Superconducting properties of transition metal dichalcogenides in proximity to a conventional superconductor

This study demonstrates that placing a transition metal dichalcogenide monolayer in proximity to a conventional superconductor, when modeled with realistic multiorbital and anisotropic couplings, induces complex hybridization gaps and significant mixed spin-triplet pair correlations driven by Ising spin-orbit coupling, which compete with equal spin-triplet pairs arising from Rashba coupling.

The kinetic theory of ultra-subsonic fermion systems and applications to flat band magic angle twisted bilayer graphene

This paper develops a kinetic theory for ultra-subsonic fermion systems, demonstrating that restricted phonon scattering leads to unique low-temperature transport behaviors—including linear-in-T resistivity and perfect conductivity—which offers a new explanation for the "strange metal" phenomena observed in flat band magic angle twisted bilayer graphene.

Numerical Analysis of Photon Absorption of Gate-defined Quantum Dots Embedded in Asymmetric Bull's-eye Optical Cavities

This paper numerically demonstrates that adjusting the substrate distance in asymmetric bull's-eye optical cavities enhances photon absorption efficiency in gate-defined quantum dots by 1.6 times through substrate-induced asymmetry, which enables upward-preferred coupling and narrow far-field emission patterns.

Phonon-limited resistivity of multilayer graphene systems

This paper theoretically investigates how the anisotropic band geometry of Bernal bilayer and rhombohedral trilayer graphene, including features like Van Hove singularities and Lifshitz transitions, significantly influences phonon-limited electrical resistivity by inducing nonlinear temperature dependencies and complicating standard transport crossovers.

Magnon Kerr Effect in a Magnetic Thin Film Strongly Coupled to a Microwave Resonator

This paper demonstrates that an iron garnet thin film strongly coupled to a microwave resonator exhibits a magnon Kerr effect enhanced by up to three orders of magnitude compared to a spherical sample, with its magnitude and sign continuously tunable via the static magnetization orientation.

Topological photonics in nanoscaled systems with far field radiation and polarization singularities

This perspective paper argues that standard topological band theory must be extended to incorporate nanophotonic intrinsic effects like nonlocality and far-field radiation, highlighting how polarization singularities in the far field are crucial for defining topological invariants and guiding the development of next-generation photonic devices.

Landau quantization of $C_3$ high-fold fermions in honeycomb lattices

This paper develops a theoretical framework for the Landau levels of $C_3$ high-fold fermions in honeycomb lattices by combining tight-binding and $k\cdot p$ methods to demonstrate that their quantization uniquely merges Dirac-type behavior from linear band crossings with anomalous quantization arising from the quantum geometry of singular flat bands.

Designing Hamiltonians with Exactly Flat Higher-Vortexable Bands

This paper investigates the conditions under which local Hamiltonians host exactly flat higher-vortexable bands, demonstrating that such bands arise in scalar and Dirac systems with field-proportional masses, specific interlayer hopping configurations in bilayer graphene, and multiorbital models that yield arbitrary-order vortexable chains while remaining first-order in momentum.
