Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This paper introduces a physics-constrained machine learning warm-start method that significantly accelerates charge-self-consistent DFT+DMFT calculations, enabling large-scale simulations to determine the melting curve of iron at core conditions and resolving discrepancies between standard DFT predictions and experimental data.
This paper introduces ORDER, a multimodal pretraining framework that leverages ordinality to effectively model the continuous design spaces of composite materials under data scarcity, outperforming existing methods in property prediction, retrieval, and microstructure generation tasks.
This paper demonstrates that strongly discrete transition waves in a tilted bistable chain exhibit quasi-stationary velocity plateaus resulting from a balance between gravitational driving and phonon radiation, where the number of plateaus undergoes a bifurcation at radiation resonance as the tilt angle varies.
This study analyzes the zero-field heat capacity of the metallic helimagnet MnGe by decomposing it into electronic, phononic, and spin fluctuation components, revealing that spin fluctuations persist across a wide temperature range in both paramagnetic and magnetically ordered states with a characteristic temperature of approximately 330 K.
This paper systematically establishes the equivalence between two variational formulations of magnetostatics—one using magnetization and magnetic field, and the other using only magnetic induction—demonstrating that this link remains stable in coupled magnetoelastic models despite the absence of standard convex duality and the lack of preserved convexity or coercivity in the transformation.
This study identifies FeNbS and VNbS as candidate altermagnetic materials, revealing that bond-dependent hopping anisotropy drives -wave electronic spin splitting while single-ion anisotropy governs chiral magnon dispersion, with both phenomena persisting under magnon-magnon interactions to establish these intercalated transition-metal dichalcogenides as key platforms for exploring non-relativistic spin splitting.
This paper demonstrates that transconductance in multilayer WSe transistors serves as a direct electrical probe of valley thermodynamics, revealing a nonlinear transport signature arising from inter-valley carrier redistribution between the and valleys that is distinct from conventional charge accumulation effects.
This study predicts that hole-doping LaNiO to a concentration of induces nearly perfect Fermi surface nesting, which strongly enhances antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations to enable bulk superconductivity at ambient pressure without the need for external pressure or strain.
This paper demonstrates that crystallographic symmetry alone does not uniquely determine electronic charge equivalence, as pressure-induced charge transfer can either break charge equivalence between crystallographically identical sites or preserve it between distinct sites via emergent hidden symmetries, thereby challenging the conventional reliance on Wyckoff positions to predict electronic behavior.
This study introduces a hybrid 1D-2D finite element framework to demonstrate that bending piezo-flexomagnetic nanobeams generates significant external magnetic flux in the surrounding air, a critical factor for designing non-contact nanoscale sensing systems that is often overlooked in existing theoretical models.
