This paper investigates the inductive coupling between a quantum LC resonator and a graphene-based Josephson junction, revealing that the system's current-phase relation can exhibit spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking and predicting the low-energy spectrum of hybridized light-matter excitations.
This paper demonstrates that super-resolution fluorescence fluctuation microscopy is a rapid and effective method for imaging localized exciton instability caused by interfacial disorder in monolayer semiconductors, offering a practical alternative to atomic force microscopy and hyperspectral imaging for evaluating material quality in nanoscale devices.
This paper characterizes the electronic entropy and specific heat of square, honeycomb, and triangular lattices under magnetic fields, revealing that these thermodynamic observables exhibit fractal self-similarity and distinct oscillations that serve as high-resolution spectroscopic fingerprints for the underlying Hofstadter butterfly spectra.
This paper demonstrates that -wave altermagnets exhibit spin-selective perfect elliptic dichroism and generate a leading-order, perfectly spin-polarized third-order nonlinear photocurrent driven by the anisotropy of their Dirac cones, offering a promising mechanism for future photo-excited spintronic applications.
This paper presents a framework that combines transfer matrix methods with differential evolution algorithms and regularization techniques to optimize the design of multi-barrier graphene systems, enabling precise control over electron transmission profiles while balancing accuracy and structural complexity.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that magneto-current-phase relation measurements in proximitized planar Josephson junctions serve as a versatile spectroscopic tool to reconstruct ground-state phases, quantify Rashba spin-orbit coupling, diagnose topological gap closings, and characterize the Josephson diode effect.
This paper introduces a covariant rank-4 tensor gauge field theory that naturally generates fractonic string excitations and a novel generalized dipole conservation law through symmetry principles, while also revealing a deep connection to linearized area-metric gravity.
This paper demonstrates that introducing non-Hermitian dynamics into altermagnets and unconventional magnets generates novel, symmetry-dependent spin susceptibility components and selective spin gain/loss profiles, offering a new mechanism to manipulate spin accumulation through controlled dissipation.
This paper introduces DeepConf, a machine learning framework that leverages accelerated Density Functional Theory to generate training data and reconstruct the three-dimensional structures of biomolecules like peptides and glycans from Scanning Tunneling Microscopy images with high accuracy.
This study numerically demonstrates that vertically oriented hollow gold nanocavities coupled to monolayer MoS2 can spectrally tune and significantly enhance A and B excitonic emission through geometry-controlled plasmon resonance, achieving up to 144-fold photoluminescence increases and enabling precise engineering of excitonic peak ratios for advanced valleytronic and sensing applications.
