This study demonstrates that hydrothermally grown chiral tellurium nanowires exhibit phase-coherent quasi-ballistic transport, gate-tunable quantum dot formation, and highly anisotropic g-factors, establishing them as a versatile platform for spin qubits and Majorana zero mode research.
This paper demonstrates that the transconductance of multilayer WSe field-effect transistors can serve as a direct electrical spectrometer for measuring intervalley relaxation times, offering three distinct signatures—Lorentzian frequency response, two-stage current transients, and sweep-rate-proportional hysteresis—that provide quantitative access to this parameter using standard instrumentation.
This paper reports the first observation of complete suppression of oscillator strength in fully polarized fractional quantum Hall states and identifies a depolarization law () as evidence for the existence of Minimal Fractionally Charged Skyrmions formed by bound spin-flip and quasiparticle excitations.
This study demonstrates that in phase-pure GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires, increasing the contact separation length suppresses -periodic Aharonov-Bohm oscillations while enhancing -periodic Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations and their higher harmonics, a phenomenon confirmed by tight-binding simulations to indicate quasi-ballistic transport with distinct phase rigidity characteristics.
This paper utilizes exact calculations within Carroll-Field-Jackiw electrodynamics to demonstrate that Cherenkov radiation in anisotropic chiral matter can occur without a velocity threshold for slowly moving charges within specific frequency ranges, while also characterizing the resulting multi-cone emission patterns and validating the reliability of previous approximate methods.
This paper proposes a method to discriminate between different topological classes of many-body quantum states by expressing strange correlators as Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities, thereby establishing a quantum topology witness achievable through interferometric protocols involving sudden quench transformations.
This study reveals that Janus transition metal dichalcogenide nanotubes achieve minimum energy and exhibit anomalous optical phonon frequency peaks when their extrinsic radius matches the monolayer's intrinsic bending radius, a phenomenon driven by soft phonon modes resulting from curvature deviation.
This study demonstrates that controlled interfacial disorder in MgO/KTaO3(111) heterostructures drives a percolative transition from localized Cooper pairs to stripe-ordered superconductivity, revealing a self-organized modulation governed by spin-orbit coupling and lattice symmetry breaking.
This paper presents a minimal model of a graphene–topological-insulator heterostructure demonstrating how a moiré superlattice modulates Rashba spin-orbit coupling to lift spin degeneracy, fragment helicity across minibands, and generate emergent relativistic quasiparticles, thereby offering a microscopic mechanism for amplifying proximity-induced spin-orbit effects through moiré engineering.
This paper presents a modular loop-gap resonator design that achieves strong magnon-photon coupling with thin epitaxial yttrium iron garnet films at room temperature, enabling field-differential spectroscopy and the study of both uniform and standing spin-wave modes to facilitate the use of magnetic insulator multilayers in cavity magnonics.
