Non-equilibrium bosonization of fractional quantum Hall edges

This paper develops a non-equilibrium bosonization framework based on the Keldysh action to analyze charge statistics, Green's functions, and tunneling transport in fractional quantum Hall edges, demonstrating how interaction-induced anyonic fractionalization and braiding phases manifest in measurable observables like the Fano factor for both single-mode and multi-mode systems.

Manipulation of ferromagnetism with a light-driven nonlinear Edelstein-Zeeman field

This study demonstrates non-thermal, ultrafast optical control of ferromagnetism in the centrosymmetric material Cr2_2Ge2_2Te6_6 by utilizing a resonant nonlinear Edelstein effect to generate an effective Edelstein-Zeeman field that drives magnetization dynamics, as evidenced by polarization-dependent THz emission spectroscopy.

Terahertz time-domain signatures of the inverse Edelstein effect in topological-insulator|ferromagnet heterostructures

This study utilizes terahertz time-domain spectroscopy to distinguish the inverse Edelstein effect from the inverse spin Hall effect in ferromagnet-topological insulator heterostructures by identifying a unique 270-fs relaxation component in the transient charge current that serves as a signature of interfacial spin-charge conversion.
