Flux-induced Aharonov-Bohm Oscillation in the Tunneling Spectroscopy of Kitaev Spin Liquids

This paper proposes that spatially resolved scanning tunneling microscopy with inelastic electron tunneling spectroscopy can detect Aharonov-Bohm-like oscillations in the local dynamical spin response of Kitaev spin liquids, providing a finite-energy, spatially resolved signature of emergent $\pi$ fluxes and their mutual statistics with itinerant Majorana fermions without requiring individual anyon manipulation.

$\mathcal{PT}$ and anti- $\mathcal{PT}$ phase transitions in a trimerized Su--Schrieffer--Heeger chain with nonreciprocal Rashba spin-orbit coupling

This paper theoretically investigates a one-dimensional trimerized Su--Schrieffer--Heeger chain with nonreciprocal Rashba spin-orbit coupling, revealing a rich phase diagram of $\mathcal{PT}$ and anti- $\mathcal{PT}$ transitions and establishing a spin-resolved bulk-edge correspondence where bulk and edge states can belong to distinct symmetry classes.

Restoring heat and particle flow in strongly coupled non-equilibrium devices

This paper utilizes scattering theory to explain the turnover effect in strongly coupled non-equilibrium quantum systems as a consequence of total reflection preventing particle interaction, and proposes a quantum tunneling protocol to overcome this barrier and restore maximum heat and particle currents.

Spectral Anisotropy in Transition Radiation from Biaxial Media

This paper experimentally demonstrates and theoretically models spectrally anisotropic transition radiation in biaxial van der Waals crystals, revealing that the radiation's spectral properties depend on the orientation of the optical field relative to the material's principal dielectric axes and establishing transition radiation as a sensitive probe for axis-dependent dielectric responses.

Interedge backscattering in quantum spin Hall-based NS and SNS junctions

This paper utilizes a microscopic Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model to investigate how interedge backscattering in quantum spin Hall-based NS and SNS junctions, driven by factors like barrier geometry and disorder, deviates from quantized conductance and hybridizes Andreev branches to modify superconducting interference patterns.
