Universality of the 1/9 Magnetization Plateau and Quantum-Disordered States in the Kagome Family Cs8AB3Ti12F48 (A = Rb, Li; B = K, Na)

This study demonstrates that chemical pressure in the Cs8AB3Ti12F48 kagome family can selectively stabilize a robust 1/9 magnetization plateau and a gapless quantum-disordered ground state in expanded lattices while suppressing these features in compressed variants, suggesting that the 1/9 plateau is a universal feature of frustrated spin-1/2 kagome magnetism distinct from the 1/3 plateau.

Collective spin reorientation-triggered large hysteresis-free magnetostriction with high strain sensitivity in TbMn6Sn6

This study demonstrates that field-induced collective spin reorientation in the kagome ferrimagnet TbMn6Sn6 drives a concomitant magnetic domain reconstruction and selective modification of exchange interactions, resulting in large, hysteresis-free magnetostriction with high strain sensitivity.

Geometry-independent limits of passive thermal rectification: optimal bilayers and gains from material diversity

This paper establishes that the thermal rectification ratio of any passive, steady-state device is fundamentally bounded by the temperature-dependent conductivity curves of its materials, demonstrating that while a matched bilayer achieves the optimal limit for two materials, strategic material diversity can surpass this two-material bound to create superior multi-layer rectifiers.

RC-MIFT: Sharp Robustness Bounds and Screening-Conditioned Response in Materials

This paper introduces the RC-MIFT framework to quantify material response robustness under simultaneous errors by identifying screening leverage as a key conditioning coordinate, deriving sharp nonasymptotic bounds, and validating these findings through numerical audits and reanalysis of diverse experimental and computational datasets.

Locality Spectroscopy of Quantum Statistical Information

This paper introduces locality spectroscopy, a coordinate-invariant framework that links subsystem information structures to Fisher information scaling under local noise, enabling the characterization of how quantum parameter information becomes locally identifiable in composite systems through reanalysis of logical-qubit experiments.

Fractional-Order Viscoelastic Modeling of Seismic P-, S-, and Rayleigh-Wave Attenuation: Marmara Seismotectonic Context, Fault Geometry, and a Reproducible Strong-Motion Framework

This paper develops a mathematically rigorous and geophysically grounded fractional-order viscoelastic framework for modeling seismic P-, S-, and Rayleigh-wave attenuation in the Marmara region, integrating North Anatolian Fault geometry and real-world event data to enable reproducible strong-motion analysis without making specific earthquake predictions.

Composable Security and Finite-Key Analysis ofMulti-Basis BB84 and Phase-Engineered E91Protocols Under Noisy Quantum Channels

This paper presents a unified framework for noise-resilient, multi-basis BB84 and phase-engineered E91 quantum key distribution protocols that integrates zero-noise extrapolation and composable finite-key security analysis to bridge the gap between theoretical guarantees and practical hardware constraints.

Influence of annealing temperature on the structural, morphological and optical properties of sol–gel spin-coated NiO thin films on Si and SiO₂ substrates

This study demonstrates that annealing sol–gel spin-coated NiO thin films on Si and SiO₂ substrates at 600°C optimizes their structural, morphological, and optical properties by promoting the growth of dense, crack-free, well-crystallized cubic rock-salt grains with reduced microstrain and improved band gap characteristics.

Solution-processed Al-doped ZnO nanowire arrays/CuSCN lateral heterojunctions for low-intensity ultraviolet photodetection

This study demonstrates that solution-processed Al-doped ZnO nanowire arrays/CuSCN lateral heterojunctions, particularly with 0.5% Al doping, function as high-performance, self-powered ultraviolet photodetectors with exceptional sensitivity, responsivity, and detectivity under low-intensity illumination.
