Author(s): Haireguli Aihemaiti, Esmat Dastanpour, Anders Bergman, and Levente Vitos Using $ab$ $initio$ density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we investigate the electronic structure, phase stability, and magnetic properties of equiatomic binary alloys between Al and $3d$ magnetic transition elements (Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni). Thermodynamically, all five binary aluminides are… [Phys. Rev. Materials 10, 014404] Published Tue Jan 13, 2026

Cuellar, Xavier Palermo, Anke Sander, Vincent Humbert, Javier Briatico, Jacobo Santamaria, Juan Trastoy, Salvatore Mesoraca, and Javier E. Villegas Superconductor/ferromagnet interfaces are fertile ground for emergent phenomena that result from competing interactions. All-oxide heterostructures based in high-Tc superconducting cuprates and half-metallic manganites...

Dijksman Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and are used extensively in daily life and in industry. The modeling of these materials remains challenging; therefore, finding models with acceptable predictive accuracy that at the same time also reflect the complexity of the granular dynamics is a centr… [Phys.

Author(s): Rui Zhang, Ruth Osovsky, Jun Jiang, James N. Fry, Martin M. Fejer, Carmen S. Menoni, and Hai-Ping Cheng In the pursuit of identifying improved amorphous oxide coatings for gravitational wave detector test masses, 44% Ti-doped ${\mathrm{GeO}}_{2}$ has emerged as a potential candidate due to its low mechanical loss [Vajente et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 071101 (2021) ]. It has been proposed...

Author(s): Anuradha Wijesinghe, Yongxi Ou, Anjali Rathore, Chandima Kasun Edirisinghe, Pradip Adhikari, An-Hsi Chen, Dustin Gilbert, Anthony Richardella, Nitin Samarth, and Joon Sue Lee Antimony (Sb), an element with strong spin-orbit coupling, is predicted to undergo a topological phase transition from a topological semimetal to a topological insulator as its dimensionality approaches the two-dimensional limit, driven by the quantum confinement...

Author(s): Yerin Hong, Juhwan Lim, Jinhong Min, Nishkarsh Agarwal, Robert Hovden, Ageeth A. Bol, and Yiyang Li Electrochemical lithium intercalation in the van der Waals gaps of MoS2 can be used to control its crystal phase and physical properties. Applications include electronic contacts, batteries, neuromorphic computing, and thermal switches. In this work, the authors study the dynamics of the phase transformations upon the removal of lithium...

Author(s): Tetiana Orlova, Amaranta Membrillo Solis, Hayley R. O. Sohn, Tristan Madeleine, Giampaolo D'Alessandro, Ivan I. Smalyukh, Malgosia Kaczmarek, and Jacek Brodzki Understanding the fundamental principles of dynamic many-body systems from their temporally and spatially varying pattern images provides valuable insights into living and abiotic matter. Using liquid-crystalline skyrmion arrays as a model system, the authors apply geometric...
