This review article presents the fundamentals and applications of aberration-corrected high-resolution transmission electron microscopy for atomic-scale structural and electronic characterization, covering core principles, comparative methods, quantitative imaging examples, and future perspectives in materials science.
By utilizing a dry-transfer technique to create epitaxial Fe3GeTe2/Bi2Te3 heterostructures, researchers demonstrated that interfacial coupling induces Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and modifies magnetic anisotropy, thereby stabilizing robust bubble domains under zero-field-cooled conditions where single-crystal flakes typically exhibit stripe or no domains.
This paper proposes and validates a method for measuring the linear polarization of soft and tender X-rays (0.4–3.0 keV) by analyzing the angular distribution of photoelectrons emitted from carbon targets, thereby offering a versatile tool for polarization-dependent investigations in this energy range.
This paper presents a deep learning framework enhanced with Feature-wise Linear Modulation (FiLM) that successfully predicts grain growth evolution under complex, time-varying thermal profiles with high accuracy and speed, overcoming the limitations of previous models restricted to constant-temperature conditions.
This paper introduces a unified, self-consistent ab initio quantum-electrodynamical density-functional theory framework that enables the first-principles prediction of cavity-modified electronic, phononic, and optical properties in periodic solids, demonstrated through successful simulations of wurtzite GaN.
This study applies a configurational force framework to HR-EBSD measurements in -Ti to quantify the energetic driving force of blocked slip bands at grain boundaries, revealing a significant decoupling between conventional geometric compatibility metrics and the actual energetic tendency for deformation to extend into neighboring grains.
This study demonstrates that trace amounts of confined water (<1 wt%) in porous BiFeO ceramics are the primary driver of colossal dielectric responses and non-Arrhenius transport anomalies, revealing that dehydration-controlled cycling serves as a critical diagnostic tool for distinguishing intrinsic material properties from hydration-induced extrinsic effects.
This paper generalizes the previously proposed "R2D2" equivalent-circuit model for electrical transport in lithium niobate to an "R2X2" framework to evaluate multiple injection mechanisms, ultimately demonstrating through combined DC and higher-harmonic AC analyses that Fowler-Nordheim tunneling best describes the domain-wall/metal-electrode injection barrier.
This study demonstrates that substituting Mn for Ga in MnGaC tunes the intersublattice exchange coupling to drive a sequential magnetic transition from antiferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic states, significantly enhancing the ordering temperature and inducing distinct transport phenomena like topological Hall resistivity.
This study employs high-throughput first-principles screening of 2,106 ruthenium-based compounds to identify 61 promising candidates with superior resistivity scaling and reliability, offering a viable alternative to copper for next-generation interconnects.
