Quantum critical theories in a periodic potential: strange metallic thermoelectric and magnetotransport

Journal of High Energy Physics
We study DC and AC thermoelectric and magnetotransport in 2D quantum critical theories with strong translational symmetry breaking due to a varying chemical potential lattice with zero average μ ¯ $$ \overline{\mu} $$ = 0.

Symmetry Breaking as Boundary Constraint Selection in Quantum Field Theory

This provocative theoretical physics paper challenges one of the most mysterious aspects of modern quantum field theory: why does nature seem to "spontaneously" select one vacuum state from countless identical possibilities when fundamental symmetries break?

Interlayer‐Sliding‐Enabled Multiferroicity and Giant Switchable Anomalous Hall Conductivity in RuO2Zn2F2 Bilayer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Interlayer sliding in the RuO2Zn2F2 bilayer induces ferroelectricity and enables reversible valley polarization switching. The electric dipole and valley‐resolved band edges are intimately coupled, revealing sliding ferroelectricity as a powerful mechanism for electrical control of valley degrees of freedom in 2D materials.

Flexoelectricity in Photoconversion: Fundamentals, Materials, and Outlooks

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mechanical bending of a flexible cantilever induces a strain gradient in the photoactive material. The resulting flexoelectric field couples with photovoltaic and photoconductive effects, modulating charge generation, separation, and collection. A comparative analysis of oxide perovskites, halide perovskites, and two‐dimensional materials is presented,

Dielectric‐Confinement‐Induced in‐Plane Photoelectric Anisotropy in Isotropic Quasi‐1D γ‐GaS Nanoribbon

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We investigate the geometry‐governed optoelectronic anisotropy arising from dielectric confinement in quasi‐1D γ‐GaS nanoribbons with intrinsically isotropic atomic structures. Dielectric mismatch between the nanoribbon and its surroundings leads to a general polarization‐dependent photoresponse during near‐field scattering.

Asymmetrically Fluorinated Phenyl 4‐biphenylcarboxylate Motifs as a Design Principle for Enantiotropic Ferroelectric Liquid Crystals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The effect of the structural arrangement of DIO and its analogs on ferroelectric phases is explored. Consequently, it is found that an asymmetrically fluorinated phenyl 4‐biphenylcaroboxylate skeleton is one of the favorable structural motifs for the emergence of enantiotropic ferroelectric liquid crystal phases.

Giant Bulk Photovoltaic Effect in Two‐Dimensional Topological Ferroelectric Semimetal

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ferroelectric (FE) metals have attracted growing interest because they combine ferroelectricity with metallic behavior and enable polarization‐controlled band topology near the Fermi level. However, the number of known ferroelectric metals is still limited.

Large Temperature‐invariant Anomalous Nernst Effect in Non‐collinear Antiferromagnet Mn3Pt

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Based on the noncollinear antiferromagnetic Mn3Pt thin films, the composition‐tunable Mn‐3d orbital states directly govern the Berry curvature. As a result, a giant and temperature‐invariant anomalous Nernst coefficient of 0.71 µV/K is achieved under Mn‐rich conditions.

Atomic‐Level CuOx‐CoOx‐Pd Interfacial Engineering Enables Hierarchical Synergy for High‐Efficiency ORR Pathways and Boosted Power Output in Alkaline Fuel Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Atomically dispersed CuOx (CPCu‐1) forms isolated Cu–Ov sites that enable defect‐mediated O2 activation and fast electron/proton transfer via interfacial synergy. In contrast, thick CuOx clusters (CPCu‐10) promote a surface‐adsorption‐controlled pathway with intermediate accumulation, highlighting a mechanism switch from interfacial activation to ...

Multiferroic‐Centric Materials and Systems Engineering for Battery Applications: An Insight Into Mechanisms, Strategies, and Characterizations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiferroic order parameters – polarization, magnetization, and ferroelastic strain – are positioned as dynamic design variables for batteries. Their mechanistic roles, practical tuning through fabrication and external fields, and ferroic‐resolved characterization routes are unified into a closed‐loop framework, revealing how coupled ferroic responses
