This paper demonstrates a method for achieving nanoscale-precise, in-situ carbon doping of hexagonal boron nitride by using electron-beam irradiation in a methane atmosphere to simultaneously generate vacancies and decompose methane, resulting in the formation of sub-nanometer carbon-rich patches with modified electronic environments.
By combining time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with a quantum-kinetic theoretical framework, this study reveals that phonon-mediated intravalley scattering into dark excitons is the fundamental mechanism limiting coherent exciton dynamics in black phosphorus.
This paper reports the first experimental realization of an orbital altermagnetic photonic crystal that overcomes the fermion-boson distinction to demonstrate momentum-dependent pseudospin splitting and selective transport, thereby extending the field of altermagnetism to photonic systems for novel spin-photonics applications.
This paper introduces PETASPIN_microelectrics, a fully GPU-accelerated solver that overcomes the limitations of existing CPU-based tools by enabling efficient, large-scale, and accurate 3D simulations of polarization dynamics and topological textures in ferroelectric materials for next-generation device design.
This study demonstrates that interface engineering in a van der Waals heterostructure of the topological insulator BiTe and the antiferromagnet FePS induces spin-phonon coupling and modifies the magnetic ordering temperature, offering a pathway for controlling magneto-elastic modes in surface code spin logic devices.
This paper analyzes the reproducibility challenges encountered when attempting to replicate results from a prominent machine learning framework in materials science, identifying four key categories of issues related to dependencies, versioning, code organization, and manuscript references, and proposes actionable solutions to improve code accessibility and utility for the research community.
This first-principles study reveals that linearly -dependent higher-order strain terms are crucial for accurately modeling the electronic structure of strained HgTe, explaining the camel-back feature in the tensile regime and supporting the emergence of a Weyl semimetal phase under compressive strain.
This study demonstrates that intense terahertz pulses can parametrically excite Raman-active phonons in LaAlO by inducing a coupling between the Raman mode and pairs of acoustic phonons, resulting in substantial subharmonic components.
The study reveals that exchange interactions with a magnetic EuOx overlayer uncover a hidden, highly anisotropic uniaxial spin texture in the superconducting 2D electron gas at KTaO3 (110) interfaces, offering new avenues to explore the interplay between magnetism and 2D superconductivity.
This study characterizes the ferromagnetic kagome metal ScMn6(Sn0.78Ga0.22)6, revealing an in-plane easy magnetization axis that preserves a gapless Dirac cone and flat bands, thereby demonstrating how magnetic orientation modulates the material's topological electronic structure and anomalous Hall effect.
