While most prior works focused on modulating the interlayer interaction and layer-dependent properties, here we investigate layer-dependent disorder (either Anderson type or magnetic exchange field) effects, which could naturally occur in realistic 2D layered materials. We show that disorder could effectively toggle the spatial symmetry statistically. While the spatially homogeneous disorder tends to enhance the spatial symmetry, layer-dependent disorder is spatially inhomogeneous and could reduce such symmetry in a statistical manner, especially breaking the intact centrosymmetry 𝒫. We further characterize such a 𝒫 breaking by the emergence of shift current, an intrinsic bulk photovoltaic effect arising from the position mismatch between the valence and conduction band centers under linearly polarized light irradiation. This is rooted from momentum space shift and is illustrated by tight-binding model simulations and first-principles calculations on the 𝒫-symmetric bilayer transition metal dichalcogenide (for on-site energy disorder) and trilayer antiferromagnetic (for magnetic exchange disorder) as exemplary platforms. The layer-dependent disorder is permissible experimentally, especially under the substrate effect. This work expands the scope of layertronics and clarifies the symmetry control of layer-disorder effect.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"33 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144987407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, we apply the maximum entropy method (MEM), as implemented by Thomas Chuna et al., J. Phys. A Math. Theor. 58, 335203 (2025), to ab initio path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) results for the imaginary-time correlation function 𝐹(𝑞,𝜏) to estimate the dynamic structure factor 𝑆(𝑞,𝜔) over an unprecedented range of densities at the electronic Fermi temperature. To conduct the MEM, we propose to construct the Bayesian prior 𝜇 from the PIMC data. Constructing the static approximation leads to a drastic improvement in 𝑆(𝑞,𝜔) estimate over using the simpler random phase approximation (RPA) as the Bayesian prior. We present results for the strongly coupled electron liquid regime with 𝑟𝑠=50,⋯,200, which reveal a pronounced roton-type feature and an incipient double peak structure in 𝑆(𝑞,𝜔) for intermediate wave numbers at 𝑟𝑠=200. We also find that our dynamic structure factors satisfy known sum rules, even though these sum rules are not enforced explicitly. To verify our results, we show that our MEM estimates converge to the RPA limit at higher densities and weaker coupling and 5. Further, we compare with two different existing results at intermediate density and coupling strength and 20, and we find good agreement with more conservative estimates. Combining all of our results for , we present estimates of a dispersion relation that show a continuous deepening of its minimum value at higher coupling. An advantage of our setup is that it is not specific to the UEG, thereby opening up new avenues to study the dynamics of real warm dense matter systems based on cutting-edge PIMC simulations in future works.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144987477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transient anisotropy indicates that the direction of macroscopic polarization can be controlled three dimensionally on subpicosecond timescales, offering additional degrees of freedom in controlling polarization.

We argue that a particular choice of algebraic 1-forms of the second kind that avoids derivatives is crucial. We observe that the corresponding Feynman integrals satisfy a special form of differential equations that has not been previously reported, and that their solutions order by order in 𝜀 yield pure functions.

Here, we present ab initio calculations of electron mobility in CaSnO3 across a range of temperatures and doping levels, using state-of-the-art methods that explicitly account for free-carrier screening in electron-phonon interactions. We identify the dominant limiting mechanism to be the long-range longitudinal optical phonon scattering, which is significantly suppressed at high doping due to free-carrier screening, leading to enhanced phonon-limited mobility. While ionized impurity scattering emerges as a competing mechanism at carrier concentrations up to ∼ 1020 cm−3, the phonon scattering reduction dominates, yielding a net mobility increase with predicted room-temperature values reaching about twice the highest experimental report. Our work highlights the substantial untapped conductivity in CaSnO3, establishing it as a compelling ultrawide bandgap semiconductor for transparent and high-power electronic applications.","PeriodicalId":8094,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics Letters","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144995503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We reveal a coherence time of approximately 24 ps and a homogeneous linewidth of 0.017 nm (55 μeV) at 4.7 K under non-resonant two-photon excitation. We also analyze the impact of relaxation, scattering, and the experimental setup on the decrease in coherence time.
