Xingjian Zhang, Tingzhi Liu, Qicheng Zhang, Xiying Fan, Fengcheng Wu, and Chunyin Qiu

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125143 (2025) - Published 19 March, 2025

The authors propose here a universal mechanism for ultraflat bands in moiré structures and experimentally validate it in acoustic metamaterials. Unlike magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, these bands form over a broad range of twist angles, advancing moiré physics across diverse systems.

Physical properties of the ferromagnetic quantum critical system YbNi4(P1−xAsx)2

Kristin Kliemt, Jacintha Banda, Pavlo Khanenko, Ali Scherzad, Ulrike Stockert, Anna Efimenko, Kurt Kummer, Cornelius Krellner, and Manuel Brando

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125114 (2025) - Published 6 March, 2025

The heavy-fermion system YbNi4P2 is arguably the ferromagnetic (FM) metal with the lowest Curie temperature (Tc=0.17 K). It has been shown that replacing P with As tunes this system to a ferromagnetic quantum critical point (QCP) at x=0.1 As content. The authors here use the Czochralski method to grow high-quality single crystals of the series YbNi4(P1−xAsx)2 and studied their low-temperature properties. In particular, T-dependent measurements of the specific heat C(T) show that C(T)/T increases strongly towards lower T with similar power law for x= 0.1, 0.13, and 0.2. This suggests that in YbNi4(P1−xAsx)2 a FM quantum critical line rather than a FM QCP might exist.

Variational mapping of Chern bands to Landau levels: Application to fractional Chern insulators in twisted MoTe2

Bohao Li and Fengcheng Wu

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125122 (2025) - Published 10 March, 2025

Recent experimental breakthroughs have identified fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in twisted bilayer MoTe2 (tMoTe2) at zero external magnetic field. The authors propose here a variational approach to map Bloch Chern bands in tMoTe2 to generalized Landau levels. This mapping sheds light on the formation mechanism and microscopic properties of FCIs in tMoTe2, offering a pathway to apply insights from fractional quantum Hall states to study FCIs in moiré materials.

Accurate and efficient localized basis sets for two-dimensional materials

Daniel Bennett, Michele Pizzochero, Javier Junquera, and Efthimios Kaxiras

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125123 (2025) - Published 10 March, 2025

First-principles codes that use a local basis are naturally suited to simulating two-dimensional (2D) materials, offering better scaling with system size and the ability to include large vacuum regions at no additional cost. Unlike plane-wave bases which can be systematically improved, local basis sets require manual optimization. The authors develop here optimized basis sets for graphene and hexagonal boron nitride, achieving excellent agreement with plane-wave calculations at a significantly reduced computational cost. These optimized basis sets will facilitate accurate and efficient large-scale simulations of 2D materials in future research.

Average-exact mixed anomalies and compatible phases

Yichen Xu and Chao-Ming Jian

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125128 (2025) - Published 11 March, 2025

Quantum anomalies strongly constrain possible low-energy physics of condensed matter systems. In particular, it prohibits the existence of a trivially gapped phase. Here, the authors extend the notion of quantum anomalies to disordered systems, where symmetries can be preserved on average by disorder. Through physical arguments and solvable lattice models, the authors discover a series of phases intrinsic to disordered systems that are compatible with quantum anomalies involving average symmetries. These results serve as compelling evidence of the nontriviality of quantum anomalies, even with loosened requirements on symmetry and quantum coherence.

Observation of amplitude-driven nonreciprocity for energy guiding

Mathieu Padlewski, Romain Fleury, and Hervé Lissek

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125156 (2025) - Published 25 March, 2025

Imagine a tabletop composed of atoms that are nonlinearly and nonreciprocally coupled towards its center. A light tap on the surface generates typical nondispersive acoustic waves across the plane. In contrast, a hard hit triggers nonlinear nonreciprocity, directing energy towards the center, regardless of the impact location. By employing an extended Hatano-Nelson model and a highly configurable active acoustic metamaterial, the authors demonstrate here nonreciprocal systems where nonlinearities can strategically control energy guiding.

