Numerical analysis of the thermal relaxation of the dense gas between two parallel plates: the free energy monotonicity for the Enskog equation

This paper numerically investigates the thermal relaxation of dense gas between parallel plates using two versions of the Enskog equation, revealing that the non-equilibrium free energy decreases monotonically over time only when employing a recently proposed modified Enskog factor, unlike the original formulation.

Fourth-order and six-order nonlinear spin current diode in hh-wave and jj-wave odd-parity magnets

This paper proposes a dimensional extension method to construct and predict three-dimensional hh-wave and jj-wave odd-parity magnets, demonstrating that their unique fourth- and sixth-order nonlinear spin currents, which exhibit unidirectional flow independent of the electric field, serve as definitive experimental signatures for identifying these magnetic phases.

Identifying the origin of out-of-plane spin polarization in the noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn3_3Ge

This study resolves the debate regarding the origin of out-of-plane spin polarization in noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn3_3Ge by demonstrating that it arises from the coexistence of bulk magnetic spin Hall effect and interfacial spin swapping, distinguished through angular-dependent spin-torque measurements in Mn3_3Ge/Py bilayers.

Stabilizing Magnetic Bubble Domains in Epitaxial 2D Magnet/Topological Insulator Heterostructures through Interfacial Interactions

By utilizing a dry-transfer technique to create epitaxial Fe3GeTe2/Bi2Te3 heterostructures, researchers demonstrated that interfacial coupling induces Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction and modifies magnetic anisotropy, thereby stabilizing robust bubble domains under zero-field-cooled conditions where single-crystal flakes typically exhibit stripe or no domains.

Dipole-exchange spin waves and mode hybridization in magnetic nanoparticles

This paper investigates spin-wave modes in spherical and cylindrical magnetic nanoparticles by demonstrating that angular momentum and mirror parity symmetries classify these modes, while developing a coupled-mode theory to explain how nonlocal dipolar interactions lift exchange degeneracy and induce mode hybridization across different interaction regimes.
