Shape-determined kinetic pathways in two-dimensional solid-solid phase transitions
Solid-solid phase transitions are ubiquitous in nature, but the kinetic pathway of anisotropic particle systems remains elusive, where the coupling between translational and rotational motions plays a critical role in various kinetic processes. Here we investigate this problem by molecular dynamics simulation for two-dimensional ball-stick polygon systems, where pentagon, hexagon, and octagon systems all undergo an isostructural solid-solid phase transition. During heating, the translational mo…

Overcoming frequency resolution limits using a solid-state spin quantum sensor
The ability to determine precisely the separation of two frequencies is fundamental to spectroscopy, yet the resolution limit poses a critical challenge: distinguishing two incoherent signals becomes impossible when their frequencies are sufficiently close. Here, we demonstrate a simple and powerful approach, dubbed {\it superresolution quantum sensing}, which experimentally resolves two nearly identical incoherent signals using a solid-state spin quantum sensor. By identifying a sequence of ``…

Temporal Broadening of Attosecond Pulse Trains Induced by Multi-Band inference in Solid-State High-Order Harmonic Generation
The mechanism underlying high harmonic generation (HHG) in gases has been well clarified, characterizing attosecond pulse trains (APT) in the time domain, significantly advances the synthesis of isolated attosecond pulse (IAP). However, the complexity of HHG in solid obstacles IAP separation. Here, we use time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) to investigate the multiband mechanism of APT in solid state with bulk silicon as prototype. Our research unveils that: 1.

Thermal transport characteristics of impinging ferrofluid droplets in the presence of a magnetic field
Droplet interactions with solid surfaces are fundamental to natural phenomena and hold significant commercial relevance across diverse applications. While the impingement dynamics of conventional aqueous droplets on solid substrates are well-characterized, the behavior of non-aqueous droplets, particularly those influenced by external force fields like electric or magnetic fields, remains a less explored domain. This study addresses this gap by investigating the impact of a magnetic field on th…

Striped excitonic (super)solid in anisotropic semiconductors with screened exciton interactions
Within the Gross-Pitaevskii framework, we reveal the emergence of a crystallized phase of an exciton condensate in an atomically-thin anisotropic semiconductor, where screening of exciton-exciton interactions is introduced by a proximal doped graphene layer.

Quantifying Gibbs measures of disordered crystals up to the solid-liquid phase transition
Quantifying the configuration space and the Gibbs measure of thermally disordered condensed matter systems has been a long standing problem. The challenge is to avoid the Gibbs paradox, which forbids any ordering or labeling of the atoms. Our key observation is that the lattice of a thermally disordered condensed matter system, in either solid, liquid or gas phase, can be fully reconstructed from the Voronoi cells of the atoms alone, even if these Voronoi cells are disassembled and randomly scr…

This study systematically investigates the dynamics of the bacterial transition from free-swimming to surface adhesion, a process characterized by both height $h$ and inclination angle $Ψ$. The surface entrapment process is divided into three main stages. Initially, bacteria swim towards the surface at an approach velocity proportional to the motor rotation frequency. Subsequently, during the reorientation stage, the cotangent of the inclination angle decays exponentially with the product of t…

The fluid domain is discretized into cells that conform exactly to the fluid-solid interface, allowing boundary conditions to be sharply resolved exactly at the inte…

Crystal Nucleation Kinetics and Mechanism: Influence of Interaction Potential
Modulating liquid-to-solid transitions and the resulting crystalline structure for tailored properties is much desired. Colloidal systems are exemplary to this end, but the fundamental knowledge gaps in relating the influence of intermolecular interactions to crystallization behavior continue to hinder progress. In this study, we address this knowledge gap by studying nucleation and growth in systems with modified Lennard-Jones potential. Specifically, we study the commonly used 12-6 potential …

Inhibition of whisker growth by crafting more decomposition-resistant Ti2SnC MAX phase through vanadium solid solution
The exceptional synergy of ceramic and metallic properties within MAX phases positions them as highly promising for a wide array of applications. However, their stability has been threatened by the phenomenon of A-site metal whisker growth. Herein, we have significantly mitigated tin whisker growth in Ti2SnC by incorporating vanadium solutes at its M-site. With an increase in vanadium concentration, there is a marked reduction in the degree of decomposition of the M-site solid solution when sub…

"G'day, mate"

Language learning has been part of me since high school. I'm solid in 2 non-English languages, crappy but survivable in 2 others. I've played with & started learning others many times.
I'm real busy rn, but language learning could be a fun thing to do for myself & make me feel like I'm still me.
But I'm stumped about my language picks. I learnt the obvious European languages in school; later tried key Asian languages. What do I want to do now?
African languages? I won't be getting a chance to use them much in Aus, & I'm unlikely to get to a stage where I can read literature.
I tried Slovenian/Slovene on a whim & really love it, but I'll never go there. Is the practical but unfun answer grind out more kanji/hanzi? Or is whimsically learning a language spoken by only 2.5 million people reasonable? I will continue struggling through with Ukrainian, 'cause I think it's important.

