This paper presents a systematic design and comparative analysis of four current-to-voltage amplifier architectures optimized for break junction techniques, evaluating their sensitivity, noise performance, and dynamic range to provide practical guidelines for selecting amplification schemes in quantum transport experiments.
This paper develops a configuration space method to calculate binding energies of exciton complexes in quasi-1D and quasi-2D semiconductors, revealing a universal crossover where trions are more stable than biexcitons in strongly confined structures with small reduced masses, while the opposite holds for less confined structures with large reduced masses.
This paper develops a theoretical framework for magnetic-field-induced Wigner crystallization in charged interlayer excitons within transition-metal-dichalcogenide heterobilayers, deriving key energy ratios, generalizing effective g-factors, and proposing experimental protocols to observe this phase transition through magneto-photoluminescence.
This study utilizes density functional theory and Wannier-based modeling to demonstrate that the electronic reconstruction in the commensurate charge-density-wave phase of 1T-TaS arises directly from lattice-driven Star-of-David distortions and band folding, offering a microscopic explanation for features previously attributed to Fermi surface nesting.
These lecture notes introduce the thermodynamics of small quantum systems by explaining how thermodynamic laws emerge from quantum theory, modeling open systems via Markovian master equations, and examining task-oriented applications and the role of fluctuations.
This study demonstrates that leveraging the Peierls-like lattice instability of a structurally modulated van der Waals TaCo2Te2 substrate enables precise directional locking and stable epitaxial growth of symmetry-mismatched CoxTey epilayers, offering a new strategy for designing diverse multi-dimensional heterostructures without extensive surface treatments.
This paper identifies and classifies topologically protected singularities in transdimensional plasmonic films arising from nonlocal electromagnetic responses, which induce exceptionally large Goos-Hänchen shifts in the visible range and offer new avenues for quantum material development.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that the Chiral Induced Spin Selectivity effect arises from the coordinated necessity of molecular chirality to break spin degeneracy and the presence of dissipation to generate non-vanishing spin polarization.
This paper resolves the paradox of superballistic conduction occurring at near-zero temperatures in electron fluids by demonstrating that treating electrons as fermions with tomographic dynamics—allowing only head-on collisions—rather than as classical particles, explains the phenomenon and its distinction from conventional fluid behavior.
This paper demonstrates that contact engineering in thick CoSnS crystals enables the separation of intrinsic momentum-space Berry-curvature contributions from domain-mediated and extrinsic effects in the anomalous Hall conductivity by utilizing depth-distributed current flow to isolate single-domain responses.
