This paper proposes a semi-supervised, disentangled variational autoencoder approach for inverse materials design that improves data efficiency and interpretability by separating target properties from other material features in a latent space.
This paper demonstrates a non-invasive, all-optical method for characterizing the in-plane thermal conductivity of GaN-based photonic membranes by combining two-laser Raman thermometry with photoluminescence measurements to accurately account for all laser-induced power balances.
Researchers have successfully grown a highly conductive and ferromagnetic single monolayer of on substrates, achieving a high Curie temperature of 154 K and significantly improved resistivity through effective surface protection and strong orbital hybridization.
Using polarization-dependent ARPES on Nb-doped , this study provides a detailed characterization of the conduction band by revealing the formation of anisotropic, ellipsoidal electron pockets at the point with specific effective masses and electron densities.
This study utilizes response theory to evaluate the effectiveness of linear and quadratic approaches in modeling electron charge dynamics and separation, demonstrating that quadratic response theory provides a more accurate description of charge transfer processes than linear response.
This paper maps the phase diagram of compressively strained thin films, revealing a superconducting dome characterized by an electron-hole crossover and an anomalous Hall coefficient sign change that suggests Fermi surface reconstruction.
Using an X-ray free-electron laser, researchers observed that electronically heated palladium nanocrystals undergo a transient period of heterogeneous structural strain before achieving uniform thermal expansion.
This paper presents a multi-fidelity high-throughput screening protocol that utilizes foundational MACE machine-learning force fields and DFT calculations to efficiently identify and validate novel intercalation cathode materials for next-generation Na-, K-, Mg-, and Ca-ion batteries.
This first-principles DFT study investigates the thermodynamic, kinetic, optical, and mechanical properties of () hydrides, identifying as the most promising candidate for hydrogen storage due to its superior storage capacity.
This paper demonstrates that reliable Bayesian parameter estimation for solar cells requires careful selection of free parameters and input data, specifically highlighting that incorporating dark shunt resistance and utilizing low-to-intermediate illumination JV curves improves the predictive accuracy of light-intensity-dependent device performance.
