This paper proposes that rhombohedral graphene offers a unique platform to directly measure the Bogoliubov–de Gennes Chern number of chiral superconductivity via thermal Hall conductance, bypassing the limitations of magnetic imaging and complex normal-state reconstruction by leveraging the material's specific electronic structure and existing millikelvin thermometry capabilities.
This paper investigates Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory on a strip using the Symanzik framework to derive admissible boundary conditions, establish two boundary current algebras, and calculate the Casimir interaction energy, revealing a transition from long-range power-law forces in the Maxwell limit to Yukawa-suppressed interactions due to topological mass in the full theory.
This paper explains the large gate-voltage-induced g-factor variations observed in germanium quantum dots by demonstrating that device-induced strain creates a spatially varying g-tensor landscape, which is modulated as electrostatic gates shift the quantum dot's position.
This paper numerically investigates bio-inspired asymmetric textured CMOS image sensors based on antenna theory to explore passive non-reciprocity, but finds that while a theoretical framework predicts 5–15% efficiency gains, FDTD simulations reveal only a negligible 0.02% change, confirming that macroscopic Lorentz reciprocity remains robust at the sub-wavelength scale due to apex field concentration.
This paper establishes a unified electronic-structure framework demonstrating that the strong electron-phonon coupling and ion migration in metal halide perovskites originate from a common chemical bonding mechanism, where low-frequency shearing modes drive halide migration and high-frequency stretching modes govern carrier scattering, both of which can be predicted and optimized using a novel orbital hybridization descriptor.
This paper proposes an "acoustic tweezer" system that utilizes spatially confined longitudinal waves carrying phonon spin to generate polarity-selective radiation forces, enabling the deterministic trapping and routing of individual magnetic skyrmions for high-precision topological spintronics.
This paper numerically investigates the local phase diagram of the gapped Kondo effect using Lanczos and configuration-interaction methods, demonstrating that the crossover between quantum and classical impurity spins can be continuously tracked via topological invariants (Chern numbers) and revealing distinct behaviors in underscreened and overscreened regimes, including spontaneous particle-hole symmetry breaking.
This paper proposes an inductively protected Andreev (IPA) spin qubit, which shunts an Andreev spin qubit with a linear inductor to separate spin states into distinct potential wells, thereby significantly enhancing relaxation times while combining the long coherence and large anharmonicity of protected superconducting qubits with the operational benefits of a spin degree of freedom.
This paper investigates Andreev conversion in graphene nanostructures at the quantum Hall edge, revealing that partial interface transparency induces non-degenerate hybrid modes and intervalley scattering at corners, leading to disorder-free interference and greater robustness compared to the zero-field regime.
This study utilizes direct time-resolved X-ray microscopy to visualize and quantify the nanosecond dynamics of antiferromagnetic skyrmion lattices, revealing distinct incoherent and coherent flow regimes and establishing a quantitative framework for their scattering interactions to enable robust multi-skyrmion spintronic devices.
