This study attributes the large topological Hall effect in the antiferromagnet EuCdSb to three distinct mechanisms: Weyl states generated by symmetry breaking below the Néel temperature, Weyl states induced by strong spin fluctuations above it, and real-space Berry curvature arising from scalar spin chirality within antiferromagnetic domain walls.
This paper reports the observation of spin-orbit-driven quarter semimetals in rhombohedral multilayer graphene, where strong correlations and proximitized spin-orbit coupling induce spontaneous symmetry breaking and a hysteretic anomalous Hall effect, ultimately enabling a magnetic-field-tuned phase transition to Chern insulators.
This review traces the evolution of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) from fundamental kinetic studies to advanced sensing with electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymers, highlighting how the integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and high-throughput experimentation enables the development of autonomous self-driving labs for the rapid discovery and optimization of next-generation materials and biomedical sensors.
This paper demonstrates that stacking topologically trivial layers under symmetry constraints induces a parity-dependent topological phase transition, where odd-layer systems host protected topological bound states in the continuum, a phenomenon experimentally verified in stacked acoustic lattices.
This study identifies a previously unreported chiral ferroelectric phase in lead-free AgNbO with space group , demonstrating that its intrinsic structural chirality is electrically switchable, thereby enabling reversible control over chiral optical responses for advanced optoelectronic applications.
This paper proposes a constraint-aware diffusion model utilizing a primal-dual algorithm to efficiently and accurately generate physically grounded structures for point defects in inorganic solids, overcoming the computational costs of traditional first-principles simulations.
This study demonstrates that while the magnetoresistance of a textured polycrystalline BiMn solid solution differs significantly from a lower-concentration Bi-Mn-Fe sample at low temperatures due to varying amounts of magnetic -BiMn, their behaviors converge near room temperature, with the higher manganese content sample exhibiting substantially lower maximum magnetoresistance values attributed to internal magnetism influencing electrical transport.
This paper develops precise effective operators for monolayer graphene superlattices by combining variational approximation, perturbation theory, and multiscale methods to replace the standard massless Dirac operator with new operators that account for both microscopic and macroscopic periodic potentials.
This paper proposes a physics-informed pretraining strategy that leverages simple physical potentials to enhance the accuracy, robustness, and stability of graph-based machine learned interatomic potentials across diverse material systems and architectures.
Using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy combined with ab initio calculations, this study reveals that coherent -symmetric phonon modes in centrosymmetric 1T-MoTe induce band-selective electron-phonon couplings that drive ultrafast, few-meV band renormalizations.
