Asymptotic Stability of Multi-Solitons for Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations via the $\bar{\partial}$-Method

The Riemann-Hilbert problem for the focusing coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equation is formulated on the basis of the corresponding $3\times3$ matrix spectral problem. We remove the discrete spectrum of initial RHP with the aid of Darboux transformations. Based on the $\bar{\partial}$-steepest descent method, we establish the long-time asymptotic behavior of solutions to the CNLS equation for initial condition in the weighted Sobolev space. Compared to the improved nonlinear steepest descent method, we improve the error estimate up to order $\mathcal{O}\left(t^{-3/4}\right)$. Furthermore, we obtain the asymptotic stability of multi-soliton solutions for CNLS equation and analyze the law of multi-soliton collision in the view-point of Yang-Baxter map.

Long-time asymptotics of the coupled nonlinear Schödinger equation in a weighted Sobolev space

We study the Cauchy problem for the focusing coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equation with initial data $\mathbf{q}_0$ lying in the weighted Sobolev space and the scattering data having $n$ simple zeros. Based on the corresponding $3\times3$ matrix spectral problem, we deduce the Riemann-Hilbert problem (RHP) for CNLS equation through inverse scattering transform. We remove discrete spectrum of initial RHP using Darboux transformations. By applying the nonlinear steepest-descent method for RHP introduced by Deift and Zhou, we compute the long-time asymptotic expansion of the solution $\mathbf{q}(x,t)$ to an (optimal) residual error of order $\mathcal{O}\left(t^{-3 / 4+1/(2p)}\right)$ where $2\le p<\infty$. The leading order term in this expansion is a multi-soliton whose parameters are modulated by soliton-soliton and soliton-radiation interactions. Our work strengthens and extends the earlier work regarding long-time asymptotics for solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a delta potential and even initial data by Deift and Park.

Thermal transport mapping in twisted double bilayer graphene

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted significant interest due to their tunable physical properties when stacked into homo- and hetero-structures. Twisting adjacent layers introduces moiré patterns that strongly influence the material electronic and thermal behavior. In twisted graphene systems, the twist angle critically alters phonon transport, leading to reduced thermal conductivity compared to Bernal-stacked configurations. However, experimental investigations into thermal transport in twisted structures remain limited. Here, we study the local thermal properties of twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG) using Scanning Thermal Microscopy (SThM). We find an increase in thermal resistance of $0.3 \pm 0.1 \times 10^6 KW^{-1}$ compared to untwisted bilayers, attributed to changes in both intrinsic thermal conductivity and the tip-sample interface. These results, supported by analytical modeling, provide new insight into thermal transport mechanisms in twisted 2D systems and offer a pathway toward thermal engineering in twistronic devices.

Violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law and ultra-low thermal conductivity of Ti$_3$C$_2$T$_x$ MXene

The high electrical conductivity and good chemical stability of MXenes offer hopes for their use in many applications, such as wearable electronics, energy storage, or electromagnetic interference shielding. While their optical, electronic and electrochemical properties have been widely studied, the information on thermal properties of MXenes is scarce. In this study, we investigate the heat transport properties of Ti$_3$C$_2$T$_x$ MXene single flakes using scanning thermal microscopy and find exceptionally low anisotropic thermal conductivities within the Ti$_3$C$_2$T$_x$ flakes, leading to an effective thermal conductivity of 0.78$\pm$0.21 W m$^{-1}$ K$^{-1}$. This observation is in stark contrast to the predictions of the Wiedemann-Franz law, as the estimated Lorenz number is only 0.25 of the classical value. Due to the combination of low thermal conductivity and low emissivity of Ti$_3$C$_2$T$_x$, the heat loss from it is two orders of magnitude smaller than that from common metals. Our study explores the heat transport mechanisms of MXenes and highlights a promising approach for developing thermal insulation, two-dimensional thermoelectric, or infrared stealth materials.

Single-material MoS$_{2}$ thermoelectric junction enabled by substrate engineering

To realize a thermoelectric power generator, typically a junction between two materials with different Seebeck coefficient needs to be fabricated. Such difference in Seebeck coefficients can be induced by doping, which renders difficult when working with two-dimensional (2d) materials. Here, we employ substrate effects to form a thermoelectric junction in ultra-thin few-layer MoS2 films. We investigated the junctions with a combination of scanning photocurrent microscopy and scanning thermal microscopy. This allows us to reveal that thermoelectric junctions form across the substrate-engineered parts. We attribute this to a gating effect induced by interfacial charges in combination with alterations in the electron-phonon scattering mechanisms. This work demonstrates that substrate engineering is a promising strategy to develop future compact thin-film thermoelectric power generators.

A physical perspective to understand myelin. I. Peters quadrant mystery

In the development of oligodendrocytes in the central nervous systems, the inner and outer tongue of the myelin sheath tend to be located within the same quadrant, which was named as Peters quadrant mystery. In this study, we conduct in silico investigations to explore the possible mechanisms underlying the Peters quadrant mystery. A biophysically detailed model of oligodendrocytes was used to simulate the effect of the actional potential-induced electric field across the myelin sheath. Our simulation suggests that the paranodal channel connecting the inner and outer tongue forms a low impedance route, inducing two high-current zones at the area around the inner and outer tongue. When the inner tongue and outer tongue are located within the same quadrant, the interaction of these two high-current-zones will induce a maximum amplitude and a polarity reverse of the voltage upon the inner tongue, resulting in the same quadrant phenomenon. This model indicates that the growth of myelin follows a simple principle: an external negative or positive E-field can promote or inhibit the growth of the inner tongue, respectively.

A physical perspective to understand myelin. II. The physical origin of myelin development

The physical principle of myelin development is obtained from our previous study by explaining Peter's quadrant mystery: an external applied negative and positive E-field can promote and inhibit the growth of the inner tongue of the myelin sheath, respectively. In this study, this principle is considered as a fundamental hypothesis, named Hypothesis-E, to explain more phenomena about myelin development systematically. Specifically, the g-ratio and the fate of the Schwann cell's differentiation are explained in terms of E-field. Moreover, an experiment is proposed to validate this theory.
