Kinetic control of high pressure phase transitions in anatase TiO2

XiaoHui Chen, Yi Zhang, Lei Liu, Shijia Ye, Shourui Li, Qiumin Jing, Junjie Gao, Jun Li, Qiang Wu, Hao Wang, and Chuanlong Lin

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104108 (2025) - Published 13 March, 2025

This work elucidates the kinetic control of high-pressure phase transitions in anatase TiO2 using a dynamic diamond anvil cell and time-resolved Raman spectroscopy. The authors demonstrate that phase boundaries shift linearly with the logarithm of compression rate, resolving discrepancies in previous studies. By revealing compression rate as a critical dimension in phase diagrams for sluggish reconstructive transitions, this work advances understanding of non-equilibrium high-pressure synthesis and metastable phase engineering, offering practical insights for material design.

Electronic doping induced increase in coercive field of sliding ferroelectric 1T′-ReS2 multilayers

Mingyan Liu, Yi Wan, Pei Wang, Xiaodong Zhang, Yunwei Yang, Yibin Zhao, Hualing Zeng, Fang Wu, Chengxi Huang, Ting Hu, and Erjun Kan

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104110 (2025) - Published 20 March, 2025

The authors reveal here that sliding ferroelectrics display a distinct doping-dependent coercive field behavior, diverging from conventional displacement-type ferroelectrics. Employing 1T′-ReS2 multilayers, they demonstrate that sulfur vacancy density – controlled through annealing atmosphere – directly regulates charge doping, amplifying the coercive field by as much as 870 kV/cm with increased vacancy concentration. Combined experimental and theoretical analyses reveal that increased vacancy densities elevate the energy barrier for polarization switching. This study highlights the unique mechanistic framework of sliding ferroelectrics and proposes innovative strategies for their integration into next-generation electronic technologies.

Layer Nernst and thermal Hall effects in two-dimensional antiferromagnets

Xiangju Wang, Ling Bai, Wanxiang Feng, and Yugui Yao

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104405 (2025) - Published 4 March, 2025

In two-dimensional layered antiferromagnets, an out-of-plane electric field (ℰ) breaks the band spin degeneracy, inducing opposite spin polarizations in different layers due to spin-layer coupling. When an in-plane longitudinal temperature gradient (∇T) is applied, charge and heat currents in the top (Jt and JtQ) and bottom (Jb and JbQ) layers flow transversely in opposite directions with different magnitudes. This gives rise to net transverse charge and heat currents, referred to as the layer Nernst and layer thermal Hall effects, respectively.

Large magnetoresistance in a quantum dot between two reservoirs with spin accumulation

R. Jansen and S. Yuasa

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104407 (2025) - Published 5 March, 2025

Devices with ferromagnetic contacts exhibit magnetoresistance that is limited by the finite-contact spin polarization. Here, a quantum dot connected to source and drain reservoirs with spin accumulation is shown to exhibit a million-fold magnetoresistance. For parallel spin accumulations, the current vanishes due to Pauli spin blockade. Charge flows freely for antiparallel spin accumulations. The device, a spin qubit transistor, can operate as a spin transistor but also as a spin qubit by reconfiguring the source-drain bias and gate voltage.

Quantum spin liquid ground state in the rare-earth triangular antiferromagnet SmTa7O19

Dhanpal Bairwa, Abhisek Bandyopadhyay, Devashibhai Adroja, G. B. G. Stenning, Hubertus Luetkens, Thomas James Hicken, Jonas A. Krieger, G. Cibin, M. Rotter, S. Rayaprol, P. D. Babu, and Suja Elizabeth

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104413 (2025) - Published 7 March, 2025

A quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter that hosts long-range quantum entanglement, absence of magnetic ordering, and exotic fractionalized quasiparticle excitations. The geometrically frustrated magnets promote strong quantum fluctuations at low-T, which offer an excellent route to stabilize the QSL phase. Here, the authors demonstrate a gapless QSL ground state of the triangular lattice antiferromagnet Sm-heptatantalate SmTa7O19 through combined dc and ac magnetization, specific heat, universal scaling analysis, and muon spin relaxation/rotation (μSR) study down to 30 mK. The zero-field μSR discards magnetic ordering transition, while the longitudinal field muon-decoupling measurements show the emphasis of the dynamic nature of the magnetic ground state.

