Programmable Magnetic Hysteresis in Orthogonally-Twisted Two-Dimensional CrSBr Magnets via Stacking Engineering

By engineering the stacking configuration and twist angle of orthogonally-twisted CrSBr van der Waals magnets, researchers demonstrate a highly tunable magnetic hysteresis that enables on-demand switching between volatile and non-volatile memory states and controls abrupt spin-reversal processes, offering a new pathway for miniaturized spintronic devices.

Generic deformation channels for critical Fermi surfaces including the impact of collisions

This paper extends the analysis of critical Fermi surface deformations at an Ising-nematic quantum critical point by employing quantum Boltzmann equations that include collision effects, revealing that while bosonic dynamics do not alter the solutions, the system supports a robust zero-sound mode and an infinite family of discrete higher-order harmonic modes alongside a continuous particle-hole band.

Interaction-driven quantum phase transitions between topological and crystalline orders of electrons

By leveraging electrostatic control of Landau-level crossings in high-quality bilayer graphene devices, this study demonstrates that enhanced Landau-level mixing near orbital crossings stabilizes electronic crystals over topological fractional quantum Hall liquids at constant filling factors, revealing distinct transition characteristics and evidence for a paired composite fermion state.

Resonant interlayer coupling in NbSe2_2-graphite epitaxial moir{é} superlattices

This study demonstrates that epitaxial growth of monolayer NbSe2_2 on graphite naturally forms moir{é} superlattices where interlayer coupling between graphite π\pi states and NbSe2_2 suppresses charge-density wave enhancement, offering a new pathway for controlling collective states in 2D materials without manual assembly.

Persistence of charge ordering instability to Coulomb engineering in the excitonic insulator candidate TiSe2_2

By utilizing Coulomb engineering to tune dielectric screening in ultra-clean TiSe2_2 heterostructures, the study demonstrates that while the band gap is renormalized, the charge-density-wave transition remains unaffected, thereby ruling out excitonic insulator physics as the primary driver of the phase transition in TiSe2_2.

Experimental evidence of the topological obstruction in twisted bilayer graphene

Using scanning tunnelling microscopy to analyze the local density of states near defects, this study experimentally confirms the topological obstruction and key band structure features of magic angle twisted bilayer graphene, including chirality patterns, Lifshitz transitions, and Fermi velocity renormalization.
