A relationship between nonunitary mixed parity superconductivity and magnetism with spin-orbit coupling

This paper demonstrates that nonunitary mixed parity superconductivity is physically equivalent to magnetism with spin-orbit coupling via the Schrieffer-Wolff transformation, revealing that phenomena such as Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions, magnetoelectric effects, and altermagnetism can emerge purely from superconductivity without intrinsic magnetic or spin-orbit coupling.

Spin-orbit-driven quarter semimetals in rhombohedral graphene

This study reports the observation of spin-orbit-driven quarter semimetals in rhombohedral multilayer graphene, where strong correlations and proximitized spin-orbit coupling induce spontaneous symmetry breaking and a hysteretic anomalous Hall effect, ultimately enabling a magnetic-field-tuned phase transition to Chern insulators.

Scale-dependent universality class crossover in magnetic skyrmion polymers

This study reveals that dipolar magnetic skyrmion chains, which assemble into one-dimensional polymers with alternating helicity, exhibit a scale-dependent universality class crossover in their statistical mechanics—shifting from a linear to a square-root temperature dependence in bond fluctuations—driven by competing radial interactions that create quartic transverse confinement, a behavior distinct from conventional biopolymers and robust across different interaction potentials and magnetic field strengths.

On the static dielectric constant of thin dielectrics in extremely scaled silicon nanosheet transistors

This paper argues that while the static dielectric constant of thin semiconductor and insulator nanostructures is strongly influenced by their environment, the use of bulk dielectric constants remains justified for realistic double-gated silicon nanosheet transistors because the reduction in optical phonon density of states due to confinement has a negligible effect on the dielectric response.

Entanglement signatures of topological phase transitions in a dirty Weyl semimetal

This paper investigates how entanglement spectrum and entropy signatures evolve in a disordered Weyl semimetal, demonstrating that disorder broadens the characteristic ξ=1/2\xi=1/2 eigenvalue locus associated with Fermi arcs, which subsequently vanishes either through gradual spectral weight loss during node annihilation or by merging into the background at the transition to a diffusive metallic state.

Scanning Gate Microscopy Modulation of Supercurrent in Graphene Josephson Junctions

This study utilizes Scanning Gate Microscopy to quantitatively characterize and map the spatial modulation of supercurrent in hBN-encapsulated graphene Josephson junctions, demonstrating strong agreement with numerical simulations and establishing a pathway for high-resolution local manipulation of gate-tunable superconducting phenomena.
