Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This theoretical study demonstrates that while intrinsic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in 2D FeGeXTe monolayers are too weak to stabilize noncollinear states, frustrated out-of-plane DMI promotes atomic-scale 3 magnetic textures and nanoskyrmion-like lattices, which can be further stabilized and tuned via strain or electric fields.
This study reveals that illumination-induced self-trapped holes significantly alter the electrostatics of gallium oxide devices by enabling a tunneling-based photocurrent gain mechanism, which resolves discrepancies in conventional barrier-lowering models and is critical for optimizing UV-C detectors and power electronics.
This study demonstrates that an electrochemically exfoliated MoS2/WS2 2D/2D heterostructure nanocomposite, featuring a Type-II band alignment and ultrathin layers, achieves highly efficient visible-light-driven degradation of the pharmaceutical pollutant sorafenib by significantly enhancing charge separation and reactive oxygen species generation.
This study demonstrates that channeling-in effects significantly modulate electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) signal quality and metrics, revealing that these dynamical interactions are prevalent in routine mapping conditions and must be accounted for to avoid biases in high-resolution strain analysis and emerging machine-learning applications.
This paper presents ADEPT-PolyGraphMT, an integrated framework that combines automated molecular simulations with multi-task, multi-fidelity machine learning to generate a unified dataset of 62,000 polymer property values and achieve robust, scalable prediction of diverse polymer properties across vast chemical spaces.
This paper introduces Hierarchy-Guided Latent Topology Flow (HLTF), a planner-executor model that jointly generates bond graphs and 3D coordinates using a latent multi-scale plan and constraint-aware sampling to significantly improve the validity and uniqueness of generated drug-like molecules without relying on post-processing.
This study reports the room-temperature observation of switching between bipolar and unipolar magnetostriction in polycrystalline ZnO films under in-plane magnetic field rotation, a phenomenon attributed to crystal anisotropy that highlights the material's potential for micro- and nano-electronic sensors and actuators.
This study demonstrates that twisting freestanding SrTiO3 perovskite layers induces interfacial reconstruction into ordered screw dislocation networks, which stabilize periodic in-plane polar vortex-antivortex arrays and an electronic superlattice, establishing twist-controlled dislocation networks as a novel route for designing local polar and electronic structures in oxides.
This paper presents a low-scaling space-time $GW$ algorithm within the numerical atomic orbital framework that leverages the localized resolution of identity technique to reduce computational complexity to or better, enabling efficient and accurate quasi-particle energy calculations for systems with fewer than 100 atoms.
This study demonstrates that a charge current flowing through a WTe2 layer can enhance the magnetic ordering of an adjacent Fe3GeTe2 ferromagnet via an orbital-magnetization-induced effective magnetic field, successfully driving its Curie temperature above room temperature and enabling controlled phase transitions.