Muon spectroscopy investigation of anomalous dynamic magnetism in NiI2

T. L. Breeze, B. M. Huddart, A. Hernández-Melián, N. P. Bentley, D. A. Mayoh, G. D. A. Wood, G. Balakrishnan, J. Wilkinson, F. L. Pratt, T. J. Hicken, S. J. Clark, and T. Lancaster

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104420 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

NiI2 is a magnetic van der Waals material, noted for its multiferroic behaviour, which has recently been proposed to host a novel form of skyrmion phase in the 2D limit. The authors present here the results of muon spectroscopy (μ+SR) measurements with supporting density functional theory calculations that probe changes in dynamics around two magnetic phase transitions. The measurements reveal an unusual region of temperature-independent fluctuations in the intermediate phase, the onset of which is driven by a change in the material’s structural symmetry.

Competing ordinary and Hanle magnetoresistance in Pt and Ti thin films

Sebastian Sailler, Giacomo Sala, Denise Reustlen, Richard Schlitz, Min-Gu Kang, Pietro Gambardella, Sebastian T. B. Goennenwein, and Michaela Lammel

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104421 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

The Hanle magnetoresistance (MR) can be utilized to probe the spin and orbital Hall activity of materials, such as Pt and Ti. However, isolating the Hanle MR from the ordinary MR is challenging as they coexist. The authors find here that high-resistance, low-crystallinity samples show a MR dominated by the Hanle MR, while more crystalline, low-resistance samples exhibit the ordinary MR. The Hanle MR’s strong dependence on crystallinity exceeds established scaling relations and is universal for both spin and orbital effects.

Magnetoelectric imprint of skyrmions in van der Waals bilayers

Zhong Shen, Xiaoyan Yao, and Shuai Dong

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104422 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

To effectively track and manipulate topological solitons, e.g.., skyrmions, is a key challenge before their application. Here, the authors propose a general strategy to print magnetic skyrmions to electric skyrmions in van der Waals bilayers. Through proximate interactions, there is an isoperiodic bijection between local dipoles and spin moments. This magnetoelectric imprint effect not only extends the strategies to create electric skyrmions, but also provides an approach for all-electrical readout/manipulation of magnetic skyrmions.

Magnetic and quadrupole coupling emerging in NdB4 with geometrically frustrated orthogonal antiferromagnetic dimer

Naoto Metoki, Hiroki Yamauchi, Masato Hagihala, Ryuta Watanuki, Seiko Kawamura, Maiko Kofu, Kenji Nakajima, and Masaaki Matsuda

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104424 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

NdB4, under geometrical frustration with the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, shows unusual magnetic successive order with an induced magnetic c moment (mc). This induced mc is very small but increases very steeply with decreasing temperature. The f-electron states are clarified here from neutron scattering spectra, reproduced using a model Hamiltonian. The magnetic-quadrupole coupling is revealed to play an essential role. Usually, negligible interactions have a casting vote for the unusual ordered states under geometrical frustration, where strong Heisenberg interactions are canceled out.

Structural and magnetic properties of CoTeMoO6

Yu Li, Jared Coles, Xin Gui, Hyowon Park, Yan Wu, Xinglong Chen, Jing-han Chen, Xiaoping Wang, Huibo Cao, Shane Stadler, Omar Chmaissem, David P. Young, Stephan Rosenkranz, and John F. DiTusa

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104434 (2025) - Published 27 March, 2025

The coexistence of helical structural motifs with 21 screw axes and orthorhombic unit cell in CoTeMoO6 allows for subtle tunability under external uniaxial pressure, significantly affecting its magnetic and optical properties. The study here uncovers the presence of structural and magnetic domains, along with their intrinsic anisotropy. These findings highlight a complex interplay among structural, magnetic, and optical degrees of freedom, suggesting potential ferroic behavior.

Phase-dependent supercurrent and microwave dissipation of HgTe quantum well Josephson junctions

Wei Liu, Stanislau U. Piatrusha, Lena Fürst, Lukas Lunczer, Tatiana Borzenko, Martin P. Stehno, and Laurens W. Molenkamp

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104503 (2025) - Published 6 March, 2025

Future applications of semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures in quantum information science rely on careful engineering of proximity-induced quantum states. The authors apply here microwave admittance measurements to extract the current-phase relation and phase-dependent microwave dissipation in gated HgTe quantum well Josephson junctions. The experimental results are in good agreement with modeling of the Andreev bound state spectrum based on tight-binding simulations of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations. This allows to disentangle the effects of interface transparency, disorder, and magnitude of the superconducting energy gap.

