Interface-Engineered Giant Multistate Resistance Switching in Altermagnetic CrSb Multiferroic Tunnel Junctions

Altermagnets enable spin-split transport without stray magnetic fields, yet converting their momentum-dependent spin splitting into a strong tunnel-junction response requires interface-selected tunneling channels. Here, using density functional theory combined with nonequilibrium Green's function calculations, we demonstrate giant multistate resistance switching in CrSb/$α$-In$_2$Se$_3$ altermagnetic multiferroic tunnel junctions. The response is governed not by the bulk spin splitting of CrSb alone, but by a symmetry-selected interfacial mechanism in which Cr/Sb terminations and \textit{h}-BN or graphene insertion layers determine spin-channel matching, while ferroelectric polarization reshapes the electrostatic barrier. Symmetric and asymmetric terminations reverse the correspondence between parallel/antiparallel Néel-vector configurations and high-/low-resistance states, showing that the actual alignment of interfacial Cr moments selects the dominant tunneling channels. Monolayer-In$_2$Se$_3$ junctions exhibit four nonvolatile resistance states, with tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) and tunneling electroresistance (TER) reaching 1626\% and 2206\%, respectively, and increasing to 9576\% and 4144\% upon Fermi-level shifting. Finite-bias calculations further reveal robust spin filtering and tunable spin-polarized currents. Extending the barrier to bilayer In$_2$Se$_3$ introduces interlayer polarization coupling, enabling eight resistance states with maximum TMR and TER values of $3.77\times10^{4}\%$ and $4.18\times10^{5}\%$, respectively. These results establish interface symmetry, spin-channel matching, and ferroelectric barrier reconstruction as design principles for stray-field-free multistate spintronic tunnel devices.

Giant Nonvolatile Multistate Resistance with Fully Magnetically Controlled van der Waals Multiferroic Tunnel Junctions

Ferroelectric polarization switching in electrically controlled van der Waals multiferroic tunnel junctions (vdW-MFTJs) causes atomic migration, compromising device stability and fatigue resistance. Here we propose a fully magnetically controlled vdW-MFTJ based on a $\mathrm{CrBr_3/MnPSe_3/CrBr_3}$ vertical heterostructure, which achieves ferroelectric polarization reversal without relying on atomic migration driven by inversion symmetry breaking. Using first-principles calculations, we investigate the spin-polarized quantum transport properties of the proposed structure. By integrating asymmetric PtTe$_2$/alkali-metal (Li/Na/K)-doped/intercalated CrBr$_3$ electrodes, the device demonstrates exceptional performance, with a maximum tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) exceeding $8.1\times10^5$\% and tunneling electroresistance (TER) reaching 2499\%, while the spin-filtering channels can be flexibly controlled by the magnetization direction of the magnetic free layer, achieving perfect spin-filtering over a broad bias voltage range. Applying an external bias voltage further enhances these metrics, increasing TMR to $3.6\times 10^7$\% and TER to 9990\%. Notably, a pronounced negative differential resistance (NDR) effect is observed, yielding an unprecedented peak-to-valley ratio (PVR) of $9.55\times10^9$\%, representing the highest value reported for vertical tunnel junctions. These extraordinary characteristics highlight the potential of vdW-MFTJs for ultra-efficient electronic switching, a key feature for next-generation spintronic devices. Our findings provide a solid theoretical foundation for designing and developing high-performance magnetic storage and logic technologies.

Giant Tunneling Magnetoresistance in Graphene/$h$-BN Based van der Waals Magnetic Tunnel Junctions via 3$d$ Transition Metal Intercalation

Atomic intercalation offers a powerful route for engineering two-dimensional (2D) materials by precisely tuning interlayer electronic coupling and spin configurations. Here, we propose a generic strategy for the construction of fully 2D magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) based on transition metal-intercalated graphene electrodes with $h$-BN barrier layer. First-principles calculations reveal that intercalation not only stabilizes uniform atomic dispersion via steric hindrance but also induces robust ferromagnetism in graphene. Manganese- and vanadium-intercalated systems (Mn-Gr and V-Gr) exhibit exceptional spintronic performance, with tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) showing a pronounced odd-even oscillation as a function of barrier thickness. A giant TMR of $4.35 \times 10^8\,\%$ is achieved in the Mn-Gr system with a monolayer barrier $h$ -BN ($n=1$), while V-Gr reaches a maximum TMR of $1.86 \times 10^5\,\%$ for a trilayer barrier ($n=3$). Moreover, biaxial strain further enhances the TMR to $10^9\,\%$ and $10^7\,\%$ in Mn-Gr and V-Gr systems, respectively. The devices also exhibit perfect spin filtering and pronounced negative differential resistance, offering new opportunities for high-performance spintronic and memory applications based on 2D van der Waals heterostructures.

Geometrical Field Representation of Solid, Fluid, and Gas as Continuum in Rational Mechanics

Based on the points-set transformation concept about the motion transformation in continuum, the macro classical strain is expressed by the additive addition of the intrinsic stretching of material element and its intrinsic local rotation. For zero classical strain (no macro deformation observed on its configuration surface, suitable container is required for liquid and gas to make up macro invariant configuration), the results show that: (1) For solid, the local rotation angular is zero. The material element has no intrinsic stretching. (2) For liquid, the local rotation will not change the basic gauge tensor. The material element has intrinsic plane stretching on the rotation plane. (3) For gas state, the intrinsic local rotation will amplify the basic gauge tensor. The material element has intrinsic stretching along the rotation direction. Hence, under the condition of no macro classical strain be observed, the material element has three different physical states: solid (no intrinsic stretching), fluid (plane intrinsic stretching), and gas (directional intrinsic stretching). Furthermore, for the three states, the free conditions are defined by zero intrinsic stretching. Referring to this free condition, the constitutive equations for the materials at multiple states are established.

