Emergent Trion Resonance Driven by Lattice Reconstruction in a Moiré Superlattice

This study reveals that lattice reconstruction in twisted MoSe₂ homobilayers induces a novel "charge-transfer" trion resonance, where spatially separated electron-hole pairs and doped holes emerge due to distinct moiré potentials acting on different valleys and sites within the superlattice.

Spin polarization of Quantum Hall states for filling factors 1 < v < 2 measured with microcavity polaritons

This paper reports spin polarization measurements in GaAs quantum Hall states for filling factors between 1 and 2 using microcavity polaritons, revealing full polarization at v=1 with Skyrmion-induced depolarization, and observing depolarization and repolarization at fractional states that align remarkably with a non-interacting, disorder-free Composite Fermion model.

Finite-Temperature Toroidal Moment Amenable to Direct Observation in an Fe10_{10}Dy10_{10} Molecular Ring

This study establishes the Fe10_{10}Dy10_{10} molecular ring as a viable platform for the direct preparation, accumulation, and detection of finite-temperature toroidal polarization by combining an ab initio-informed theoretical framework with a novel protocol utilizing temporally asymmetric near-infrared waveforms and magnetoelectric coupling.

Non-magnetic spin splitting driven by spin-valley-layer coupling in multilayer WSe2

This study demonstrates that an out-of-plane electric field can induce dominant spin splitting in the Q and Q' valleys of multilayer n-type WSe2 via spin-valley-layer coupling, offering a powerful non-magnetic alternative to magnetic fields for controlling spin states in low-power spintronic and quantum devices.

Dissipation due to bulk localized low-energy modes in strongly disordered superconductors

This paper presents a novel microscopic theory explaining that low-temperature microwave dissipation in strongly disordered superconductors is dominated by bulk localized collective modes arising from spatial inhomogeneity, thereby resolving the limitations of standard Mattis-Bardeen theory and offering strategies to mitigate losses in superconducting quantum devices.

A Symmetric Superconducting Dome Hosts Non-Fermi Liquid Behavior at Optimal Doping in MoS2

By employing a refined gating protocol to map a complete, symmetric superconducting dome in ionic liquid-gated MoS₂, this study reveals an anticorrelation between superconductivity and non-Fermi liquid behavior in the normal state, where scattering rates reach the Planckian limit, thereby offering new insights into the emergence of superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides.
