Hexagonal Stacking Maximizes Proton Configurational Entropy among Ice-I Polytypes
Zhengyue Chen, Sheng Ran
Ice I admits cubic, hexagonal, and mixed layer stackings, but rigorous entropy comparisons have focused on the two ideal endmembers. We represent every cyclic uniform-registry stac…
A d-Electron Heavy-Fermion-Like Superconductor with Frustration-Induced Flat Bands
Chaoguo Wang, Hyeonhu Bae, Jiaqi Tian +11
The paper reports that the noncentrosymmetric d‑electron compound Mo4PtGa17 exhibits heavy‑fermion‑like superconductivity driven by geometrical frustration, which creates nearly fl…
Field-rigid Ising antiferromagnetism with giant spin-flip fields in Van der Waals UOTe
Zackary Rehfuss, Shannon Gould, Joanna Blawat +9
Van der Waals antiferromagnets provide a route to thickness-controlled magnetic order, but few combine high-temperature Ising order with conducting, correlated, and topological ele…
Endogenous Regime Switching Driven by Scalar-Irreducible Learning Dynamics
Sheng Ran
Achieving endogenous regime switching is crucial for the emergence of autonomous intelligence, yet remains a central challenge for existing machine learning frameworks, where such…
Signature of Unconventional Superconductivity in the High Temperature Normal State Resistivity
Yuchen Wu, Yiwen Liu, Wanyue Lin +2
Unconventional superconductivity remains one of the central unsolved problems in quantum materials, and revealing its connection to the normal state is widely believed to be key to…
Scaling Breakdown as a Signature of Spinon-Gauge Interaction in the Quantum Spin Liquid YbZnGaO
Shannon Gould, John Singleton, Rabindranath Bag +2
Scaling behavior in magnetization has been reported in a wide range of quantum spin liquid (QSL) candidates and is often interpreted as evidence for scale-free spin liquid physics.…
