Magnetic and electrical transport properties of the single-crystalline half-Heusler antiferromagnet DyNiSb

High-quality single-crystalline DyNiSb exhibits two distinct magnetic transitions and metallic conductivity, contrasting with previous polycrystalline reports, while displaying complex magnetotransport behavior including weak antilocalization and a field-induced Fermi surface reconstruction.

Heavy-Fermion Behavior and a Tunable Density Wave in a Novel Vanadium-based Mosaic Lattice

The study reports the discovery of Cs3V9V9Te13, a novel intermetallic compound featuring a unique vanadium mosaic lattice that exhibits heavy-fermion behavior and a tunable density-wave transition, which can be suppressed via chemical pressure to reveal a quantum-disordered semiconducting state.

The giant anomalous Hall and Nernst effects in Kagome permanent magnets RCo5

This study employs first-principles calculations to predict that Kagome-structured RCo5 permanent magnets, particularly CeCo5 and GdCo5, exhibit giant anomalous Hall and Nernst effects driven by Berry curvature hotspots near spin-orbit coupling-induced band gaps, positioning them as promising platforms for next-generation spintronic and thermoelectric applications.

Collapse of Jahn-Teller Phonons in La1x_{1-x}Srx_{x}MnO3_3 with Weak Magnetoresistance

High-resolution neutron scattering and DFT studies on La1x_{1-x}Srx_{x}MnO3_3 reveal that despite weak magnetoresistance, Jahn-Teller-active oxygen vibrations collapse above the Curie temperature due to giant electron-phonon coupling driving diffusive oxygen distortions, suggesting that the magnitude of magnetoresistance correlates with the rate of this diffusion rather than the strength of the coupling itself.

Interaction-driven flat band and charge order in Fe5GeTe2

This study demonstrates that in the van der Waals magnet Fe5GeTe2, strong electronic correlations drive the formation of a flat band at the Fermi level, which in turn induces a 3×3R30\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}\,R30^\circ charge order, establishing a paradigm where interaction-driven flat bands promote large-scale electronic ordering.

Terahertz-nanoscale visualization of the microscopic spin-charge architecture of colossal magnetoresistive switching

This study utilizes a custom-built cryogenic magneto-THz scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy platform to visualize the nanoscale evolution of colossal magnetoresistance in Pr2/3Ca1/3MnO3\text{Pr}_{2/3}\text{Ca}_{1/3}\text{MnO}_{3}, revealing that magnetic-field-induced spin switching initiates as 1–2 nm isolated sites that coalesce into ~15 nm conducting regions during the transition from an antiferromagnetic insulator to a ferromagnetic metal.

Pressure-Induced Metal-Insulator and Paramagnet-Altermagnet Transitions in Rutile OsO2 Single Crystals

By synthesizing high-quality rutile OsO2 single crystals, researchers discovered that while the material is initially a paramagnetic metal, applying high pressure (44 GPa) induces a metal-insulator transition and drives a phase change into an altermagnetic state, demonstrating that external pressure can effectively tune its magnetic ground state.

Hybrid quantum-classical matrix-product state and Lanczos methods for electron-phonon systems with strong electronic correlations: Application to disordered systems coupled to Einstein phonons

This paper introduces and benchmarks two hybrid quantum-classical methods combining time-dependent Lanczos and matrix-product state approaches with the multi-trajectory Ehrenfest approximation to simulate electron-phonon systems, demonstrating that coupling strongly disordered interacting fermions to classical Einstein phonons induces delocalization and destabilizes many-body localization.

Fractional Topological Phases, Flat Bands, and Robust Edge States on Finite Cyclic Graphs via Single-Coin Split-Step Quantum Walks

This paper reports the first realization of fractional topological phases, characterized by ±12\pm \frac{1}{2} winding numbers and robust edge states, in a fully unitary, noninteracting single-coin split-step quantum walk on finite cyclic graphs, demonstrating how step-dependent protocols enable the engineering of flat bands and unconventional bulk-boundary correspondence in small-scale synthetic quantum systems.