On the rational relationship between Heisenberg principle and general relativity

The research shows that the Heisenberg principle is the logic results of general relativity principle. If inertia coordinator system is used, the general relativity will logically be derived from the Heisenberg principle. The intrinsic relation between the quantum mechanics and general relativity is broken by introducing pure-imaginary time to explain the Lorentz transformation. Therefore, this research shows a way to establish an unified field theory of physics

Rational Mechanics Theory of Turbulence

The instant Lagranian coordinator system is used to describe the fluid material motion. By this way, the instant deformation gradient (expressed by spatial velocity gradient) concept is established. Based on this geometrical understanding, the strain rate and stress is expressed by local rotation tensor which is simply based on the fluid material kinetic energy concept (ruling out the concept of fluid-stretching). For fluid filling-in experiments, the characteristic of turbulence is analyzed geometrically and, then, the Navier-Stokes equation is used to get the analytical solution in first-order approximation. For convenient the comprising with experiments, the related typical values are given. As this solution is very basic, it can be expected be valuable for industrial application.

Intrinsic Geometric Structure of Turbulent Flow for Newton Fluid

Many researches show that the complicated motion of fluid, such as turbulence, cannot be well solved by the Navier-Stokes equation. Chen Zida has founded that the definition of vortex, based on the Stokes decomposition, cannot well describe the local rotation when the velocity gradient is highly asymmetric. Chen reformulates the Stokes S+R decomposition into a general S+R decomposition. By further extending Chen results, this research studies the motion equation of fluid for the case where highly asymmetric velocity gradient is exhibited. The result shows that the classical NS equation does not meet the requirement of angular momentum conservation, which is apparently ignored for infinitesimal velocity gradient of fluid. This paper reformulates the intrinsic geometric description of fluid motion and two additional equations are introduced. Combining with the classical NS equation, the reformulated motion equations are in closed-form. The research shows that the NS equation is good approximation for average flow, so it can not solve the turbulent problem in essential sense. However, this conclusion does not deny that with suitable additional condition for special engineering problem it is still a would-be acceptable approximation.

Quantum Field and Cosmic Field-Finite Geometrical Field Theory of Matter Motion Part Three

This research establishes an operational measurement way to express the quantum field theory in a geometrical form. In four-dimensional spacetime continuum, the orthogonal rotation is defined. It forms two sets of equations: one set is geometrical equations, another set is the motion equations. The Lorentz transformation can be directly derived from the geometrical equations, and the proper time of general relativity is well expressed by time displacement field. By the motion equations, the typical time displacement field of matter motion is discussed. The research shows that the quantum field theory can be established based on the concept of orthogonal rotation. On this sense, the quantum matter motion in physics is viewed as the orthogonal rotation of spacetime continuum. In this paper, it shows that there are three typical quantum solutions. One is particle-like solution, one is generation-type solution, and one is pure wave type solution. For each typical solution, the force fields are different. Many features of quantum field can be well explained by this theoretic form. Finally, the general matter motion is discussed, the main conclusions are: (1). Geometrically, cosmic vacuum field can be described by the curvature spacetime; (2). The spatial deformation of planet is related with a planet electromagnetic field; (3). For electric charge less matter, the volume of matter will be expanding infinitely; (4).For strong electric charge matter, it shows that the volume of matter will be contracting infinitely.

Evolution of Continuum from Elastic Deformation to Flow

Traditionally, the deformation of continuum is divided into elastic, plastic, and flow. For a large deformation with cracking, they are combined together. So, for complicated deformation, a formulation to express the evolution of deformation from elastic to flow will help to understand the intrinsic relation among the related parameters which relate the deformation with a stress field. To this purpose, Eringen polar decomposition and Trusedell polar decomposition are formulated by explicit formulation of displacement field, based on Chen additive decomposition of deformation gradient. Then the strain introduced by the multiplicative decomposition and the strain introduced by the additive decomposition are formulated explicitly with displacement gradient. This formulation clears the intrinsic contents of strains defined by taking the Eringen polar decomposition and Trusedell polar decomposition. After that, it shows that the plastic deformation can be expressed as the irreversible local average rotation. For initial isotropic simple elastic material, the path-dependent feature of classical plasticity theory is naturally expressed in Chen strain definition. It is founded that for initially isotropic material the motion equations require a non-symmetric stress for dynamic deformation and a symmetric stress for static deformation. This controversy between dynamic deformation and static deformation can be used to explain the cracking or buckling of solid continuum. Finally, the research shows that the flow motion of continuum can be expressed by the same formulation system. So, it forms an evolution theory from elastic deformation to flow of continuum.

Formulating Initial and Boundary Effects for Maxwell Equations

In classical treatment of Maxwell equations, the initial and boundary conditions are introduced by mathematical consideration rather than strictly using the Maxwell equations. As a result, the initial and boundary conditions are not logic consistent with the Maxwell equations. In fact, the boundary problem of classical Maxwell equations is not solvable for general cases, if the whole boundary fields are given. This problem is caused by implying the divergence and the curl of a vector have no relations during introducing the boundary condition. This research introduces new ideas and formulations to solve this problem. The research shows that based on Chen S-R decomposition of a rank-two tensor, this logical un-consistency can be discarded and, as a consequence, the classical Maxwell equations are reformulated. According to the reformulated Maxwell equations, the initial condition and boundary condition have global effects. As an example, the London equations for superconductors are deduced.
