This paper introduces a universal, organic-solvent-free strategy using methylammonium polybromide melts to directly convert stable elemental metal films into high-quality bromide perovskites and related phases at room temperature, overcoming traditional oxidation limitations and offering a scalable pathway for next-generation optoelectronics.
This study demonstrates that while different machine learning architectures can achieve comparable accuracy in predicting magnetic anisotropy from raw electronic spectra, their physical interpretability and out-of-domain transferability depend on convergent validation through model comparison, perturbation theory, and controlled spectral interventions rather than predictive performance alone.
This paper introduces a convolutional neural network trained on synthetic multipole-Padé spectra to efficiently and accurately invert complex dielectric spectra into their underlying plasmonic pole parameters, offering a robust, high-throughput alternative to conventional nonlinear fitting methods.
This study reveals that mode-selective electron-phonon coupling between Ru out-of-plane phonons and specific orbitals, rather than Fermi-surface nesting, drives the record-high charge density wave transitions in kagome metals YRuSi and LaRuSi, with the higher transition temperature in YRuSi attributed to strengthened Ru-Ru bonds from the smaller Y ion.
This paper demonstrates the successful epitaxial growth of WO₃ films on r-plane sapphire substrates using hot-filament metal-oxide deposition with CO₂ as a precursor, resulting in transparent visible-light films with high absorption above 3 eV.
This study demonstrates that at a fixed stoichiometry, the density of amorphous silicon nitride governs electron trapping mechanisms by modulating porosity and the availability of free three-coordinate silicon precursors, which shifts the balance from induced-K and polaronic trapping toward capture at pre-existing K-centers as density decreases.
This paper introduces the Symmetric Mode Ansatz (SyMA), a generalized single-mode approximation that accurately describes the low-energy magnon spectrum and gap in Chern insulators, including fractional states, by proving its exactness in specific solvable Hubbard models and demonstrating that uniform quantum geometry is sufficient to stabilize magnetism.
This paper introduces a real-space scanning tunneling microscopy technique that maps orbital angular momentum () in triangular atomic monolayers by exploiting wavefunction interference to encode information into characteristic charge order patterns, thereby overcoming the limitations of conventional photoemission methods.
This paper demonstrates widely tunable ultrastrong magnon-magnon coupling in the van der Waals antiferromagnet , establishing a protocol to detect and quantify the resulting squeezed magnon vacuum states with up to 9.7 dB of squeezing through a complete quantum model of chiral and acoustic/optical mode interactions.
This paper demonstrates that spatial compositional gradients in rare-earth-transition-metal ferrimagnets, created via patterned laser writing, enable deterministic skyrmion nucleation and high-velocity, Hall-effect-free transport by leveraging magnetization and spin angular momentum compensation points.
