Shock compression of liquid neon: Experiments, theory, and models

Chad A. McCoy, Seth Root, Kyle R. Cochrane, John H. Carpenter, Jacob T. Banasek, David E. Bliss, and Raymond W. Lemke

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184111 (2025) - Published 29 May, 2025

Comparison between experiment and theory is valuable for furthering understanding of materials at extreme conditions and providing benchmarking to support calculations of novel materials. Using a novel design that maximizes data return for laser-driven shock experiments and previously demonstrated techniques for magnetically accelerated flyer plates, the authors present here the first neon equation of state data above 120 GPa. These results enable improved modeling of other large band-gap materials.

Subballistic operator growth in spin chains with heavy-tailed random fields

Christopher L. Baldwin

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184204 (2025) - Published 28 May, 2025

An active area of research in quantum many-body physics is the extent to which quenched disorder impedes “natural” behaviors, such as transport and thermalization. This is an inherently challenging problem to study, and thus it is particularly valuable to have rigorous results that unambiguously prove the absence of transport in certain situations. This work provides such a result: the author uses here the machinery of Lieb-Robinson bounds to prove that ballistic and even diffusive motion is indeed impossible when the distribution of on-site disorder is sufficiently heavy tailed, regardless of most other details of the Hamiltonian.

Subharmonic spin correlations and spectral pairing in Floquet time crystals

Alexander-Georg Penner, Harald Schmid, Leonid I. Glazman, and Felix von Oppen

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184308 (2025) - Published 8 May, 2025

The authors show here that the temporal spin correlations in a Floquet time crystal are asymptotically related to the statistics of eigenvalue repulsion of the defining Floquet operator. The eigenvalue statistics are found to be log-normal, which implies that apart from initial transients, the boundary spin correlations can be described analytically and are characterized by two parameters only. The relation between spectral statistics and temporal spin correlations opens new perspectives on time crystals.

Quantum master equation for many-body systems based on the Lieb-Robinson bound

Koki Shiraishi, Masaya Nakagawa, Takashi Mori, and Masahito Ueda

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184311 (2025) - Published 12 May, 2025

The authors derive here a local quantum master equation for many-body open quantum systems on the basis of the Lieb-Robinson bound, which places a fundamental upper bound on the propagation speed of correlations of observables. This approach clarifies the conditions under which local quantum master equations are valid and provides a microscopic justification for their use in strongly interacting systems. Numerical simulations on a one-dimensional fermionic chain demonstrate the accuracy of the derived equation.

Coherently coupled carrier and phonon dynamics in elemental tellurium probed by extreme ultraviolet transient absorption

Jonah R. Adelman, Hugo Laurell, Lauren B. Drescher, Han K. D. Le, Peidong Yang, and Stephen R. Leone

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184315 (2025) - Published 20 May, 2025

The authors utilize here a broadband extreme ultraviolet probe and a near-infrared pump to study coherent phonon and carrier dynamics in the elemental semiconductor tellurium. By measuring transitions from the tellurium 4d semicore levels to the conduction band, they find that coherent phonon motion couples coherently with the hot holes and electrons. This results in an anticorrelation between the phonon-induced displacement and the electronic temperature. These findings provide insight into the coupling between the lattice and electronic structure in tellurium.

Coexistence of antiferromagnetism and ferrimagnetism in adjacent honeycomb layers

D. Szaller, L. Prodan, K. Geirhos, V. Felea, Y. Skourski, D. Gorbunov, T. Förster, T. Helm, T. Nomura, A. Miyata, S. Zherlitsyn, J. Wosnitza, A. A. Tsirlin, V. Tsurkan, and I. Kézsmárki

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184404 (2025) - Published 2 May, 2025

Ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders are typically mutually exclusive, coexisting only in engineered heterostructures. Challenging this paradigm, the authors report here on an atomic-scale hybrid spin state in three-dimensional crystals of the polar antiferromagnet Co2Mo3O8. The realization of layer-by-layer stacking of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders through tailored microscopic interactions opens new routes for nanoscale engineering of unconventional magnetic states.

