This study utilizes low-energy muon spin rotation (LE-SR) combined with Monte-Carlo simulations to establish a quantitative method for depth-resolved profiling of carrier concentrations and dopant activation in n-type 4H-SiC, thereby offering critical insights for optimizing power electronic device fabrication.
This review examines the application of Bayesian optimization to self-driving materials laboratories, detailing how it addresses practical experimental challenges through physics-informed strategies and surveying its transformative impact across diverse material domains while outlining future directions for knowledge-generating experimentation.
This paper reports the synthesis and characterization of rare-earth oxysulfide (REOS) antiferromagnets with triangular-bilayer slab lattices, revealing that synthesis-dependent structural disorder significantly influences their frustrated magnetic ground states and highlighting the potential of mixed-anion materials for discovering novel quantum phenomena.
This study demonstrates that functionalizing 3D-graphene with nickel nanoparticles enhances its hydrogen storage capabilities and oxidation resilience, as confirmed by comprehensive morphological, chemical, and thermal desorption analyses.
This paper reports and theoretically explains the observation of an electron-spin-resonance-driven linear photogalvanic effect in unbiased monolayer graphene and WSe₂/graphene heterostructures, demonstrating that resonant photocurrents generated by spin transitions can serve as a sensitive probe for electron spin resonance in two-dimensional devices.
Extensive laboratory earthquake experiments confirm a comprehensive two-dimensional theory predicting that frictional slip pulses are categorically unstable, intrinsically slow rupture modes that exhibit a transition from decaying to growing behavior across various conditions.
This paper investigates the linear and nonlinear magneto-optical transport in tilted type-I multi-Weyl semimetals using a semiclassical Boltzmann framework, deriving analytical expressions that reveal how orbital magnetic moment corrections generally suppress Berry curvature-induced conductivity while offering distinct experimental signatures of the materials' anisotropic dispersion and higher monopole charges.
This study reports the high-pressure synthesis and ambient-pressure recovery of YFeH, a new ternary superhydride prototype featuring a unique FeH-based framework that remains metastable outside of extreme pressure environments.
This study demonstrates that growing WSe2 on graphene induces persistent compressive strain and layer-dependent charge transfer that pin exciton energies, contrasting with the thickness-dependent shifts observed on SiO2/Si, thereby establishing graphene as an active interface for controlling excitonic properties in scalable van der Waals heterostructures.
This study demonstrates that integrating hierarchical vibrations and rotational dynamics in lightweight cyanide-bridged framework materials induces extreme phonon anharmonicity and scattering, resulting in ultralow lattice thermal conductivity that significantly outperforms existing perovskite-based systems.
