This study reports the direct imaging of a field-induced nematic state of Berry curvature in the spin-compensated antiferromagnet Mn3NiN and reveals a new class of collective order characterized by a spatially modulated electronic geometry that spontaneously breaks rotational symmetry.
This paper employs the characteristic determinant approach to derive closed-form analytical expressions for the scattering matrix elements, energy spectrum, and spectral singularities of one-dimensional hybrid PT-symmetric finite systems composed of a passive region flanked by gain and loss regions.
Motivated by indications of high-temperature superconductivity, this study uses first-principles calculations and a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model to demonstrate that combining two different rhombohedral stacking sequences in graphite induces topological flat bands near the Fermi level at the domain interface.
This paper theoretically and numerically demonstrates that quantum interference effects, specifically Berry-phase-induced current blocking, can be accurately modeled using an effective Hamiltonian within a density matrix framework and implemented via the QmeQ software to analyze transport through single-molecule magnets coupled to oppositely polarized leads.
This study utilizes in-situ time-resolved X-ray diffraction to non-invasively characterize the thermal response of colloidal CdSe/CdS quantum dots, revealing extremely low thermal conductivity in thin films (0.55 W m⁻¹ K⁻¹) and dominant interfacial thermal conductance in liquid dispersions (~15 MW m⁻² K⁻¹).
This paper introduces a "phase-shift instanton" framework to establish a duality between quasi-particle and electron tunneling in non-Abelian fractional quantum Hall states, revealing that the requirement for true fermionic transport leads to a universal scaling in the strong-coupling regime for both Moore-Read and Read-Rezayi states.
This paper predicts that altermagnets exhibit a giant, switchable transverse magnon spin current induced by electrical injection, which serves as a decisive experimental fingerprint to distinguish them from conventional antiferromagnets due to their broken parity-time symmetry.
This paper reviews the historical development and experimental findings of spin caloritronics, a field integrating spintronics with thermal transport, while discussing future prospects across measurement techniques, physics, materials science, and engineering applications as the discipline transitions from fundamental research to practical materials science.
This paper introduces the orbital-splitter current (OSC) in collinear altermagnets, demonstrating that materials like exhibit a purely intrinsic, highly anisotropic OSC that can exceed spin-splitter currents and significantly accelerate magnetization switching in heterostructures.
This paper demonstrates that breaking time-reversal symmetry in a three-terminal Josephson junction creates synthetic flat bands and a hierarchical topological structure, resulting in phase-fluctuation-insensitive quantized transconductance and a global "sweet plateau" ideal for robust Andreev qubits.
