Localized states in graphene have garnered significant attention in quantum information science due to their potential applications. Despite graphene's superior transport and electronic properties compared to other semiconductors, achieving nanoscale confinement remains challenging due to its gapless nature. In this study, we explore the unique transport properties along nanowrinkles in monolayer graphene. We demonstrate the creation of a one-dimensional conduction channel by alternating pseudo-magnetic fields along the nanowrinkle, enabling ballistic Dirac fermion transport without leakage. This suggests a feasible method for secure quantum information transfer over long distances. Furthermore, we extend our analysis to bent nanowrinkles, showcasing well-guided Dirac fermion propagation unless the bent angle is sufficiently large. Our demonstration of the nanowrinkle waveguide in graphene introduces a novel approach to controlling Dirac fermion transport through strain engineering, for quantum information technology applications.

Sm$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$, a member of rare-earth titanate pyrochlores, exhibits dipolar-octupolar antiferromagnetism below $T_N$ = 0.35 K. We observed two ferroelectric transitions at 182 ($T_{FE1}$) and 52 K ($T_{FE2}$), significantly higher than $T_N$ for Sm$_2$Ti$_{2-x}$V$_x$O$_7$ ($x$ = 0, 0.1). Although the ferroelectric transition temperatures remain unchanged, the polarization value decreases considerably with V doping. A structural transition to a polar $R3m$ rhombohedral phase from the cubic $Fdbar{3}m$ structure occurs at $T_{FE1}$, involving a distortion in the pyochlore lattice. Remarkably, significant linear magnetoelectric coupling is observed in both compounds, with further enhancement of magnetoelectric coupling due to magnetic V doping. The existence of magnetoelectric coupling without long-range magnetic order in a frustrated pyrochlore system could enable the tailoring of magnetoelectric coupling properties, which can be further fine-tuned through V doping. The emergence of ferroelectricity in a frustrated magnetic system introduces an intriguing aspect to these compounds and paves the way for developing ferroelectric order driven by the alleviation of magnetic frustration in pyrochlore systems.
Sm$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ 是稀土钛酸盐火成岩的一种,在 $T_N$ = 0.35 K 以下表现出两极-八极反铁磁性。我们观察到 Sm$_2$Ti$_{2-x}$V$_x$O$_7$ ($x$=0,0.1) 在 182 ($T_{FE1}$) 和 52 K ($T_{FE2}$) 发生了两个铁电转换,明显高于 $T_N$。在 $T_{FE1}$ 时,结构从立方的 $Fdbar{3}m$ 结构转变为极性的 $R3m$ 菱形相,这涉及到菱形晶格的畸变。值得注意的是,在这两种化合物中都观察到了显著的线性磁电耦合,而磁性 V 掺杂又进一步增强了磁电耦合。掺杂磁性 V 可进一步增强磁电耦合。在受挫火绿宝石体系中存在无长程磁序的磁电耦合,这使得磁电耦合特性的定制成为可能,并可通过掺杂 V 对其进行进一步微调。在沮喪磁性體系中出現的鐵電性為這些化合物帶來了有趣的一面,並為在火成體系中緩解磁沮喪驅動鐵電秩序的發展鋪平了道路。

Piezoelectricity, the generation of electric charge in response to mechanical stress, is a key property in both natural and synthetic materials. This study significantly boosts the piezoelectric response of chitosan, a biodegradable biopolymer, by integrating chitin/chitosan nanocrystals into natural chitosan-based thin film elastomers. The resulting materials achieve d$_{33}$ values of 15-19 pmV$^{-1}$, a marked improvement over the 5-9 pmV$^{-1}$ observed in pure chitosan films thanks to increased crystallinity from the nanocrystals. We utilize piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) to accurately measure the d$_{33}$ coefficient, employing an engineered extraction method that eliminates the electrostatic contribution, which can overestimate the piezoelectric response. The resulting chitosan elastomers exhibit elastic deformation up to 40% strain and a Young's modulus of approximately 100 MPa, similar to soft tissues. These properties, along with the fact that the employed materials can be entirely crafted from upcycled biowaste, make these elastomers ideal for prosthetics, wearable devices, energy harvesters, and sustainable transducers. Our findings underscore the potential of chitosan-based piezoelectric materials for advanced applications in biotechnology, soft robotics, and the green Internet of Things.

Machine Learning (ML) is accelerating the progress of materials prediction and classification, with particular success in CGNN designs. While classical ML methods remain accessible, advanced deep networks are still challenging to build and train. We introduce two new adaptations and refine two existing ML networks for generic crystalline quantum materials properties prediction and optimization. These new models achieve state-of-the-art performance in predicting TQC classification and strong performance in predicting band gaps, magnetic classifications, formation energies, and symmetry group. All networks easily generalize to all quantum crystalline materials property predictions. To support this, full implementations and automated methods for data handling and materials predictions are provided, facilitating the use of deep ML methods in quantum materials science. Finally, dataset error rates are analyzed using an ensemble model to identify and highlight highly atypical materials for further investigations.

