This study demonstrates that polystyrene micro-humps on a PDMS surface exhibit anomalous electrowetting behavior exceeding classical Lippmann-Young predictions due to physicochemical heterogeneity and contact line dynamics, leading to the introduction of a surface parameter in the equation to account for pinning and depinning effects.
This paper investigates a non-reciprocal Haldane model that exhibits time-reversal symmetry-protected exceptional rings and non-chiral ephemeral edge states, revealing a unique "Russian doll"-like cascade of exceptional points and a tunable regime for dynamical edge state stabilization.
This study experimentally demonstrates the Onsager reciprocity of orbital transport in an orbital Edelstein system using nonlocal measurements, revealing that direct and inverse orbital-charge conversion processes yield identical voltages and that the orbital decay length exhibits distinct temperature and thickness dependencies compared to spin transport.
This paper proposes Sondheimer magneto-oscillations as a robust, semiclassical alternative to conventional quantum oscillations for probing Fermi surface reconstruction in underdoped cuprates at elevated temperatures, demonstrating that their distinct spectral features and phase shifts can effectively differentiate between unreconstructed, spin-density-wave, and fractionalized Fermi liquid scenarios.
This review article examines the capabilities of the AlGaAs semiconductor platform for integrated quantum photonics, highlighting its unique combination of mature fabrication, electrical injection, and strong nonlinearities to enable compact, scalable quantum light sources, versatile photonic circuits, and advanced quantum state engineering.
This study establishes a high-throughput, data-driven methodology that correlates fabrication parameters and microstructural features across thousands of Josephson junctions to identify specific structural origins of two-level system defects, ultimately achieving a two-thirds reduction in defect density through optimized electrode fabrication.
This study demonstrates that strain-induced nanoscale ripples in ultrathin SbTe on graphene close the hybridization gap of the flat interface, transforming the system from a gapped state into a complex "Helical Metal" with restored spin polarization and dense minibands, thereby offering a geometric pathway to engineer advanced spintronic states.
This paper demonstrates that non-Hermitian topology and the non-Hermitian skin effect in quantum spin-Hall systems arise specifically from directional transport imbalances caused by spin-selective coupling or Zeeman fields, providing a sensitive transport-based method to detect intrinsic edge-state polarization.
This paper demonstrates the shaping of non-reciprocal caustic spin-wave beams in yttrium iron garnet films using a nano-constricted waveguide, supported by a near-field diffraction model and experimental validation via Brillouin light spectroscopy, to advance sub-micron wave-based computing and magnonic devices.
This paper presents a first-principles-based microscopic theory that calculates electron-phonon coupling in twisted bilayer graphene for arbitrary twist angles without periodic supercells, revealing that the coupling is strongly enhanced near the magic angle due to a resonance between electronic bandwidth and phonon frequencies, thereby predicting superconductivity up to .
