Discovery of a disorder-driven electronic smectic phase in weakly correlated Dirac nodal line semimetal GdSbTe

2025-06-09

Electrons in solids can organize into unusual patterns, similar to liquid crystals, by breaking the crystalline symmetry of the host material. These so-called electronic liquid crystal phases usually appear in strongly correlated electron systems, such as high Tc cuprat......

Controlled nanoconfinement in a microfluidic modular bead array device via elastomeric diaphragm collapse for enhancing biomolecular binding kinetics

2025-05-23

Nanoconfinement is used to reduce diffusion limitations during biomolecular binding reactions in micro/nanofluidic environments. Under nanoconfined conditions, biomolecules experience an increased collision frequency, thereby enhancing binding efficiency. In this study,......

Anisotropic screening of excitons in van der Waals materials

2025-05-14

Dr. Kung-Hsuan Lin and colleagues at our institute, in collaboration with theoretical groups at the University of Southern California and Tamkang University, have reported that exciton screening in van der Waals materials is anisotropic. As the photocarrier density incr......

In Situ Identification of Spin Magnetic Effect on Oxygen EvolutionReaction Unveiled by X‑ray Emission Spectroscopy

2025-05-06

Dr. Raman Sankar and his group, in collaboration with Prof. Chun-Wei Chen (Department of Materials Science and Engineering, National Taiwan University) and Prof. Way-Faung Pong (Department of Physics, Tamkang University), have explored how spin ordering influences the c......

Spin dynamics and 1/3 magnetization plateau in the coupled distorted diamond chain compound K2Cu3(MoO4)4

2025-04-29

Dr. Raman Sankar and his group investigate magnetic properties of the s = 1/2 compound K2Cu3(MoO4)4 by combining magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, specific heat, and electron spin resonance (ESR) with density functional calculations. Its monoclinic structure featu......
