Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This study demonstrates that rolling 2D van der Waals magnetic monolayers into cylindrical nanotubes intrinsically confines and compresses magnetic domain walls through curvature-induced exchange energy penalties, enabling the formation of stable, interacting domain wall bound states ideal for quasi-one-dimensional spintronic applications.
This paper demonstrates that intrinsic spin-orbit coupling, previously neglected in graphitic systems due to its minimal impact on monolayer graphene, significantly alters the phase diagram, Fermi surfaces, and magnetization density-dependence in multilayer graphene stacks through a unique Rashba-like interlayer mechanism.
This paper presents a comprehensive framework combining density functional theory and a "divide and conquer" combinatorial approach to predict all possible stacking configurations of identical monolayers, explaining experimental optical responses and enabling the design of functional layered materials.
This perspective argues that enabling sustainable, distributed edge computing for AI requires a synergistic co-creation of indoor photovoltaics for local energy harvesting and (anti)ferroelectric materials for efficient energy storage and neuromorphic processing to overcome the limitations of centralized data centers.
This paper introduces a "phenomenon-first" framework where language models generate novel qualitative material behaviors and mechanisms for metal-organic frameworks by separately processing guest physics, host capabilities, and operating context, successfully identifying computationally tractable candidates and experimentally reproducible phenomena that outperform traditional objective-driven approaches.
This study combines atomic-scale monochromated EELS experiments and ab initio calculations to demonstrate that covalent bonding between the epitaxial graphene buffer layer and the SiC substrate induces site-specific orbital symmetry breaking and -state quenching, thereby modifying the material's electronic structure for potential low-energy transistor applications.
This review examines how focused electron and ion beam-induced deposition (FEBID and FIBID) enables the 3D nanoprinting of functional magnetic and superconducting materials, exploring the underlying mechanisms, emergent physical phenomena arising from complex geometries, and future prospects for high-density quantum device integration.
This paper presents a statistical inverse-reconstruction method that overcomes the limitations of 2D TEM projections by inferring the 3D morphology and polydispersity of magnetic nanoparticles, demonstrating that accurate geometric characterization is essential for predicting their magnetic hyperthermia performance.
This study reports the successful growth of smooth, high-quality HoCo thin films on Si substrates via pulsed laser deposition, which retain bulk-like ferrimagnetic ordering at 77 K but exhibit a continuous second-order transition and significantly enhanced coercivity compared to the bulk material.
This paper presents a dynamic lock-in based magnetoelectric measurement system used to demonstrate that the PMN-PT/NFO composite exhibits significantly enhanced strain-mediated coupling compared to CFO/BTO, a difference attributed to the superior piezoelectric strength of PMN-PT and the lower magnetic anisotropy of NFO.
