Reprogrammable magnonic logic in a multiferroic heterostructure via magnetoelectric coupling

This paper demonstrates a non-volatile, voltage-controlled, and reconfigurable magnonic logic platform using a BiFeO3/La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 multiferroic heterostructure, where ferroelectric domain engineering enables deterministic tuning of magnon dispersion for advanced signal processing and neuromorphic computing applications.

Durable Enhancement of MoS2\mathbf{MoS_2} Single-Layer Photoluminescence by Ultraviolet Laser Treatment Under Ambient Conditions

This study demonstrates that non-destructive ultraviolet laser treatment under ambient conditions induces a durable, over 8-fold enhancement in the photoluminescence of single-layer MoS2MoS_2 through oxygen-mediated p-doping and Mo-O bond formation, enabling precise spatial control and long-term stability for nanophotonic applications.

Spin and orbital mixing of edge states in a quantum Hall system proximitized by a superconductor

This paper numerically investigates chiral Andreev edge states in a quantum Hall system proximitized by a superconductor, demonstrating how Andreev reflection induces edge mode mixing, how Zeeman splitting preserves spin orthogonality, and how Rashba spin-orbit coupling combined with magnetic fields drives complex spin mixing and robust transmission degeneracies.

Probing Dielectric Screening in van der Waals Heterostructures via Pressure-Tuned Exciton Rydberg Series

This paper proposes a methodology to directly measure the pressure-dependent dielectric constant of hexagonal boron nitride by analyzing the pressure-induced shifts in the exciton Rydberg series of encapsulated monolayer WSe2_2 within a van der Waals heterostructure.
