The shape-memory effect of two photon polymerization (TPP)-fabricated microfibers in water was revealed and precisely quantified using a novel tensile testing method.
A multimodal scanning probe microscopy (SPM) approach reveals fast ionically mediated electromechanical coupling in the van der Waals ferroelectric CuInP2S6 (CIPS) along with an enhanced and tunable conductivity at chemical phase b
Our investigations on bulk CrCl3 phonons suggest that in-plane spins are essential but specific spin configurations do not matter, which provides insights into recent magnetic-field-dependent thermal transport measurements.
Polymeric liquids exhibit complex and fascinating flow behavior. Despite the remarkable theoretical progress brought about by the tube model, understanding the molecular dynamics of long-chain molecules under flow still faces formidable challenges.
Magnetic skyrmions are topologically-nontrivial spin textures with potentially transformative applications in quantum computing and information storage. Skyrmions usually occur in crystals without a center of inversion symmetry.
The kagome net made of corner sharing triangles has long been studied as a source of magnetic frustration. More recently, interest has risen in the role of this frustrated geometry on electronic properties.
2D verbeekite, the monoclinic phase of PdSe2, was directly synthesized under the Se deficient condition using an ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition method.
Magnons in a honeycomb-lattice ferromagnet have an analogous description to the single-orbital tight-binding model for electrons in graphene.
