This study combines first-principles DFT calculations, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and low-temperature heat capacity measurements to characterize the momentum-dependent charge density wave gap and construct the magnetic phase diagram of the rare-earth chalcogenide EuTe4.
This paper introduces a Bayesian neural network implementation within the aenet-PyTorch framework and systematically compares its uncertainty quantification capabilities against deep ensembles on TiO structures to guide the development of reliable machine learning interatomic potentials.
This molecular dynamics study reveals that while both nitrogen atom clusters and equivalent-sized vacancy defects degrade graphene's mechanical integrity, they induce distinct failure mechanisms, with vacancies acting as severe stress concentrators causing premature failure and clusters altering crack propagation patterns, thereby offering critical insights for optimizing defect-tolerant design in graphene-based applications.
This study demonstrates that controllable cation disorder and hydrogenation in spinel NiCo2O4 enable multi-state electromagnetic phase modulations, establishing it as a versatile platform for low-power, scalable oxide spintronic devices with tunable spin states and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
This paper presents a comprehensive framework for classifying and discovering both apparent and hidden spin splitting and polarization in real materials based on their underlying symmetries and interactions, with a specific focus on electrically tunable effects in antiferromagnets and the importance of resolving correct atomistic symmetries to reveal concealed physics.
This paper proposes that the temperature dependence of spontaneous magnetization for Ni2MnGa and other ferromagnets can be fully described across the entire temperature range by a symmetric superellipse equation using only the Curie temperature and a single dimensionless critical exponent, thereby allowing the behavior near the Curie point to be predicted from low-temperature measurements.
This study theoretically demonstrates that tuning the AC magnetic field amplitude to a moderate range (4–12 mT) minimizes heating heterogeneity in shape-polydisperse magnetite nanoparticle assemblies of 25–30 nm, thereby identifying an optimal operating regime that balances substantial power dissipation with uniform heat distribution.
This study systematically investigates how dielectric screening influences Floquet-Volkov dressing in semiconductors (GeS, SnS, and WSe) by using polarization-dependent Volkov sidebands to extract dielectric constants and demonstrating how evanescent fields and internal reflections generate distinct nonlinear light-matter signatures in pump-probe measurements.
This paper reports the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of the new intermetallic compound Er3Pt2Sb4.55, revealing its distorted square-net lattice, anisotropic antiferromagnetic ordering, and metamagnetic transitions driven by a Jeff = 1/2 Er3+ motif, thereby expanding the understanding of magnetic phenomena in rare-earth-based square-net materials.
Using resonant elastic X-ray scattering and micromagnetic simulations, researchers demonstrate that in the anisotropic chiral magnet MnPtSn, applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the crystallographic propagation axis stabilizes a unique fan-like state where quasi-one-dimensional spin textures transform from a chiral soliton lattice while maintaining a transverse propagation direction.
