This paper investigates how ultra-low-temperature molecular beam epitaxy growth pressure and substrate temperature influence the self-assembly, optical properties, and crystal quality of telecom-relevant color centers in silicon, demonstrating that optimized vacuum conditions are critical for suppressing background luminescence and enabling high-quality quantum photonic devices.
This paper extends the application of test particle sum rules to optimize the free parameters in the Lutsko formulation of White-Bear and White-Bear mark II fundamental measure theory functionals, resulting in more accurate and consistent classical density functionals for hard-sphere fluids.
This perspective paper reviews recent theoretical, numerical, and experimental advances demonstrating that topological defects, traditionally used to explain crystalline properties, also provide a fundamental framework for understanding the mechanical response and complex dynamics of amorphous solids, while highlighting key open questions and future research directions.
This paper reports the first experimental observation and deliberate engineering of the elusive ferromagnetic Kondo effect in a triangulene dimer molecular system, where low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy and many-body calculations confirm the coexistence of ferromagnetic and overscreened Kondo regimes exhibiting singular Fermi-liquid behavior.
This paper proposes a model of a three-dimensional helical second-order topological superconductor constructed from coupled Rashba nanowires, which hosts gapped bulk and surface states while supporting gapless helical parafermionic hinge modes along specific boundary paths, generalizing the noninteracting Majorana hinge modes found in the limit.
This study demonstrates that vibronic coupling in hexagonal boron nitride quantum emitters causes a significant, temperature-dependent rotation of the transition dipole moment, challenging the static dipole assumption and revealing a fundamental limit for polarization fidelity in solid-state quantum networks.
This study demonstrates that the topological magneto-optical response in even-layered MnBiTe thin films can be switched between axion insulating and Chern insulating states with quantized Faraday rotation by manipulating the relative spin alignment of outermost septuple-layers, enabling thickness-dependent multilevel optical switching.
This paper demonstrates that density-density interactions can transfer bath-induced non-reciprocity to uncoupled degrees of freedom in open quantum systems, establishing the exactly solvable Hatsugai-Kohmoto model as a minimal platform for understanding interaction-mediated directional drift in both all-to-all and local interaction regimes.
This paper employs a non-Hermitian framework to identify the exceptional point as the transition between strong and weak coupling in graphene plasmon-phonon systems, demonstrating enhanced sensitivity to perturbations via coupling strength, Fermi level modulation, and incident angle variations.
This paper demonstrates that a two-dimensional plasmonic Lieb lattice composed of graphene disks supports a quantum spin Hall analog with nontrivial topological order and helical boundary modes, driven by intrinsic next-nearest-neighbor coupling and a synthetic time-reversal symmetry.