Elasto-Hall conductivity and the anomalous Hall effect in altermagnets

Keigo Takahashi, Charles R. W. Steward, Masao Ogata, Rafael M. Fernandes, and Jörg Schmalian

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184408 (2025) - Published 5 May, 2025

Altermagnets, in which time-reversal symmetry is broken but net magnetization is zero, have attracted much attention recently as a novel class of magnetic materials. Because the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is only allowed for certain moment directions, it is not a generic property of altermagnets. Instead, the authors show here that a transport coefficient they call elasto-Hall conductivity, corresponding to a strain-induced AHE, can be used to directly probe the altermagnetic order parameter. Moreover, the elasto-Hall conductivity arises from the strain-induced deformation of the Berry curvature quadrupole that characterizes altermagnets.

Capturing the dynamics of the phase transition of skyrmions with a nonstationary machine learning approach

Long Xiong, Neng-Ji Zhou, Shi-Qian Hu, Lei-Lei Nian, and Bo Zheng

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184415 (2025) - Published 14 May, 2025

The authors propose here a nonstationary machine learning approach specifically designed for analyzing dynamic phase transitions. By employing a subsampling technique in the short-time regime, this method overcomes the difficulty of critical slowing down. It demonstrates high effectiveness and generalization in determining critical points, and static and dynamic critical exponents in the depinning transition of skyrmions.

Chiral breakdown engineered by mesoscale Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in biaxial magnetic nanotubes

Kostiantyn V. Yershov, Svitlana Kondovych, and Denis D. Sheka

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184419 (2025) - Published 15 May, 2025

The authors analytically explore here domain wall statics and dynamics in biaxial magnetic nanotubes with intrinsic chiral Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) of different symmetries. The interplay between curvature, chiral, and dipolar interactions governs domain wall profiles and their response to external fields. While domain wall dynamics in nanotubes with bulk-type DMI is subject to chirality symmetry breaking, interfacial-type DMI primarily shifts the Walker breakdown field. These findings unlock new functionalities of chiral magnetization dynamics in curvilinear systems for advanced applications.

Fermionic entanglement in altermagnets

M. Kulig, T. Masłowski, K. A. Kouzakov, V. K. Dugaev, P. Kurashvili, S. Wolski, M. Inglot, C. Jasiukiewicz, and L. Chotorlishvili

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184427 (2025) - Published 21 May, 2025

The momentum-dependent magnetic order is the benchmark of altermagnetic materials. The authors show here that due to a unique feature, altermagnets are suitable for quantum computation and constructing quantum gates controlled via the spin-orbit interaction and external magnetic fields. The authors discuss the scattering process of the itinerant electron on the localized electron that mimics the Hadamard-CNOT gate transformation, converting the initial disentangled state into the entangled state.

Topological phase transitions in superconductors with chiral symmetry

Kristian Løvås Svalland, Maria Teresa Mercaldo, and Mario Cuoco

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184501 (2025) - Published 1 May, 2025

This study explores topological transitions in one-dimensional superconductors supporting multiple Majorana bound states, protected by chiral symmetry. It introduces the concept of “marginal topological superconductors” — gapless systems where minimal, chirality-preserving perturbations can induce a topological phase. These systems are significant because they allow for the easy creation and manipulation of Majorana states with small parameter changes, making them promising candidates for topological quantum devices requiring precise control of Majorana bound states at the edges.

Understanding and controlling dipolar Moiré pattern in ferroelectric perovskite oxide nanolayers

Sergey Prosandeev, Charles Paillard, and L. Bellaiche

Phys. Rev. B 111, L180103 (2025) - Published 22 May, 2025

Twisted atomic bilayers of ferroelectrics show unprecedented moiré patterns hosting interpenetrating arrays of dipolar vortices and antivortices. Monte Carlo simulations confirm the critical role of the flexoelectric coupling in mediating the emergence of these polar nanotextures in response to the shear strain gradient created by the twisting angle. The authors reveal here that these polar nano-objects, of high relevance to ultra-dense memory and computing applications, can be manipulated by electric fields, in a manner reminiscent of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless phase transition.

