This paper establishes a rigorous theoretical framework for linear viscoelasticity across the sol-gel transition, demonstrating that the continuity of dynamic moduli and their derivatives at the critical gel point necessitates symmetric relaxation dynamics, which unifies scaling laws, imposes a hyper-scaling relation, and reveals a lower bound for the critical relaxation exponent.
This paper analyzes the quantum and topological properties of graphene-based plasmonic systems across various materials, including single-layer and twisted bilayer graphene, and diverse architectures such as gratings, grids, disk chains, and kagomé lattices.
This review article synthesizes the multifractal characteristics of the non-Hermitian skin effect across single-particle, many-body, and tree models, highlighting the unique multifractality and ergodic properties of the many-body skin effect and providing an analytically solvable Cayley tree model to describe these phenomena.
This paper establishes that three-dimensional -symmetric insulators characterized by the topological invariant support a corresponding number of chiral hinge modes at surface domain walls, distinguishing these phases from stacked Chern insulators through the derivation of effective surface Hamiltonians and numerical tight-binding model demonstrations.
This paper demonstrates that shear strain-induced spin-group-symmetry breaking in collinear altermagnetic insulators enables sign-controlled charge and spin photocurrents via spin-gap asymmetry, offering a novel optical method to detect and investigate altermagnetism.
This paper presents a nanoscale surface analysis of high entropy alloys using nano-IR spectroscopy to characterize their optical properties and potential oxide formation, while proposing an extension to full 3D polarization analysis for mapping local orientational dependencies.
This paper proposes an efficient numerical method using adaptive mesh refinement to compute the -space second Chern number in four-dimensional topological systems, which outperforms existing approaches by achieving higher accuracy with fewer computations, lower memory usage, and robustness near topological phase transitions.
This study combines semi-analytic Boltzmann-Bloch modeling with experimental validation to demonstrate that the transient absorption bleach intensity in gold nanoparticles does not always linearly correlate with electron temperature and is significantly influenced by lattice heating.
This paper investigates the dynamics of massless Dirac fermions on curved surfaces with localized axial symmetry, demonstrating through numerical analysis that Gaussian and volcano-like bumps induce a linear discrete energy spectrum and enhanced probability density near the curvature while allowing free wave behavior asymptotically.
This paper presents a self-powered, filterless, on-chip full-Stokes polarimeter based on a single-layer/few-layer MoS2 homojunction that utilizes the circular photogalvanic effect and intrinsic optical anisotropy to detect all four Stokes parameters at zero bias within the 650–690 nm wavelength range, offering a compact and low-loss alternative to traditional metasurface-based devices.
