This study demonstrates that double-gated van der Waals devices enable independent two-dimensional control of Li+ ion density and transport rate, creating hybrid ionic-electronic transistors with memory and logic capabilities that overcome the limitations of traditional one-dimensional ion transport control.
This paper establishes a symmetry-constrained, eleven-band Slater-Koster tight-binding model for centrosymmetric 1T-MX monolayers that successfully links their microscopic electronic structure and quantum geometry to measurable optical responses, demonstrating that optical spectral weight serves as a direct experimental probe of the quantum metric in these materials.
This study reveals that polarization reversal in wurtzite Zn1-xMgxO thin films occurs through a nucleation-dominated mechanism involving vertically extended columnar filaments with negligible lateral domain wall mobility, contrasting sharply with the growth-mediated dynamics typical of classical perovskite ferroelectrics.
This paper presents a many-body theoretical framework that derives a nonlocal electron-phonon coupling vertex incorporating excitonic effects to ensure thermodynamic detailed balance, demonstrating through graphene calculations that these excitonic enhancements can overcome phase-space reductions to significantly increase both electronic and phononic linewidths.
This paper proposes that spatially resolved scanning tunneling microscopy with inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy can detect Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations in the local dynamical spin response of Kitaev spin liquids, providing a finite-energy, spatially resolved signature of emergent fluxes and their mutual statistics with itinerant Majorana fermions without requiring individual anyon manipulation.
This paper theoretically investigates a one-dimensional trimerized Su--Schrieffer--Heeger chain with nonreciprocal Rashba spin-orbit coupling, revealing a rich phase diagram of and anti- transitions and establishing a spin-resolved bulk-edge correspondence where bulk and edge states can belong to distinct symmetry classes.
This paper utilizes scattering theory to explain the turnover effect in strongly coupled non-equilibrium quantum systems as a consequence of total reflection preventing particle interaction, and proposes a quantum tunneling protocol to overcome this barrier and restore maximum heat and particle currents.
This paper experimentally demonstrates and theoretically models spectrally anisotropic transition radiation in biaxial van der Waals crystals, revealing that the radiation's spectral properties depend on the orientation of the optical field relative to the material's principal dielectric axes and establishing transition radiation as a sensitive probe for axis-dependent dielectric responses.
This paper presents a strategy to overcome the scalability limits of sub-20 nm Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory by utilizing a 3D storage layer with enhanced shape anisotropy to maintain thermal stability at sub-10 nm nodes while achieving faster switching speeds at reduced voltages.
This paper presents a microscopic theory and numerical simulations demonstrating that repulsive Coulomb interactions in depleted quantum Hall edge channels can stabilize long-lived Laughlin pairs of electrons, suggesting that their creation and detection are feasible with existing single-electron circuit technology.
