Hidden antiferromagnetism, persistent valley fluctuations, and U(6)U(6) crossovers in triangular-lattice M-point moiré materials via determinantal quantum Monte Carlo

Using sign-free determinantal quantum Monte Carlo simulations, this study reveals that triangular-lattice M-point moiré materials with near-U(6)U(6) symmetry exhibit a unique intermediate-coupling regime characterized by hidden antiferromagnetism and persistent valley fluctuations arising from the competition between local-moment formation and itinerancy.

A micromagnetic model with bidirectional magneto-thermal coupling

This paper establishes a rigorously self-consistent bidirectional magneto-thermal coupling model that integrates the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with a generalized heat transfer equation to dynamically link magnetization dissipation and thermal fluctuations, thereby ensuring thermodynamic consistency and enabling the study of complex nonequilibrium spin-caloritronic phenomena.

Thermoelectric information engine driven by an autonomous Maxwell demon across quantum-to-classical transitions

This paper investigates a three-terminal thermoelectric engine driven by an autonomous Maxwell demon to identify two distinct quantum-to-classical transitions—one controlled by interdot tunneling and another by phonon-induced decoherence—revealing how quantum coherence can enhance information flow and engine performance in specific regimes.

Non-Hermitian Skin Effect Along Hyperbolic Geodesics

This paper introduces a geodesic-based framework and a corresponding geodesic-periodic boundary condition to investigate the non-Hermitian skin effect in non-reciprocal hyperbolic lattices, revealing that spectral sensitivity is governed by geodesic boundaries and non-reciprocal directionality while requiring boundary localization to distinguish skin modes due to the extensive boundary volume inherent to hyperbolic geometry.
