Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
The paper predicts and demonstrates that the newly identified -phase bismuth monohalides ( and ) are ideal three-dimensional topological ferroelectric insulators that feature switchable polarization and robust spin-resolved topology, offering a promising platform for field-controlled spintronic devices.
The researchers demonstrate that substituting copper into allows for the tuning of structural transitions between uncollapsed, one-third collapsed, and fully collapsed states, enabling a large thermal hysteresis that can be adjusted to room temperature for potential use as a shape-memory material.
This paper uses numerical diagonalization to investigate the spin excitation gaps of and Heisenberg antiferromagnets on various frustrated lattices, identifying specific transitions between gapped and gapless phases as the ratio of interaction strengths changes.
This paper proposes a new dynamic failure law for all-solid-state batteries governed by two coupled processes—interfacial "breathing" (contact oscillations) and "reactive memory" (electrolyte decomposition)—and demonstrates that while stack pressure can suppress breathing, independent control of interphase chemistry is required to manage reactive memory.
This paper demonstrates the observation of magnetic clock transitions in near-surface As spins in silicon using low-field continuous-wave electrically detected magnetic resonance (EDMR), establishing the technique as a sensitive method for studying decoherence suppression in silicon-based quantum devices.
This paper identifies low-damping (LAFO) spinel ferrite thin films as a model system for studying magnon damping mechanisms, revealing that electrically and thermally generated magnons exhibit distinct temperature-dependent spin diffusion lengths due to different scattering processes.
This paper presents a methodology to identify the primary causes of fill factor loss in perovskite-silicon tandem solar cells, specifically highlighting the impact of series resistance, the "photoshunt" phenomenon in perovskite layers, and the two-diode property of silicon cells.
This study demonstrates that colossal negative dielectric permittivity can be achieved in single-phase calcium ferrite solely by restructuring its morphology into nano hollow spheres, a phenomenon attributed to phase inversion within the hollow cavity.
Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, the researchers demonstrate that quasiparticles in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are dressed by remote phonons from an adjacent hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layer, revealing a generic interlayer electron-phonon coupling that could influence electron mobility and correlated phases in 2D heterostructures.
This paper demonstrates that ion damage from sputtering and ICP etching causes significant, orientation-dependent charge depletion up to 11.5 m deep in (010), (110), and (011) -GaO epitaxial layers, whereas (001) layers remain largely unaffected.
