This paper develops a theoretical framework demonstrating that weak positional disorder in spherical quantum dot chains renormalizes key Hamiltonian parameters, leading to an 8–12% broadening of electron minibands while preserving their delocalized nature due to a disorder length scale significantly exceeding the lattice constant.
This paper demonstrates that the intrinsic thermally driven phase fluctuations of injection-locked spin-torque nano-oscillators can be deterministically and continuously programmed by tuning the amplitude and phase of a weak radio-frequency perturbation, thereby establishing these devices as hardware primitives for probabilistic computing and brain-inspired architectures.
This study demonstrates that fine-tuning universal machine-learned interatomic potentials, specifically the MACE model, is essential for achieving DFT-level accuracy in modeling the structural reconstruction and vibrational properties of twisted 2D van der Waals bilayers, successfully capturing strain landscapes and phonon spectra that align with experimental observations.
This paper demonstrates that chiral carbon nanotubes exhibit non-universal, chirality-dependent non-equilibrium orbital responses and can function as efficient orbital-angular-momentum filters, with semiconducting variants showing distinct interference patterns when interfaced with metallic contacts.
This paper theoretically demonstrates a radiative Mpemba effect in a VO nanoparticle near a SiC substrate, where phase-change hysteresis and latent heat enable initially hotter systems to cool faster than colder ones through near-field coupling and external thermal memory.
This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of an integrated quantum photonic platform featuring an electrically driven whispering-gallery-mode microlaser coupled to a ridge waveguide, which successfully enables on-chip optical excitation of InGaAs quantum dots to generate spectrally tunable single-photon emission with a second-order correlation value of .
This study demonstrates that selective single-molecule skeletal editing of seven-membered heterocycles can be achieved by substituting the heteroatom, as voltage pulses from a scanning probe microscope tip induce sulfur deletion in sulfur-containing rings with near-perfect selectivity, unlike the mixed outcomes observed with oxygen analogs.
This paper demonstrates that angle-resolved universal conductance fluctuations can serve as a tomographic probe to map phase-coherent transport pathways in selective-area-grown InAs nanowires, revealing that transport is dominated by a near-surface accumulation layer with distinct geometric behaviors in normal versus hybrid normal-superconductor device geometries.
This paper proposes a detection method for Majorana zero modes in topological superconducting wires by analyzing the distinct changes in quantum dot spin polarization induced by rotating the wire's Zeeman field, which effectively distinguishes true topological phases from trivial mimics and identifies phase transitions.
This study develops a ReaxFF-based reactive force field for the P/Sn/I system to provide atomistic insights into the early-stage synthesis of black phosphorus and phosphorene, revealing how iodine and density jointly control phosphorus recombination and the formation of nucleation seeds.
