Quantum Monte Carlo simulations reveal that Cooper pairs in the cuprate high-Tc superconductors are composed of electron holes on the Cu-d orbital and on the bonding molecular orbital constructed from the four surrounding O-p orbitals.

Neutron scattering and atomic dynamics simulations reveal that complex crystals can conduct heat like a glass through diffusive quantum hopping. The revealed strategies will enable the down-tuning
Through computer simulations of a microscopic model for a skyrmion crystal, theoreticians discovered an unexpectedly complex spin dynamics stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Understanding spin dynamics is of fundamental importance to
Neutron scattering experiments on a honeycomb lattice magnet revealed a unique signature of quantum magnetism. These results showed how inelastic neutron scattering can be used to detect and decode quantum magnetism and distinguish truly quantum
Researchers demonstrated that superlattices of alternating TiO2 and VO2 layers dramatically expand the tunability range of the metal–insulator transition (MIT) in the strongly correlated VO2.1 The demonstration of a wide tunability range for the e
Scientists have unraveled details of the mechanism of mechanical reinforcement in glassy polymer nanocomposites.1 Measurements in the interfacial layer ~2–4 nm around nanoparticles revealed that Young’s modulus, which defines the relationship between
Misfit heterojunctions formed by van der Waals (vdW) epitaxial growth of one crystalline metal chalcogenide monolayer on another was demonstrated for the first time to form p-n junctions that exhibit a photovoltaic response.
