This first-principles study proposes two newly synthesized gold monolayer phases, goldene-I and goldene-II, as promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, demonstrating their metallic nature, structural stability, and high volumetric capacities with goldene-II reaching 0.783 Ah/cm³ and goldene-I exhibiting ultra-low diffusion barriers for rapid ion transport.
This study demonstrates that in large-angle helical twisted trilayer graphene, a moiré potential generated at the hBN-aligned top layer can electrostatically modulate a spatially decoupled, structurally unmoiréd twisted bilayer subsystem, revealing that moiré effects can extend beyond their structural interfaces through remote coupling.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that VO-based altermagnets, modeled via a six-orbital framework, robustly exhibit spin-polarized specular Andreev reflection at superconductor interfaces, offering a viable platform for generating energy-entangled electron pairs through a proposed multiterminal detection setup.
This paper proposes and analytically derives a mechanism for generating phonon angular momentum in mixed-parity and spin-orbit-coupled s-wave superconductors driven by a supercurrent, while also providing a physical interpretation of the effect.
This paper demonstrates that in non-Hermitian impurity scattering, late-time dynamics are governed by "dynamical poles" derived from the analytic continuation of the Green's function rather than static bound states, revealing a fundamental breakdown of the Hermitian correspondence where isolated exponential signals uniquely identify bound states.
This paper demonstrates a violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law in a GaAs hydrodynamic mesoscopic channel by using micrometer-resolution photoluminescence thermometry to observe the distinct relaxation of electric and thermal currents, particularly highlighting the critical role of narrow constrictions in this phenomenon.
This paper demonstrates that in hybrid systems of quantum dots coupled to a finite-length superconductor, the existence and number of Poor Man's Majorana modes are highly sensitive to the superconductor's length, oscillating with the Fermi wavelength and precluding the formation of perfectly localized end modes, thereby necessitating a redefined "sweet spot" for practical applications.
This study demonstrates that the honeycomb CuSe monolayer on Cu(111) undergoes a reversible structural transition between stripe and hole phases, which is driven by the interplay of selenium coverage and annealing temperature.
Using tensor network methods, this study demonstrates that bosonic topological edge modes persist in a ladder quantum paramagnet despite strong many-body interactions, resolving the discrepancy between theoretical predictions and experimental observations by showing these signatures survive even when non-interacting quasi-particle theories break down.
This paper proposes using optically hyperpolarized levitated solids, such as pentacene-doped naphthalene, to enable advanced applications like multi-spin matter-wave interferometry for testing objective collapse models and ultra-high-frequency magic angle spinning, while overcoming limitations inherent to traditional solid-state spin defect systems.
