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.
Using atomistic simulations, this study reveals that edge dislocation cores in BaTiO can either nucleate or pin ferroelectric switching depending on the applied field direction, with the strongest coupling occurring when the field is parallel to the Burgers vector.
This study investigates the previously unexplored role of magnon-magnon interactions in the coherent optical excitation of two-magnon modes in a cubic antiferromagnet, revealing their nontrivial influence on time-domain dynamics and providing a unified theoretical framework that connects spontaneous Raman scattering with Impulsive Stimulated Raman Scattering spectra.
This paper presents a low-cost, open-source IoT platform utilizing an Arduino and LED array to enable physics students to conduct autonomous, closed-loop experiments that train and compare machine learning algorithms, thereby bridging the gap between theoretical ML concepts and practical experimental skills.
This paper proposes a depinning model with an aging mechanism that induces global stress oscillations, revealing that while mean-field interactions lead to system-wide "king avalanches," short-range two-dimensional systems exhibit correlated alternating avalanche activity without system-spanning events.
This study investigates the electronic structure of LiCO by comparing near-edge x-ray absorption and emission measurements with first-principles calculations that incorporate $GW$ self-energy corrections and excitonic effects to address the limitations of standard density functional theory.
This study employs a comprehensive Molecular Dynamics framework to demonstrate that magnesium ion doping at surface sites significantly enhances the chemical stability of hydroxyapatite, offering optimized guidelines for developing advanced dental materials to combat tooth decay.
This paper presents a finetuning-free diffusion model framework enhanced with adaptive constraint guidance and a multi-step validation pipeline to generate diverse, thermodynamically stable inorganic crystal structures that satisfy user-defined physical and chemical constraints.
This paper reports the discovery of an extreme terahertz nonlinear phononics mechanism in , where a highly susceptible non-equilibrium electronic correlation bath dramatically amplifies lattice nonlinearities to generate a rich landscape of approximately 30 distinct multi-order quantum pathways, establishing a new benchmark for coherence-imprinted hybrid electronic-phonon order.
