This paper demonstrates that twisted trilayer hexagonal boron nitride exhibits unique super Moiré domain tessellations and sliding ferroelectricity, enabling electric-field reconfigurable arrays of localized quantum dots that facilitate tunable long-range quantum state transfer for quantum technologies.
This paper investigates bound states in the continuum within a waveguide-QED system of two giant atoms, classifying them into static and oscillating types based on coupling configurations and revealing how oscillating states with multiple harmonic components can serve as promising platforms for high-capacity quantum information processing.
Neutron scattering experiments on the van der Waals antiferromagnet FePSe under uniaxial strain reveal that tensile strain induces a transition to symmetry in both magnetic order and spin excitations, providing direct evidence that the observed three-state Potts nematicity in the paramagnetic phase arises from vestigial order associated with the low-temperature zigzag antiferromagnetic state.
This study combines theory and experiment to demonstrate that a tunable p-n junction in a bilayer graphene transistor generates sub-THz photovoltage primarily through a thermoelectric mechanism, while also achieving record-low frequency plasmon resonance at 0.13 THz via band-gap-induced carrier density reduction, which enhances local electromagnetic fields and carrier temperatures.
This paper demonstrates that resonant parametric modulation of a spin-1/2 chain in a strong magnetic field, which maps to a Kitaev chain, reveals dynamical bulk signatures of nontrivial topology—such as suppressed frequency dispersion and spatial correlations near resonance—that depend on the modulation frequency and turn-on rate.
This paper demonstrates that thermal fluctuations coupled with finite extensibility fundamentally alter the Euler buckling instability of semiflexible polymers, leading to a new critical regime where the critical compressional strain increases with system size and is governed by a distinct fixed point with unique critical exponents.
This paper introduces silicon Mie voids as a novel nanophotonic platform that enables independent, subwavelength-scale tuning of both excitation enhancement and quantum-yield modulation to achieve high-density, multimodal encrypted displays with minimized optical losses.
This paper introduces a translationally invariant asymmetric-hopping effective model, corresponding to an open-system Hatano-Nelson model, to describe the bulk steady state of boundary-driven systems under current, successfully separating intrinsic current-induced effects from Joule heating and demonstrating a linear rise in effective temperature with current density.
This paper demonstrates that the interface between epitaxially grown transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers can be engineered to control the intensity and sign of Rashba spin splitting, thereby enabling highly efficient and tunable THz spintronic emitters through enhanced spin-to-charge conversion.
This paper demonstrates that the topological characteristics of Dirac points, including their emergence, annihilation, and associated winding numbers, can be dynamically characterized by analyzing the wave packet behaviors—such as Zitterbewegung and spin textures—in a graphene model with controllable third-nearest-neighboring coupling.
