First-principles Newns-Anderson Hamiltonian Construction for Chemisorbed Hydrogen at Metal Surfaces

This paper presents a first-principles method for constructing Newns-Anderson Hamiltonians via projection operator diabatisation of Kohn-Sham DFT data to accurately model chemisorbed hydrogen on Al, Cu, and Pt surfaces, revealing that the widely used wideband limit approximation is valid for Al but insufficient for Cu and Pt.

Universal Displacements in Linear Strain-Gradient Elasticity

This paper derives and explicitly characterizes the complete set of universal displacement fields for all 48 material symmetry classes in three-dimensional linear strain-gradient elasticity, revealing that while high-symmetry classes retain classical universal displacements, lower-symmetry classes impose stricter higher-order differential conditions that reduce these families to proper subsets.

Identification of an Unreported Structure Type in GdNiSn4 and Its Implications for Materials Prediction

This paper reports the discovery of a new, unreported crystal structure type in GdNiSn4 using traditional experimental methods, demonstrates that current AI-based material generation models fail to predict it, analyzes its stability through electronic and steric factors, and highlights its complex magnetic properties.

The Evolution of Magnetism in a Thin Film Pyrochlore Ferromagnetic Insulator

This paper reports the successful synthesis of the first thin films of the ferromagnetic insulator Y2V2O7, demonstrating that they retain bulk-like magnetic transition temperatures while exhibiting a tunable magnetic anisotropy shift from in-plane to out-of-plane due to strain relaxation, thereby paving the way for strain-engineered topological magnon devices.

Moiré-induced symmetry breaking of charge order in van der Waals heterostructures

This study demonstrates that stacking misfit layered chalcogenides with 1H-TaS2_2 induces anisotropic symmetry breaking in the charge-density wave state through a nonlinear coupling with the uniaxial moiré potential, while leaving the material's s-wave superconductivity largely unaffected.

Electrically tunable circular photocurrent via local-field induced symmetry breaking at a metal-MoTe2 interface

This study demonstrates that a localized gold-MoTe2 interface induces symmetry breaking and spin splitting, enabling the generation and continuous electrical tuning of circular photocurrents in centrosymmetric 2H-MoTe2 via the circular photogalvanic effect.

Riemannian geometric classification and emergent phenomena of magnetic textures

This paper proposes a refined classification of magnetic textures using differential geometry by introducing geodesic and torsional scalar spin chiralities to fully characterize noncoplanar states, and demonstrates that the geodesic scalar spin chirality induces novel emergent band asymmetry and nonreciprocal responses as a purely orbital quantum geometric effect.

Long-Lived Interlayer Excitons and Type-II Band Alignment in Janus MoTe2/CrSBr van der Waals Heterostructures

This study employs first-principles calculations to demonstrate that the MoTe2/CrSBr van der Waals heterostructure features a stable type-II band alignment and a built-in electric field that collectively enable the formation of interlayer excitons with significantly extended lifetimes (18–45 ps), positioning it as a promising platform for next-generation optoelectronic applications.

Long-range mid-infrared energy transfer mediated by hyperbolic phonon polaritons

This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that hyperbolic phonon polaritons in anisotropic 2D materials, such as α\alpha-MoO3_3, can mediate and enhance long-range, highly directional mid-infrared energy transfer between dipoles at room temperature, extending interactions far beyond the near-field limits of conventional platforms.

Spin Inertia as a Source of Topological Magnons: Chiral Edge States from Coupled Precession and Nutation

This paper demonstrates that spin inertia, when coupled with angular-momentum-breaking interactions like pseudodipolar forces in a honeycomb ferromagnet, hybridizes precessional and nutational magnons to open topological gaps and generate chiral edge states, establishing a new route for engineering topological phases in magnetic materials.
