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.
This paper demonstrates a hybrid-2D excitonic metasurface platform using gate-tunable monolayer WS2 and inverse design to achieve independent, full-range control of both amplitude and phase in the visible spectrum, enabling reconfigurable wavefront shaping for applications like beam steering.
Using large-scale molecular dynamics simulations, this study reveals that physisorbed aluminum and copper nanoparticles exhibit distinct morphological and contact mechanics scaling behaviors that deviate from thermodynamic limits below a critical size of 3–6 nm, whereas larger particles display self-affine surface roughness and approach bulk-like properties.
This study reveals that while spectral properties of diffusion-limited aggregation fractals in 2D exhibit universal localization, those in 3D display a tunable localization-to-non-ergodic transition characterized by the emergence of critical states and a hierarchy of compact localized states as the fractal dimension increases.
By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations, this study reveals that the Laves-phase superconductor CsBi2 hosts a dispersionless topological flat band and coupled type-I and type-II saddle points that collectively generate a large electron density of states, offering a novel mechanism for enhancing many-body interactions in three-dimensional systems with strong spin-orbit coupling.
