This paper demonstrates all-optical control of many-body exciton interactions in monolayer WSe phototransistors by utilizing valley-selective excitation to induce helicity-dependent exciton renormalization and nonlinear photoresponse, thereby establishing the valley degree of freedom as a tunable parameter for valleytronic applications.
This study demonstrates that while dopant clustering in Mn-, V-, and Fe-doped WSe2 is energetically favorable, it significantly weakens magnetic exchange interactions by promoting itinerant magnetic order, thereby highlighting the critical need to control dopant distribution to optimize the Curie temperature.
This study utilizes hybrid-density-functional theory to demonstrate that naturally occurring, donor-like Ge-on-Al antisite defects in the Weyl semimetal LaAlGe induce significant electron doping and scattering, thereby obscuring its intrinsic Weyl physics and transport properties.
This paper demonstrates that while nonaffine displacement fields in strongly disordered materials exhibit power-law decay, their spatial derivatives reveal large-scale exponentially decaying correlations governed by a disorder-dependent heterogeneity length scale , a phenomenon validated through both theoretical analysis of correlated random matrices and numerical simulations of various glassy and amorphous systems.
This study demonstrates a scalable method for tuning the optoelectronic properties of WSe films by selenizing VO/WO bilayers to achieve controlled vanadium doping, which significantly enhances hole conduction and induces an insulator-to-metal transition.
This study utilizes NMR and magnetization measurements to demonstrate that Mn antisites in MnBiTe/(BiTe) heterostructures induce an antiparallel magnetic moment on Bi atoms, creating a new ferromagnetic component that is crucial for understanding and engineering the Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect in these topological insulator systems.
This study demonstrates that nonlinear transport measurements can detect sub-picometer lattice distortions and hidden symmetry breaking in CaRuO below 48 K, revealing a transition to an altermagnetic phase that remains undetectable by conventional diffraction techniques.
Measurements of an Fe-doped -GaO(010) photocathode at 300 K reveal an ultracold electron emission component with a 6 meV mean transverse energy arising from direct photoexcitation of Fe dopant states, which coexists with a stronger phonon-mediated emission process and transitions to a short transport regime at higher photon energies when polaron self-energy effects are considered.
This study presents a hybrid physics-informed and data-driven framework utilizing Deep Operator Networks, transfer learning, and Ensemble Kalman Inversion to accurately predict and quantify uncertainty in process-induced deformation of carbon/epoxy composites, ultimately enabling the optimization of non-isothermal cure cycles for deformation mitigation.
This study presents experimental evidence of a unique spin-valley locked state in the bulk Dirac material BaMnBi2, characterized by a four-fold degeneracy and supported by observations of stacked quantum Hall and nonlinear Hall effects, thereby establishing a new platform for valleytronic applications distinct from its sister compound BaMnSb2.
