Condensed matter physics and materials science form a dynamic partnership, exploring how the collective behavior of atoms gives rise to the unique properties of solids and liquids. This field bridges the gap between fundamental quantum mechanics and the practical engineering of everything from flexible electronics to superconductors, turning abstract theories into tangible innovations that shape our daily lives.

Below are the latest papers in condensed matter and materials science, organized by their most recent publication dates.
This study presents a high-throughput screening of the MAGNDATA database using symmetry analysis and DFT calculations to identify 173 altermagnetic candidates with significant momentum-dependent spin splitting, while revealing that maximal splitting often occurs away from high-symmetry paths to guide future experimental characterization.
This paper establishes a diagrammatic mapping between fermionic polarizations in the single-boson exchange formalism and bosonic self-energies, thereby validating the identification of screened interactions as bosonic propagators, recovering trace log theory under specific approximations, and clarifying how parquet approaches enforce the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem.
This study reveals that twisted bilayer MoTe hosts an intervalley superconducting phase emerging from a non-Abelian fractional spin Hall insulator, driven by the condensation of charge- non-Abelian anyons and supported by both exact diagonalization and field-theoretic analyses.
Using microwave spectroscopy on a high-quality ferromagnet, researchers observed an unexpected Fano resonance that reveals the existence of long-lifetime magnon pairs through their coherent coupling with Kittel magnons via three-magnon interactions.
This study establishes RuO as a weakly correlated Fermi liquid by revealing a previously undetected quadratic temperature dependence in its electric resistivity that follows Kadowaki-Woods scaling, while thermal transport measurements show a deviation from the Wiedemann-Franz law at finite temperatures, providing critical data for first-principles theories of electron-electron scattering in metallic oxides.
This paper reviews recent progress and presents original results on applying quantum geometry, including Zeeman and information geometries, to -wave magnets () to derive universal analytic formulas for their anomalous transport, magneto-optical, and oscillation phenomena.
This study employs first-principles calculations to comprehensively characterize carbon self-interstitial defects in diamond from mono- to hexa-interstitials, revealing a strong energetic drive for aggregation into stable clusters like tetra-interstitial platelets, identifying specific electronic and vibrational signatures that distinguish inert from active defects, and proposing structural origins for the 3H and TR12 experimental centers.
This study utilizes kinetic Monte Carlo simulations and analytical modeling to demonstrate that while radiation-induced chromium segregation in Fe-Cr alloys exhibits a linear dependence on sink density for planar (1D, 2D, and 3D) sinks, spherical sinks display a more complex, non-linear relationship influenced by sink dimensionality and morphology.
This study reveals that applying hydrostatic pressure to the frustrated heavy-fermion antiferromagnet CePdIn induces a non-monotonic evolution of its magnetic transition temperature and a distinct phase transition near 2.6 GPa, suggesting that enhanced Kondo hybridization drives a change in the underlying electronic structure between two different antiferromagnetic phases.
This paper introduces a new class of coplanar antiferromagnets that exhibit parity and time-reversal invariant Ising spin ordering, demonstrating that their spin-rotational symmetry breaking enables unique non-relativistic spin transport phenomena and tunable spin splittings, with sixteen candidate materials identified to validate these emergent responses.
