Surface acoustic wave direction sensing enabled by resonant mode interference in a single micropillar resonator

Taehwa Lee, Hyung-Suk Kwon, Xiaopeng Li, Ziqi Yu, Taishi Kimura, Yukihiro Tadokoro, and Hideo Iizuka

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174101 (2025) - Published 6 May, 2025

A single micropillar resonator can detect the direction of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) by harnessing interference between distinct vibrational modes. Here, the authors demonstrate how this compact design enables robust directional sensing, offering a scalable solution for SAW-based diagnostics in compact devices and laying the groundwork for future integration with quantum acoustic systems.

Strong-to-weak spontaneous symmetry breaking and average symmetry protected topological order in the doubled Hilbert space

Yoshihito Kuno, Takahiro Orito, and Ikuo Ichinose

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174110 (2025) - Published 15 May, 2025

There are two kinds of symmetries in quantum mixed states (QMSs) – called strong and weak symmetries– and studying their spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) pattern helps classify QMSs, which is an ongoing important issue. The authors study here a decohered cluster model with Z2⊗Z2 symmetry and uncover two kinds of symmetry-protected topological (SPT) mixed states. Using doubled Hilbert formalism, they demonstrate a transition between the two states, named strong and double average SPT states, where the latter features coexisting SPT and SSB.

Symmetry-induced enhancement of transmission through a disordered system

A. O. Flegontov and D. B. Rogozkin

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174205 (2025) - Published 20 May, 2025

The authors show here that the transmission of a slab-barrier-slab system with mirror-symmetric disorder is controlled by the barrier transparency renormalized due to the interference of waves propagating along symmetrical paths. A transport equation is derived for the correlation function of these waves, which is a tool for taking into account the disorder symmetry breaking and describing the crossover between exact and broken symmetry. The developed formalism enables explaining all aspects of the enhanced transmission effect has found previously in full wave numerical simulations.

Edge modes and boundary impurities in the anisotropic Heisenberg spin chain

Pradip Kattel, Parameshwar R. Pasnoori, J. H. Pixley, and Natan Andrei

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174430 (2025) - Published 19 May, 2025

The authors study here boundary phenomena in a gapped anisotropic Heisenberg spin chain, revealing a rich phase diagram from the interplay of fractionalized spin-¼ edge modes and a spin-½ impurity. The study uncovers distinct Kondo and bound mode phases, and a novel phase with midgap excitations for nonintegrable antiferromagnetic coupling, providing new insights into impurity screening and Kondo effects. Surprisingly, impurity screening can occur with nonintegrable ferromagnetic coupling, while the impurity remains unscreened for integrable ferromagnetic coupling.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174432 (2025) - Published 19 May, 2025

The RT6X6 structural family, featuring kagome networks, provides an exciting platform to investigate the interplay of topology, electron correlations, and magnetism. Incorporating uranium can lead to intricate magnetic and electronic behavior, driven by strong spin-orbit coupling and the dual (localized/delocalized) character of the uranium 5f electrons. The authors discover and investigate here the recent member UV6Sn6, revealing an incommensurate to commensurate antiferromagnetic ordering as well as a superstructure. This compound behaves as a weakly correlated metal, based on resistivity and heat capacity measurements.

Phonon and magnon dynamics across the antiferromagnetic transition in the two-dimensional layered van der Waals material CrSBr

E. Uykur, A. A. Tsirlin, F. Long, M. Wenzel, M. Dressel, K. Mosina, Z. Sofer, M. Helm, and S. Zhou

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174434 (2025) - Published 20 May, 2025

The authors conduct here an infrared spectroscopy study on CrSBr, an air-stable two-dimensional van der Waals magnet. The findings indicate that CrSBr behaves as a polar dielectric crystal, with its reststrahlen bands lying in the THz gap region. The temperature-dependent phonon and magnon dynamics of CrSBr reveal a gradual hardening of the phonon modes and interplay of the b-axis transverse mode with magnetic degrees of freedom. In addition, an optical magnon mode is identified, which provides information on the temperature-dependent magnon population.

Local signatures of altermagnetism

Jannik Gondolf, Andreas Kreisel, Mercè Roig, Yue Yu, Daniel F. Agterberg, and Brian M. Andersen

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174436 (2025) - Published 21 May, 2025

Studying altermagnets experimentally is challenging, especially when their macroscopic properties, such as spin-split bands and spin currents, average out due to domain structures. The authors demonstrate here how nonmagnetic impurities can serve as local probes to reveal the altermagnetic order. Impurities imprint a distinct signature on the local density of states that reflects the underlying momentum structure of the altermagnet, such as d-wave or g-wave. In proximity to a superconductor, these effects can be enhanced at bound states inside the superconducting gap.

Majorana modes in quantum dots coupled via a floating superconducting island

Rubén Seoane Souto, Virgil V. Baran, Maximilian Nitsch, Lorenzo Maffi, Jens Paaske, Martin Leijnse, and Michele Burrello

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174501 (2025) - Published 1 May, 2025

The authors investigate here Majorana modes in quantum dots, coupled via a floating superconducting island with charging energy. They identify Majorana sweet spots away from charge-degeneracy points. This finding opens routes for engineering interacting topological devices based on hybrid quantum dot–superconductor platforms that can reveal unique Majorana properties, including electron teleportation and topological Kondo effect.

