Cartesian tensor equivariant machine-learning force field for spin-dependent atomistic simulations
Magnetic materials exhibit an intricate coupling between atomic structure and spin degrees of freedom, posing a fundamental challenge for atomistic simulations across experimentally relevant length…Particle-Mediated Tuning of Defect Stability in Lamellar Block Copolymer Systems
We study how colloidal inclusions modify the formation energy of dislocation pairs in lamellar block copolymer systems.FABO: Agent-Guided Discovery of Joint Breakpoint Optimization for Timing-Driven Routing Trees
The topology of a routing tree determines how a multi-pin net branches and shares physical wire, directly affecting wirelength, congestion, capacitance, and delay.A multi-scale study to unravel the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts
Understanding the dehydration mechanism of hydrated salts remains fundamentally important in solid state chemistry, as their behavior affect fields ranging from heat storage to heritage conservation…Predicting Residential Rents in Dakar Using Machine Learning
Dakar's residential rental market remains poorly documented despite its economic and social importance: 54.4% of households are renters, compared to 23.3% nationally.Coexisting Large and Small Polarons in Photoexcited CeO$_2$
Time-resolved terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is used to probe polaron formation in CeO$_2$.Viscoelastic interfacial structures in undersaturated calcium solutions under nanoconfinement
Calcium mineralisation underpins processes ranging from biomineralisation to scalable carbon storage, yet the earliest stages of nucleation remain unresolved.Halide donors in monoclinic- and corundum-phase Ga$_2$O$_3$ and Al$_2$O$_3$
We present a systematic first-principles investigation of halide impurities (F and Cl) in Ga$_2$O$_3$ and Al$_2$O$_3$, considering both monoclinic and corundum phases.Extending the Pnictide Chemical Space for Photovoltaics
Developing novel and efficient materials that are beyond silicon for photovoltaic (PV) applications is required to meet the upcoming energy needs of our societies.Role of self-coherence in single-electron phase contrast imaging
The extension of coherent lattice contrast into the energy loss region in high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is described by a pulse-like electron-sample interaction in the…Moiré-induced lattice reconstruction at buried atomic interfaces
Atomic reconstruction at twisted two-dimensional interfaces governs many of their emergent optical, electronic, and mechanical properties, including sliding ferroelectricity.Breakdown of Charge-Conjugation Symmetry of Disclinations in 2D Crystals
Disclinations are elementary topological defects in two-dimensional (2D) crystalline membranes, yet their elastic properties remain largely unexplored.Learning Materials Properties from Scarce Labels and Unlabeled Crystals
Learning materials properties from scarce labels and unlabeled crystals is a central challenge for data-driven materials discovery.Experimental Observation of Mesoscopic Dynamic Fluctuations in Water-Alcohol Mixtures
We applied a dynamic fluctuation measurement method to liquid water-methanol mixtures over a wide range of compositions and temperatures.Machine learning reveals common features of unconventional superconductors with high transition temperatures
Superconductors with high critical temperatures that emerges beyond the phonon-mediated regime are usually considered unconventional in nature, yet unlike conventional superconductors, no broadly…Fine structure of the M-center in Si
Color centers in silicon offer great possibilities for scalable quantum technologies.Site-Selective Activation of Near-Infrared Emitters in hBN
Near-infrared (NIR) emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have recently emerged as bright and spectrally stable light sources, but they have so far been found at locations set by the local…Terahertz Control of Optical Second-Harmonic Generation in Displacive Ferroelectrics: Electronic Bloch-State Reconstruction
Optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) is a powerful probe of ferroelectric order, yet its microscopic origin and dynamical control are often understood primarily from symmetry considerations…Dark exciton signatures in the infrared transient absorption of MoS$_2$ monolayer
Dark excitons play a central role in the nonequilibrium dynamics of two-dimensional semiconductors, but remain difficult to characterize.Supermoiré Reconstruction and Topological Mosaics in Twisted Trilayer WSe$_2$ and MoTe$_2$
We investigate lattice relaxation and band structures of helical and alternating twisted trilayer WSe$_2$ and MoTe$_2$ using machine-learning force fields and large-scale ab initio calculations.
