This paper presents a unified first-principles framework combining the Boltzmann transport equation with electron-phonon scattering and Berry curvature to accurately predict and explain magnetotransport signatures like the chiral anomaly in TaAs and the nonlinear Hall effect in various noncentrosymmetric materials.
This study characterizes high-quality single-crystalline BiPt as a conventional, time-reversal-symmetric s-wave superconductor with a transition temperature of 1.2 K that operates in the dirty limit and exhibits pronounced anisotropy due to its hexagonal structure, serving as a crucial topologically trivial reference for Bi-based non-trivial superconductors.
This study establishes micro-Raman spectroscopy of optical moiré phonons as a rapid, non-invasive method to precisely determine local twist angles in twisted WSe₂ bilayers with sub-micrometer resolution and better than ±0.3° accuracy, revealing significant spatial variations that impact electronic properties.
This paper proposes "Dicke materials," a class of magnetic systems exhibiting a superradiant phase transition, as a robust resource for quantum squeezing that remains stable against finite temperature, disorder, and local interactions, thereby offering a promising platform for quantum metrology and entanglement detection in solid-state systems.
This paper provides a formal group-theoretical proof that structural chirality cannot serve as a primary ferroic order parameter because transitions to enantiomorphic space groups cannot be driven by zone-center instabilities from a common achiral parent.
This paper introduces an enhanced, parallel implementation of the LPC3D software in Python using PyStencils to enable efficient mesoscopic simulations of ion adsorption and spectroscopic properties in large-scale, heterogeneous porous carbon supercapacitors on both CPU and GPU architectures.
This paper presents a first-principles many-body model that uses an influence functional approach within path integral Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate how coupling to optical phonons significantly renormalizes Wannier-Mott exciton binding energies at elevated temperatures, achieving quantitative agreement with experimental data.
This paper presents a geometrically calibrated, full-contrast dynamical simulation method for on-axis transmission Kikuchi patterns that accurately reproduces complex diffraction features like spots and excess-deficiency effects, thereby enabling more robust pattern indexing and a deeper understanding of electron scattering physics in scanning electron microscopy.
This paper experimentally demonstrates that a resonantly driven phonon mode exhibits a generalized thermodynamic closure where energy and coherence jointly govern its nonequilibrium evolution, revealing a delayed ultrafast response linked to finite-time excitation spreading and a universal state surface across different driving conditions.
By integrating multimodal X-ray techniques with electrical and optical measurements, this study reveals that pulsed electromigration in YBaCuO microbridges induces consistent, depth-dependent oxygen vacancy redistribution and crystallographic changes, while demonstrating that optical microscopy alone is insufficient for characterizing irreversible bipolar electromigration effects.
