First-principles calculations on the newly synthesized bi-infinite-layered LaNiOF reveal that interstitial-derived self-doping creates a unique electronic structure and vanishing magnetic susceptibility, explaining the absence of magnetic transitions in this Ni system.
This paper proposes a projection-based coupling method that utilizes a pinhole camera model and radial basis functions to accurately map infrared thermography temperature data onto 3D surface coordinates from stereocorrelation-based digital image correlation, enabling full-field analysis of deformation and thermal gradients on curved surfaces.
This study demonstrates that confining within single-walled carbon nanotubes induces unique tetragonal and orthorhombic polymorphs with preserved magnetic properties, revealing 1D confinement as a distinct mechanism for structural manipulation compared to high-pressure methods.
This paper proposes a physics-informed, hybrid Graph Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (GNN-LSTM) surrogate model that accurately and efficiently predicts the nonlinear mechanical behavior of additively manufactured short-fiber thermoplastic composites by encoding microstructural topology and damage evolution, thereby overcoming the computational limitations of traditional finite element analysis for digital twin development.
This paper challenges the conventional model of two-photon absorption in silicon nanowire waveguides by using three high-speed measurement techniques to reveal significant discrepancies between nonlinear photon absorption, electron excitation, and free-carrier generation, indicating complex, multi-pathway dynamics where most excited electrons recombine rapidly rather than contributing to long-lived free carriers.
By employing spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and magnetic-field-dependent quasiparticle interference imaging, this study resolves the magnetic origin of momentum-dependent spin splitting in the candidate d-wave altermagnet KV2Se2O by identifying coexisting C-type and G-type magnetic configurations and establishing a direct link between real-space magnetic order and momentum-space electronic signatures.
This study demonstrates that while quantum dot superlattices exhibit delocalized excitonic states, electronic delocalization does not necessarily lead to cooperative emission due to disorder-induced inhomogeneous broadening and exciton-state mixing that prevent macroscopic phase coherence.
This paper introduces CliffordSTF, a novel interatomic potential that overcomes the directional inaccuracy of standard geometric algebra models by coupling multivectors with symmetric-traceless tensor tracks, thereby achieving state-of-the-art performance in force direction and energy prediction across molecular and catalysis benchmarks without relying on Clebsch–Gordan coefficients or Wigner- matrices.
This paper introduces STEMGym, a benchmark demonstrating that in autonomous scanning transmission electron microscopy, optimizing the perception pipeline yields significantly greater dose efficiency than employing advanced adaptive navigation strategies, thereby reframing where machine learning efforts should be prioritized.
This paper resolves the conceptual ambiguity regarding intrinsic second-order dc nonlinear conductivity by establishing a gauge-consistent density-matrix theory that proves the equivalence of length and velocity gauges, demonstrating that the adiabatic response is a purely Fermi-surface quantum geometric contribution determined by the band-normalized quantum metric, which vanishes in fully gapped insulators.
