This study reports the discovery of both field-odd and field-free superconducting diode effects in centrosymmetric nanoflakes, establishing air-stable molybdenum carbide as a promising platform for nonreciprocal quantum electronics.
This paper demonstrates a nonequilibrium analogue of Kramers turnover in a driven-dissipative Kerr parametric oscillator by theoretically establishing a method to decouple activation barriers from damping via drive-controlled rescaling and experimentally verifying the resulting nonmonotonic switching rate crossover in a micro-electromechanical device.
This paper investigates charge transport in a trivial-topological-trivial Chern insulator junction using a Landauer-based approach, demonstrating that mass inversion induces Klein tunneling and deriving closed-form expressions for linear and nonlinear conductances that reveal optimal conditions for enhanced rectification despite dephasing effects.
This paper develops a theoretical framework for helical multilayer graphene that demonstrates how supermoiré relaxation reconstructs the system into locally periodic domains, enabling the derivation of domain-resolved effective Hamiltonians that explain the decomposition of the low-energy spectrum into folded Dirac sectors and predict gate-tunable valley topological responses.
This study provides the first direct atomic-scale evidence linking an incommensurate charge density wave to a reversible metal-semiconductor transition in the conductive metal-organic framework Pr3HHTP2, revealing how guest water molecules stabilize the modulated structure to drive this electronic phase change.
This paper presents a versatile post-doping method using low-kinetic energy dopant beams and high-flux chalcogen beams to achieve controlled, substitutional doping in 2D transition metal dichalcogenides, resulting in significant electronic property enhancements and position-selective patterning for next-generation electronics.
This paper theoretically demonstrates a tunable quasiparticle-mediated thermal diode effect in inversion symmetry-broken Weyl Josephson junctions, where an external Zeeman field induces asymmetric thermal currents that can be controlled by the superconducting phase difference and junction length to enable functional thermal switching.
This paper demonstrates that quantum confinement in a two-dimensional nodal topological superconductor can gap out bulk bands while preserving edge states to generate Majorana zero modes, thereby enabling the construction of quasi-one-dimensional topological superconducting phases characterized by a quantized conductance of .
This paper proposes a method to achieve photo-induced superconducting diode effects by breaking time-reversal symmetry through photon exchange with chiral cavity modes, thereby embedding chirality into the many-body ground state to enable non-invasive, ultrafast control of nonreciprocal responses in quantum circuits.
This paper proposes a theoretical scheme to realize two-dimensional higher-order Weyl semimetals with topological corner states by coupling a trilayer topological insulator with a d-wave altermagnet, which gaps helical edge states while preserving Weyl points governed by subspace topology.
