Probing the topological protection of edge states in multilayer tungsten ditelluride with the superconducting proximity effect

By fabricating SQUIDs to compare supercurrent interference between the bulk and edges of multilayer WTe2, the study demonstrates that edge states exhibit ballistic transport over 600 nm with a sawtooth-like current-phase relation, providing strong evidence for their topological protection and the material's second-order topological insulator character.

Melting of Charge Density Waves in Low Dimensions

This article experimentally demonstrates and elucidates the continuous hexatic melting mechanism of incommensurate charge density waves in low-dimensional materials and reveals a progression from elastic deformations to the nucleation of topological defects through the observation of azimuthal peak broadening, wave vector contraction, and intensity reduction.

Explicit equivalence between the spectral localizer and local Chern and winding markers

This paper explicitly establishes the equivalence between momentum-space topological invariants and real-space markers (such as the local Chern and winding markers) in disordered systems by demonstrating that these markers emerge as leading-order terms in a systematic perturbative expansion of the spectral localizer using only Clifford algebra.

Tunable Interlayer Charge-transfer States in MoSe2_2/WS2_2 Moiré Superlattices

This study combines first-principles calculations and optical spectroscopy to demonstrate how tuning the vertical electric field in electron-doped MoSe2_2/WS2_2 moiré superlattices switches the band alignment from Type-I to Type-II, enabling precise control over interlayer charge-transfer states and the realization of a tunable Fermi-Hubbard model with predicted correlated charge-ordered states at integer and fractional fillings.

Thermodynamic incompleteness in non-Markovian Majorana transport I: Island dynamics and missing transport statistics

This paper demonstrates that complete knowledge of non-Markovian island-state dynamics in Majorana transport systems is thermodynamically incomplete, as it fails to uniquely determine lead-specific transport statistics like charge and heat noise due to a fundamental loss of information regarding the specific reservoir channels involved in electron exchange.
