Boundary stabilization of flows in networks of open channels modeled by Saint-Venant equations

This work investigates the boundary stabilization of flows in star-shaped and tree-shaped networks of open channels governed by the Saint-Venant equations with a friction term. Due to the existence of the friction term, the steady-states are non-uniform. We show that any such network can be stabilized with only controls at the terminal nodes of the network, even when there are no controls at the nodes inside the network. The number of control is optimal. The main tool we use is the Lyapunov approach, and the main challenge is that the state-of-the-art Lyapunov functions developed for Saint-Venant equations with source terms cannot be used. In this work, we manage to construct a new efficient and explicit Lyapunov function and, in turn, we give explicit ranges of the control tuning parameters that depend only on the values of the given non-uniform steady-states at the ends of the branches. Moreover, this Lyapunov function also improves the existing conditions found in the last decade for a single channel modelled by Saint-Venant equations.

Lattice-decoupled rotatable stripe-like charge order within the strange metal phase of 2M-WS2

In quantum materials, charge orders typically stabilize in specific crystallographic orientations, though their formation mechanisms may vary. Here, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we discover a lattice-decoupled rotatable stripe-like charge order coexisting with superconductivity in 2M-WS2. The charge order manifests five distinct orientations across different sample regions, yet maintains an identical wavelength. This directional decoupling from host lattice challenges existing paradigms. First-principles calculations of phonon spectra and nesting function fail to explain the ordering mechanism. Intriguingly, the transition temperature of the charge orders exhibits spatial variations (21-46 K), coinciding with the temperature range of the recently reported strange metal phase in this material. This correlation suggests that the interplay between strong electronic correlations and electron-phonon coupling must be critically evaluated to elucidate the emergence of this unconventional charge order.

Unique3D: High-Quality and Efficient 3D Mesh Generation from a Single Image

In this work, we introduce Unique3D, a novel image-to-3D framework for efficiently generating high-quality 3D meshes from single-view images, featuring state-of-the-art generation fidelity and strong generalizability. Previous methods based on Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) can produce diversified 3D results by distilling 3D knowledge from large 2D diffusion models, but they usually suffer from long per-case optimization time with inconsistent issues. Recent works address the problem and generate better 3D results either by finetuning a multi-view diffusion model or training a fast feed-forward model. However, they still lack intricate textures and complex geometries due to inconsistency and limited generated resolution. To simultaneously achieve high fidelity, consistency, and efficiency in single image-to-3D, we propose a novel framework Unique3D that includes a multi-view diffusion model with a corresponding normal diffusion model to generate multi-view images with their normal maps, a multi-level upscale process to progressively improve the resolution of generated orthographic multi-views, as well as an instant and consistent mesh reconstruction algorithm called ISOMER, which fully integrates the color and geometric priors into mesh results. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Unique3D significantly outperforms other image-to-3D baselines in terms of geometric and textural details.

Bounds on the Spreading Radius in Droplet Impact: The Inviscid Case

We consider the classical problem of droplet impact and droplet spread on a smooth surface in the case of an ideal inviscid fluid. We revisit the rim-lamella model of Roisman et al. [\textit{Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences}, 458(2022), pp.1411-1430.]. This model comprises a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs); we present a rigorous theoretical analysis of these ODEs, and derive upper and lower bounds for the maximum spreading radius. Both bounds possess a $\mathrm{We}^{1/2}$ scaling behaviour, and by a sandwich result, the spreading radius itself also possesses this scaling. We demonstrate rigorously that the rim-lamella model is self-consistent: once a rim forms, its height will invariably exceed that of the lamella. We introduce a rational procedure to obtain initial conditions for the rim-lamella model. Our approach to solving the rim-lamella model gives predictions for the maximum droplet spread that are in close agreement with existing experimental studies and direct numerical simulations.

