We propose a method to identify the order of a quantum phase transition by using area measures of the ground state in phase space. We illustrate our proposal by analyzing the well known example of the quantum cusp and four different paradigmatic boson models: Dicke, Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick, interacting boson model, and vibron model.

Recent studies have shown that ATP at high physiological concentrations (>5 mM) can inhibit liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven by interactions between intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). However, the mechanism underlying such inhibitory effect still remains elusive. Here, we used all-atom molecular dynamics simulation to study the interaction of ATP with two typical IDPs (i.

The bulk photovoltaic effect, arising from the separation of charge carriers driven by crystal symmetry, is an intriguing physical phenomenon that has been attracting broad interest in the field of photovoltaic applications due to its junction-free nature and potential to surpass the Shockley-Queisser limit. The photovoltaic applications of conventional ferroelectric materials with wide bandgaps (2.7-4 eV) are limited due to their low photocurrent densities and weak photovoltaic response in the visible light region.

A theoretical framework is presented to investigate the stability of novel two-dimensional quantum droplets within zeroth-order Bessel lattices. The evolution of quantum droplets is studied by the Gross-Pitaevskii equations with Lee-Huang-Yang corrections. The circular groove structure inherent in the zeroth-order Bessel lattice potential facilitates the formation of distinct configurations, including stable zero-vorticity annular quantum droplets and annular quantum droplets featuring embedded vorticity.

Harmonic generation, a notable non-linear phenomenon, has promising applications in information processing. For spin-waves in ferromagnetic materials, great progress has been made in the generation higher harmonics, however probing the coherence of these higher harmonics is challenging. Here, using in-situ diamond sensors, we study the coherent harmonic generation of spin waves in a soft ferromagnet.

Layered delafossite-type compounds and related transition metal dichalcogenides, characterized by their triangular net structures, serve as prototypical systems for exploring the intricate interplay between crystal structure and magnetic behavior. Herein, we report on the discovery of the compound KCrSe ( ≈ 0.13), an incommensurately modulated phase.
