This paper reports the discovery and theoretical verification of a giant longitudinal domain-wall Hall magnetoresistance in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2, which arises from an electric field distribution induced by the transverse giant anomalous Hall effect and offers potential for advanced multi-resistance-state modulation.
This theoretical study demonstrates that the antiferromagnet FeTe exhibits a large, temperature- and field-sensitive intrinsic anomalous Hall effect driven by Berry curvature, establishing it as a promising platform for exploring quantum transport in low-dimensional correlated systems.
This paper presents an energy-efficient artificial neuron based on annealing-optimized Ag/HfZrO memristors that exhibits multiple spiking functionalities, including leaky integrate-and-fire behavior and various coding modes, using a simple circuit without additional electronic overhead.
This theoretical study reveals that 2D ilmenenes exhibit intrinsic magnetic order with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy and tunable spin orientations depending on the 3d metal composition, highlighting their potential for spintronic applications.
This paper demonstrates that while hybrid-TDDFT approaches improve upon standard long-range corrected kernels for calculating exciton binding energies, the persistent discrepancy between accurate spectra and binding energies stems from the numerical difficulties in treating the long-range Coulomb singular term, highlighting the need for a more robust description of electron-hole interactions.
This study utilizes picosecond acoustic strain pulses generated by femtosecond lasers to successfully probe the magnetic dimensional crossover in the van der Waals ferromagnet CrSiTe by detecting subtle spin-fluctuation-induced lattice responses and ultrafast carrier dynamics, thereby overcoming previous experimental limitations in observing this transition.
This paper introduces a machine learning model that extends the Gaussian Approximation Potential to include noncollinear magnetic degrees of freedom, enabling efficient ab initio spin dynamics with high accuracy by leveraging rotational symmetries and adiabatic approximations.
This study employs density functional theory to reveal that CaMnBi exhibits narrow-gap antiferromagnetism describable by a modified Heisenberg model, where small strain can tune the easy-plane magnetic anisotropy through the interplay of spin-orbit coupling and lattice distortions, highlighting its potential for spintronic applications.
This paper introduces vectorial field-guided lithography, a novel approach that utilizes fully structured polarization fields to quantitatively predict and programmably reconfigure pre-patterned azopolymer microstructures into complex anisotropic, bent, and chiral architectures through stress-driven mechanisms, thereby establishing a comprehensive theoretical framework for designing functional polymer surfaces beyond conventional intensity-based photopatterning.
This study demonstrates that magnetic field oscillations can effectively tune the non-flat energy landscape to control the formation and evolution of skyrmion lattice domains, thereby overcoming pinning effects to enhance quasi-long-range order in magnetic thin films.
