Current-Induced Dynamics and Instability Pathways of Skyrmioniums in Chiral Magnets

This study combines micromagnetic simulations and analytical modeling to reveal how the internal structural imbalance of skyrmioniums drives a finite Hall effect and diverse current-induced instability pathways, while also characterizing the rich collective dynamics of skyrmionium-based meta-matter for potential applications in tunable nonequilibrium topological systems.

Amplitudes of Hall field-induced resistance oscillations with a two-harmonic density of states

This paper extends the Vavilov-Aleiner-Glazman kinetic framework to derive strong-field asymptotics for Hall field-induced resistance oscillations (HIRO) with a two-harmonic density of states, demonstrating that analyzing odd harmonics allows for the precise extraction of scattering times τ(0)\tau(0), τ(π)\tau(\pi), and τq\tau_q to sub-percent accuracy.

Persistence of large and gate-tunable anisotropic magnetoresistance in an atomically thin antiferromagnet

This study demonstrates that the anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in the atomically thin antiferromagnetic semiconductor NiPS3 remains robust down to 1.3 nm and is fully gate-tunable, enabling precise electrical readout and control of the Néel vector for advanced spintronic applications.

Ultrafast Current Switching from Quantum Geometry in Semimetals

This paper proposes that semimetallic systems with non-trivial quantum geometry, such as quadratic band-touching semimetals and singular flat bands, enable ultrafast, stable current switching driven by interband coupling and finite density of states, outperforming conventional materials and offering realistic platforms like bilayer graphene and monolayer bismuth for next-generation electronics.

Observation of ring states in a delicate topological insulator

This paper demonstrates that strong local impurities in a phononic metamaterial can serve as a spectroscopic probe to detect delicate topological insulators by observing persistent in-gap "ring states," which remain pinned in frequency and form a ring-shaped profile around the impurity even when the system's defining multicellularity is removed.

Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Quantum Materials: Symmetry, Topology, and the Rise of Altermagnets

This review examines how machine learning and deep learning, particularly symmetry-aware architectures like E(3)-equivariant Graph Neural Networks, overcome the computational bottlenecks of traditional methods to accelerate the discovery of exotic quantum phases, including the automated identification of topological materials and the recent expansion of the altermagnet landscape.

Disambiguating electrical detection of magnetization dynamics in magnetic insulators

This paper establishes a framework to disambiguate the competing contributions of spin pumping and spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance in electrical detection of magnetization dynamics within magnetic insulators, demonstrating that signal sign and magnitude are governed by spin-wave profiles, magnetic damping, and device geometry rather than magnon chirality alone.
