This study establishes that ultra-clean RuO single crystals exhibit a weakly-correlated 3D Fermi-liquid state with a characteristic temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility driven by enhanced orbital contributions from lattice expansion, resolving ongoing debates about its magnetic nature.
This paper presents a comprehensive benchmark comparing a GPU-accelerated finite-difference phase-field code (GPU-PF) and a CPU-parallelized finite-element adaptive-mesh code (PRISMS-PF) for simulating directional solidification of Al-Cu and SCN-camphor alloys under experimentally relevant conditions, validating their accuracy in predicting dendritic morphology and tip dynamics while evaluating their computational performance to support integrated computational materials engineering workflows.
This contribution presents a physics-guided Bayesian active learning framework that integrates a Langmuir adsorption model with a two-stage parameter estimation strategy to autonomously and efficiently optimize pulse durations in atomic layer deposition, thereby achieving faster convergence, higher prediction accuracy, and significantly reduced precursor consumption compared to conventional data-driven approaches.
This paper presents an integrated, FAIR-aligned workflow that combines version control, automated testing, structured logging, and standardized post-processing to establish a complete data provenance chain ensuring reproducibility from code development to published figures in numerical physics simulations.
This paper demonstrates that non-Abelian multigap band topology, characterized by nontrivial Euler class invariants, induces observable magnetononlinear Hall effects in tunable two-dimensional kagome metal-organic frameworks, offering a pathway to experimentally detect this uncharted topological phase through controllable magnetotransport measurements.
This paper presents a scalable, GPU-centric finite-element projector augmented-wave (PAW-FE) method that leverages algorithmic innovations like mixed-precision arithmetic and Chebyshev filtered subspace iteration to achieve significant speedups and exascale-ready performance for large-scale, chemically accurate density functional theory simulations.
