Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This paper presents a focused laser-assisted local field cooling technique that enables non-destructive, nanoscale reprogramming of exchange-bias anisotropy to engineer tunable magnetic energy landscapes, thereby facilitating the creation of reconfigurable artificial spin metamaterials and programmable Moiré spin textures for advanced spintronic applications.
This paper introduces a trajectory-resolved kinetic Monte Carlo framework to model charge transport in graphene beyond the ballistic regime, revealing how vacancies, temperature, magnetic fields, and strain collectively influence current, transmittance, and conductance in realistic two-dimensional carbon systems.
This paper proposes and validates a linear elastic continuum model for nanoscale dislocation loops in tungsten by demonstrating its agreement with atomistic simulations in the far-field, thereby bridging the gap between atomistic and continuum descriptions to predict long-term irradiation effects.
This paper demonstrates that in line-graph lattices with strong attractive interactions, doped charges form obstructed Cooper pairs whose motion is frustrated by destructive interference, causing the pair kinetic energy to vanish and resulting in a disorder-free, interaction-driven localization that yields an exact spin liquid ground state with topological order.
This paper proposes a strategy to design a room-temperature, two-dimensional organic half-metallic ferrimagnet with fully compensated magnetic moments and a singular flat band, achieved by combining Aza-3-Triangulene and 2-Triangulene molecules in a honeycomb lattice to enable robust spintronic applications.
This study presents the first direct measurements of ferropericlase thermal conductivity under lower-mantle conditions, revealing a significant reduction linked to the iron spin crossover that helps define a comprehensive lower-mantle conductivity profile and constrain geodynamic evolution.
This study reveals that while the structural stability of 2D MoWS alloys is primarily composition-driven, their electronic and optical properties, including band-edge splitting, valley energetics, and optical selection rules, are critically governed by the specific microscopic arrangement of atoms across the full composition range.
This paper introduces an environment-dependent tight-binding framework that augments Slater-Koster hopping integrals with bond-screening functions, fitted to ab initio pseudo-atomic orbital Hamiltonians across multiple configurations to generate transferable, large-scale electronic structure models with ab initio precision.
This study introduces a machine learning-driven pathfinding algorithm based on the Crystal Normal Form to map diffusionless transformation pathways and analyze the kinetic persistence of metastable TiO polymorphs by correlating potential energy landscape topography with experimental phase stability.
This study employs Density Function Perturbation Theory to comprehensively characterize the infrared, Raman, piezoelectric, and elastic properties of ultra-wide band gap Mg-IV-N\textsubscript{2} (IV = Si, Ge, Sn) semiconductors, including their vibrational modes, phonon dispersions, and tensor properties within the Pna2\textsubscript{1} crystal structure.
