This study reports the successful synthesis of high-quality bilayer kagome ferromagnet CoSn thin films via molecular beam epitaxy, revealing robust room-temperature ferromagnetism and a large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect driven by Berry curvature hotspots near the Fermi level.
This study demonstrates that intense circularly polarized terahertz pulses can induce a transient magnetic-like response in the diamagnetic quantum paraelectric KTaO by resonantly exciting soft polar phonons, a phenomenon experimentally verified via time-resolved Faraday rotation and supported by a quantitative theoretical model.
This study experimentally confirms that in ferrimagnetic CoHo alloys, the Holmium 4f spins demagnetize significantly slower (0.87 ps) than the Cobalt 3d spins (0.22 ps), thereby validating the proposed conditions for domain-wall-mediated all-optical toggle switching.
This paper demonstrates that while -wave altermagnetic skyrmions exhibit Hall-free motion in the absence of thermal fluctuations, finite temperatures induce a unique, anisotropic Skyrmion Hall effect driven by symmetry-dependent magnon scattering, enabling electrically controlled and thermally tunable transport.
This paper introduces ElemCo.jl, an open-source Julia package that provides a user-friendly, macro-based interface for a wide range of advanced electron-correlation methods, including unique tensor-decomposed and multireference approaches, alongside a graphical tool (JLmol) and flexible interfaces for external quantum chemistry codes.
This paper presents a systematic terahertz spectroscopy study combined with semianalytical modeling to explain the intrinsic gyrotropic optical response and giant anomalous Hall effect in the magnetic Weyl semimetal CoSnS as arising from the momentum-space separation of its Weyl nodes, while quantitatively constraining the material's physical parameters.
This paper develops a symmetry-based multi-orbital microscopic Hamiltonian for inverse Lieb lattice altermagnets, revealing that $xy$ orbitals stabilize the altermagnetic state while $xz/yz$ orbitals acquire order via Hund's coupling, ultimately uncovering topological regimes with orbital-selective edge states.
Using machine-learning interatomic potentials, this study reveals that grain-boundary segregation of group-VI elements (Cr, Mo, W) and Zr in high-entropy transition metal carbides induces interfacial premelting at temperatures significantly lower than the bulk melting point, with Cr-rich boundaries exhibiting the earliest and most extensive disordering.
This study reveals that dislocation absorption at grain boundaries can drive a conservative, diffusionless climb of disconnections through localized grain boundary phase transformations, offering a mechanism distinct from conventional vacancy-mediated processes.
This paper establishes a geometric framework linking the local structure of electronic bands and Fermi surfaces to intrinsic spin transport, demonstrating how hyperbolic regions generate spin currents and how spin operators relate to the exterior algebra of momentum space.
