Tuning Thermal Conductivity and Electron-Phonon Interactions in Carbon and Boron Nitride Moiré Diamanes via Twist Angle Manipulation

This study demonstrates that increasing the interlayer twist angle in carbon and boron nitride Moiré diamanes significantly reduces in-plane lattice thermal conductivity and enhances band gap renormalization due to structural disorder and quantum nuclear effects, thereby offering a viable strategy for tuning their thermal and electronic properties for advanced applications.

Non-Hermitian skin effect and electronic nonlocal transport

This paper demonstrates that the non-Hermitian skin effect in a Rashba nanowire coupled to a ferromagnetic lead can be detected through nonreciprocal nonlocal conductance, offering a new transport spectroscopy method to probe non-Hermitian phenomena and explaining the parameter-space shifts of exceptional points under open boundary conditions.

One-dimensional topology and topolectrics of nonsymmorphic Kramers degenerate systems

This paper establishes a theoretical framework for one-dimensional nonsymmorphic Kramers degenerate systems with Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 and Z4\mathbb{Z}_4 topological classifications, extends winding-number invariants to these four-band models, and validates their topological phases and robust zero-energy modes through proposed topolectric circuit realizations and disorder analysis.

Ultrastrong magnon-photon coupling in superconductor/antiferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures at terahertz frequencies

This paper predicts that superconductor/antiferromagnet/superconductor heterostructures enable ultrastrong magnon-photon coupling at terahertz frequencies, where magnetic fields tune the interaction between one or both magnon modes and photons to create highly tunable magnon-polaritons with group velocities reaching several tenths of the speed of light.

Growth driven phase transitions in Zinc Oxide nanoparticles through machine-learning assisted simulations

This study reveals that while the body-centered tetragonal phase is thermodynamically stable for small zinc oxide nanoparticles, the atom-by-atom deposition process drives a phase transition to the more stable wurtzite structure through a specific ion redistribution that compensates for emerging polar facets.

Supercurrent from the imaginary part of the Andreev levels in non-Hermitian Josephson junctions

This paper investigates a non-Hermitian Josephson junction to identify and propose an experimental protocol for detecting a novel supercurrent contribution arising from the phase derivative of Andreev level broadening, demonstrating that this fingerprint of non-Hermiticity can be observed even in the absence of exceptional points.

Analytical formulas for far-field radiated energy and angular momentum of metallic thin films

This paper employs the non-equilibrium Green's function framework to derive analytical formulas for the far-field radiated energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum from metallic thin films, demonstrating how an external magnetic field induces gyrotropy to enable torque radiation and establishing a unified connection between these radiative quantities and generalized Fresnel coefficients.

Intrinsic Step Jamming in Nanometer-Scale KPZ-like Rough Surfaces under Interface-Limited Crystal Growth and Retreat

This study uses Monte Carlo simulations to demonstrate that intrinsic step jamming in nanometer-scale KPZ-like crystal surfaces arises from asymmetric atomic attachment and detachment fluctuations under interface-limited growth, a phenomenon distinct from symmetric thermal effects and analogous to jamming in asymmetric exclusion processes.

Dual Quantum Geometric Tensors and Local Topological Invariant

This paper establishes a unified framework connecting non-Hermitian Zeeman quantum geometry, local Dirac-node topology, and measurable transport signatures by demonstrating that the Zeeman quantum geometric tensor decomposes into normal and anomalous sectors, where the latter reveals a novel curvature-flux representation of local topology and distinct linear response scalings.

Ferromagnetic interlayer exchange coupling in a few layers of CrSBr on a gold thin film

This study demonstrates that depositing few-layer CrSBr on a gold thin film induces a ferromagnetic ground state through electron transfer and substrate engineering, as confirmed by spin-polarized low energy electron microscopy and supported by density functional theory calculations.

Anyon molecules in fractional quantum Hall states

Using segment DMRG on infinite cylinders, this study demonstrates that gate-induced screening in fractional quantum Hall states can bind like-charged anyons into stable molecules across various filling factors and fusion channels by suppressing long-range repulsion and revealing intermediate-range attraction, with significant implications for addition spectra, interferometry, and anyon superconductivity.

Self-doped Crystal from Preempted Band-inversion Transitions

This paper provides non-perturbative arguments and self-consistent Hartree-Fock calculations demonstrating that "self-doped" Wigner crystals, recently observed in rhombohedral graphene, generically emerge from preempted band-inversion transitions between commensurate crystals, a mechanism driven by quantum geometry that establishes their existence in both the λ\lambda-jellium model and rhombohedral pentalayer graphene.