Novel three-dimensional Fermi surface and electron-correlation-induced charge density wave in FeGe

As the first magnetic kagome material to exhibit the charge density wave (CDW) order, FeGe has attracted much attention in recent studies. Similar to AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ (A = K, Cs, Rb), FeGe exhibits the CDW pattern with an in-plane 2$\times $2 structure and the existence of van Hove singularities (vHSs) near the Fermi level. However, sharply different from AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$ which has phonon instability at $M$ point, all the theoretically calculated phonon frequencies in FeGe remain positive. Here, we perform a comprehensive study of the band structures, Fermi surfaces and nesting function of FeGe through first-principles calculations. Surprisingly, we find that the maximum of nesting function is at $K$ point instead of $M$ point. Two Fermi pockets with Fe-$d_{xz}$ and Fe-$d_{x^{2}-y^{2}}$/$d_{xy}$ orbital characters have large contribution to the Fermi nesting, which evolve significantly with $k_{z}$, indicating the highly three-dimensional (3D) feature of FeGe in contrast to AV$_{3}$Sb$_{5}$. Meanwhile, the vHSs are close to the Fermi surface only in a small $k_{z}$ range, and does not play a leading role in nesting function. Considering the effect of local Coulomb interaction, we reveal that the Fermi level eigenstates nested by vector $K$ are mainly distributed from unequal sublattice occupancy, thus the instability at $K$ point is significantly suppressed. Meanwhile, the wave functions nested by vector $M$ have many ingredients located at the same Fe site, thus the instability at $M$ point is enhanced. This indicates that the electron correlation, rather than electron-phonon interaction, plays a key role in the CDW transition at $M$ point.

Magnetic hourglass fermions: from exhaustive symmetry conditions to high-throughput materials predictions

Many topological band crossings (BCs) have been predicted efficiently utilizing the symmetry properties of wave-functions at high-symmetry points. Among various BCs, the so-called hourglass BCs (with the low-energy excitations dubbed as hourglass fermions) are fascinating since they can be guaranteed to exist under specific symmetry conditions even without realistic calculations. Such novel property renders the theoretical prediction on magnetic topological metals with hourglass BC (being Weyl point, Dirac point, lying in nodal loop, and so on) independent on the calculation methods and only determined by the symmetry of crystal and magnetic structure, namely, the magnetic space group (MSG). To date, there have no magnetic material verified with hourglass fermions. Here we first list all symmetry conditions that allow hourglass BCs in the 1651 MSGs and 528 magnetic layer groups (MLGs) with spin-orbital coupling (SOC): Only 331 MSGs and 53 MLGs can host hourglass BCs. Among these results, the essential hourglass BCs are highlighted, whose MSGs are then applied to predict hundreds of magnetic materials from the MAGNDATA magnetic materials database and first-principles calculations in the frame of LDA+SOC+U verify the hourglass BCs for different values of $U$. We take CsMn$_2$F$_6$, synthesized recently with a distorted pyrochlore structure to illustrate the hourglass band structure in detail which is very clear around the Fermi level and the topologically protected surface drumhead states of (100) surface are found to spread over more than one half surface Brillouin zone and only appear in a narrow energy window ($\sim 30$ meV), which could induce intriguing stability by prominent electronic correlation.

Utilization of Strong Charge Transfer Efficiency at 2H-1T Phase Boundary of MoS2 for Superb High-Performance Charge Storage

Transition metal dichalcogenides like MoS2 can exist many phases like the semiconducting 2H and the metallic 1T phases which have shown intriguing properties for energy and electrocatalytic applications. However, the 2H and 1T phases normally distribute coherently in a single-layered MoS2 sheet which is accompanied with ubiquitous hetero-phase boundaries. In this work, by using density functional theory and electrochemical measurement, we report strong charge transfer ability between 2H/1T phase boundary of MoS2 and graphene which accounts for a superb coexistence of gravimetric and volumetric capacitances of 272 F g-1 and 685 F cm-3. As a proof-of-concept application, a flexible solid-state asymmetric supercapacitor based on MoS2/graphene is fabricated, showing a remarkable energy and power densities (46.3 mWh cm-3 and 3.013 Wcm-3). Our work shows the promise of promoting the efficiency of charge flow and energy storage through engineering phase boundary and interface in phase-change materials.
