Thermal Hall conductivity from semiclassical spin dynamics simulations: implementation and applications to chiral ferromagnets and Kitaev magnets

This paper presents a semiclassical spin dynamics framework for computing thermal Hall conductivity via linear response theory, demonstrating its effectiveness in capturing non-linear magnon interaction effects in chiral ferromagnets and Kitaev magnets beyond simple non-interacting approximations.

Pfaffian-based topological invariants for one dimensional semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures

This paper reviews and clarifies the validity of Pfaffian-based Z2\mathbb{Z}_2 topological invariants in one-dimensional semiconductor-superconductor nanowires by demonstrating their equivalence across momentum-space, real-space, and disordered systems, while establishing a direct physical interpretation linking the invariant to ground-state fermion parity.

Intrinsic magnetization of the superconducting condensate in Fe(Te,Se)

This paper provides experimental evidence for intrinsic, spin-polarized superconductivity in mesoscopic Fe(Te,Se) rings, characterized by a current-dependent magnetic field and dual flux quantization that is explained by a model combining Rashba coupling with anisotropic out-of-plane interactions.

Structural and electronic signatures of strain-tunable marginally twisted bilayer graphene

Using scanning tunneling microscopy and tight-binding calculations, this study reveals how strain induces distinct domain wall transitions and modulates electronic states in marginally twisted bilayer graphene, establishing strain as a key control parameter for its structural and electronic properties.

Orbital-Zeeman cross correlation in pp- and dd-wave altermagnets

This paper investigates the orbital-Zeeman cross correlation in altermagnets, revealing that while pp-wave order parameters have limited or magnitude-reducing effects on Rashba metals and topological insulator surfaces, dd-wave order parameters induce a sign change in Rashba metals and preserve the chemical potential jump magnitude in topological insulators while reducing the overall term.

How to formulate the Z8\mathbb{Z}_8 topological invariant of Majorana fermion on the lattice

This paper proposes and numerically verifies a lattice formulation of the Z8\mathbb{Z}_8-valued Arf-Brown-Kervaire invariant for Majorana fermions on two-dimensional non-oriented manifolds, demonstrating that it can be extracted from Pfaffians of the Wilson Dirac operator and agrees with continuum theory results.
