This paper proposes a new paradigm for material design that leverages intrinsic quantum measurement to drive unitary-projective electron dynamics, thereby enabling novel functionalities such as nonreciprocal transport, new forms of magnetism, and energy conversion efficiencies exceeding the Carnot limit.
This study employs an interpretable small-data machine learning framework to optimize pulsed laser deposition of -Ga2O3 on sapphire, achieving record-breaking crystallinity while revealing that temperature and oxygen pressure independently govern bulk crystallinity and surface morphology, respectively.
This paper presents a unified heterogeneous computing framework within the ABACUS package that accelerates real-time time-dependent density functional theory simulations based on numerical atomic orbitals through co-designed abstraction layers, demonstrating significant speedups on single GPUs and high parallel efficiency across multiple GPUs for large-scale electron dynamics studies.
The paper introduces olLOSC, a unified and computationally efficient orbital-free density functional approximation that corrects delocalization errors in both molecules and periodic materials by calculating curvature via orbital-free electronic linear response, thereby enabling robust predictions of total energy, charge density, and band structure without the high cost of existing methods.
This study demonstrates that the transient time correlation function (TTCF) method successfully enables the simulation of water slip flow in graphene nanochannels at experimentally accessible shear rates, yielding results consistent with equilibrium simulations and experiments where classical nonequilibrium molecular dynamics fails.
This study demonstrates that moderate non-magnetic dilution in the quantum magnet YbGaO preserves or even enhances its magnetocaloric effect at low fields, suggesting its potential for efficient low-temperature magnetic cooling applications that overcome thermal conductivity limitations.
This study reports the successful growth of atomically flat, hexagonal FeTe islands on SrTiO3 substrates, where scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveals a gap-filling temperature near 40 K that suggests the potential for superconductivity in iron telluride at ambient pressure.
This study experimentally visualizes the momentum-dependent d-wave spin polarization in the metallic altermagnet KVSeO using spin-selective scanning tunneling microscopy with a topological insulator tip, providing direct evidence of its unique magnetic phase and establishing it as a platform for symmetry-engineered spintronics.
This study reports the rare coexistence of in-plane and out-of-plane electric dipoles and multiple phase transitions in 2D layered TlGaS2, attributing these phenomena to the off-center displacement of Tl1+ ions with 6s2 lone pairs and observing quantum paraelectricity along both directions.
This study demonstrates that ferroelastic twin walls in the bulk crystal LaAlO3 naturally confine and canalize broadband terahertz and mid-infrared light at the nanoscale with lateral sizes up to 260 times smaller than the free-space wavelength, offering a fabrication-free platform for polaritonic circuitry.
