This study demonstrates that the lead factor (neutron flux) significantly influences the magnetic properties of irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels, as evidenced by variations in DC magnetometry, AC susceptibility, and Barkhausen noise measurements, thereby enabling more accurate extrapolation of accelerated irradiation tests to real operational conditions.
This study identifies metallic CrSb as a high-temperature altermagnet exhibiting coherent, chiral spin-split magnons with exceptionally high group velocities, establishing it as a promising platform for room-temperature spintronic applications.
Using density-functional theory and cluster expansion, this study establishes that while Na-ion intercalation becomes thermodynamically favorable at interlayer spacings above 4.21 Å, Li-ion capacity is maximized at approximately 3.75 Å, thereby providing fundamental design principles for optimizing carbon anodes for both battery chemistries.
This study demonstrates that coordination-driven chemical strategies, specifically ligand substitution and frontier molecular orbital engineering, can effectively tune lattice symmetry to induce robust altermagnetic spin splitting and charge-to-spin conversion in two-dimensional Cr-based metal-organic frameworks for next-generation spintronics.
This study employs statistical theory and Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that inter-defect interactions and non-uniform impurity distributions significantly govern defect thermodynamics, oxidation behavior, and hole conductivity in acceptor-doped ABO3 perovskites, with oxygen vacancy-impurity interactions proving more influential than inter-vacancy correlations.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that ultrafast, deterministic nonthermal magnetization switching in near-compensated rare earth iron garnets can be achieved via femtosecond optical pulses through the inverse Faraday effect, offering a promising pathway for optomagnonic logic and memory devices.
This paper analytically demonstrates that minimizing the dimensions of a repetitive-pulse magnet coil optimizes its efficiency, enabling higher repetition rates and more intense magnetic fields by revealing a complex interplay between geometric parameters and performance metrics like energy loss and pulse duration.
This review outlines critical strategies for achieving circularity in perovskite-based tandem photovoltaics—addressing material scarcity, recycling protocols, lead safety, and policy frameworks—to ensure their sustainable, terawatt-scale deployment alongside crystalline silicon technologies.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 exhibits a switchable surface linear photogalvanic effect driven by extrinsic contributions from Fermi-arc states, which can be controlled by magnetization flipping and offers a promising platform for symmetry-controlled optoelectronic applications.
This paper presents a causal and energetic neural-network framework for learning history-dependent constitutive laws that ensures thermodynamic consistency, stability, and solution existence while demonstrating that learned internal variables are unique up to a linear transform, achieving a 2% relative error in predicting the response of a polycrystalline magnesium unit cell.
