This paper introduces an atomically informed dynamic Frenkel-Kontorova model that quantifies the superlubricity of heterodeformed bilayer graphene by linking macroscopic interface friction to the kinetic properties of interface dislocations, enabling high-throughput prediction of friction drag coefficients across complex deformation spaces.
This paper investigates how electron correlations induce resonant enhancements in the Edelstein and inverse-Edelstein effects via in-plane chiral-spin modes in two-dimensional electron systems, demonstrating their potential for resonant charge-to-spin conversion and directional spin control in spintronics applications.
This study elucidates the mechanism of three-magnon splitting in synthetic antiferromagnet spin wave conduits, revealing that low-order optical spin waves decay into parallel channels of non-degenerate acoustic doublets with standing wave characteristics, a finding with significant implications for nonlinear microwave signal processing applications.
Using in situ scanning electron microscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, this study demonstrates that graphene etching within the van der Waals gap on platinum is primarily limited by mass transport, yet once overcome, the confined space acts as an effective nanoreactor that enables unique reaction pathways and enhanced rates for molecules like O2, H2, and CO.
By utilizing ionic liquid gating on homoepitaxial SrTiO thin films, researchers achieved a superconducting transition temperature of up to 503 mK and observed consistent BCS scaling and paraconductivity behavior, marking a significant improvement over similar systems on single-crystal substrates.
This paper investigates how electron-electron interactions and spin-orbit coupling induce spin polarization and enhance spin transitions in the even-parity Andreev pair qubit regime of quantum dot Josephson junctions, revealing mechanisms for both decoherence and potential spin control without external magnetic fields.
This paper demonstrates that Sn-InAs nanowire transmons exhibit gate-tunable anharmonicity ranging from the charging energy down to values smaller than , a behavior that surpasses the short-junction model's lower limit while maintaining coherent qubit operation.
This paper derives the Peierls gauge description for cavity quantum materials and demonstrates that while the Peierls substitution offers a valid low-energy single-band approximation, it fails to capture essential self-polarization corrections and interband transitions present in the full theory, highlighting how different gauge choices define distinct light-matter partitions that significantly impact physical observables and orbital truncations.
This theoretical study demonstrates that while intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in 2D FeGeXTe monolayers are too weak to stabilize noncollinear states, frustrated out-of-plane DMI promotes atomic-scale 3 magnetic textures and nanoskyrmion-like lattices, which can be further stabilized and tuned via strain or electric fields.
This paper theoretically investigates how magnetic fields modulate spin-valley resolved tunneling and conductance in WSe via the Zeeman effect, revealing enhanced transmission through the K valley and demonstrating a mechanism for controlling fermion channels to advance valleytronics applications.
