This study presents a spectrally resolved investigation of x-ray parametric down-conversion around the diamond K-edge, demonstrating strong polaritonic hybridization and enabling the high-resolution extraction of bulk diamond's refractive index.
This paper utilizes a first-principles-derived tight-binding model to demonstrate that while long-range hopping quantitatively refines the peak characteristics of shift current conductivity in monolayer SnS, a minimal short-range model successfully captures the essential low-energy nonlinear response features of the bulk photovoltaic effect.
This paper reports a counterintuitive negative temperature coefficient of Gilbert damping in Py/Nd bilayers, where damping decreases with rising temperature due to thermally induced dynamic separation of interfacial and bulk magnetization, a phenomenon that can be tuned via capping layer thickness to enhance spintronic device performance.
This study reveals that while attractive interactions mediated by shell restructuring enable the formation of bound pairs, chains, and hexagonal clusters of bimerons and hopfions in chiral magnet thin films with a conical background, these systems ultimately fail to crystallize into stable lattices due to the progressive invasion of conical spiral or CF-1 phases into inter-soliton regions.
This paper proposes a non-volatile, bias-free spin-wave phase shifter that utilizes a movable domain wall in a dipolarly coupled half-ring structure to achieve continuous 360-degree phase tuning with constant amplitude, offering a compact solution for energy-efficient magnonic logic.
This study demonstrates that epitaxial, L2₁-ordered Co₂MnSi waveguides with impeccable crystalline integrity exhibit intrinsic magnetocrystalline anisotropy that stabilizes magnetization, suppresses nonlinear spin-wave instabilities over a wide frequency range, and enables bias-field-free nonlinear magnonics with high group velocities and ultralow damping.
This paper establishes a predictive framework for the deterministic synthesis of specific borophene polymorphs on silver substrates by integrating reactive machine-learned interatomic potentials with grand-canonical Monte Carlo simulations to map growth pathways and identify conditions that suppress competing motifs.
This paper demonstrates that using a parametric pump to induce dynamically controlled strong coupling between a Josephson circuit and a rare-earth spin ensemble enables efficient, on-demand quantum state transfer, paving the way for hybrid quantum memories with coherence times far exceeding those of superconducting circuits alone.
This paper presents a theoretical and numerical demonstration of a two-dimensional system that simultaneously exhibits both dipolar and quadrupolar higher-order topological phases, challenging the previous view that these classes are mutually exclusive, and proposes a practical implementation using laser-written optical waveguide arrays.
This study demonstrates the use of multi-directional dark-field neutron tomography as a non-destructive, multi-scale imaging technique to visualize the 3D hierarchical nanoarchitecture and anisotropic orientation of cellulose nanofibrils in solid foams, overcoming the radiation damage and length-scale limitations of conventional X-ray and electron-based methods.
