Below are the most recent papers in this dynamic area of condensed matter physics, ready for you to explore.
This paper proposes that the Dual Model of Liquids bridges macroscopic and mesoscopic behaviors by demonstrating how the interaction between solid-like molecular aggregates and lattice excitations establishes a privileged time arrow in dissipative processes, despite the underlying interaction remaining temporally reversible.
This paper derives a Galilean-invariant first-principles Ehrenfest molecular dynamics framework within the Projector-Augmented-Wave method that incorporates nuclear-velocity-dependent phases on atomic orbitals to eliminate spurious non-adiabatic couplings for both norm-conserving and ultra-soft pseudo-potentials.
This paper investigates the collective excitation modes of confined synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmions using micromagnetic simulations, revealing how antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling and geometric confinement transform low-frequency dynamics from gyrotropic and breathing modes into distinct translational and out-of-phase breathing oscillations, including signal propagation in skyrmion chains.
This paper proposes a novel concept for quantum thermal logic gates that utilize heat current in coupled quantum-dot systems to perform logic operations, demonstrating a direct correspondence to classical electronic circuits and presenting a feasible experimental nano-electronic architecture for their implementation.
This paper proposes that particle-hole interference between quasiparticles scattered from a single impurity and reflected by a boundary in superconductors generates a robust "ghost" interference pattern, offering a parametrically stronger and more sensitive local probe of superconducting electronic order and Fermi-surface anisotropy via STM/STS measurements.
This study reports the first observation of the fundamental 1/3 fractional quantum anomalous Hall state and a gapless extended quantum anomalous Hall phase in rhombohedral pentagonal graphene/hBN moiré superlattices, revealing a particle-hole symmetric phase diagram and enabling thermodynamic characterization of topological transitions at zero magnetic field.
This paper investigates the interacting non-Hermitian Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model to demonstrate that a real-space topological marker robustly identifies topological phases and their breakdown into charge density waves, while revealing that non-Hermiticity significantly amplifies interaction-induced charge correlations, particularly near exceptional points under open boundary conditions.
This paper reports the formation of a room-temperature synchronized dipole state in plasmonic nanogap 2D arrays that exhibits spatial coherence across distant emitters without the spectral narrowing or directional emission characteristic of traditional lasers or condensates.
This paper presents a theoretical study demonstrating that vertical electric fields can electrically tune the valley character and occupancy of states in MoSe/WSe heterostructure-based quantum dots, enabling selective localization of electrons in either the or valleys through a combination of density functional theory and an \textit{ab initio}-based tight-binding model.
This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that hybrid Josephson junction arrays, known as Andreev crystals, exhibit directional conductance at high interface transparency under a constant phase bias, enabling the creation of a tunable, one-way signal filter.
