By combining high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy with density functional theory, this study reveals that Fe-site ordering in the van der Waals ferromagnet FeGeTe drives nanoscale electronic phase separation, where ordered Fe(1) domains exhibit metallic behavior while deficient regions display pseudogapped states due to symmetry-allowed Fe 3d-Te 5p orbital hybridization.
This paper establishes a unified framework for electron- and phonon-driven superconductivity in twisted bilayer graphene, revealing that momentum-space frustration of locally preferred nematic orders can stabilize a chiral ground state with unpaired flat bands at large fillings or weak interactions.
This paper presents the first comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of both first- and second-order dissipative phase transitions in a two-photon driven Kerr superconducting resonator, characterizing critical dynamics such as hysteresis and symmetry breaking to validate Liouvillian spectral theory for engineering criticality in quantum information applications.
This paper demonstrates a critical quantum sensor using a superconducting parametric Kerr resonator that achieves quadratic precision scaling in frequency estimation near a second-order dissipative phase transition, thereby surpassing the linear scaling limit of classical protocols.
This paper demonstrates a nanoscale sensing technique that utilizes a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond to detect and map boron vacancy defects in hexagonal boron nitride by measuring changes in spin relaxation time () caused by cross-relaxation, thereby enabling optical-free characterization of 2D spin systems beyond the diffraction limit.
Using terahertz emission spectroscopy on wedge-shaped heavy metal|Ni heterostructures, this study provides the first direct experimental evidence that orbital mean free paths in heavy metals are ultrashort (sub-nanometer scale) and shorter than spin counterparts, confirming that bulk inverse orbital Hall effect governs orbital-to-charge conversion.
This interdisciplinary paper proposes that the one-form global symmetry and its anomaly serve as a unifying organizing principle to constrain and uniquely identify the minimal topological orders underlying various fractional quantum Hall systems based on their Hall conductivity.
This paper introduces Poly2Graph, an automated pipeline for generating HSG-12M, a pioneering 16.7-million-scale dataset of spatial multigraphs derived from non-Hermitian crystal energy spectra, which bridges condensed matter physics and geometry-aware graph learning by preserving vital geometric information often discarded in existing benchmarks.
This paper proposes that circularly polarized laser light can drive monolayer amorphous carbon into topological phases characterized by regular and anomalous edge modes, demonstrating that local atomic coordination and the spectral localizer marker are key to engineering topological states in disordered, non-crystalline materials.
This paper proposes the existence of a novel interfacial topological quasiparticle called the "Janus skyrmion," which features coexisting asymmetric helicity structures at magnetic interfaces and exhibits unique one-dimensional dynamics driven by spin currents and thermal fluctuations without the skyrmion Hall effect.
