Percolative Pathway to Stripe Order in KTaO3-Based Superconductivity

This study demonstrates that controlled interfacial disorder in MgO/KTaO3(111) heterostructures drives a percolative transition from localized Cooper pairs to stripe-ordered superconductivity, revealing a self-organized modulation governed by spin-orbit coupling and lattice symmetry breaking.

Moiré Folded Helical States at the Interfaces of Heterostructures

This paper presents a minimal model of a graphene–topological-insulator heterostructure demonstrating how a moiré superlattice modulates Rashba spin-orbit coupling to lift spin degeneracy, fragment helicity across minibands, and generate emergent relativistic quasiparticles, thereby offering a microscopic mechanism for amplifying proximity-induced spin-orbit effects through moiré engineering.

Loop-gap resonators achieving strong magnon-photon coupling in magnetic insulator thin films

This paper presents a modular loop-gap resonator design that achieves strong magnon-photon coupling with thin epitaxial yttrium iron garnet films at room temperature, enabling field-differential spectroscopy and the study of both uniform and standing spin-wave modes to facilitate the use of magnetic insulator multilayers in cavity magnonics.

Hybrid Monte Carlo for Fractional Quantum Hall States

This paper introduces a significantly faster hybrid Monte Carlo method utilizing global updates and double stereographic projection to efficiently simulate large-scale fractional quantum Hall systems (N>1000N > 1000), enabling high-precision calculations of topological shifts and non-Abelian braiding matrices that surpass previous results.

Detecting Exciton Condensation through Charge Transport in Semiconductor Heterostructures

This paper proposes using charge transport measurements in doped transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures to detect exciton condensation by identifying distinct signatures such as reduced resistivity due to suppressed scattering and a sign reversal of Hall resistivity caused by condensate-induced hybridization near a solid-state Feshbach resonance.

Fidelity susceptibility and geometric response in flux-tuned Dirac systems: exact results from a low-energy two-level reduction

This paper derives an exact closed-form expression for the ground-state Bures metric of massive Dirac fermions under Aharonov-Bohm flux, revealing a universal Lorentzian profile controlled by the Dirac mass that diverges in the chiral limit and serves as a geometric counterpart to thermodynamic critical behavior, independent of topological invariants.

Chiral-Angle-Controlled Altermagnetic Spin Splitting in Nanotubes

This paper demonstrates that rolling a two-dimensional dd-wave altermagnet into a nanotube transforms its momentum-dependent spin splitting into a chiral-angle-controlled one-dimensional splitting following a cos⁡(2θ)\cos(2\theta) dependence, thereby establishing dimensional projection as a general strategy for engineering spin-split quantum states in low-dimensional magnetic materials.

Valley Engineering in Bilayer WSe2_2 Gate-All-Around Transistors

This paper demonstrates that bilayer WSe2_2 is the optimal channel for valley-engineered gate-all-around transistors because its near-thermal K-Γ\Gamma valley degeneracy at room temperature enables simultaneous enhancement of on-current and suppression of off-current via strain, while maintaining a subthreshold swing near the thermionic limit.
