This paper presents an automated design framework for tubular origami that leverages generalized degree- vertices and polygonal cross-sections to systematically optimize and significantly enhance anisotropic stiffness across multiple deformation modes, achieving over 50 times higher constrained rotational stiffness than benchmark designs.
This paper establishes a comprehensive theoretical framework for third-order optospintronic responses in d-wave altermagnets by deriving closed-form analytical and perturbative solutions for injection and shift currents, which are shown to be governed solely by quantum geometric quantities like the quantum metric and connection, free from Berry curvature contamination.
This study demonstrates that controlled topographic patterning in single-crystalline LSMO oxide membranes induces extreme local strains and curvature-driven symmetry transformations, enabling deterministic modulation of structural, nanomechanical, and electronic properties through thickness-dependent wrinkling.
This study utilizes molecular dynamics simulations to reveal that linear complexions in Al-Cu and Ni-Al alloys enhance strengthening not only through direct particle interactions but also by modifying local stress fields and orientation-dependent dislocation resistance, thereby explaining experimental observations that exceed classical precipitation hardening predictions.
This study establishes that ultrathin MnSi films on silicon retain robust ferromagnetism down to a single monolayer, exhibiting a distinct 2D magnetic character and potential for silicon-based spintronics applications despite a thickness-dependent metal-to-insulator transition.
This paper derives an exact analytical solution for the demagnetisation field of a periodic one-dimensional array of rectangular prisms, validating the method numerically and demonstrating its superior convergence compared to existing macrogeometry and uniform magnetisation approaches.
This paper proposes a piezomagnetic writing scheme utilizing Mn3Ir-based memory cells and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction to achieve deterministic, nonvolatile, and ultrafast switching of antiferromagnetic states, thereby overcoming the speed limitations of conventional isothermal methods for advanced spintronic applications.
This paper demonstrates that combining infrared valley excitation with a THz pulse envelope enables the all-optical generation of nearly 100% pure spin currents in the 2D altermagnet CrSO, overcoming previous symmetry-based limitations to establish a practical route for lightwave spin control in low spin-orbit coupling materials.
This study utilizes synchrotron X-ray diffraction and calorimetry to demonstrate that the NASICON-type NaFeCr(PO) undergoes a temperature-driven order-disorder transition where Na-ion redistribution within the [FeCr(PO)] framework drives a symmetry-lowering structural change from a monoclinic ordered phase to a rhombohedral disordered phase.
This paper demonstrates that the strong strain dependence of inter-layer exchange coupling in ambiently stable CrSBr bilayers enables the resonant generation of magnons by acoustic waves, with tunable parameters via an external magnetic field, highlighting its potential for spintronics applications.
