Explore the fascinating intersection where quantum materials meet the complexity of everyday environments in the Cond-Mat — Mes-Hall section. This field investigates how tiny particles behave when caught between the orderly world of single atoms and the chaotic nature of bulk matter, revealing the hidden rules that govern electricity, magnetism, and heat in novel substances.

Gist.Science brings these cutting-edge discoveries to you directly from arXiv, the leading repository for physics preprints. We process every new submission in this category as soon as it appears, offering both straightforward, plain-language explanations and deep technical summaries to help researchers and curious minds alike grasp the latest breakthroughs without getting lost in dense equations.

Below are the most recent papers in this dynamic area of condensed matter physics, ready for you to explore.

Signature of inverse orbital Hall effect in silicon studied using time-resolved terahertz polarimetry

This study demonstrates that silicon exhibits a robust, long-lived anomalous Hall conductivity under circularly polarized light at room temperature, which is attributed to the inverse orbital Hall effect rather than spin polarization, thereby establishing a foundation for silicon-based orbitronics.
