Unveiling Davydov-Split Excitons in a Template-Engineered Molecular-Graphene Heterostructure

This study demonstrates that a robust nanofabrication protocol restoring atomic-scale purity to epitaxial graphene on SiC enables the emergence of macroscopic excitonic coherence in HMTP overlayers, revealing a Davydov-split vibronic manifold where a dark excitonic branch dominates radiative relaxation via a polaron-mediated pathway.

Thermal conductivity and tunable thermal anisotropy of magnetic CrSBr monolayer

First-principles calculations reveal that monolayer CrSBr exhibits significant thermal anisotropy (with a κxx/κyy\kappa_{xx}/\kappa_{yy} ratio of approximately 1.8) driven by phonon velocities and lifetimes, which can be further tuned by controlling flake size to suppress long mean free path phonons.

Gate Stack Engineering for High-Mobility and Low-Noise SiMOS Quantum Devices

This study systematically demonstrates that optimizing gate-stack engineering—specifically through higher ALD temperatures for Al2_2O3_3, the use of HfO2_2 for defect passivation, and poly-Si gates—significantly enhances carrier mobility and reduces charge noise in SiMOS quantum devices, thereby establishing a clear pathway toward scalable, high-fidelity silicon spin-qubit platforms.

Millisecond-long electron spin lifetime in CsPbI3_3 perovskite nanocrystals revealed by optically detected magnetic resonance

This study utilizes optically detected magnetic resonance to reveal that CsPbI3_3 perovskite nanocrystals exhibit an exceptionally long millisecond-scale electron spin relaxation time at 1.6 K, attributing the observed temperature dependence to a two-LO-phonon Raman process and low-field nuclear field fluctuations.
