This paper constructs families of periodic planar lattices, specifically Apollonian lattices, that achieve arbitrarily high critical temperatures for the ferromagnetic Ising model by demonstrating that scales logarithmically with the maximal coordination number and conjecturing this family to be optimal for such systems.
This paper demonstrates that monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides serve as an ideal platform for observing both orbital and spin Nernst effects, revealing that the orbital Nernst effect arises intrinsically without spin-orbit coupling while the spin Nernst effect scales with it, with both phenomena being tunable via doping in semiconducting MoS and intrinsically present in metallic NbS.
This paper provides an overview of recent advancements in using electron beams to probe quantum coherence in semiconductors and two-dimensional materials, while offering a perspective on leveraging these beams to manipulate entanglement and correlations for future quantum technologies.
This paper establishes a rigorous, duality-invariant definition of critical states based on the simultaneous absence of exponential localization in both real and momentum space (the Liu–Xia condition), transforming it from a phenomenological criterion into an exact solvability principle that predicts critical lines and surfaces in diverse quasiperiodic and non-Hermitian models.
This paper establishes a theoretical framework for angle-dependent magnetoresistance in metallic altermagnets, demonstrating that the unique characteristics of spin-splitter magnetoresistance (SSMR) serve as a definitive experimental signature to distinguish altermagnets from conventional compensated magnets.
This paper investigates how competing mass orders exhibit color degeneracy and develop distinct local expectation values near the cores of vortices and skyrmions in two-dimensional fermionic systems with quadratic band touching, revealing rich symmetry-breaking patterns and novel pairing states such as charge- Kekulé pair density waves.
This paper investigates nonlinear thermal and thermoelectric responses as powerful probes of quantum geometry, revealing a network of connections analogous to standard transport relations that offer new insights into topological systems like Weyl-Kondo semimetals and Bernal bilayer graphene.
This work demonstrates the initialization of GHz-frequency mechanical modes in a high-overtone bulk acoustic wave resonator to near-quantum ground states with effective temperatures as low as 25.2 mK, thereby establishing these devices as powerful tools for quantum sensing and placing stringent constraints on high-frequency gravitational waves, ultra-light dark matter, and wavefunction collapse mechanisms.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that a quasiperiodic modulation in Fibonacci superconductors induces topological edge modes, termed Fibonacci-Andreev bound states, which can be controlled via the phason angle to dominate the Josephson current and offer new avenues for exploring exotic superconducting phenomena in quasicrystals.
This paper demonstrates that Josephson junctions coupled by magnetic textures serve as a controllable platform for odd-frequency superconductivity, where the emergence of Majorana bound states in the topological phase is intrinsically linked to robust, divergent odd-frequency equal-spin triplet pairing that can be probed and manipulated through magnetic textures, nonmagnetic barriers, and superconducting phase differences.
