Terahertz time-domain signatures of the inverse Edelstein effect in topological-insulator|ferromagnet heterostructures

This study utilizes terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to distinguish the inverse Edelstein effect from the inverse spin Hall effect in ferromagnet-topological insulator heterostructures by identifying a unique 270-fs relaxation component in the transient charge current that serves as a signature of interfacial spin-charge conversion.

Tunable Competing Electronic Orders in Double Quantum Spin Hall Superlattices

This paper utilizes renormalization-group analysis to demonstrate that weakly coupled double helical edge states in double quantum spin Hall superlattices can realize a tunable helical sliding Luttinger liquid phase, offering a promising materials platform for experimentally exploring competing two-dimensional π\pi-superconducting and π\pi-spin density wave orders.

Time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity with electronic glass in nickelate (La, Pr, Sm)3Ni2O7 films

This study reports the discovery of an unprecedented time-reversal symmetry breaking superconducting state accompanied by electronic glass dynamics in epitaxially strained (La, Pr, Sm)₃Ni₂O₇ bilayer nickelate films, evidenced by unconventional magnetoresistance hysteresis, zero-field non-reciprocity, and logarithmically slow resistance relaxations.

Symmetry-enforced agreement of Kohn--Sham and many-body Berry phases in the SSH--Hubbard chain

This study demonstrates that in the inversion-symmetric gapped regime of the SSH-Hubbard chain, the Kohn-Sham and many-body Berry phases coincide across all interaction strengths not because the electron density encodes the geometric phase, but due to symmetry-enforced matching of their Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 sectors despite the many-body wave function exhibiting a nontrivial geometric response.
