Scientific Achievement: Ion flux diagnostics combined with in-situ Raman spectroscopy revealed that damage to monolayer (ML) graphene during pulsed laser deposition (PLD) of a protective layer is primarily driven by fast ions, and that
Scientific Achievement: Method developed for solids matches accuracy of quantum chemistry approaches with a 1000 times smaller basis allowing calculations of larger systems.
Scientific Achievement: Neutron and X-ray scattering show that bulk RuO₂ exhibits a highly correlated ground state without magnetic moments, despite prior claims of altermagnetism.
Scientific Achievement: Atomic-scale simulations and experiments revealed the acidity of MgO surface sites and suggested their hydroxylation as the mechanism for Mg(OH)2 conversion.
Scientific Achievement: Using novel non-invasive characterization, demonstrated that dynamic bonding in fiber-polymer interface controls the topological freezing transition and induces shape reforming of the glassy material.
Scientific Achievement: Cantilever-based measurement demonstrated that collective chiral atomic vibrations, known as chiral phonons, possess and transport angular momentum, connecting quantum properties to mechanical responses.
Scientific Achievement: By resolving the atomic structure of individual layers in twisted bilayers, this work provides unprecedented access to dopant and defect distributions that were previously inaccessible due to moiré-induced obscur
Scientific Achievement: Calculations predict, contrary to common belief, that magnon mode softening and decoherence of magnetic excitations can arise in purely electronic quantum models without phonons.
Scientific Achievement: AlCl3-containing molten salts were found to ensure high catalytic efficiency in the conversion of polyethylene plastics to fuels through the stabilization of carbenium interm
Scientific Achievement: Neutron diffraction, angular resolved photoemission (ARPES), and density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a spin‑density wave (SDW) ground state driven by electronic van Hove singularities (VHSs) in th
