This paper theoretically demonstrates that moderate electronic correlations induce altermagnetic order in a Lieb lattice, which, when combined with spin-orbit coupling, drives a novel spin-biased quantum spin Hall effect characterized by distinct topological edge states with unique localizations and velocities.
This paper extends the altermagnet Hamiltonian to include orbital degrees of freedom, revealing that dynamic lattice distortions and lattice anisotropy can generate controllable emergent electromagnetic fields and multipole currents, thereby uncovering a new orbital-driven transport mechanism in these materials.
This paper proposes that topological quantum critical points separating non-invertible chiral topological orders in (2+1) dimensions are described by a non-compact conformal manifold where the critical theory's topological angle is uniquely determined by the harmonic mean of the adjacent gapped phases' braiding angles, maintaining exact scale invariance without supersymmetry.
This paper demonstrates that a finite magnetization can be induced by a second-order nonlinear temperature gradient in , , and altermagnets due to their specific spin-split band structures, whereas such a response is absent in their , , and counterparts as well as in various odd-parity magnets.
This paper demonstrates that the low-symmetry van der Waals semiconductor CrPS exhibits pronounced room-temperature optical and optoelectronic anisotropy, including strong linear dichroism and polarization-sensitive photocurrents driven by Cr d-orbital transitions, establishing it as a promising platform for narrow-band polarized photodetectors and 2D spintronic devices.
This paper proposes and characterizes a new class of floating Majorana edge bands (FMEBs) in time-reversal symmetry-breaking -wave superconductors, demonstrating through theoretical modeling and simulations that these isolated counterpropagating modes exhibit robust, quantized thermal conductance signatures that distinguish them from conventional chiral phases and offer a viable route for helical-like Majorana transport in topological quantum computation.
Using pump-probe Lorentz transmission electron microscopy, researchers discovered that the photothermal recovery of magnetic order in a chiral magnet exhibits stochastic dynamics and transient blurring around topological edge dislocations, suggesting that such defects enhance stochasticity during magnetic phase transitions.
This paper presents a complete classification of 2+1D space-time groups, identifying 275 distinct space-time crystals through group cohomology, and demonstrates how their unique non-symmorphic symmetries give rise to novel physical phenomena such as chirality-selective responses and "horizontal cone" structures in spatiotemporal metamaterials.
This paper demonstrates through computer simulations and non-equilibrium Green's function calculations that an externally applied electrical bias can switch the sign of out-of-equilibrium interlayer exchange coupling in a ferromagnetic tri-layer system, particularly when strongly confined quantum well states are present, thereby enabling control over the magnetic configuration between parallel and anti-parallel states.
This paper demonstrates that propagating waves can induce a DC current in systems with spatial inversion symmetry, such as gapless graphene with next-nearest-neighbor hopping, by deriving consistent equations through both perturbation and Floquet theories while also addressing nonperturbative effects of strong wave amplitudes.
