This study demonstrates that cerium-doped oxyfluoride glasses incorporating up to 80 wt% recycled solar panel glass exhibit promising optical properties and altered crystallization behaviors, including the suppression of xonotlite formation, making them viable candidates for optical applications.
This study reveals that the altermagnet CrSb hosts flat-band-driven competing charge and spin instabilities, where short-range charge fluctuations collapse upon magnetic ordering to trigger a record-breaking spin-phonon coupling and a pronounced phonon anomaly at the Néel temperature.
This study demonstrates that the prototypical discotic organic semiconductor HAT6 undergoes a rapid, reversible, and orientationally correlated Martensitic-like transition between its liquid crystalline and crystalline phases when biaxially aligned in microchannels, challenging the conventional view that such transformations occur only between crystalline solids and offering a pathway for growing large-area aligned organic crystals for electronic devices.
This study establishes electronegativity mismatch as a predictive design principle for interfacial charge transfer in 3d/5d oxide heterostructures, demonstrating how this mechanism enables quantitative control over band filling and induces spin-state conversions without chemical substitution.
Using ultrafast electron diffraction, this study reveals that ferroelectric BaTiO exhibits polarization-dependent electron-phonon coupling and ultrafast carrier separation, where excited electrons relax more rapidly when the optical electric field aligns with the material's intrinsic ferroelectric polarization.
This study introduces a novel microcorrosion cell fabricated via localized electrodeposition in liquid and analyzed using cryogenic atom probe tomography to achieve unprecedented 3D atomic-scale mapping of transient copper corrosion reactions in acidic environments, revealing temperature-dependent interfacial evolution and transient complexes previously inaccessible to conventional characterization.
This paper demonstrates an all-solid-state perovskite photoluminescence field-effect transistor that utilizes a gate voltage to electrostatically modulate interfacial charge density, thereby reversibly tuning photoluminescence intensity by up to 98% through the suppression of non-radiative recombination.
This paper introduces a theoretical framework that maps arbitrarily stacked graphene bilayers with specific interplanar distances onto an equivalence class of magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, enabling efficient ab initio simulations of their exotic electronic properties using computationally manageable supercell sizes.
This study numerically demonstrates that while polydispersity significantly alters contact forces, local coordination, and jamming density in soft particle packings, the critical scaling of mechanical properties and the vibrational density of states remain governed solely by the distance to the jamming transition, regardless of the particle size distribution.
Through comprehensive measurements of electrical resistivity and magnetic moments in magnetite single crystals up to 1000 K, the study reveals a significant correlation between the Verwey transition temperature and characteristic magnetic temperatures, suggesting that the transition mechanism and electrical transport are intrinsically linked to the material's magnetic properties.
