Spontaneous nonreciprocal transport in a gate-tunable ferromagnetic Rashba 2-dimensional electron gas

This study demonstrates that gate-tunable ferromagnetic 2DEGs at SrTiO3_3-based interfaces exhibit spontaneous nonreciprocal transport and sign-reversible anomalous Hall effects, establishing a model platform for exploring Rashba ferromagnetism and developing active spintronic devices.

Interaction enhanced altermagnet in the Hatsugai-Kohmoto model

This paper investigates the dx2y2d_{x^2-y^2} altermagnetic Hatsugai-Kohmoto model and reveals that increasing electronic correlations drive a many-body Lifshitz transition into an "interaction-enhanced altermagnet" state characterized by full spin polarization, a correlation-dependent gap in the dynamical susceptibility, and a distinct evolution of signal intensity and static response.

Kaganov-Lifshitz-Tanatarov theory for tilted Dirac-cone materials: anisotropic heating from uniform light

The paper proposes that uniform light illumination induces anisotropic lattice heating in tilted Dirac cone materials due to direction-dependent electron-phonon relaxation, a phenomenon that can be controlled via external pressure to generate transient Seebeck effects for ultrafast sensor applications.

Open Nanoacoustic Resonators Based on SrTiO3_3/YBa2_2Cu3_3O7x_{7-x} Superlattices

This paper reports the design and experimental demonstration of an open nanophononic cavity using SrTiO3_3/YBa2_2Cu3_3O7x_{7-x} superlattices as acoustic Bragg reflectors and a Ni transducer, successfully achieving sub-THz phonon confinement and establishing complex oxide heterostructures as a platform for hybrid nano-acoustic resonators.

Hidden valley dynamics behind vanishing circular polarization in moiré excitons

This study reveals that the vanishing steady-state valley polarization in moiré excitons is not caused by rapid valley relaxation but rather by the time-integrated compensation of coexisting, helicity-opposite emission channels with distinct dynamics that can be electrically controlled.
