This paper introduces an enhanced, parallel implementation of the LPC3D software in Python using PyStencils to enable efficient mesoscopic simulations of ion adsorption and spectroscopic properties in large-scale, heterogeneous porous carbon supercapacitors on both CPU and GPU architectures.
This paper presents a first-principles many-body model that uses an influence functional approach within path integral Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate how coupling to optical phonons significantly renormalizes Wannier-Mott exciton binding energies at elevated temperatures, achieving quantitative agreement with experimental data.
This paper presents a geometrically calibrated, full-contrast dynamical simulation method for on-axis transmission Kikuchi patterns that accurately reproduces complex diffraction features like spots and excess-deficiency effects, thereby enabling more robust pattern indexing and a deeper understanding of electron scattering physics in scanning electron microscopy.
This paper experimentally demonstrates that a resonantly driven phonon mode exhibits a generalized thermodynamic closure where energy and coherence jointly govern its nonequilibrium evolution, revealing a delayed ultrafast response linked to finite-time excitation spreading and a universal state surface across different driving conditions.
By integrating multimodal X-ray techniques with electrical and optical measurements, this study reveals that pulsed electromigration in YBaCuO microbridges induces consistent, depth-dependent oxygen vacancy redistribution and crystallographic changes, while demonstrating that optical microscopy alone is insufficient for characterizing irreversible bipolar electromigration effects.
This paper demonstrates that repulsive interactions in a quantum material featuring an X high-order Van Hove singularity can induce triplet superconductivity with a power-law dependence of the critical temperature on interaction strength, providing an upper bound for this phenomenon in SrRuO.
This study reports the direct observation of dimensionality-dependent exciton dispersion in the Mott insulator Nb3Cl8, revealing a transition from quasi-two-dimensional massless linear dispersion in the high-temperature phase to three-dimensional parabolic dispersion in the low-temperature phase driven by enhanced interlayer coupling.
Using square-pulsed source thermoreflectance, this study reveals that interfacial thermal conductance at solid-liquid interfaces increases with modulation frequency due to weak coupling between diffusional and phonon-like modes over a finite nonequilibrium length, challenging the assumption of fully equilibrated liquid modes.
This paper introduces a square-pulsed source thermoreflectance method that simultaneously quantifies the pressure-dependent bulk thermal properties and interfacial thermal resistance of thermal interface materials, revealing distinct transport mechanisms and hysteresis behaviors across different material types under mechanical loading.
This paper demonstrates that palladium films deposited via high-pressure magnetron sputtering exhibit a record-breaking resistance decrease of up to 1/335 upon hydrogenation, a phenomenon driven by improved grain contacts and hydrogen-induced crystallization that offers a promising pathway for enhancing hydrogen sensor performance.
