This paper proposes and numerically validates, via DMRG simulations of a bilayer Hubbard model, that doping a featureless Mott insulator with symmetry provides a natural platform for realizing a primary charge- superconducting phase at zero temperature, distinct from the conventional charge- state found in its counterpart.
This study demonstrates that selectively functionalizing the edges of graphene nanoribbons with hydroxyl groups significantly enhances graphene-water interfacial thermal conductance by over eightfold while largely preserving intrinsic in-plane thermal conductivity, offering a superior alternative to surface functionalization.
This review explores the landscape of "super-Mossian" dielectric materials that defy the empirical Moss rule by combining high refractive indices with wide optical transparency, explaining their electronic origins and computational discovery while highlighting their potential to overcome performance limits in advanced photonic devices.
This study demonstrates the synthesis of large-area, high-quality quasi-free-standing monolayer graphene via the intercalation of two-dimensional tin at the graphene/SiC interface, revealing a diffusion-driven growth mechanism and dynamic structural coupling that enables tunable strain engineering for next-generation quantum materials.
This paper introduces a scanning-probe-based manipulation scheme using nanostructured metal rotors to enable in situ, continuous post-fabrication twist control and direct imaging of moiré crystals, overcoming the fixed-angle limitations of conventional assembly methods while preserving sample quality for comprehensive multi-modal characterization.
This paper demonstrates that generalized higher-form symmetries, exemplified by axion electrodynamics, drive a novel self-similar inverse cascade that organizes non-equilibrium turbulent systems into large-scale coherent structures through universal scaling behavior.
This study demonstrates that while amorphous topological insulator nanowires retain robust Aharanov-Bohm oscillations and a perfectly transmitted mode at low energies due to chiral or statistical time-reversal symmetry, high levels of amorphicity destroy these features, leading to nonquantized resonances associated with a transition to a trivial insulating phase.
The authors propose a pair spin-orbit interaction mechanism derived from a mesoscopic many-particle Rashba Hamiltonian to explain fast, sub-picosecond intravalley exciton spin relaxation in monolayer MoSe at temperatures above 77 K, driven by local electric fields from dielectric asymmetries, while noting this effect is negligible in other transition metal dichalcogenides with larger bright-dark splitting.
This paper presents a unified formulation and explicit computations for intrinsic non-Hermitian topological phases, distinguishing them from extrinsic phases by utilizing natural homomorphisms to demonstrate that intrinsic phases possess no Hermitian counterparts.
This study presents a multiscale, experimentally anchored computational framework revealing that interlayer pores play a minimal role in water diffusion through hydrated Na-MMT at densities of 0.8–1.3 g/cm³, with transport primarily dominated by free pores and successfully capturing the material's anisotropic behavior.