Green's function approach to Josephson dot dynamics and application to quantum Mpemba effects

Kateryna Zatsarynna, Andrea Nava, Reinhold Egger, and Alex Zazunov

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104506 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

The authors present here a novel Green’s function approach to general quantum transport problems. This formalism is considerably simpler than a full-fledged Keldysh approach. The authors apply their approach to a study of the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum dot Josephson junctions, exposed to an electromagnetic environment. Following a sudden quench of the average phase difference across the junction, two different types of quantum Mpemba effects are predicted to arise in these experimentally accessible open quantum systems over wide parameter regimes.

Ghost Josephson plasmon in bilayer superconductors

Niccolò Sellati and Lara Benfatto

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104509 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

This work provides a physical explanation for the existence of a “ghost” plasmon in bilayer superconductors. The authors show that one of the two Josephson plasmons is connected to counterflowing current fluctuations polarized perpendicularly to the planes. This effect makes it a transverse mode at small out-of-plane momenta, explaining why it is hidden in the density response. This work offers a new perspective on the understanding of collective excitations in systems with multiple intertwined degrees of freedom.

Temporal chirp, temporal lensing, and temporal routing via space-time interfaces

Victor Pacheco-Peña, Mathias Fink, and Nader Engheta

Phys. Rev. B 111, L100306 (2025) - Published 31 March, 2025

Here, the authors propose photonic time interfaces (rapid modulations of the permittivity of the medium where the wave travels) to induce/create spatial interfaces, that is, space-time interfaces. They explore perpendicular, parallel, and oblique spatial interfaces created in time. In so doing, they show how such space-time metamaterials can be seen as the generalization of Snell’s law in four dimensions (x,y,z,t). Applications such as temporal chirp, lensing, and routing are then proposed as examples.

Fractionalization signatures in the dynamics of quantum spin liquids

Kang Wang, Shi Feng, Penghao Zhu, Runze Chi, Hai-Jun Liao, Nandini Trivedi, and Tao Xiang

Phys. Rev. B 111, L100402 (2025) - Published 10 March, 2025

The authors investigate dynamical signatures of fractionalization in the Kitaev honeycomb model under an out-of-plane magnetic field using advanced tensor network methods. By analyzing spin-spin and dimer-dimer correlations through the infinite Projected Entangled Pair States (iPEPS) simulations, they demonstrate distinct spectral features separating Majorana fermions from Z₂ flux excitations in the chiral spin liquid phase. Crucially, they identify the controversial intermediate phase as a gapless Majorana metal driven by strong flux fluctuations, characterized by logarithmic divergence in the low-energy density of states. This resolves a longstanding debate about the regime in question.

Spin-polarized specular Andreev reflections in altermagnets

Yutaro Nagae, Andreas P. Schnyder, and Satoshi Ikegaya

Phys. Rev. B 111, L100507 (2025) - Published 27 March, 2025

The authors theoretically show here that the characteristic spin-split bands of altermagnets give rise to distinctive spin polarized specular Andreev reflections at altermagnet–superconductor interfaces. By utilizing this feature, they propose a device that integrates the functions of both a Cooper pair splitter and a spin beam splitter, thereby creating energy entangled electron pairs. The positive nonlocal conductance and the positive noise cross-correlation are unambiguous signatures of specular Andreev reflections in the proposed device.

Layer Nernst and thermal Hall effects in two-dimensional antiferromagnets

Xiangju Wang, Ling Bai, Wanxiang Feng, and Yugui Yao

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104405 (2025) - Published 4 March, 2025

In two-dimensional layered antiferromagnets, an out-of-plane electric field (ℰ) breaks the band spin degeneracy, inducing opposite spin polarizations in different layers due to spin-layer coupling. When an in-plane longitudinal temperature gradient (∇T) is applied, charge and heat currents in the top (Jt and JtQ) and bottom (Jb and JbQ) layers flow transversely in opposite directions with different magnitudes. This gives rise to net transverse charge and heat currents, referred to as the layer Nernst and layer thermal Hall effects, respectively.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104407 (2025) - Published 5 March, 2025

Devices with ferromagnetic contacts exhibit magnetoresistance that is limited by the finite-contact spin polarization. Here, a quantum dot connected to source and drain reservoirs with spin accumulation is shown to exhibit a million-fold magnetoresistance. For parallel spin accumulations, the current vanishes due to Pauli spin blockade. Charge flows freely for antiparallel spin accumulations. The device, a spin qubit transistor, can operate as a spin transistor but also as a spin qubit by reconfiguring the source-drain bias and gate voltage.