Quantum entanglement and quantum geometry measured with inelastic x-ray scattering

David Bałut, Barry Bradlyn, and Peter Abbamonte

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125161 (2025) - Published 31 March, 2025

The authors experimentally investigate here the quantum geometry and quantum information in the insulator LiF. Using sum rules for the measured density-density response, the authors compute the quantum Fisher information of LiF associated with density perturbations, and from these extrapolate a component of the quantum metric tensor. These results serve as a proof of principle that scattering techniques can quantify state-of-the-art quantum geometric quantities in materials, and establishes the quantum Fisher information as an experimentally accessible generalization of quantum geometry to real materials.

FeGe as a building block for the kagome 1:1, 1:6:6, and 1:3:5 families: Hidden d-orbital decoupling of flat band sectors, effective models, and interaction Hamiltonians

Yi Jiang, Haoyu Hu, Dumitru Călugăru, Claudia Felser, Santiago Blanco-Canosa, Hongming Weng, Yuanfeng Xu, and B. Andrei Bernevig

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125163 (2025) - Published 31 March, 2025

The authors develop here a trustworthy framework to model the electronic structure and interactions in kagome metals, starting with FeGe. By identifying symmetry-based orbital groupings, they construct minimal models that capture flat bands, von Hove singularities, and topology. Using these “LEGO-like” building blocks, they extend their approach to a wide range of kagome materials in the 1:1, 1:6:6, and 1:3:5 families, including MgFe6Ge6 and CsCr3Sb5. This framework provides realistic many-body models in order to explore interaction-driven phases in kagome and other materials.

Kuan-Chu Chen, Clement Godfrin, George Simion, Imri Fattal, Julien Jussot, Stefan Kubicek, Sofie Beyne, Bart Raes, Arne Loenders, Kuo-Hsing Kao, Danny Wan, and Kristiaan De Greve

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125301 (2025) - Published 5 March, 2025

The presence of spurious quantum dots in silicon-based spin qubit devices is a challenge for quantum system scalability. The authors use here electrostatic triangulation to statistically analyse their spatial distribution in silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (SiMOS) single-electron transistors (SETs), fabricated on an industrial 300-mm process. By combining experimental mapping with simulations, they reveal that spurious dots primarily arise from strain and gate bias effects. This insight informs device design strategies to mitigate spurious dots while preserving tunability, advancing scalable silicon-based quantum technologies.

Quantum geometry probed by chiral excitonic optical response of Chern insulators

Wen-Xuan Qiu and Fengcheng Wu

Phys. Rev. B 111, L121104 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

Quantum geometry describes phase and amplitude distances between quantum states, akin to Euclidean geometry in the classical world. The authors propose here probing the quantum geometry of Chern insulators via the excitonic optical response, using twisted bilayer MoTe2 as an example. In the terahertz frequency range, a single chiral exciton dominates the optical sum rule, enabling measurement of quantum geometry. This measurement could provide an assessment on the ideality of the quantum geometry, a key factor for realizing fractional Chern insulators.

Hall field and odd viscosity in near-hydrodynamic electron flows

Nitay Ben-Shachar, Joseph T. Johnson, Mayhar Madadi, Douglas R. Brumley, Jason Nassios, and John E. Sader

Phys. Rev. B 111, L121107 (2025) - Published 20 March, 2025

The Hall or odd viscosity governs hydrodynamic electron flows in the presence of an applied magnetic field. Here, the authors report a rigorous asymptotic theory of near-hydrodynamic electron flows and demonstrate a rarefaction effect that competes with the Hall viscosity. This resolves the discrepancy of prior hydrodynamic theories in predicting the Hall resistivity in channel flow, providing insight into the flow physics and an alternative to numerical solutions of the Boltzmann equation.

