Emergence of multiple topological spin textures in an all-magnetic van der Waals heterostructure

Using a first-principles-based spin-spiral approach and atomistic spin models, this study predicts the emergence of diverse topological spin textures, including Néel-type skyrmions and bimerons, in an all-magnetic Fe3_3GeTe2_2/Cr2_2Ge2_2Te6_6 van der Waals heterostructure driven by interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions and geometric exchange frustration.

Single vanadium ion magnetic dopant in an individual CdTe/ZnTe quantum dot

This paper reports the experimental realization and characterization of an individual V2+ ion embedded in a CdTe/ZnTe quantum dot, where polarization-resolved magneto-photoluminescence combined with numerical modeling confirms the system's properties and identifies its fundamental spin-1/2 state as a promising localized qubit.

Extremely high excitonic gg-factors in 2D crystals by alloy-induced admixing of band states

This study demonstrates that alloying monolayer Mox_{x}W1x_{1-x}Se2_2 semiconductors enables the engineering of extremely high excitonic gg-factors (up to -10) through non-trivial band structure modifications, as confirmed by both magneto-optical spectroscopy and first-principles calculations.

Probing Quantum Anomalous Hall States in Twisted Bilayer WSe2 via Attractive Polaron Spectroscopy

This study provides the first direct evidence of a tunable Quantum Anomalous Hall state with spontaneous ferromagnetism in twisted bilayer WSe2 by utilizing polarization-resolved attractive polaron spectroscopy to observe time-reversal symmetry breaking and confirm a Chern number of C=1.

Magnon thermal Hall effect in collinear antiferromagnets

This paper theoretically demonstrates that a non-zero magnon thermal Hall effect can occur in collinear antiferromagnets at zero external magnetic field, driven by symmetry-breaking mechanisms such as sublattice asymmetry in compensated Néel order or Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions in weak ferromagnets, and proposes a model where an external electric field can modulate this effect by altering the system's symmetry.

Anyonic exchange in the time domain is tied to Luttinger type scaling

This paper demonstrates that within the Unified Nonequilibrium Perturbative framework, the anyonic exchange phase in Fractional Quantum Hall edges is fundamentally tied to Luttinger liquid scaling dimensions, yielding unique solutions for both Poissonian and super-Poissonian DC backscattering currents and noise through a derived nonequilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relation.
