This study demonstrates that transferable 3D Convolutional Neural Networks, specifically the DenseNet-201 architecture, significantly outperform traditional descriptor-based models in predicting the elastic constants of nanoporous metals, achieving high accuracy () and enabling the identification of Pareto optimal designs through transfer learning and large-scale stochastic evaluation.
This paper presents a finite-displacement algorithm that integrates Hubbard corrections into electron-phonon calculations for strongly correlated materials, demonstrating that these corrections significantly alter phonon stability and electron-phonon coupling in LaNiO and RuO by modifying Fermi surface topology, thereby resolving discrepancies between theoretical predictions and experimental observations.
This paper presents a chip-scale planar cavity platform utilizing an optimized attached split ring resonator integrated with various yttrium iron garnet geometries to achieve strong magnon-photon coupling, demonstrating that geometric design rather than magnetic volume is the key parameter for tailoring interaction strength in hybrid quantum devices.
This paper establishes a universal, energy-conservation-based upper bound on the magnetoelectric coupling of bi-isotropic nanoparticles that applies equally to both reciprocal chiral and non-reciprocal Tellegen particles, regardless of their material properties, size, or illumination conditions.
This study demonstrates the existence of spin-free orbital angular momentum in chiral tellurium crystals, where interatomic hopping generates isolated s-orbital bands devoid of spin polarization, offering a new pathway for pure orbital currents in orbitronics.
Using real-time LEEM/LEED, this study reveals that the recovery of the hematite -FeO(0001) surface from a reduced FeO(111)-like layer is governed by the nucleation and lateral growth of a 2D honeycomb phase, a process where oxygen supply becomes the limiting factor for oxidation kinetics below a critical partial pressure threshold.
This study employs shear-mode Raman imaging and second-harmonic generation to reveal that ferroelectric switching in multilayer 3-MoS is a non-uniform, domain-wall-mediated process governed by pinning sites and exfoliation-created boundaries, which facilitate partial stacking transformations and distinct chiral orientations.
This paper presents a novel analytical approach using scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy to overcome previous limitations in quantitative analysis, successfully mapping the local propagation constant of polaritons in SiC/2D-Ag/EG photonic nanostructures and demonstrating their ultra-confinement in both vertical (/50) and lateral (/40) directions by a single atomic layer of silver.
Using effective-Hamiltonian molecular-dynamics simulations, this study demonstrates that picosecond electric-field pulses can locally reconfigure the internal fractional polar topology of Zr-substituted barium titanate nanodomains, creating 64 distinct, stable metastable states defined by unique topological fingerprints.
This paper introduces an ab initio-parameterized microscopic framework based on the quantum Boltzmann equation to reveal a superdiffusive transport regime and a huge ultrafast spin Seebeck effect in laser-excited bcc Fe films, overcoming the limitations of traditional diffusive models in describing nonthermal magnon dynamics.
