Our results show that velocity decrease of subhalos is significantly greater in FDM model than in CDM, particularly at lower initial velocities, attributed to gravitational cooling—a unique mechanism of stabilizing in FDM with dissipating kinetic energy. This stark contrast in energy dissipation between two DM models suggests that FDM may offer valuable insights into understanding the dynamic behaviors of DM during galaxy cluster collisions, such as those observed in the Bullet cluster and Abell 520. These findings strongly suggest that FDM is not only capable of explaining these complex astrophysical phenomena but also serves as a compelling alternative to the traditional CDM model, offering resolutions to longstanding discrepancies in DM behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"87 4","pages":"430 - 440"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144843204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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 develop a comprehensive thermomechanical model to investigate how localized continuous-wave (CW) laser heating can be used to manipulate such bubbles in hBN/graphene/hBN stacks. By integrating finite-difference heat conduction simulations with analytical models of bubble energetics, we quantify laser-induced temperature distributions and the conditions required for bubble migration. Our model incorporates optical absorption in both the encapsulated 2D layers and silicon substrate, vertical and lateral heat spreading, and interfacial thermal resistance. A temperature-based criterion for bubble migration is derived from the energy balance between internal pressure buildup and adhesion-limited motion. We show that focused laser power (40 mW) can raise local temperatures to 800 K, sufficient to overcome adhesion barriers for bubbles above a critical size. Notably, our analysis reveals that while the migration direction depends on a competition between internal pressure and adhesion energy gradients, the temperature dependence of adhesion typically dominates, driving bubbles toward colder regions under realistic conditions. These results offer a predictive framework for optothermal interface engineering, enabling spatially controlled bubble removal, cleanliness enhancement, and programmable strain in 2D material devices.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":677,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Korean Physical Society","volume":"87 4","pages":"378 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144843220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Bias-dependent STM imaging and scanning tunneling spectroscopy reveal no measurable change in the surface electronic structure, indicating that the observed height variations originate from structural, rather than electronic, effects. We propose that the electric field drives anisotropic atomic migration within the van der Waals gap, resulting in reversible and directional reconfiguration of subsurface layers. Sequential pulsing further confirms the dynamic nature of this process, allowing local depressions and protrusions to be erased or repositioned.
