Locking Metastable Topological Domains in Nematic Liquid Crystal Pi Cells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective photopolymerization in the presence of a controlled voltage defines permanent director walls that lock‐in metastable bend and twist configurations within nematic liquid crystal Pi cells. Q‐tensor simulations corroborate the experiments, demonstrating the topological state stabilization.

Epitaxial Interface‐Driven Photoresponse Enhancement in Monolayer WS2–MoS2 Lateral Heterostructures

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Surface potential distribution image, along with the derived electric field distribution across the interface, reveals that the electric field reaches its peak at the interface. Additionally, the spectral response of the heterointerface exhibits higher and broader features compared to its bare counterparts.

Alternative fast quantum logic gates using nonadiabatic Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana transitions

Physical Review Research
A conventional realization of quantum logic gates and control is based on resonant Rabi oscillations of the occupation probability of the system. This approach has certain limitations and complications, like counter-rotating terms.

Confinement Driven Spin‐Texture Evolution in Directly Written Nanomagnets

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spin‐texture is directly written by triggering lattice ordering locally at the nanoscale. Geometric confinement drives the formation of spin‐textures such as Néel walls with perpendicular core spins, essential for technological applications. Abstract In low‐dimensional magnetic structures, magnetostatic energy minimization yields a uniform spin‐texture,

No-signaling in topos formulation and a common ontological basis for classical and non-classical physical theories

Zagadnienia Filozoficzne w Nauce, 2020
Starting from logical structures of classical and quantum mechanics we reconstruct the logic of so-called no-signaling theories, where the correlations among subsystems of a composite system are restricted only by a simplest form of causality forbidding ...
