This paper demonstrates that low-symmetry epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) conductors can exhibit driven time-crystalline behavior under optical pumping, where strong anomalous-velocity nonlinearities enable subwavelength nanoparticles to overcome dissipation, achieve parametric amplification, and even render probe extinction negative.
This paper presents a cold-insertable scanning probe microscope integrated with a dual-strategy design of mechanical stiffening and magnetic-field-compatible damping that achieves picometer stability and ultra-low electron temperatures in dry dilution refrigerators, overcoming the traditional trade-offs between vibration isolation and thermalization.
This paper reports the experimental observation of nonlocal ferron-drag thermoelectricity in a homogeneous metal adjacent to a ferroelectric insulator, where conduction electrons remotely excite collective ferroelectric modes to induce heat absorption and release, revealing unexpected thickness-dependent interactions that could revolutionize thermoelectric device design.
This paper demonstrates that intercalating a WSe monolayer into bilayer graphene creates a synthetic system capable of exhibiting a robust nonlocal Rashba-Edelstein effect and a layer-selective chirality switch, enabling distinct spintronic functionalities through simple electrode configurations.
This paper demonstrates that the Hodge-de Rham decomposition of Berry curvature provides a unified geometric framework for Bloch band transport, where the harmonic sector governs noiseless topological responses (like the anomalous Hall effect and chiral anomaly) while the exact and co-exact sectors drive geometric fluctuations, thereby enabling current-noise spectroscopy to distinguish global band topology from local band geometry in both two and three dimensions.
This paper proposes a minimal two-dimensional lattice model of a multiferroic altermagnet where an external electric field dynamically entangles altermagnetic order, electric polarization, and spin-polarized transport, enabling the simultaneous switching of all three properties for next-generation low-power, ultrafast spintronic devices.
This paper demonstrates that synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattices serve as a tunable platform for generating helical magnon frequency combs, where nonlinear coupling between helical edge states and skyrmion gyration produces strongly localized, frequency-selective signals that can be precisely controlled via interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling.
This paper reports the experimental observation of tunable Fano resonances and nonlinear frequency locking in a graphene-SiNx hybrid nanomechanical resonator, where a DC gate voltage controls the Fano asymmetry and strong driving stabilizes the graphene mode into discrete frequency plateaus via interaction with the SiNx modes.
This paper presents a physical reservoir computing system based on a magnonic-optoelectronic oscillator that utilizes a fiber-optic delay line for short-term memory and yttrium-iron garnet spin wave nonlinearity for high-dimensional mapping, demonstrating effective performance on benchmark tasks through both experimental validation and numerical modeling.
This paper demonstrates that the relative orientation of current and in-plane magnetic field in lateral NbTi/PtTe2/NbTi Josephson junctions can be used to selectively break or restore parity-time () symmetry, enabling a reconfigurable interferometer that switches between symmetric and asymmetric supercurrent interference states.
