This paper proposes "Nitrospinics," a new framework leveraging the unique properties of nitride materials, exemplified by the 2D MXene Cr2N, to enable energy-efficient orbital-torque spintronic devices and artificial intelligence hardware.
This study presents a novel Si-doped Li6.6Si0.6Sb0.4S5I iodide argyrodite electrolyte that achieves high room-temperature ionic conductivity (9.9 mS cm⁻¹) and enables stable, wide-temperature all-solid-state batteries with a LiNbO3-coated cathode, overcoming key interfacial and thermal challenges for next-generation energy storage.
This paper presents an efficient, two-stage analytical framework based on a solvable modified Kratzer model to retrieve fundamental material parameters of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides directly from optical and magneto-optical exciton spectra, enabling the accurate prediction of excitonic properties without the need for numerical fitting or matrix diagonalization.
This paper establishes a symmetry-based framework linking the structural stacking and twist angles of MoS2 bilayers to their second-order nonlinear optical response, demonstrating how specific symmetry breaking induces a frequency-independent rotation of second-harmonic generation patterns that enables precise, wavelength-independent determination of twist angles and the engineering of tailored optical functionalities.
This study demonstrates that MgO-based magnetic tunnel junctions can simultaneously exhibit linear, non-hysteretic magnetoresistance suitable for field sensing and non-volatile, quasi-analogue memristive behavior, with doping-induced power reduction and reversible switching capabilities that enable the co-integration of spintronic and memristive functionalities for advanced reprogrammable circuits and neuromorphic computing.
This study demonstrates that the trade-off between crack suppression and wrinkle formation in freestanding BaTiO3 membranes can be optimized by jointly tuning the oxide and polymer support thicknesses, providing critical processing guidelines for integrating high-quality ferroelectric oxides into silicon-based devices.
This paper presents a non-perturbative theoretical framework that bridges macroscale strains and nanoscale mechanochemical kinetics in condensed matter, enabling the prediction of reaction rates for highly strained molecules like spiropyran through parameterizable expressions derived from atomistic simulations.
This study reveals that in pumped germanium, the transient optical response is dominated by resonant crystal momenta rather than the total residual excitation population, demonstrating that virtual pump-induced contributions from resonant regions are crucial for determining the material's optical weight.
This paper reports the discovery of a novel magnetoresistive memory effect in EuInAs that operates within the paramagnetic phase at twice the antiferromagnetic transition temperature, suggesting the presence of hidden order or short-range correlations and offering a new platform for quantum sensing and memory technologies.
This paper theoretically predicts and characterizes a novel asymmetric antibimeron (AAB) in in-plane magnetized chiral ferromagnets with symmetry, detailing its unique structure, stabilization mechanism, coexistence properties, and current-driven dynamics to provide a roadmap for experimental observation and topological charge manipulation.
