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 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.
This study introduces the embedded local cluster expansion (eLCE) method to bridge first-principles calculations with kinetic Monte Carlo simulations, enabling the prediction of diffusion coefficients in multi-principal element alloys and revealing that local kinetic barriers, rather than thermodynamics, primarily govern whether diffusion is sluggish or anti-sluggish.
This study demonstrates that Mn substitution in trigonal induces a transition from a ferrimagnetic to a ferromagnetic ground state, significantly enhancing both the magnetic ordering temperature and saturation moment, as confirmed by combined experimental synthesis and first-principles calculations.
This study demonstrates that Ru doping in MnP induces a highly anisotropic lattice expansion that selectively attenuates ferromagnetic coupling to stabilize helical magnetic order, significantly elevating the ordering temperature to 215 K and establishing a universal scaling relationship between the -axis lattice parameter and magnetic transition temperatures.
Using a D-Wave Advantage2 quantum annealer to overcome the sign problem in frustrated transverse-field Ising models, this study reveals a universal quantum suppression of ferromagnetic stability that remains constant across quasi-1D geometries before stepping down at a crossover scale to a 2D limit, thereby validating a predictive crossover law and confirming direct ferromagnet-to-paramagnet transitions.
This paper establishes an automated, high-throughput spin-assisted layer-by-layer liquid-phase epitaxy (LbL-LPE) protocol for the reproducible fabrication of highly oriented mixed-linker MOF thin films, validated through comprehensive correlative characterization to enable orientation-dependent applications.