Based on geometric phases of Bloch electrons computed from first-principles, we propose a scheme for unambiguous partitioning of charge in matter, derivable directly from the Kohn-Sham states. Generalizing the fact that geometric phases acquired by electrons due to evolution of their crystal momentum $vec k$ in a direction through out the Brillouin zone(BZ), provide position of their localization with net minimum spread along the corresponding direction in real space. We find that the total charge can be meaningfully distributed into charge centres simultaneously contributed by triads of electrons with their crystal momentum evolving linearly independently through each unique $vec k$ across the BZ. The resultant map of charge centres readily renders not only the qualitative nature of inter-atomic as well as intra-atomic hybridization of electrons, but also unbiased quantitative estimates of electrons on atoms or shared between them, as demonstrated in a select variety of isolated and periodic systems with varying degree of sharing of valence electrons among atoms, including variants of multi-centered bonds.

We analyze the transport properties of curved, three-dimensional graphite samples in strong magnetic fields. Focusing on a millimeter-scale graphite cylinder as a prototypical curved object, we perform longitudinal and Hall voltage measurements while applying quantizing magnetic fields. These measurements are investigated as a function of field strength and angles. Most importantly, we find that angle-dependent Shubnikov-de Hass oscillations are superimposed with angle-independent features. Reproducing the experimental observations, we introduce a network model that accounts for the cylindrical geometry effect by conceptualizing the cylinder as composed of strips of planar graphite in an effectively inhomogeneous magnetic field. Our work highlights how the interplay between geometric curvature and quantizing magnetic fields can be leveraged to engineer tunable spatial current densities within solid-state systems, and paves the way for understanding transport properties of curved and bent three-dimensional samples more generally.

As a special type of collinear antiferromagnetism (AFM), altermagnetism has garnered significant research interest recently. Altermagnets exhibit broken parity-time symmetry and zero net magnetization in real space, leading to substantial band splitting in momentum space even in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. Meanwhile, parity-time symmetry breaking always induce nontrivial band topology such as Weyl nodes. While Weyl semimetal states and nodal lines have been theoretically proposed in altermagnets, rare reports of experimental observation have been made up to this point. Using ARPES and first-principles calculations, we systematically studied the electronic structure of the room-temperature altermagnet candidate CrSb. At generic locations in momentum space, we clearly observed band spin splitting. Furthermore, we identified discrete surface Fermi arcs on the (100) cleaved side surface close to the Fermi level originating from bulk band topology. Our results imply that CrSb contains interesting nontrivial topological Weyl physics, in addition to being an excellent room temperature altermagnet.

We study the influence of two mutual friction models on quantized vortices and normal fluid using two-way coupled simulations of superfluid $^4$He. The normal fluid is affected by quantized vortices via mutual friction. A previous study [Y. Tang, et al. Nat. Commun. 14, 2941 (2023)] compared the time evolutions of the vortex ring radius and determined that the self-consistent two-way coupled mutual friction (S2W) model yielded better agreement with the experimental results than the two-way coupled mutual friction (2W) model whose model parameters were determined through experiments with rotating superfluid helium. In this study, we compare the two models in more detail in terms of the quantized vortex ring propagation, reconnection, and thermal counterflow. We found that the S2W model exhibits better results than the 2W model on the microscopic scale near a quantized vortex, such as during quantized vortex ring propagation and reconnection, although the S2W model requires a higher spatial resolution. For complex flows such as a thermal counterflow, the 2W model can be applied even to a low-resolution flow while maintaining the anisotropic normal fluid velocity fluctuations. In contrast, the 2W model predicts lower normal fluid velocity fluctuations than the S2W model. The two models show probability density functions with $- 3$ power-law tails for the normal fluid velocity fluctuations.

Using a diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) technique, we calculated the phase diagram of 3He adsorbed on a first solid layer of a molecular hydrogen isotope (H2,HD and D2) on top of graphite. The results are qualitatively similar in all cases: a two-dimensional gas spanning from the infinite dilution limit to a second-layer helium density of 0.048 +/- 0.004 Ang^{-2}. That gas is in equilibrium with a 7/12 commensurate structure, more stable than any incommensurate triangular solid of similar density. These findings are in reasonably good agreement with available experimental data.

Topological magnetism has sparked an unprecedented age in quantum technologies. Marked by twisted spin structures with exotic dynamical modes, topological magnets have motivated a new generation of spintronic devices which transcend the limits of conventional semiconductor-based electronics. While existing material probes have biased studies and device conceptualizations for thin samples in two dimensions, advancements in three-dimensional probing techniques using beams of neutrons, are transforming our understanding of topological and emergent physics to reimagine spintronic devices. Here, we review recent neutron scattering breakthroughs which harness quantum degrees of freedom to enable three-dimensional topological investigations of quantum materials. We discuss applications of structured and tomographic neutron scattering techniques to topological magnets, with particular emphasis on magnetic skyrmion systems and their inspired three-dimensional logic device infrastructures through novel multi-bit encoding and control schemes. SANS-based dynamic visualizations and coherent manipulations of three-dimensional topological qubits are proposed using electric field controls of depth-dependant helicities and spin-orbit tuning of the neutron beam.
