Stabilization of Interband Phase Solitons in Two-Band Noncentrosymmetric Superconducting Rings

This paper demonstrates that in two-band noncentrosymmetric superconducting rings, sufficiently strong inversion symmetry breaking induces a magneto-electric coupling that stabilizes interband phase solitons as true ground states with field-determined chirality, replacing the metastable states found in centrosymmetric materials.

Hall effect in viscous flows of two-dimensional electrons in samples with edges of arbitrary roughness

This paper develops a theoretical model for hydrodynamic magnetotransport in two-dimensional electron systems with arbitrary edge roughness, predicting that specific non-monotonic behaviors in Hall resistance—such as high-field saturation and magnetic-field-induced minima—serve as distinct experimental signatures of the viscous flow regime and allow for the quantification of edge roughness.

Giant bulk photovoltaic effect driven by interfacial symmetry breaking in MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 heterostructures

This study demonstrates a giant bulk photovoltaic effect in MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 van der Waals heterostructures driven by interfacial symmetry breaking and spontaneous charge transfer, achieving a record zero-bias photocurrent density of 247 A/cm² through a minimalist orthogonal device geometry that enables the clear separation and optimization of competing photophysical mechanisms.

Terahertz anomalous Hall effect in magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2

This paper presents a systematic terahertz spectroscopy study combined with semianalytical modeling to explain the intrinsic gyrotropic optical response and giant anomalous Hall effect in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3_3Sn2_2S2_2 as arising from the momentum-space separation of its Weyl nodes, while quantitatively constraining the material's physical parameters.
