This paper demonstrates that multi-site mesoscopic quantum Hall circuits with four or more sites exhibit interaction-driven non-Fermi liquid physics and unique quantum-critical points due to higher-order backscattering processes, establishing them as a versatile platform for simulating quantum critical phenomena that can be experimentally controlled and restored to a boundary sine-Gordon description via multichannel channel looping.
This paper presents a symmetry indicator framework that efficiently predicts the topological nature of superlattice-induced minibands with spin-orbit coupling using only the parent material's properties, thereby guiding the design of topological heterostructures even from non-topological starting materials.
This study demonstrates that oxygen and fluorine functionalization, combined with cryogenic temperatures, significantly lowers the sulfur sputtering energy threshold in MoS via the formation of volatile products, thereby widening the ion energy window for selective, damage-controlled chalcogen removal in transition metal dichalcogenide plasma processing.
This paper presents a novel setup utilizing a MEMS actuator to apply tailored in-situ mechanical strain to freestanding ferroic thin films, demonstrating successful control over the coupled ferroelectric and spin cycloidal configurations in an 80 nm BiFeO3 multiferroic film.
This paper introduces a data-driven design framework that successfully adapts soft clamping to aperiodic quasicrystal architectures, enabling the creation of nanomechanical resonators with record-high quality factors () and exceptional force sensitivity, thereby establishing a new paradigm beyond traditional periodic structures.
This paper proposes a new classification framework for magnon thermal Hall systems, demonstrating that antiferromagnets with multiple magnetic sublattices naturally host non-Abelian SU(N) gauge fields that circumvent the symmetry-enforced cancellations limiting ferromagnets, thereby establishing a robust mechanism for thermal Hall transport in materials like coplanar 120° antiferromagnets.
This paper reviews various extensions of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model—including increased dimensionality, enlarged unit cells, and added physical terms—by discussing specific case studies and comprehensively elaborating on their resulting topological properties.
This paper demonstrates that electrostatic gating, interlayer bias, and homogeneous strain offer complementary control over ballistic transport in bilayer graphene junctions by manipulating symmetry constraints, opening tunable gaps, and reshaping angular transmission windows, while identifying a distinct conductance threshold as a key experimental fingerprint of the system's multiband structure.
This study demonstrates that in ultrapure silicon, high-harmonic generation yield increases at lower temperatures because thermally driven incoherent phonons act as a primary source of electron-hole decoherence that suppresses harmonic emission.
This paper investigates the massive dynamics and cyclotron resonance of skyrmions in two-sublattice ferrimagnetic films, demonstrating how their motion and excitation spectra are significantly altered by rare-earth concentration, particularly near the angular momentum compensation point.
