Cold source field-effect transistor with type-III band-aligned HfS2_2/WTe2_2 heterostructure

This paper proposes a novel cold source field-effect transistor (CSFET) utilizing a type-III aligned 2D WTe2_2/HfS2_2 heterostructure to eliminate Schottky barriers, achieving a high on/off ratio of \sim1010^{10} and a sub-thermal subthreshold swing of 41.3 mV/dec through first-principles quantum transport modeling.

Guidelines for interpreting microfocused Brillouin light scattering spectra

This paper establishes guidelines for interpreting microfocused Brillouin light scattering spectra by analyzing how spin wave dispersion relations and mode profiles shape spectral features in three distinct magnetic materials, demonstrating that accurate interpretation requires exact dispersion and profile data, especially when mode hybridization occurs.

Phase stiffness in flat-band superconductors with nodal pairing

This paper investigates a two-band system with momentum-dependent hybridization between a dispersive and a flat band, demonstrating that the interplay of interband mixing and intraband pairing can create parabolic nodes in the quasiparticle spectrum, leading to a quadratic temperature dependence of superconducting phase stiffness and revealing the system's sensitivity to nonmagnetic disorder through Machida-Shibata resonances.

Ferromagnetic resonance modes in trilayer artificial spin ices subject to interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction

This study numerically demonstrates that interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction induces non-reciprocity in strongly coupled trilayer square artificial spin ices, leading to frequency-split edge modes whose interference patterns are governed by the interplay between DMI magnitude, external magnetic fields, and stray fields.

Quantum interference in a twisted high-Tc SQUID senses emergent interfacial order

By fabricating SQUIDs from twisted Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ\mathrm{Bi_2Sr_2CaCu_2O_{8+\delta}} interfaces, researchers detected a π\pi phase shift and time-reversal symmetry breaking indicative of chiral superconducting order, while also demonstrating high-temperature flux sensing capabilities that open new avenues for studying unconventional superconductivity.

Persistent altermagnetism

This paper introduces and theoretically validates "persistent altermagnetic spin polarization" (PASP), a robust, mirror-symmetry-protected collinear spin texture in altermagnetic materials that persists despite spin-orbit coupling and enables switchable, high-efficiency spin-filtering for next-generation all-altermagnetic memory and transistor devices.

Hidden polar phase in the quantum paraelectric SrTiO3

By combining mechanical strain with ultrafast laser pulses and x-ray scattering, researchers discovered a hidden polar phase in quantum paraelectric SrTiO3 characterized by nanoscale polarization modulations rather than conventional homogeneous ferroelectricity, offering a new explanation for its unique behavior.

Quantum Inductance as a Phase-Sensitive Probe of Fermion Parity Switching in Majorana Nanowires

This paper proposes that measuring quantum inductance in Majorana nanowires provides a critical, phase-sensitive probe to distinguish genuine topological fermion-parity switches from disorder-induced mimics, thereby offering a robust method to confirm the existence of Majorana zero modes when combined with quantum capacitance measurements.

Double-dome Unconventional Superconductivity in Twisted Trilayer Graphene

This paper reports the first direct observation of double-dome superconductivity in magic-angle twisted trilayer graphene, where the suppression of superconductivity near a specific filling factor reveals a distinct phase transition and supports the existence of an unconventional superconducting order parameter linked to an incommensurate Kekulé spiral state.

Broken intrinsic symmetry induced magnon-magnon coupling in synthetic ferrimagnets

This paper demonstrates that broken intrinsic symmetry in a synthetic ferrimagnet induces a strong coupling between acoustic and optical magnon modes, resulting in a large avoided level-crossing gap of 3.9 GHz that is tunable via interlayer exchange interaction and exceeds typical coupling strengths in other magnonic hybrid systems.
