Identifying the Shear Piezoelectric Coefficient using Physics-Informed Neural Networks under Exact Boundary and Initial Constraints
The shear piezoelectric coefficient $e_{15}$ governs the shear-mode electromechanical coupling in piezoelectric micromachined ultrasonic transducers (PMUTs) and surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices…Quantifying out-of-distribution data severity with Wasserstein distances: benchmarking large language models for alloy property prediction
As general-purpose Large Language Models (LLMs), such as Gemini and DeepSeek, exhibit increasingly advanced reasoning capabilities, a critical question arises: how do their property prediction…InformedXRD: Reproducible Benchmarks and Physics-Informed Evaluation for Powder Diffraction Symmetry Classification
Machine learning for powder diffraction (PXRD) symmetry classification is being trained at scale, yet the field lacks a common evaluation standard: papers report results on different subsets of…Atomistic Insights into MOCVD Growth of GaAs using a Closed Loop Autonomous System Combining Directed Reinforcement Learning and Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations
Conventional process optimization of the Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) growth parameters to achieve high-quality thin films relies on iterative, resource-intensive experimental runs.Pore-scale mechanisms of capillary imbibition in cement-based materials revealed by direct numerical simulations in a realistic FIB-SEM microstructure
Moisture transport in cement-based materials involves transient multiphase flow through highly irregular pore networks, where evolving air--water interfaces strongly influence liquid invasion and…Controlling the Sign and Magnitude of the Thermoreflectance Coefficient of Gold-MoS$_2$ Metamaterials
Heating a material changes how much light it reflects.Chirality-Induced Angular-Momentum Pumping by Moving Charges
Chirality-induced spin selectivity is established even in light elements at room temperature; dissipation and electron correlations are implicated, here combined in one mechanism.LM6-CastBench: A Geometry-Aware Simulation Dataset for Transient Thermal Prediction in LM6 Sand Casting
Transient thermal fields during solidification connect casting process conditions and cooling behaviour to the formation of defect-prone regions in aluminum cast ings.Autonomous Analysis of Thermoelectric Materials Big Data by Multi-Agentic AI and Construction of a Knowledge Base and Specialized AI
Extracting knowledge from large databases of experimental materials data requires repeated analyses and reusable records of their choices and results.Beyond Synthesis Conditions: Linking In-situ Growth Dynamics to Carbon Nanotube Forest Properties through Multimodal Machine Learning
Machine learning for chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has largely mapped static synthesis conditions to final properties, implicitly treating these conditions as a complete…Efficient Interpolation of the Bethe-Salpeter Hamiltonian at Arbitrary Momenta
We develop an efficient reciprocal-space method to reconstruct the static Bethe-Salpeter (BSE) Hamiltonian at arbitrary crystal momenta from coarse first-principles grids.Cooling-path-selected self-assembly of telecom InAsP quantum dots
Epitaxial quantum dots are leading solid-state sources of quantum light, but reproducible growth on indium phosphide (InP) remains challenging because dot-formation windows are narrow and emission…Programmable Droplets as Active Matter in a Reconfigurable Environment
Exploring systems that bridge the gap between non living and living matter requires a reconfigurable environment coupled to synthetic systems capable of autonomous motion, adaptive behaviour and…Graph-Covariant Bottom-Up Scale-Bridging Reconstruction of Ground and Excited States of Extended Systems
We propose a hierarchical scale-bridging construction for building first principles electronic structure models of extended molecular aggregates with disorder, and its practical realization in…A variational phase-field theory of cohesive fracture at finite deformation
This paper formulates a kinematically and variationally consistent phase-field theory for cohesive fracture at finite deformation.Shock Loading Accesses Reaction Pathways beyond Accelerated Thermolysis
Thermolysis and shock loading can produce similar major stable products in energetic materials, despite different chemical evolution and reaction pathways.Field-resolved observation and quantification of the instantaneous Kerr response in semiconductors
The optical Kerr effect, whereby the refractive index of a material changes with light intensity, underpins nonlinear photonics and emerging mid-infrared technologies.A rhombic spin-1 interpretation of a room-temperature GaN emitter
Single defects in GaN show optically detected magnetic resonance at room temperature.Th$^{4+}$ ion cluster structures and electric field gradients in $^{229}$Th:CaF$_2$
