This study reports the crystal structure of a new helical InSeI polymorph and utilizes polarized Raman spectroscopy to map its lattice dynamics and chain orientation, revealing that despite its helical structure, the material lacks chiral phonons.
This study demonstrates that applying approximately 3% tensile edge strain to zigzag CrI nanoribbons significantly enhances topological magnon-driven spin currents and their decay lengths by inducing strongly localized edge states, thereby establishing straintronics as a viable method for controlling topological magnons in two-dimensional magnetic materials.
This paper demonstrates that two-dimensional altermagnets, exemplified by CrSO, enable the ultrafast control of spin and valley degrees of freedom via linearly polarized femtosecond laser pulses, facilitating nearly 100% spin-polarized valley currents and a novel "ghost Hall" effect where spin and charge currents become orthogonal without traditional Hall physics.
This study demonstrates that applying x-y strain to monolayer graphene induces topological curvature that energetically stabilizes the system, modifies its electronic structure to create promising features for thermoelectrics, and reduces lattice thermal conductivity by enhancing phonon scattering through the transition of flexural acoustic modes from quadratic to linear dispersion.
This paper reports the discovery and theoretical verification of a giant longitudinal domain-wall Hall magnetoresistance in the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2, which arises from an electric field distribution induced by the transverse giant anomalous Hall effect and offers potential for advanced multi-resistance-state modulation.
This paper demonstrates that introducing Ornstein-Uhlenbeck noise can unexpectedly restore the dynamical skin effect in quasiperiodic non-Hermitian systems by mapping the dynamics onto a non-reciprocal master equation with a noise-induced point gap, thereby overcoming static localization and enabling noise-controlled transport.
Using a charge self-consistent tight-binding method, this study reveals that junctions between Bernal and rhombohedral graphite half-crystals universally host localized electronic states, with most configurations involving rhombohedral stacking supporting flat bands that suggest the emergence of strongly correlated and topological phenomena.
This paper develops a semiclassical Boltzmann theory to demonstrate how frequency-dependent magneto-optical transport in Weyl semimetals is governed by the complex interplay of orbital magnetic moments, cone tilt, and intervalley scattering, revealing distinct regimes where strong scattering can suppress the chiral anomaly and where tilt orientation dictates the symmetry and sign of the longitudinal magneto-optical conductivity.
This paper introduces a high-throughput AFM-based mechanical cleaning method using Pt-wedge modified cantilevers that significantly improves cleaning rates and sample quality for two-dimensional materials and their heterostructures, as demonstrated by enhanced photoluminescence in WS2 and better electrical contacts.
This paper demonstrates that spectrally isolated topological quartets in localized settings can acquire loop holonomies that generate non-local, entangling quantum gates despite preserving a local two-qubit description at each parameter point, a phenomenon undetectable by standard topological diagnostics but revealed by measuring the distance of the holonomy to the local subgroup.
