This study reveals a novel "ferric" topological transition in single-layer Janus MnSeTe driven by higher-order exchange interactions that specifically modify the Bloch point while leaving skyrmion stability largely governed by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, establishing the material as a robust platform for 2D skyrmionics with exceptionally high energy barriers.
This paper proposes a generalized Kuramoto-Sivashinsky-type equation based on irradiation-induced anisotropic plastic flow ("ion-hammering") to provide a comprehensive theoretical model that quantitatively and qualitatively explains the formation of nano-patterns on irradiated silicon surfaces across various ion species and energies.
This paper demonstrates through calculations on a FeGeTe/CrGeTe interface that high-order ring-like bimerons and antibimerons possess significantly enhanced, entropy-dominated lifetimes that vastly exceed those of comparable skyrmions, particularly at room temperature.
This paper demonstrates that controlled symmetry breaking in finite-size Mie-resonator arrays can paradoxically enhance optical confinement and Q-factors by strengthening nonlocal coupling pathways, thereby unifying scattering and diffraction theories to enable advanced light manipulation and polarization conversion in nonlocal metasurfaces.
This paper develops a quantization theory for screened plasmons in a periodically modulated graphene sheet on a metallic substrate, demonstrating that the resulting one-dimensional plasmonic crystal supports nontrivial topological bands and edge states that undergo a topological phase transition as modulation increases.
This paper introduces a general "tubular response function" framework to evaluate electrostatic screening in nanotubes with arbitrary electronic properties, demonstrating that metallic carbon nanotubes screen ion interactions almost identically to ideal metals due to quantum confinement and suppressed Friedel oscillations.
This study employs a machine learning interatomic potential trained on over 9,000 configurations to simulate large-scale molecular dynamics of silicon carbonitride systems, revealing that thermal treatment drives phase separation where defective carbon rings mediate the nucleation of graphene-like sheets within the amorphous matrix, thereby explaining the material's unique hybrid properties.
This paper presents an AI-driven robotic system that automates the high-precision fabrication of two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures using reinforcement learning, successfully demonstrating the scalable production of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene exhibiting unconventional superconductivity.
Using nano-ARPES, researchers demonstrate that while the momentum positioning of valence band maxima in twisted bilayer WSe2 remains fixed, the twist angle can be used to tune the energetic separation between hole bands at the K and Γ points by over 100 meV, offering a pathway to control band gaps and spin-dependent electron-phonon coupling in 2D devices.
This paper demonstrates that combining an electrostatic barrier with elliptically polarized light in monolayer MoS enables precise, field-tunable control over spin-valley transport, allowing the system to be switched between broadband valley filtering and resonance-selective operation.
