This study establishes single-layer CrS as the first A-type antiferromagnet with a detectable Néel vector switching capability, driven by a substrate-induced magnetic moment imbalance that enables 180° rotation while maintaining air stability and a Néel temperature of approximately 160 K.
This paper proposes and demonstrates that engineering symmetry-defined periodic potentials, such as those from twisted hBN moiré patterns, can effectively spatially separate photoexcited carriers in monolayer InSe to enhance photocatalytic efficiency while preserving the material's intrinsic surface chemistry.
This paper introduces a quantitative method based on power-dependent photoluminescence and the Saha equation to accurately determine the free-carrier fraction in 2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites, offering a reliable tool for analyzing excited-state dynamics under realistic operating conditions while revealing spatial variations near grain boundaries.
This paper introduces a physics-informed computational framework that reconstructs the three-dimensional atomic geometry and millisecond-scale dynamics of free-standing graphene from single low-dose TEM images, enabling the quantitative correlation of sub-angstrom structural fluctuations with localized electronic properties while establishing critical dose thresholds for beam-sensitive materials.
This paper establishes a rigorous symmetry framework identifying 28 space groups that host exactly four double-Weyl fermions, proposes the chiral carbon allotrope THRLN-C as a material realization, and elucidates its strain-driven topological phase transitions into various exotic or trivial states.
This paper presents a revised and simplified implementation of the FMPM(k) approximate full mass matrix inverse method for Material Point Method simulations, which resolves compatibility conflicts with lumped-mass features and addresses stability and efficiency concerns at higher orders.
This study demonstrates that the topological magneto-optical response in even-layered MnBiTe thin films can be switched between axion insulating and Chern insulating states with quantized Faraday rotation by manipulating the relative spin alignment of outermost septuple-layers, enabling thickness-dependent multilevel optical switching.
This paper proposes a unified machine learning framework integrating Potential-Embedded MACE and Potential-Embedded Electron Density Prediction to simultaneously and accurately simulate atomic forces and electron density distributions across arbitrary electric potentials, enabling large-scale studies of electrochemical interfaces like the Pt(111)/water system.
This paper proposes a novel laboratory test of gravity that combines seismic-wave measurements with cosmic-ray muon detections to constrain quantum-gravity corrections to the Debye model while eliminating density-related uncertainties through muon tomography.
This study predicts a sizable anomalous Hall effect in the collinear antiferromagnet CaCrO through first-principles calculations and symmetry analysis, revealing that its C-type magnetic ordering and spin-orbit coupling-induced gapped nodal lines generate significant Berry curvature despite the absence of net magnetization.
