This study confirms the complex non-collinear spin ordering in LaOFeOSe below 90 K through broad-range zero-field La-NQR measurements, which align with previous NMR and Mössbauer results while revealing a significant modification of the electric field gradient at the La site below the Néel temperature.
This study demonstrates that chemical substitution of Ge in EuPd2Si2 systematically lowers the europium valence transition temperature while inducing a strain-stabilized phase coexistence between Eu²⁺ and Eu³⁺ states, revealing a robust inverse linear coupling between lattice parameters and transition temperatures that offers a predictive framework for this material family.
This study demonstrates that isothermal tempering of a highly supersaturated metastable austenitic PM high-speed steel promotes carbide spheroidization and the formation of a chemically graded rim via epitaxial growth, leading to increased hardness and reduced austenite stability.
This paper demonstrates that increasing orbital flux in the half-filled triangular-lattice Hofstadter-Hubbard model stabilizes a chiral spin liquid phase where electrons fractionalize into gapped spinons and chargons, producing distinct spectral signatures that link band topology to intrinsic topological order.
This study analytically and numerically demonstrates that the scaling law for thin film excess energy breaks down in the monolayer limit due to long-range interatomic interactions, thereby proving that non-van der Waals two-dimensional materials can be formed using pair potentials alone.
By utilizing pulsed laser deposition under highly non-equilibrium conditions to induce anionic overstoichiometry and peroxide bond formation, researchers stabilized a super-tetragonal phase of barium titanate with a record-high aspect ratio of 1.08 that exhibits superior ferroelectric performance compared to conventional films.
This study demonstrates that directional zero-group-velocity laser-ultrasonic measurements, when combined with texture-derived elastic modeling, effectively characterize the elastic anisotropy of textured steel plates and can detect microstructural changes such as dislocation density and recrystallization.
The paper introduces Hereditary Effective Atom Theory (HEAT), a novel genetic algorithm framework that utilizes a differentiable effective-atom representation and a direct superposition crossover scheme to efficiently predict the atomic structures of large-scale systems by overcoming the combinatorial explosion challenges faced by conventional methods.
This paper introduces a modular, uncertainty-aware framework using compositional flow matching to solve non-unique inverse problems in X-ray and neutron scattering by training separate single-observation models that are combined at inference time for effective multimodal co-refinement without requiring joint retraining.
This paper experimentally demonstrates an unconventional bulk-boundary correspondence in a photonic Kagome-like lattice, where robust boundary modes emerge from higher-order flatband-touching points and remain localized even under perturbations, establishing a new platform for exploring flatband physics and topological photonic devices.
