Acoustic blackbody through instability-induced softening
Instability-induced softening
To realize a cavity with zero static modulus, we introduce instability mechanisms that neutralize the system’s inherent elasticity. The following theoretical framework will characterize how unstable elements…

Ab initio simulation of spin-charge qubits based on bilayer graphene-WSe2 quantum dots
Ab initio band structure and SOC
All DFT simulations are carried out with the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package (VASP)37. We start with unit cell lattice constants \({a}_{0}^{{\rm{BLG}}}\) = 2.4689 Å for BLG and
