We present a detailed analysis of the universal relationship between grain boundary (GB) free energy and GB self-diffusion coefficient derived by Borisov et al. (1964). This relationship was expressed by a simple equation that was used in…
We present a computational framework for characterizing the molecular self-organization of cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao) during dark chocolate tempering through the lens of Topological Data Analysis (TDA). A physics-inspired particle…
Controlling collective electronic phases in low-dimensional materials is a central challenge for developing technologies based on charge-density waves. Here, we report that perpendicular electric and magnetic fields can be used to tune…
Resolving transient atomic configurations in non-crystalline or dynamic environments remains a fundamental bottleneck in the physical sciences. While X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is a premier probe of local structure, inverting…
Antiferroelectrics generate significant interest since their polarization versus electric field (PE) curves show typical double-hysteresis loops appealing for various applications. Unfortunately, antiferroelectrics are rare. In magnetic…
While Floquet engineering offers a powerful paradigm for manipulating topological phases, particularly Floquet Weyl semimetals, establishing an experimentally feasible strategy for tracking the dynamic evolution of such states remains a…
Achieving a giant anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and enabling its effective tuning are fundamental goals for topological spintronics. Magnetic Weyl semimetals hosting flat bands offer a promising route to maximize the AHE. However, while…
Unconventional magnetism represents a paradigm shift in condensed matter physics, effectively bridging the fast, high-density advantages of antiferromagnets with the facile read-write capability of ferromagnets. Recent developments in spin…
Controlling ion transport is a fundamental challenge for advanced energy storage. Bilayer graphene offers a unique platform for modulating ion diffusion via twist-angle-dependent moire superlattices, yet conventional stacking configurations…
We present a neural-operator-accelerated concurrent multiscale framework that couples atomistic simulations with continuum finite-element analysis for history-dependent materials, thereby making atomistic-continuum multiscale simulations of…
The small amplitude perturbations of spins are considered in the four component antiferromagnetic materials with the equilibrium state of form up-up-down-down (uniaxial samples). Other configurations for the four component antiferromagnetic…
Photoplasticity, the light-induced change in plastic deformation, plays a pivotal role in the mechanical durability and manufacturing of semiconductor materials. Yet, its governing mechanisms remain incompletely understood, owing to the…
The discovery of intrinsic spin orbit fields in noncentrosymmetric ferromagnets has attracted considerable interest for both fundamental studies and technological applications. However, once such materials are synthesized, the strength of…
It is generally assumed that the application of a charge-current in ferromagnetic metals suppresses their ferromagnetic order through trivial Joule heating. Here, we demonstrate that a charge current can instead enhance magnetic ordering.…
Twisting two atomic layers produces a geometric moire pattern, but bonding-induced interfacial reconstruction fundamentally transforms this into an ordered dislocation network - a distinction obscured in weakly-bonded van der Waals systems.…
We report the investigation of magnetostrictive property of polycrystalline ZnO film at room temperature on rotating a magnetic field in the plane of the film from 0 deg to 90 deg by an indigenously developed optical cantilever beam…
The increasing prevalence of pharmaceutical contaminants within the aquatic environment has generated considerable environmental concerns, especially regarding persistent anticancer medications like the kinase inhibitor sorafenib (SRF),…
Gallium oxide is an ultra-wide bandgap semiconductor with exceptional properties for power electronics and UV-C optoelectronics, but its behavior under illumination remains poorly understood. In this work, we investigate how optically…
The pursuit of high-performance, rare-earth-free magnetostrictive materials is crucial for advancing technologies in sensing, actuation, and microelectromechanical systems. Heusler alloys represent a promising, yet underexplored, class of…
Understanding how bubbles influence the efficiency of water electrolysis is crucial to achieve economically competitive hydrogen, generated by renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power. Water electrolysis is typically performed…
