This paper demonstrates that geometrically confining magnetostatic spin waves in patterned YIG structures enables the deterministic, spatially localized generation of high-intensity magnons sufficient to drive second harmonic generation, offering a promising pathway for low-power magnonic signal processing and logic devices.
This paper proposes a methodology to directly measure the pressure-dependent dielectric constant of hexagonal boron nitride by analyzing the pressure-induced shifts in the exciton Rydberg series of encapsulated monolayer WSe within a van der Waals heterostructure.
This study demonstrates that enriching the polar semiconductor Cu1+xMn1-ySiTe3 with copper effectively suppresses stacking faults, thereby unlocking enhanced second-harmonic generation, distinct spin-flop magnetic transitions, and doped semiconducting behavior that were previously hindered by crystal defects in Cu-deficient compositions.
This study utilizes hybrid density functional theory to demonstrate that self-trapped holes in orthorhombic -GaO are energetically favorable and stabilized by acceptor dopants, creating localized gap states that induce red-shifted optical absorption and suggest a potential pathway for achieving p-type conductivity through isoelectronic doping if self-compensation can be mitigated.
This study demonstrates that the foundational machine learning model MACE-MP-0 qualitatively captures the temperature-dependent structural and thermodynamic behaviors of CsSnBr3 and Cs2SnBr6, successfully predicting phase transitions and framework rigidity while highlighting the need for system-specific fine-tuning to resolve subtle intermediate phases.
This paper presents an ensemble XGBoost machine learning approach trained on a curated hydride dataset to effectively screen and identify promising ternary superconducting candidates, such as Ca-Ti-H and Li-K-H, at high pressures without requiring prior structural information.
This review article summarizes recent advancements in muon beam technology and high-precision muonium physics, highlighting their applications in fundamental constant measurements, searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, and materials science research.
This paper establishes a quantum geometric framework for Floquet non-Hermitian altermagnets, demonstrating that periodic optical driving and non-Hermiticity enable tunable control and strict reversal of nonlinear spin currents, which are predominantly governed by the bare quantum metric.
This study experimentally demonstrates that the chiral crystal (TaSe4)2I hosts a dominant p-wave orbital angular momentum texture controllable by lattice chirality, establishing a new platform for spinless orbitronics applications.
This first-principles study reveals that boron incorporation in AlScN induces interstitial threefold-coordinated boron atoms that symmetrize the scandium environment via a scandium-activated mechanism, thereby decoupling stiffness from piezoelectric response and enhancing the piezoelectric coefficient.
