This paper presents a self-consistent multiscale ensemble Monte Carlo framework for monolayer MoS that integrates first-principles-validated scattering mechanisms with a channel model to accurately predict intrinsic transport properties, field-effect transistor characteristics, and gas sensing responses to various adsorbates.
This study resolves the long-standing discrepancy between experimental and simulated out-of-plane thermal conductivity in MXenes by demonstrating that heterogeneous surface terminations create a stereochemical vacuum gap that drastically suppresses heat transport, offering a chemistry-driven strategy to engineer thermal properties.
This study demonstrates that chemically alloying the rocksalt subunit in (LaxPb1-xSe)1.14(NbSe2)2 misfit layer heterostructures enables precise doping-tunable control over NbSe2 charge density waves, allowing for the stabilization of distinct 2x2 or 3x3 ordering patterns and coexisting phases.
This study utilizes in-situ synchrotron X-ray nanodiffractometry and finite element modeling to reveal that hydrostatic compression and shear strain during nanoscratch testing in 316H stainless steel drive a spatially resolved, sequential martensitic transformation pathway (), offering mechanistic insights into galling resistance differences among hardfacing alloys.
This paper presents a theoretical framework using the Dynamical Projective Operatorial Approach to demonstrate that resonant pump pulses in excitonic systems induce persistent coherent oscillations and distinct Floquet sidebands in TR-ARPES spectra, thereby validating the method's ability to simulate ultrafast phenomena in interacting electron systems.
This paper establishes the complete group-theoretical classification of odd-parity spin splitting in collinear magnets, revealing previously unexplored high-order -, -, and -wave classes, and demonstrates their realization in specific materials alongside their distinct impacts on anomalous transport phenomena.
This paper proposes and demonstrates a method to experimentally access a quantized local Chern marker for topological magnons in a 2D ferromagnetic Heisenberg system by combining local driven-dissipative preparation with circular dichroism measurements, enabling the detection of bulk topological properties with single-site resolution while accounting for magnon losses.
This paper theoretically proposes a novel 3D plasmonic nanomotor design that achieves independent control over transverse and longitudinal motion by combining optical pulling forces from an azimuthally polarized Bessel beam with lateral forces from asymmetric plasmonic dimers, thereby overcoming the challenge of realizing pulling forces against incident light.
This review systematically examines recent advancements in charge carrier management strategies for perovskite solar cells, synthesizing insights from over thirty studies to provide a comprehensive roadmap for overcoming efficiency and stability limitations and accelerating commercial viability.
This study reveals that ultrathin RuO(110) films on Ru(0001) exhibit a nonmagnetic charge order driven by moiré-induced flat-band scattering and a reversible metastable surface reconstruction, while spin-polarized measurements confirm the absence of magnetic order on the surface.