A quantum spin liquid (QSL) is a novel state of matter that hosts long-range quantum entanglement, absence of magnetic ordering, and exotic fractionalized quasiparticle excitations. The geometrically frustrated magnets promote strong quantum fluctuations at low-T, which offer an excellent route to stabilize the QSL phase. Here, the authors demonstrate a gapless QSL ground state of the triangular lattice antiferromagnet Sm-heptatantalate SmTa7O19 through combined dc and ac magnetization, specific heat, universal scaling analysis, and muon spin relaxation/rotation (μSR) study down to 30 mK. The zero-field μSR discards magnetic ordering transition, while the longitudinal field muon-decoupling measurements show the emphasis of the dynamic nature of the magnetic ground state.

NiI2 is a magnetic van der Waals material, noted for its multiferroic behaviour, which has recently been proposed to host a novel form of skyrmion phase in the 2D limit. The authors present here the results of muon spectroscopy (μ+SR) measurements with supporting density functional theory calculations that probe changes in dynamics around two magnetic phase transitions. The measurements reveal an unusual region of temperature-independent fluctuations in the intermediate phase, the onset of which is driven by a change in the material’s structural symmetry.

Competing ordinary and Hanle magnetoresistance in Pt and Ti thin films

The Hanle magnetoresistance (MR) can be utilized to probe the spin and orbital Hall activity of materials, such as Pt and Ti. However, isolating the Hanle MR from the ordinary MR is challenging as they coexist. The authors find here that high-resistance, low-crystallinity samples show a MR dominated by the Hanle MR, while more crystalline, low-resistance samples exhibit the ordinary MR. The Hanle MR’s strong dependence on crystallinity exceeds established scaling relations and is universal for both spin and orbital effects.

Magnetoelectric imprint of skyrmions in van der Waals bilayers

Zhong Shen, Xiaoyan Yao, and Shuai Dong

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104422 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

To effectively track and manipulate topological solitons, e.g.., skyrmions, is a key challenge before their application. Here, the authors propose a general strategy to print magnetic skyrmions to electric skyrmions in van der Waals bilayers. Through proximate interactions, there is an isoperiodic bijection between local dipoles and spin moments. This magnetoelectric imprint effect not only extends the strategies to create electric skyrmions, but also provides an approach for all-electrical readout/manipulation of magnetic skyrmions.

NdB4, under geometrical frustration with the Shastry-Sutherland lattice, shows unusual magnetic successive order with an induced magnetic c moment (mc). This induced mc is very small but increases very steeply with decreasing temperature. The f-electron states are clarified here from neutron scattering spectra, reproduced using a model Hamiltonian. The magnetic-quadrupole coupling is revealed to play an essential role. Usually, negligible interactions have a casting vote for the unusual ordered states under geometrical frustration, where strong Heisenberg interactions are canceled out.

The coexistence of helical structural motifs with 21 screw axes and orthorhombic unit cell in CoTeMoO6 allows for subtle tunability under external uniaxial pressure, significantly affecting its magnetic and optical properties. The study here uncovers the presence of structural and magnetic domains, along with their intrinsic anisotropy. These findings highlight a complex interplay among structural, magnetic, and optical degrees of freedom, suggesting potential ferroic behavior.

Future applications of semiconductor-superconductor heterostructures in quantum information science rely on careful engineering of proximity-induced quantum states. The authors apply here microwave admittance measurements to extract the current-phase relation and phase-dependent microwave dissipation in gated HgTe quantum well Josephson junctions. The experimental results are in good agreement with modeling of the Andreev bound state spectrum based on tight-binding simulations of the Bogoliubov–de Gennes equations. This allows to disentangle the effects of interface transparency, disorder, and magnitude of the superconducting energy gap.

The authors present here a novel Green’s function approach to general quantum transport problems. This formalism is considerably simpler than a full-fledged Keldysh approach. The authors apply their approach to a study of the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum dot Josephson junctions, exposed to an electromagnetic environment. Following a sudden quench of the average phase difference across the junction, two different types of quantum Mpemba effects are predicted to arise in these experimentally accessible open quantum systems over wide parameter regimes.

Ghost Josephson plasmon in bilayer superconductors

Phys. Rev. B 111, 104509 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

This work provides a physical explanation for the existence of a “ghost” plasmon in bilayer superconductors. The authors show that one of the two Josephson plasmons is connected to counterflowing current fluctuations polarized perpendicularly to the planes. This effect makes it a transverse mode at small out-of-plane momenta, explaining why it is hidden in the density response. This work offers a new perspective on the understanding of collective excitations in systems with multiple intertwined degrees of freedom.
