This study demonstrates that orbital currents generated by the orbital Hall effect in chromium can be efficiently injected into terbium to induce a highly effective orbit-orbit torque (OOT) with a dampinglike efficiency of ~3.66, offering a promising pathway for manipulating orbital magnetization in orbitronics.
This paper proposes a new standard for measuring average grain size in additively manufactured materials based on an interlaboratory comparison study, demonstrating its suitability and limitations across various Ni and Al components using EBSD.
This study employs geometry-based descriptors and foundational machine-learning models to screen the Materials Project database, successfully identifying 37 promising calcium battery cathode candidates, including specific materials with low migration barriers and stable charged states, thereby establishing a transferable workflow for accelerating the discovery of novel energy storage materials.
Using resonant inelastic X-ray scattering on Nd2-xCexCuO4, this study reveals a continuous evolution of collective charge excitations from acoustic plasmons to a gapped hybrid mode and finally to a 139 meV excitation at half-filling, demonstrating that strong coupling to lattice degrees of freedom unifies the charge dynamics across the Mott transition in electron-doped cuprates.
This study employs molecular dynamics simulations with dynamic charge transfer to reveal that switching in Ta/HfO/Pt memristors is governed by the field-driven formation of hybrid filaments composed of both Ta cations and oxygen vacancies, demonstrating how initial defect configurations dictate filament morphology and offering a robust framework to reduce device variability.
This perspective article explores how integrating artificial intelligence with advanced design principles, such as cooperative adsorption and multivariate strategies, can accelerate the discovery and optimization of sustainable metal-organic frameworks for efficient atmospheric water harvesting in arid conditions.
This study reveals that multilayer magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4 exhibits dominant seventh-order nonlinear electronic transport linked to its magnetic phases, with quantum metric multipoles and nonlinear Drude conductivities identified as the underlying microscopic origins.
This study demonstrates that two-magnon scattering, rather than spin pumping alone, dominates the thickness-dependent Gilbert damping in YIG/V bilayers, necessitating a revised model to extract an accurate, thickness-independent effective spin-mixing conductance of .
This paper presents and validates the Landau-Lifshitz-Bernoulli (LLBe) model, a multi-scale finite-temperature micromagnetic framework that seamlessly bridges atomic and macroscopic scales to accurately predict bulk magnetic properties from below to above the Curie temperature, as demonstrated by its application to heat-assisted magnetic recording.
This first-principles study demonstrates that substituting MoS monolayers with group-5 transition metals (V, Nb, Ta) induces metallicity and magnetic moments, with V-doping uniquely achieving a multifunctional platform combining half-metallicity, significant valley polarization, and enhanced piezoelectricity for next-generation spintronic and valleytronic applications.
