Versatile multi-q antiferromagnetic charge order in correlated vdW metals

Using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy, researchers discovered that the van der Waals metal CeTe3 hosts versatile, competing antiferromagnetic charge-ordered states (stripe and checkerboard) tunable by modest magnetic fields, revealing a rich, strongly correlated electronic landscape that extends beyond weak-coupling descriptions and offers a new platform for engineering tunable nanoscale quantum states.

Quantum eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an electron confined between conducting planes

This expository paper derives the electrostatic potential arising from image charges for an electron confined between grounded conducting planes, coupling a hydrogen-like system with a particle-in-a-box model, and solves the resulting Schrödinger equation to analyze the transition between large and small separation limits and the associated tunneling level splitting.

Distinguishing and Separating In-Plane Hall Responses

This paper presents a universal framework utilizing distinct field-reversal symmetries and angular dependencies, implemented via a 12-terminal Hall bar on the ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal Fe3Sn, to disentangle and separate overlapping contributions to in-plane Hall responses for clearer interpretation of topological and magnetic phenomena.

Intrinsic Magnetoelectric Hall Effect from Layer-Orbital Quantum Geometry

This paper predicts and demonstrates an intrinsic, scattering-time-independent magnetoelectric Hall effect in layered nonmagnetic materials, which arises from a mixed layer-orbital quantum geometry and is bilinear in electric and magnetic fields, with rhombohedral pentalayer graphene serving as a key realization.

Microscopic modeling of flopping-mode quantum dot spin qubits

This paper presents a semi-analytical microscopic modeling framework that maps device geometry to qubit parameters for flopping-mode spin qubits, revealing a fundamental tradeoff between fast electrical driving and spectral purity while providing design guidelines for optimizing both single- and two-qubit control in realistic architectures.

Memristive Switches in Rigid Conjugated Single-Molecule Junctions

This study demonstrates that voltage-driven memristive switching in rigid conjugated single-molecule junctions arises from extrinsic, mechanically mediated contact rearrangements rather than intrinsic molecular pathways, with switching stability and reproducibility critically dependent on the specific anchoring groups and molecular connectivity.

Majorana zero modes in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid structures: Defining topology in short and disordered nanowires through Majorana splitting

This paper theoretically demonstrates that in short, disordered semiconductor-superconductor nanowires, the exponential protection of Majorana zero modes is highly constrained and often suppressed by disorder, implying that the definition of "topology" in such finite systems is not unique and requires context-dependent analysis.
