This paper demonstrates that the helicity and polarization orientation of bicircular pump-probe fields can be used to control and manipulate the high-harmonic generation of Weyl semimetals, revealing a sensitive probe for chiral quantum dynamics and electron-hole decoherence that enables light-driven control of topological currents.
This review reassesses nanothermodynamics and Hill's subdivision potential, demonstrating their necessity for resolving thermodynamic heterogeneity, stabilizing finite Ising chains, extending entropy to be exactly extensive, and providing a counterexample to reversible statistical mechanics through irreversible entropy maximization.
This review presents a chemistry-driven perspective on altermagnetism, exploring its fundamental symmetry and electronic origins, surveying material families and characterization methods, and discussing computational discovery strategies and potential technological applications.
This paper derives a deterministic two-scale continuum limit for the electrostatic energy of stationary, ergodic random charge density fields, demonstrating that while microscopic fluctuations can alter local energy contributions, the total energy converges to a sum of the ensemble-averaged microscopic cell energy and the macroscopic electrostatic field energy.
This study demonstrates that an isolated Fe-dehydroindigo coordination polymer exhibits Haldane-chain physics, characterized by a gapped spin-1 ground state and antiferromagnetic coupling, through a combination of density-functional-theory calculations and advanced many-body simulations.
This paper identifies surface defects as the cause of the elusive surface magnetic gap in MnBiTe by driving topological states into subsurface layers and suppressing exchange interactions, and proposes that tuning surface electrostatic potential via external or interfacial fields can restore the gap to enable robust quantized anomalous transport.
This paper demonstrates that coupling 2D perovskites with monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides enables highly bright momentum-indirect interlayer exciton emission with quantum yields exceeding 60%, a phenomenon driven by self-trapping induced by strong exciton-phonon coupling in the soft perovskite lattice.
This paper presents a mixed quantum-classical density-matrix equation of motion for open nonequilibrium molecular systems derived from the pseudoparticle nonequilibrium Green's function (PP-NEGF) method, highlighting its distinctions from prior formulations and demonstrating that standard fewest-switches surface hopping approximations are unreasonable when adiabatic surfaces approach each other.
This study demonstrates a high-gain, self-powered WS photodetector utilizing a metallic FeGaTe contact to create a built-in field and trap-assisted photogating, achieving exceptional responsivity and detectivity across multiple wavelengths.
This mini-review synthesizes recent advancements in understanding the layer-dependent vibrational, excitonic, and magneto-optical properties of the air-stable, A-type antiferromagnetic semiconductor CrSBr, highlighting its potential for applications in spintronic and quantum photonic technologies.
