Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This paper introduces AMShortcut, an inference- and training-efficient probabilistic generative model that enables the rapid, multi-property inverse design of amorphous materials by accurately generating diverse atomic structures in few sampling steps without requiring separate models for different property combinations.
The paper introduces the spectral generalized master equation (GME), a new technique that reconstructs the full evolution of multidimensional spectra from short-waiting-time data, thereby drastically reducing experimental costs, eliminating statistical noise, and enabling the study of delicate or complex systems previously inaccessible to current ultrafast spectroscopy methods.
This paper presents a symmetry-resolved classification framework for polarized small-angle neutron scattering patterns from magnetic vortex ensembles, demonstrating that their angular anisotropy organizes into four distinct regimes governed primarily by rotational symmetry and the statistical distribution of vortex axes rather than detailed core structures.
This paper proposes a robust and efficient method to resolve band gap edge eigenstates by decomposing occupation number variance into particle and hole moments, which are then isolated via power narrowing iterations applied to the quasi-purified one-particle density matrix.
This paper demonstrates that brief deep-UV exposure significantly enhances the electronic quality of encapsulated graphene by neutralizing charged impurities in boron nitride, thereby enabling the observation of rare quantum phenomena like even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states and superlattice minibands in previously disordered devices.
This paper presents a scalable molecular beam epitaxy strategy utilizing gradient sub-monolayer InAs deposition and strain-reducing capping to achieve wafer-scale, low-density, electrically tunable InAs/InGaAs quantum dots on GaAs that emit single photons in the O-band for quantum photonics applications.
This paper introduces NLSTEM, a non-local denoising post-processing technique that significantly improves 4D-STEM pattern indexing rates by averaging similar diffraction patterns to enhance signal-to-noise ratios, particularly benefiting ion-damaged samples with curved lattices without requiring beam precession.
This study demonstrates the ability to drive antiferromagnetic NiO into a highly nonlinear regime using THz light and subsequently steer its dynamics out of this state with a 33-Tesla magnetic field, marking a significant step toward ultrafast resonant switching of antiferromagnetic order.
The paper presents a robust, fitting-free method based on identifying reflectance minima in spectroscopic measurements to accurately extract the in-plane dielectric permittivity of small-area van der Waals microcrystals, overcoming the limitations of conventional ellipsometry and near-field probes.
This study demonstrates that applying negative triaxial pressure induces a robust, symmetry-protected topological Dirac semimetallic phase in KCdP, characterized by massless Dirac fermions and distinct Dirac cones at the Fermi level.
