However, two practical constraints persist. First, highly confined dislocation states based on conventional S… arXiv — physics.app-ph (Applied Physics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Dirac-vortex modes beyond the continuum limit arXiv:2607.20000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dirac-vortex modes (DVMs) in Kekule-modulated lattices provide a topological route to wave confinement and are commonly described by the continuum Jackiw-Rossi model, in which the initial phase acts as a redundant gauge degree of freedom and does not affect observables of the mode. Here we show that this picture breaks down in discrete lattices … arXiv — physics.app-ph (Applied Physics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Exploring Multifunctionality in MgO-Based Magnetic Tunnel Junctions with Coexisting Magnetoresistance and Memristive Properties arXiv:2607.20040v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) and memristors are two key emerging nanotechnologies that attracted significant interest for potential applications at the forefront of the digital revolution, including sensing, data storage, and non-conventional computation.
