This paper proposes a new framework for integrating life cycle thinking into the earliest stages of inorganic solid materials design, shifting the focus from retrospective environmental assessment to proactive, anticipatory, and responsible material innovation.
This paper demonstrates that optimizing site-dependent dephasing profiles can enhance steady-state quantum transport in one-dimensional lattices by overcoming localization and energy detuning more effectively than spatially uniform noise.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that static lattice distortions, via adiabatic electron-phonon coupling, serve as a versatile tuning mechanism to control the magnitude, anisotropy, phase, and chirality of noncollinear RKKY interactions in two-dimensional Rashba -wave altermagnets.
The paper proposes a symmetry-based framework using a multipole basis to decompose force-constant matrices, demonstrating that ferroaxial order in zigzag-chain models induces hidden sublattice-resolved chiral phonons.
This study investigates the high strain rate and elevated temperature response of the CrCoNi-based ODS-MPEA alloy GRX-810, finding that while nanoscale oxide dispersion significantly enhances dynamic strength at ambient temperatures, it leads to thermal softening at high temperatures due to dislocation confinement and reduced elastic constants.
This paper numerically demonstrates that a two-dimensional non-Hermitian photonic crystal made of lossy magneto-optical materials exhibits both non-Hermitian topological edge states and a corner skin effect protected by complex eigenfrequency point gaps.
This paper demonstrates that thin amorphous layers exhibit significant finite-size effects in their magnetic moment and ordering temperature, which are attributed to approximately 1 nm thick interface regions of reduced interaction and the presence of Griffith phases near the critical temperature.
This paper demonstrates a scalable, high-performance method for growing high-quality barium titanate (BTO) films on 4-inch silicon wafers using hybrid molecular beam epitaxy (hMBE), achieving superior crystallinity and electro-optic coefficients compared to traditional pulsed laser deposition.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that optical phonons in graphene significantly suppress high harmonic generation (HHG) yields and drive electronic decoherence through phase scrambling and interband current coupling, providing a key explanation for the observed limitations in experimental HHG spectra.
By screening 236 layered semiconductors through high-throughput density functional theory calculations, this study identifies a strategy to decouple electron and phonon transport by mitigating polar optical phonon (POP) scattering, highlighting as a high-performance thermoelectric candidate with high electrical conductivity and ultralow lattice thermal conductivity.
