This paper proposes a non-integer-dimensional model for anisotropic solids using q-deformed derivatives inspired by Tsallis statistics to derive thermodynamic properties that accurately match experimental data while linking the deformation parameter to microscopic disorder and memory effects.
The paper presents AutoMAT, an autonomous hierarchical framework that integrates large language models, automated CALPHAD simulations, and AI-guided optimization to efficiently discover and experimentally validate high-performance alloys, successfully identifying a lightweight titanium alloy and a high-entropy alloy with superior properties while compressing the discovery timeline from years to weeks.
This paper demonstrates that the alpha-relaxation dynamics of various glass-formers across different temperature regimes can be universally described by a two-parameter model derived from the two-state, two-scale (TS2) theory, which connects to the Hall-Wolynes elastic relaxation framework.
This study demonstrates that the Dirac kagome magnet Fe3Ge exhibits exceptionally large anomalous and topological Hall and Nernst effects driven by intrinsic Berry curvature from massive Dirac gaps and field-induced scalar spin chirality, establishing it as a promising candidate for room-temperature transverse thermoelectric applications.
This study reveals that replacing Rh with Ir in ternary tellurides TaXTe induces an orbital-driven topological phase transition from hybrid to type-II Weyl semimetals, which significantly enhances planar Hall responses through velocity-modulated effective mass anisotropy.
This study employs a combined first-principles and Wannier-based model to reveal that the direct-to-indirect bandgap transition in layered MoS is driven not only by interlayer - coupling but also critically by previously overlooked - and - orbital interactions between neighboring sulfur atoms.
This study employs a DFT-trained Moment Tensor Potential coupled with the Activation-Relaxation Technique to reveal that while amorphous silicon models capture similar macroscopic dissipative properties to traditional potentials, they exhibit significantly different atomic-scale two-level system characteristics, specifically a higher prevalence of complex bond-exchange mechanisms and isolated, independent TLS oscillations.
This paper demonstrates that the tunable - lattice model supports enhanced superconductivity and a geometrically dominated superfluid weight, where tuning the parameter and on-site asymmetries allows for control over the quantum metric and transition temperature, offering a promising platform for realizing tunable quantum materials.
This paper proposes that anisotropic electron-phonon coupling combined with screened Coulomb repulsion drives nodal topological superconductivity on the PtBi surface, while predicting that enhanced Coulomb screening could transform this state into a nodeless superconductor with a higher critical temperature.
This paper reports the successful establishment and validation of a magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurement setup capable of operating under bipolar pulsed magnetic fields up to 13.1 T, demonstrating its accuracy through agreement with static-field results on Fe3O4 and its utility for rapidly characterizing the hysteretic properties of various permanent magnets.
