This paper presents a comprehensive framework combining density functional theory and a "divide and conquer" combinatorial approach to predict all possible stacking configurations of identical monolayers, explaining experimental optical responses and enabling the design of functional layered materials.
This review examines how focused electron and ion beam-induced deposition (FEBID and FIBID) enables the 3D nanoprinting of functional magnetic and superconducting materials, exploring the underlying mechanisms, emergent physical phenomena arising from complex geometries, and future prospects for high-density quantum device integration.
This paper introduces a variational product-state framework for simulating nonlinear quantum multi-spin dynamics in materials with arbitrary spin by excluding intersite entanglement while retaining local quantum effects, thereby enabling efficient simulations and clarifying the relationship between quantum Landau-Lifshitz and Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamics.
This paper demonstrates a field-free, geometrically symmetric superconducting diode based on a conventional Al/AlOx/Al tunnel junction that utilizes microwave biharmonic driving to independently control and rectify both dissipationless supercurrent and dissipative quasiparticle channels, achieving record-high rectification efficiencies and enabling a versatile "absolute diode" for low-power cryogenic electronics.
This study demonstrates large, gate-tunable second-order and third-order nonlinear Hall effects in dual-gated BiSbTeSe2 topological insulator devices, with the second-order effect showing superior generation efficiency up to room temperature and distinct scattering mechanisms identified for both orders.
This paper proposes a symmetry-complete effective model and a dynamical mechanism involving phase-seeded Kerr four-wave mixing instabilities to explain and control transverse optical Hall rectification in asymmetric gold gratings, where a population imbalance of mirror-symmetric plasmonic modes generates the necessary mirror-odd factor to drive a side-jump-like current.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that rolling graphene nanoribbons into few-turn nanoscrolls triggers a giant, nearly twentyfold enhancement in longitudinal conductance by transforming localized edge states into 1D-like conducting channels through interlayer hopping, establishing a geometry-driven mechanism for tuning quantum transport.
This paper demonstrates that intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, previously neglected in graphitic systems due to its minimal impact on monolayer graphene, significantly alters the phase diagram, Fermi surfaces, and magnetization density-dependence in multilayer graphene stacks through a unique Rashba-like interlayer mechanism.
This paper proposes and experimentally supports a mechanism for magnetic-field-induced correlated states in the dispersive minibands of graphene on hexagonal boron nitride, where open orbits near van Hove singularities suppress carrier propagation to favor Coulomb interactions, leading to incipient fractional Chern insulator behavior distinct from the conventional flat-band paradigm.
This paper presents a compact analytical model for inelastic x-ray scattering from spatially localized excitons, which, when combined with first-principles calculations for lithium fluoride, demonstrates that detailed single-particle wave functions are essential for achieving qualitative agreement with experimental data.
