Wigner semi-circle and Thomas-Fermi laws to arbitrary power-law potentials and dimensions.
This study employs a 2-D phase-field model to demonstrate that strong reaction rate anisotropy is the dominant factor driving the formation of anisotropic TiO2 nanowire arrays during hydrogen-based nanocarving, while also providing a morphology map to guide grain orientation control.
This study demonstrates that displacement-field tuning in twisted monolayer/bilayer WSe enables the realization of distinct correlated phases in the and valleys, revealing how their contrasting orbital characters drive different quantum behaviors such as antiferromagnetism, Mott transitions, and Wigner crystallization.
This paper presents a semi-empirical, position-dependent tight-binding model for lithium impurities in monolayer and bilayer graphene, calibrated against density-functional theory to accurately reproduce electronic band structures and elucidate how localized Li-induced perturbations modify low-energy properties through symmetry breaking and intervalley mixing.
This paper investigates the dynamics of bipartite and multipartite entanglement in two- and three-site minimal Kitaev chains, demonstrating that tunable interplay between superconducting pair potentials and onsite energies can robustly generate maximally entangled states, including GHZ and W-type states, despite parity constraints and the presence of Majorana quasiparticles.
This paper demonstrates that the directional accumulation of non-Hermitian skin states can be systematically reversed and robustly controlled by adjusting the system size or boundary conditions in a transverse direction, offering a novel non-local switching mechanism for non-Hermitian sensing and lasing applications.
This paper demonstrates that extended cluster-Ising quantum batteries, despite being Jordan-Wigner integrable spin chains where super-extensive charging power was previously thought impossible, exhibit robust anomalous scaling up to a thousand spins due to a corresponding super-extensive growth in stored energy, although this effect remains limited to finite system sizes.
This study employs phase-field simulations to reveal that asymmetric dendrite stripping in all-solid-state sodium batteries leaves behind kinetically stabilized, isolated sodium metal at grain boundaries, which acts as a catalyst for accelerated dendrite propagation during subsequent cycling.
This paper proposes and numerically demonstrates a design for a diamond photonic crystal slab that achieves enhanced third-harmonic generation by simultaneously resonating the fundamental and third-harmonic modes via a doubly resonant quasi-bound state in the continuum, resulting in high conversion efficiency and tunability across visible to deep-UV wavelengths.
