This paper investigates the quantum dynamics of Gaussian wavepackets scattering from skyrmions using the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, revealing that iterative spin flipping induces complex angular-dependent cross sections, secondary wavefronts, and long-lived quasi-bound states, while providing a versatile numerical framework for exploring tunable spin transport in arbitrary spin textures.
This perspective reviews magnetic materials for quantum magnonics, emphasizing yttrium iron garnet (YIG) as the benchmark and highlighting recent advances in YIG films on yttrium scandium gallium/aluminum garnet (YSGAG) substrates that overcome lifetime limitations to enable scalable quantum technologies.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that loopless multiterminal hybrid superconducting devices at odd fermion parity exhibit a double-minimum energy-phase relationship and a four-dimensional spin-chirality low-energy subspace, which can be universally controlled via electric fields when capacitive shunting suppresses state splitting.
This study utilizes cryogenic tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to map the vibrational landscapes of single iron phthalocyanine molecules on silver surfaces, revealing how substrate anisotropy and adsorption geometry induce symmetry lowering and lift the degeneracy of molecular vibrational modes.
This paper demonstrates that Green's function zeros in Mott insulators manifest as in-gap "zeron" excitations in impurity spectroscopy, providing a practical experimental method to detect and control their topology using magnetic fields.
This study demonstrates that electrical pulse-driven instabilities in the Mott insulator 1T-TaS induce a percolative metal-insulator transition characterized by negative differential resistance and a temperature-dependent fractal evolution of conductive pathways, linking multiscale domain-wall reorganization to non-equilibrium phase transitions in low-dimensional quantum materials.
This study establishes experimentally realized 4-5-6-8 carbon nanoribbons as a topology-driven platform that simultaneously engineers robust semiconducting, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties through controlled lattice asymmetry, enabling the predictive design of multifunctional carbon materials.
This study proposes a GaSe-VPSe3-GaSe sandwiched heterostructure where sliding ferroelectricity induces and switches altermagnetism through interfacial covalent bonding, enabling a low-energy barrier magnetoelectric transition between altermagnetic and antiferromagnetic states for advanced spintronic applications.
By fabricating nano-holes in infinite-layer nickelate superconductors to engineer Josephson junction arrays, this study demonstrates that enhanced phase fluctuations drive a two-stage transition to an anomalous metallic state and reveal hidden intertwined orders, including charge-2e coherence and a reversal of superconducting anisotropy.
This study demonstrates that interfacing Py with the van der Waals antiferromagnetic insulator FePS significantly enhances and reverses the sign of the field-like spin-orbit torque through interfacial effects driven by antiferromagnetic ordering, while leaving the damping-like torque largely unaffected.