Dynamic mass generation on two-dimensional electronic hyperbolic lattices

Noble Gluscevich, Abhisek Samanta, Sourav Manna, and Bitan Roy

Phys. Rev. B 111, L121108 (2025) - Published 20 March, 2025

The authors show here that two-dimensional hyperbolic lattices can be classified as Dirac liquids, Fermi liquids, and flat bands, respectively, featuring vanishing, constant, and diverging density of states near half-filling. On such curved quantum crystals, on-site Hubbard and nearest-neighbor Coulomb repulsion stabilize antiferromagnetic and charge density wave ground states, respectively. The requisite critical couplings for these orderings decrease with the increasing curvature in hyperbolic Dirac fluids, suggesting a curvature-induced weak-coupling quantum phase transitions therein. By contrast, these two orderings develop even for infinitesimal interactions in Fermi liquids and flat-band systems.

Exploring the accuracy of the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster band gap of solids

Evgeny Moerman, Henrique Miranda, Alejandro Gallo, Andreas Irmler, Tobias Schäfer, Felix Hummel, Manuel Engel, Georg Kresse, Matthias Scheffler, and Andreas Grüneis

Phys. Rev. B 111, L121202 (2025) - Published 26 March, 2025

Calculating with controllable accuracy electronic band gaps in materials is a challenge for currently available ab initio methods. Here, the authors present a hybrid approach that combines equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory with the GW approximation to efficiently estimate band gaps for semiconductors and insulators in the thermodynamic limit. The method significantly reduces the computational cost, while showing that errors in predicted gaps correlate with the reduced single excitation character of many-electron states.

Chiral terahertz photocurrent in quantum point contact–split ring resonator coupled systems in the quantum Hall regime

Jing Huang, Jinkwan Kwoen, Yasuhiko Arakawa, Kazuhiko Hirakawa, and Kazuyuki Kuroyama

Phys. Rev. B 111, L121407 (2025) - Published 20 March, 2025

Light-matter interaction between cyclotron resonance and photons in a plasmonic resonator enables the formation of polaritons in the ultrastrong coupling regime. While optical studies are common, the authors demonstrate here electrical detection of ultrastrong coupling via terahertz-induced photocurrent through a quantum point contact and reveal the chiral behavior of the photocurrent with respect to magnetic field. Their theoretical model based on nonequilibrium electron distribution in edge channels agrees well with the experimental data, which offers new insights into light-matter interactions.

Imagine a tabletop composed of atoms that are nonlinearly and nonreciprocally coupled towards its center. A light tap on the surface generates typical nondispersive acoustic waves across the plane. In contrast, a hard hit triggers nonlinear nonreciprocity, directing energy towards the center, regardless of the impact location. By employing an extended Hatano-Nelson model and a highly configurable active acoustic metamaterial, the authors demonstrate here nonreciprocal systems where nonlinearities can strategically control energy guiding.

The authors experimentally investigate here the quantum geometry and quantum information in the insulator LiF. Using sum rules for the measured density-density response, the authors compute the quantum Fisher information of LiF associated with density perturbations, and from these extrapolate a component of the quantum metric tensor. These results serve as a proof of principle that scattering techniques can quantify state-of-the-art quantum geometric quantities in materials, and establishes the quantum Fisher information as an experimentally accessible generalization of quantum geometry to real materials.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125163 (2025) - Published 31 March, 2025

The authors develop here a trustworthy framework to model the electronic structure and interactions in kagome metals, starting with FeGe. By identifying symmetry-based orbital groupings, they construct minimal models that capture flat bands, von Hove singularities, and topology. Using these “LEGO-like” building blocks, they extend their approach to a wide range of kagome materials in the 1:1, 1:6:6, and 1:3:5 families, including MgFe6Ge6 and CsCr3Sb5. This framework provides realistic many-body models in order to explore interaction-driven phases in kagome and other materials.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 125301 (2025) - Published 5 March, 2025

The presence of spurious quantum dots in silicon-based spin qubit devices is a challenge for quantum system scalability. The authors use here electrostatic triangulation to statistically analyse their spatial distribution in silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor (SiMOS) single-electron transistors (SETs), fabricated on an industrial 300-mm process. By combining experimental mapping with simulations, they reveal that spurious dots primarily arise from strain and gate bias effects. This insight informs device design strategies to mitigate spurious dots while preserving tunability, advancing scalable silicon-based quantum technologies.
