This paper analytically demonstrates that alternating-twist multilayer graphene systems exhibit a unique hierarchy of magic angles and distinct in-plane orbital magnetic responses—negligible for odd-layer systems but highly angle-dependent and significantly enhanced for even-layer systems—leading to large in-plane Maki parameters that suggest the potential for diverse superconducting phases.
This study utilizes ultrafast optical spectroscopy to directly observe and characterize the sub-picosecond formation, trapping, and coherent interconversion dynamics between free and defect-bound excitons in alkali metal halide-assisted CVD-grown monolayer WS with high defect densities.
This paper establishes a universal criterion for the transition between the non-Hermitian skin effect and Anderson localization in disordered Hatano-Nelson systems by proving that the change in topological invariants coincides with the crossover in eigenvector behavior, as demonstrated through Lyapunov exponent analysis.
This paper investigates topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes in the LaAlO/SrTiO interface using a realistic multiband model, revealing that while a finite out-of-plane magnetic field is required for the topological transition in 2D systems, lateral confinement relaxes this constraint but introduces challenges for observing Majorana states in nanowires due to the exceptionally long localization lengths of orbital-dominated subbands.
This paper demonstrates that anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in oxidized FeGeTe stabilizes long-lived antiskyrmions by creating spatially extended saddle points that suppress entropic contributions to decay, thereby rendering soliton lifetimes effectively temperature-independent and enhancing stability by over five orders of magnitude at room temperature.
This paper proposes and theoretically demonstrates electrically controllable spin valves and spin transistors based on unconventional -wave magnets, which achieve spintronic functionalities through anisotropic spin splitting without requiring net magnetization or relativistic spin-orbit coupling.
This paper demonstrates that in ferrimagnets near the angular momentum compensation point, domain walls can exhibit reversible steady motion under a direct current solely controlled by current strength, a phenomenon driven by the inertial dynamics of an internal collective coordinate that breaks the conventional paradigm of current-direction-dependent motion.
The authors report the observation of a bias-dependent "geometric" current blockade in a quantum dot coupled to 2D and 3D electron gases, where asymmetric tunneling induces a population inversion into a metastable dark triplet state that suppresses current transport due to the geometric shape of the electronic eigenstates.
Using extended Hückel theory, this study investigates how local Ge concentration fluctuations, composition, and layer thickness affect the electronic properties of Si/SiGe/Si nanostructures, demonstrating that a finite quantum well model can effectively capture the essential physics as a faster computational alternative.
This paper demonstrates that longitudinal nonreciprocal charge transport can occur in nonmagnetic, time-reversal-symmetric conductors through disorder-induced asymmetric scattering, a mechanism theoretically validated for 42 point groups and experimentally realized in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene.
