This paper reports the first experimental demonstration of efficient room-temperature orbital-to-magnon conversion in an orbital metal/antiferromagnetic insulator bilayer, which enables direct perpendicular magnetization switching and establishes a new link between orbitronics and magnonics for advanced nano-devices.
This article establishes an algebraic framework of second quantization for abelian anyons in one dimension and introduces an exact Jordan-Wigner duality mapping of -anyons onto spin-1 operators, thereby enabling the realization of anyonic physics via spin Hamiltonians and the development of related device architectures.
This paper demonstrates that while quantum coherence in two-terminal thermal machines can optimize the joint precision of charge and heat currents through cross-correlations, classical performance limits on efficiency and coefficient of performance remain constrained by Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations even in regimes dominated by coherent transport.
This study demonstrates that pronounced and tunable spin-wave bandgaps in hybrid YIG/CoFeB magnonic crystals arise from mode hybridization between fundamental and standing modes rather than conventional Bragg scattering, offering a versatile mechanism for engineering reconfigurable magnonic devices through geometric and magnetic control.
This paper reports the magnetic brightening and nanoscale visualization of highly spin-polarized infrared helical edge states using cryogenic magneto-infrared scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy, demonstrating that magnetic-field-induced gaps do not disrupt individual-layer edge states and offering a pathway toward ultralow-loss nanoscale interconnects for next-generation electronics.
This paper establishes that periodic -vacancy motifs in graphene superlattices can open a band gap by folding Dirac cones to the point, provided the vacancy arrangement preserves specific or point-group symmetries that constrain the cones to remain at high-symmetry locations.
Using a Hartree-Fock mean-field approach, this study demonstrates that in a half-filled Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain, the localization of bound states is governed by the ratio of extended to on-site Hubbard interactions (), which determines whether edge spin-density-wave modes or mid-chain charge-density-wave domain walls emerge, independent of the system's band topology.
This paper demonstrates that growing a continuous Permalloy film on a 3D nanopyramid template enables the engineering of two-dimensional magnonic band structures with complete in-plane band gaps and localized flat-band modes, offering a material-preserving alternative to traditional patterned magnonic crystals for spin-wave computing.
This contribution presents the first experimental realization of multiple topological corner states with high decay rates in a two-dimensional thermal diffusion system based on a Kagome lattice and provides new insights for the development of topologically protected thermal metamaterials.
This paper introduces a novel class of topological pairing orders characterized by half-integer monopole charges and Berry phase-enforced symmetry, which emerge from pairing Fermi surfaces with Chern numbers differing by an odd integer and exhibit unique features such as single gap nodes, nontrivial surface states, and fractionalized superfluid velocity relations.