Percolative supercurrent in superconductor–ferromagnetic insulator bilayers

A. Maiani, A. C. C. Drachmann, L. Galletti, C. Schrade, Y. Liu, R. Seoane Souto, and S. Vaitiekėnas

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174509 (2025) - Published 8 May, 2025

The competing interplay between superconductivity and magnetism can lead to the emergence of intriguing phases of matter. Here, researchers explore thin layers of superconducting aluminum and magnetic-insulator europium sulfide, revealing that supercurrents survive even as spin splitting overcome the paramagnetic limit. The supercurrent weaves through the material, following paths shaped by magnetic textures. These results open new directions for understanding superconductivity in complex magnetic landscapes and for designing next-generation quantum devices.

Role of superconducting fitness in pairing from fluctuating order

Yufei Zhu and P. M. R. Brydon

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174511 (2025) - Published 9 May, 2025

Unconventional superconductivity is often observed near other ordered states. Although fluctuations of the ordered state are believed to mediate a pairing interaction, a general principle relating the ordered state to the pairing symmetry is lacking. Here, the authors analyze the pairing interaction from a general fluctuating order and develop a simple heuristic test to determine whether a given pairing channel is attractive or repulsive. This is based on a well-known measure of the compatibility of the ordered and pairing states.

Geometric and conventional contributions of superconducting diode effect: Application to flat-band systems

Jin-Xin Hu, Shuai A. Chen, and K. T. Law

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174513 (2025) - Published 12 May, 2025

The authors investigate here the conventional and quantum geometric origins of superconducting nonreciprocity and explore their implications for flat-band superconductors. They show that, while the conventional effect stems from an asymmetric Fermi surface, the quantum metric dipole generates a band-geometric contribution to the superconducting diode effect—even in systems with symmetric single-particle band dispersion.

First-principles studies on superconductivity in quintuple-layer M2X3 (M=Nb, Ta; X=S, Se)

Su-Tao Sun, Jia-Zhen Chen, Y. B. Chen, and Jian Zhou

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174529 (2025) - Published 27 May, 2025

The authors investigate here electron-phonon coupling and superconductivity in newly synthesized two-dimensional quintuple-layer M2X3 (M=Nb, Ta; X= S, Se) using first-principles calculations. These materials are thermally and dynamically stable and exhibit semimetallic properties. The calculated superconducting transition temperatures are approximately 4.4, 2.0, 2.4, and 0.1 K for Nb2S3, Nb2Se3, Ta2S3, and Ta2Se3, respectively, showing an inverse trend with their atomic mass. This study provides a foundation for further theoretical and experimental research on these promising superconductors.

The authors conduct here an infrared spectroscopy study on CrSBr, an air-stable two-dimensional van der Waals magnet. The findings indicate that CrSBr behaves as a polar dielectric crystal, with its reststrahlen bands lying in the THz gap region. The temperature-dependent phonon and magnon dynamics of CrSBr reveal a gradual hardening of the phonon modes and interplay of the b-axis transverse mode with magnetic degrees of freedom. In addition, an optical magnon mode is identified, which provides information on the temperature-dependent magnon population.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174436 (2025) - Published 21 May, 2025

Studying altermagnets experimentally is challenging, especially when their macroscopic properties, such as spin-split bands and spin currents, average out due to domain structures. The authors demonstrate here how nonmagnetic impurities can serve as local probes to reveal the altermagnetic order. Impurities imprint a distinct signature on the local density of states that reflects the underlying momentum structure of the altermagnet, such as d-wave or g-wave. In proximity to a superconductor, these effects can be enhanced at bound states inside the superconducting gap.

The competing interplay between superconductivity and magnetism can lead to the emergence of intriguing phases of matter. Here, researchers explore thin layers of superconducting aluminum and magnetic-insulator europium sulfide, revealing that supercurrents survive even as spin splitting overcome the paramagnetic limit. The supercurrent weaves through the material, following paths shaped by magnetic textures. These results open new directions for understanding superconductivity in complex magnetic landscapes and for designing next-generation quantum devices.

Role of superconducting fitness in pairing from fluctuating order

Phys. Rev. B 111, 174511 (2025) - Published 9 May, 2025

Unconventional superconductivity is often observed near other ordered states. Although fluctuations of the ordered state are believed to mediate a pairing interaction, a general principle relating the ordered state to the pairing symmetry is lacking. Here, the authors analyze the pairing interaction from a general fluctuating order and develop a simple heuristic test to determine whether a given pairing channel is attractive or repulsive. This is based on a well-known measure of the compatibility of the ordered and pairing states.

The authors investigate here the conventional and quantum geometric origins of superconducting nonreciprocity and explore their implications for flat-band superconductors. They show that, while the conventional effect stems from an asymmetric Fermi surface, the quantum metric dipole generates a band-geometric contribution to the superconducting diode effect—even in systems with symmetric single-particle band dispersion.

The authors investigate here electron-phonon coupling and superconductivity in newly synthesized two-dimensional quintuple-layer M2X3 (M=Nb, Ta; X= S, Se) using first-principles calculations. These materials are thermally and dynamically stable and exhibit semimetallic properties. The calculated superconducting transition temperatures are approximately 4.4, 2.0, 2.4, and 0.1 K for Nb2S3, Nb2Se3, Ta2S3, and Ta2Se3, respectively, showing an inverse trend with their atomic mass. This study provides a foundation for further theoretical and experimental research on these promising superconductors.
