This paper demonstrates that an in-plane electric field serves as an efficient tuning parameter to achieve nearly 100% spin polarization in a hybrid antiferromagnetic ring-wire junction, validating its potential as a robust, externally controllable spintronic device.
This paper experimentally demonstrates both first- and second-order dynamical phase transitions in a dephased photonic quantum walk on a three-node graph, revealing how tunable gauge flux and dephasing control the crossover between detailed-balance and non-detailed-balance regimes while linking Liouvillian spectral topology to relaxation criticality.
This paper proposes and validates a physically-informed framework that integrates chemical immiscibility, hydrophobic thickness mismatch, and geometric constraints to predict and rationalize the four primary morphologies of unilamellar hybrid lipid-diblock copolymer membranes across a broad parameter space.
This paper presents a direct nanoscale characterization method for CuInP₂S₆ van der Waals nanogenerators using scanning thermal microscopy and harmonic detection to quantitatively measure local pyroelectric coefficients and identify performance-limiting defects that are obscured in conventional spatially averaged measurements.
This study demonstrates that magnetotransport measurements in a graphene layer adjacent to the insulating helical antiferromagnet NiI provide a sensitive, non-invasive electrical readout of the material's magnetic phase behavior, characterized by distinct anisotropic low-field peaks and nonlinear harmonic responses that vanish above the multiferroic transition temperature.
This review surveys recent experimental advances in four major classes of ultracold atomic lattice platforms—optical lattices, synthetic lattices, Floquet-engineered lattices, and optical tweezer arrays—highlighting their distinct capabilities for realizing and probing topological phases while discussing emerging directions and future prospects in the field.
This paper investigates interaction-induced symmetry breaking in three-valley moiré superlattices formed by twisting identical materials near the points, revealing a rich landscape of complex intervalley-coherent and flavor-polarized instabilities that arise from the unique three-valley topology and deviations from the flat-metric condition.
This paper proposes a symmetry-resolved optical probe using interfering optical vortex beams to detect intrinsic loop-current chirality in moiré materials, such as twisted bilayer graphene, by isolating specific angular-momentum channels in the helicity-dependent dc photocurrent that reflect the material's geometric chirality and symmetry.
This paper resolves the ambiguity between direct and parametric driving in nanomechanical resonators by using a carbon nanotube as an electromechanical mixer to independently measure motional frequency, thereby distinguishing fundamental parametric motion from first-overtone direct motion and revealing high-order parametric responses at and .
This paper demonstrates that while the -tensor formalism successfully describes spin qubit dynamics under monochromatic driving with two gates or bichromatic driving with a single gate, it fails for bichromatic driving using two distinct gates, necessitating three additional parameters to accurately capture the Rabi frequency.
