This paper presents a data-driven framework that leverages large language models to extract compositional insights from scientific literature, enabling the accurate prediction and discovery of novel high-performance filler dopants for CoSb-based skutterudites, which are subsequently validated through quantum simulations.
This paper introduces HTC-Claw, an intelligent high-throughput computational platform built on the OpenClaw framework that overcomes the limitations of conventional workflows by utilizing an agent-based system to automatically decompose research goals, dynamically adapt processes based on real-time analysis, and execute closed-loop, end-to-end materials discovery campaigns.
This paper demonstrates an ultrafast nonlinear Hall effect in centrosymmetric black phosphorus by dynamically breaking inversion symmetry with femtosecond light pulses, revealing a polarization-selective, 300-fs-lasting current generation mechanism supported by momentum-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and *ab-initio* calculations.
This study demonstrates that partial vanadium substitution in the Kitaev candidate BaCo2(AsO4)2 tunes the system through a critical point at approximately 10% concentration, where balanced competing exchange interactions and quantum fluctuations stabilize a complex magnetic ground state, offering a pathway to realize a quantum spin liquid.
This study elucidates the atomistic mechanism of van der Waals epitaxy for -MoO on mica by combining experimental characterization of stress-free, multi-oriented growth with ab initio calculations that identify specific Mo-K proximity as the key driver for interface energetics, thereby establishing a predictive framework for designing stress-free epitaxial films of layered materials.
This paper proposes that aligning twisted bilayer graphene with specific commensurate insulating substrates induces intervalley coupling and spin-orbit interactions, transforming the system into a geometrically frustrated four-band model that hosts topological flat bands with high spin Chern numbers near the magic angle.
This paper presents concise analytical expressions and existence criteria for higher-order topological corner, edge, and bulk states in two-dimensional continuum grid-like frames, demonstrating their robustness and enabling direct engineering applications despite complex spectral overlaps.
This paper investigates AC-driven transport in nanofluidic channels to reveal how capacitive coupling between channel wall electrons and electrolyte ions creates distinct frequency-dependent signatures, modifies electro-osmotic flows, and establishes a comprehensive transport matrix linking ionic, electronic, and hydrodynamic phenomena.
This paper introduces a Lagrangian-based technique that replaces the computationally expensive requirement of DFT calculations with a single coupled-perturbed Kohn-Sham calculation to efficiently generate unbiased atomic forces in ab initio Variational Monte Carlo, thereby improving their consistency with potential energy surfaces and accuracy relative to CCSD(T) benchmarks.
This paper demonstrates a simple liquid-phase infiltration method to synthesize polymer-iron oxide hybrid films that effectively transfer the electrokinetic properties of iron oxide to polymer surfaces, offering a scalable strategy for controlling interfacial charge in applications such as water purification and energy conversion.
