Phase-controlled perfect nonlocal spin and charge diode effects in a four-terminal Josephson junction with pp-wave magnets

This paper theoretically demonstrates that a four-terminal Josephson junction combining equal-spin triplet pyp_y-wave superconductors and pp-wave magnets can achieve robust, phase-controlled perfect nonlocal spin and charge diode effects with 100% nonreciprocity, offering a tunable platform for dissipationless superconducting spintronics.

Disorder-induced conducting edges on Kagomé lattice

Using a cluster extension of the coherent potential approximation, this study demonstrates that disorder-induced multiple-scattering effects on a Kagome lattice generate non-local self-energies that renormalize hopping terms to create emergent effective spin-orbit interactions, driving the system through a gapless phase with conducting edge modes between two topologically trivial insulating states.

Floquet engineering of spin-valley selective transport in jacutingaite

This paper demonstrates that irradiating the barrier of a monolayer jacutingaite tunnel junction with off-resonant circularly polarized light enables highly efficient, tunable spin-valley selective transport, achieving near-perfect valley filtering and substantial spin polarization through photon-dressed mass terms and Fabry-Pérot interference.

Intervalley Magnetotrions Tunable by Electric and Magnetic Fields in Buckled Two-Dimensional Materials

This paper presents a theoretical framework demonstrating that intervalley magnetotrions in buckled two-dimensional materials like silicene, germanene, and stanene exhibit exactly separable center-of-mass and internal motions under perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, with binding energies that increase monotonically with both fields due to magnetic confinement and electric-field-induced mass enhancement.

Visualizing flat-band spatial renormalization in rhombohedral graphene superlattices

Using scanning tunneling microscopy, this study visualizes moiré-induced spatial renormalization of flat bands in rhombohedral graphene/hBN superlattices, revealing that atomic-corrugation-driven charge redistribution creates hierarchical energy shifts that vanish below a ~10 nm moiré period, thereby establishing a critical link between moiré periodicity and the emergence of topological phases like the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect.

Beyond capillary condensation: Shear-induced bridging transitions in patterned slits

This paper investigates the equilibrium phase behavior of a fluid confined between two sheared patterned walls, revealing how the competition between capillary condensation and interface delocalization induces a rich phase diagram of shear-induced bridging transitions characterized by distinct pinning properties and large correlation lengths.
