This paper proposes a universal expression for the domain-wall width in multi-sublattice Heisenberg magnets by establishing an exact connection between the domain-wall profile and long-wavelength spin-wave dispersion, a framework that accurately predicts widths across various magnetic orders and lattice structures while providing a microscopic foundation for their temperature dependence.
This paper proposes that sliding junctions between rhombohedral graphite crystals serve as a tunable platform for smoothly transitioning between topologically trivial and non-trivial electronic phases, where the emergence of topological states is governed by the interfacial atomic stacking symmetry analogous to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.
This paper rigorously establishes the connections between Majorana bound state separation, robust energy degeneracy, and protected non-abelian braiding in interacting systems by defining Majorana bound states from many-body ground states and demonstrating how their locality constrains environmental coupling to quantify protection.
This paper establishes a first-principles framework using thermal time-dependent density functional theory to calculate full quantum work statistics and dissipated-work moments in interacting many-body systems, demonstrating its predictive power in analyzing the Mott-to-band-insulator crossover within the Hubbard model.
This paper demonstrates that perturbations in twisted bilayer graphene naturally redistribute between coupled Dirac cones to reach a robust equilibrium near the magic angle, thereby extending the concept of the magic angle to a broader regime governed by moiré-driven equilibrium.
This paper demonstrates that a double-layer graphene architecture separated by an ultra-thin hexagonal boron nitride layer significantly reduces external inhomogeneity through mutual screening, enabling the observation of quantum Hall effects at record-low magnetic fields and highlighting the platform's potential for studying strongly correlated electronic phases.
This paper demonstrates that spurious imaginary phonon modes significantly distort heat capacity estimates and mislead machine learning benchmarks for Metal-organic Frameworks, and proposes a rapid post-processing workflow to correct these errors for accurate thermal property screening.
This paper introduces RADII, a radius-resolved benchmark that systematically characterizes the "extrapolation frontier" of graph generative models for materials science, revealing that structural fidelity degrades predictably beyond training radii and that this degradation pattern is unique to each model architecture.
This paper reformulates the macroscopic Young equation on molecular grounds using a universal wetting coefficient derived from water's intrinsic hydrogen-bond energetics, thereby revealing wetting as an emergent property of water itself and establishing a predictive framework that unifies wetting, adhesion, and cavitation across diverse surfaces.
This study reports the discovery of easily saturated and anisotropic magnetostriction in the prototypical altermagnet MnTe, a finding that challenges traditional views on antiferromagnetic magnetostriction by revealing a symmetry-allowed coupling between elastic strain and the Néel order parameter.