Orbital chiral lasing in twisted bilayer metasurfaces
Chirality is a fundamental concept in physics that underpins various phenomena in nonlinear optics, quantum physics, and topological photonics. Although the spin of a photon naturally brings chirality, orbital angular momentum can also become chirally active in the structures with a broken mirror symmetry. Here, we observe orbital chiral lasing from a twisted bilayer photonic structure leveraging its inherent structural chirality. Specifically, we design and fabricate a Moire-type optical struc…

Quantum sensing of electron beams using solid-state spins
Scattering experiments with energetic particles, such as free electrons, have been historically used to reveal the quantum structure of matter. However, realizing coherent interactions between free-electron beams and solid-state quantum systems has remained out of reach, owing to their intrinsically weak coupling. Realizing such coherent control would open up opportunities for hybrid quantum platforms combining free electrons and solid-state qubits for coincident quantum information processing …

Compositional Tuning in NaxAlB14 via Diffusion Control
A uniform Na distribution in NaxAlB14 was achieved using high-pressure diffusion control (HPDC), which promotes Na deintercalation through enhanced diffusion under high pressure, combined with post-annealing. NaxAlB14 with a non-stoichiometric Na composition is thermodynamically metastable, and conventional solid-state reactions with adjusted starting compositions typically result in the formation of stoichiometric NaAlB14 and side products. While HPDC alone typically leads to concentration gra…

Quantification of the spatiotemporal dynamics of heterogeneous gas-solid flows is critical for the design, scale-up and optimization of gas-solid reactors. In this article, by using the core concept of mesoscience (the compromise in competition between dominant mechanisms), a mathematically rigorous procedure is proposed to develop a mesoscience-based structural theory for the dynamics of heterogeneous gas-solid flows via describing the physical states corresponding to the realization of domina…

Method of canonical transformations in the theory of quantum gases interacting with radiation
An approach to the theoretical study of effects and phenomena in quantum gases interacting with radiation is proposed. The approach is based on a modification of the canonical transformation method, which was once used to diagonalize Hamiltonians describing the interaction of electrons with phonons in a solid. The capabilities of the method are demonstrated by studying the influence of photons on the spectral characteristics of atoms of quantum gases interacting with radiation. Within the frame…

Three-phase contact line dynamics on moving fibers measured by X-ray holography
Wetting of solid surfaces by a liquid is important for many natural and industrial processes such as printing, painting and coating. However, a quantitative description of the dynamic receding and advancing contact angle is still debated, in particular for aqueous solutions. One reason for our lack of quantitative understanding is the limited spatial resolution of currently used optical methods. We therefore present a new approach to access the sub-microscopic region. We use X-ray phase contras…

Solid-Angle Nearest-Neighbor Method for Size-Disperse Systems of Spheres
Identifying nearest neighbors accurately is essential in particle-based simulations, from analyzing local structure to detecting phase transitions. While parameter-free methods such as Voronoi tessellation and the solid-angle nearest-neighbor (SANN) algorithm are effective in monodisperse systems, they become less reliable in mixtures with large size disparities. We introduce SANNR, a generalization of SANN that incorporates particle radii into the solid-angle criterion for robust, size-sensiti…

Investigation of the effects of superhydrophobic surface treatment on the dynamics of the flow in the near wake of a sphere using spatial dynamic mode decomposition
Viscous drag results from the fluid at a surface having zero relative velocity, a phenomenon known as the no-slip condition. Superhydrophobic surfaces, when submerged in water, trap a layer of air in their surface texture, partially replacing the liquid-solid interface with a liquid-gas interface. This air layer, called the plastron, results in partial slip at the surface, thereby reducing the viscous drag. In turbulent flows, large fluctuations in pressure and velocity can deplete or completel…

The exploitation of multimodality in different degrees of freedom is one of the most promising ways to increase the rate of heralded entanglement between distant quantum nodes. In this paper, we realize a spatially-multiplexed solid-state quantum memory array with ten individually controllable spin-wave memory cells featuring on-demand read-out and temporal multiplexing. By combining spatial and temporal multiplexing, we store weak coherent pulses at the single-photon level in up to 250 spatio-…

The effects of defect concentration and location on thermal transport characteristics are investigated for…

Negative intrinsic viscosity in graphene nanoparticle suspensions induced by hydrodynamic slip
The viscosity of nanoparticle suspensions is always expected to increase with particle concentration. However, a growing body of experiments on suspensions of atomically thin nanomaterials such as graphene contradicts this expectation. Some experiments indicate effective suspension viscosity values that fall below that of pure solvent at high shear rates and low solid concentrations, i.e., the intrinsic viscosity is negative. To explain this puzzling phenomenon, we combined molecular dynamics a…

The solid-state environment allows for a high density of electron and nuclear spins with the potential to form registers for coherent information processing. However, it is challenging to reliably address individual spins at nanometer separations where interactions are large. Rare-earth ions offer a unique solution, as their narrow homogeneous optical lin…

Theoretical investigations and simulation frameworks have mainly focused on single-crystalline SSD. In this work, …
