Condensed matter physics in time crystals [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2020 Abstract Time crystals are physical systems whose time translation symmetry is spontaneously broken. Although the spontaneous breaking of continuous time-translation symmetry in static systems is proved impossible for the equilibrium state, the discrete time-translation symmetry in periodically driven (Floquet) systems is allowed to be ...

Soft condensed matter physics [PDF]
Solid State Communications, 1997 Soft condensed matter physics is the study of materials, such as fluids, liquid crystals, polymers, colloids, and emulsions, that are ``soft" to the touch. This article will review some properties, such as the dominance of entropy, that are unique to soft materials and some properties such as the interplay between broken-symmetry, dynamic mode ...

Machine learning for condensed matter physics [PDF]
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2020 Abstract Condensed matter physics (CMP) seeks to understand the microscopic interactions of matter at the quantum and atomistic levels, and describes how these interactions result in both mesoscopic and macroscopic properties. CMP overlaps with many other important branches of science, such as chemistry, materials science, statistical

Efficiently accelerated free electrons by metallic laser accelerator
Nature Communications, 2023 Strong electron-photon interactions occurring in a dielectric laser accelerator provide the potential for development of a compact electron accelerator. Theoretically, metallic materials exhibiting notable surface plasmon-field enhancements can possibly ...

Phase diagram of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ revisited
Nature Communications, 2018 The doping level of cuprate superconductors is usually difficult to determine. Here, Drozdov et al. report spectroscopic studies of in-situ modified Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ , exploring not only the superconducting dome but also the previously inaccessible, non ...

Para-hydrodynamics from weak surface scattering in ultraclean thin flakes
Nature Communications, 2023 Electron hydrodynamics typically emerges in electron fluids with a high electron–electron collision rate. However, new experiments with thin flakes of WTe2 have revealed that other momentum-conserving scattering processes can replace the role of the ...

Improved figure of merit (z) at low temperatures for superior thermoelectric cooling in Mg3(Bi,Sb)2
Nature Communications, 2023 The low-temperature thermoelectric performance of Bi-rich n-type Mg3(Bi,Sb)2 was limited by the electron transport scattering at grain boundaries, while removing grain boundaries and bulk crystal growth of Mg-based Zintl phases are challenging due to the

Giant magnetoelectric effects achieved by tuning spin cone symmetry in Y-type hexaferrites
Nature Communications, 2017 Control of the electrical properties of materials by means of magnetic fields or vice versa may facilitate next-generation spintronic devices, but is still limited by their intrinsically weak magnetoelectric effect. Here, the authors report the existence
