Lateral Epitaxy Suppresses Self-Trapped Excitons in 2D perovskites

This study demonstrates that constructing lateral epitaxial heterostructures between PEA2PbCl4 and Sn-alloyed PEA2Pb1-xSnxBr4 suppresses self-trapped exciton emission and significantly enhances carrier mobility by mechanically stabilizing the lattice and facilitating efficient interfacial energy transfer.

A Reproducible Workflow for Extracting Quantum Hamiltonians from Surface-Adsorbate Models

This paper presents an open-source, reproducible workflow that bridges density functional theory surface models and quantum algorithms by automatically extracting hydrogen-capped clusters, selecting active spaces, and constructing validated fermionic and qubit Hamiltonians for surface-catalysis systems like IrO2(110) without requiring high-performance computing.

Higher-Order Photon Correlation Imaging with Single-Photon Detector Arrays Enables Noise-Blind Source Separation

This paper presents a noise-blind source separation technique for space-based faint target detection that utilizes a random dynamic mask modulation scheme to generate super-bunching light and achieve higher-order photon correlation imaging with single-photon detector arrays, enabling ultra-wide dynamic range, high-speed imaging even under extreme background noise and photon-starved conditions.

Multi-Knob Switchable Chiral Superconductivity Quartet in Rhombohedral Graphene

This study demonstrates that rhombohedral hexalayer graphene serves as a multi-knob platform where carrier density, displacement field, and out-of-plane magnetic field can be tuned to switch between all four spin-valley isospin flavors, establishing a programmable quartet of chiral superconducting states derived from distinct quarter-metal parent phases.
