Suspended-carbon nanotubes combine small motional mass, high mechanical frequency, strong electrostatic tunability, and appreciable mechanical nonlinearity. These properties make them attractive for quantum nanomechanics, but they also place unusuall...

The aim of this study was to develop a magnetron-sputtering technique for synthesizing hafnium carbonitride coatings and a method for determining the melting temperature of the coating material that would correlate with the melting temperatures of th...

X-ray detector development is often discussed in terms of individual performance metrics such as effective atomic number, carrier mobility–lifetime product, sensitivity, detection limit, light yield, or scintillation decay time. In practice, ho...

The theoretical description of phase transitions in condensed matter represents one of the most profound and enduring challenges in modern physics, spanning more than a century of intellectual development. From the phenomenological models of van der...

Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) detectors offer versatility, operational simplicity, and room-temperature X- and gamma-ray spectroscopy, making them attractive for collider applications, yet their use under high-flux conditions remains limited. Here, we...

There are two models that explain the incommensurate elastic neutron scattering from ${\mathrm{La}}_{2-x}{\mathrm{Ba}}_x{\mathrm{CuO}}_4$ ($x={\displaystyle \frac{1}{8}}$), (i) spin spiral and (ii) collinear spin stripe. I show that available $\mu$SR data taken with a polycrystalline sample is consistent with t...

Imaging with cosmic-ray muon-induced secondary radiation complements muon transmission radiography and muon scattering tomography by exploiting the electrons and bremsstrahlung photons created along the muon track inside the target. Because these sec...

We study the local electrostatic response of a charged superfluid in the presence of a cylindrically symmetric vortex, allowing both the particle density and the thermodynamic compressibility to vary with the radial coordinate. Starting from the elec...

A model for a one-dimensional chain of elongated nano-scale magnetic islands with dipole interactions is analyzed here for the properties of its static domain walls with site-by-site alternating order. The anisotropic magnetic islands on a nonmagneti...

Motivated by the altermagnet order reported for CrSb and evidence of electron correlations in this compound, we address the role of dynamical Coulomb interactions on its hexagonal Dirac fermion regime. We find that a Dirac-to-Fermi liquid crossover d...