Properties of two-level systems in current-carrying superconductors

T. Liu, A. V. Andreev, and B. Z. Spivak

Phys. Rev. B 111, L180502 (2025) - Published 2 May, 2025

The authors show here that in disordered superconductors, the coupling of two-level systems to external AC electric fields can be dramatically enhanced by the presence of a DC supercurrent. This giant enhancement of the two-level system coupling manifests in all AC phenomena, both linear and nonlinear.

Coherently coupled carrier and phonon dynamics in elemental tellurium probed by extreme ultraviolet transient absorption

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184315 (2025) - Published 20 May, 2025

The authors utilize here a broadband extreme ultraviolet probe and a near-infrared pump to study coherent phonon and carrier dynamics in the elemental semiconductor tellurium. By measuring transitions from the tellurium 4d semicore levels to the conduction band, they find that coherent phonon motion couples coherently with the hot holes and electrons. This results in an anticorrelation between the phonon-induced displacement and the electronic temperature. These findings provide insight into the coupling between the lattice and electronic structure in tellurium.

Ferromagnetic/ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders are typically mutually exclusive, coexisting only in engineered heterostructures. Challenging this paradigm, the authors report here on an atomic-scale hybrid spin state in three-dimensional crystals of the polar antiferromagnet Co2Mo3O8. The realization of layer-by-layer stacking of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders through tailored microscopic interactions opens new routes for nanoscale engineering of unconventional magnetic states.

Altermagnets, in which time-reversal symmetry is broken but net magnetization is zero, have attracted much attention recently as a novel class of magnetic materials. Because the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is only allowed for certain moment directions, it is not a generic property of altermagnets. Instead, the authors show here that a transport coefficient they call elasto-Hall conductivity, corresponding to a strain-induced AHE, can be used to directly probe the altermagnetic order parameter. Moreover, the elasto-Hall conductivity arises from the strain-induced deformation of the Berry curvature quadrupole that characterizes altermagnets.

The authors propose here a nonstationary machine learning approach specifically designed for analyzing dynamic phase transitions. By employing a subsampling technique in the short-time regime, this method overcomes the difficulty of critical slowing down. It demonstrates high effectiveness and generalization in determining critical points, and static and dynamic critical exponents in the depinning transition of skyrmions.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 184419 (2025) - Published 15 May, 2025

The authors analytically explore here domain wall statics and dynamics in biaxial magnetic nanotubes with intrinsic chiral Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) of different symmetries. The interplay between curvature, chiral, and dipolar interactions governs domain wall profiles and their response to external fields. While domain wall dynamics in nanotubes with bulk-type DMI is subject to chirality symmetry breaking, interfacial-type DMI primarily shifts the Walker breakdown field. These findings unlock new functionalities of chiral magnetization dynamics in curvilinear systems for advanced applications.

The momentum-dependent magnetic order is the benchmark of altermagnetic materials. The authors show here that due to a unique feature, altermagnets are suitable for quantum computation and constructing quantum gates controlled via the spin-orbit interaction and external magnetic fields. The authors discuss the scattering process of the itinerant electron on the localized electron that mimics the Hadamard-CNOT gate transformation, converting the initial disentangled state into the entangled state.

This study explores topological transitions in one-dimensional superconductors supporting multiple Majorana bound states, protected by chiral symmetry. It introduces the concept of “marginal topological superconductors” — gapless systems where minimal, chirality-preserving perturbations can induce a topological phase. These systems are significant because they allow for the easy creation and manipulation of Majorana states with small parameter changes, making them promising candidates for topological quantum devices requiring precise control of Majorana bound states at the edges.
