This paper presents a finetuning-free diffusion model framework enhanced with adaptive constraint guidance and a multi-step validation pipeline to generate diverse, thermodynamically stable inorganic crystal structures that satisfy user-defined physical and chemical constraints.
This paper reports the discovery of an extreme terahertz nonlinear phononics mechanism in , where a highly susceptible non-equilibrium electronic correlation bath dramatically amplifies lattice nonlinearities to generate a rich landscape of approximately 30 distinct multi-order quantum pathways, establishing a new benchmark for coherence-imprinted hybrid electronic-phonon order.
Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy on MoSe/graphene heterostructures, this study demonstrates that sub-nanometer-range exciton transfer is governed by charge tunneling rather than dipolar interactions, as evidenced by a consistent ps transfer time that vanishes when a 1 nm hexagonal boron nitride spacer is introduced.
This study demonstrates that geometric confinement in Pt/Co/W multilayer micro-tracks acts as a universal control parameter to deterministically guide a hierarchical transformation of magnetic textures from labyrinth domains to isolated skyrmions and finally to complex higher-order states like skyrmion bags at room temperature, offering a scalable strategy for multistate spintronic applications.
This study demonstrates that stacking Cr2Ge2Te6 with WTe2 in van der Waals heterobilayers significantly enhances ferromagnetism, including a more than twofold increase in Curie temperature, through strain-mediated lattice reconstruction and interfacial charge transfer.
This paper introduces a compact, efficient analytic operator-based approximation derived from full 2-body solutions that overcomes the limitations of traditional dipole models and computationally expensive full-field methods for describing interactions in magnetically soft many-body systems.
This paper introduces a universal broadband square-pulsed thermometry method that enables rapid, simultaneous quantification of solid-liquid interfacial thermal conductance and nanoscale liquid-film thickness across diverse material combinations, revealing significant variations driven by vibrational mismatch, wettability, and surface conditions.
This paper introduces and validates a variable-spot-size, multi-frequency square-pulsed source (SPS) method that enables the simultaneous, accurate determination of anisotropic thermal conductivities, heat capacities, and interfacial thermal conductance in complex multilayered thin films across a wide temperature range.
This paper investigates the three-dimensional deformation and bifurcation behavior of inextensible ferromagnetic elastic rods under combined tension, twisting, and magnetic fields by formulating a reduced Hamiltonian system that reveals distinct post-buckling characteristics and localized modes differing between soft and hard ferromagnetic materials.
This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates a non-Hermitian approach using an electric circuit platform to reshape high-order Landau modes via simultaneous magnetic, electric, and imaginary momentum fields, achieving multi-frequency single-peak localization for potential applications in information processing.
