Thermodynamic constraint for the electronic structure of Fe-Ni alloys at room and high temperature

Jonathan Paras and Antoine Allanore

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085105 (2025) - Published 3 February, 2025

The contribution of electrons to the entropy of metallic elements and their alloys is well established below room temperature. In this work, the authors test the performance of using an irreversible thermodynamic theory that experimentally links the transport electronic entropy to the thermopower and the number of charge carriers, to inform the total entropy of mixing of the system Fe-Ni, at both room temperature and 1273 K.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Generalized framework for straintronics in two-dimensional quantum materials using group theory

Rami Zemouri, A. R. Champagne, and Saurabh Maiti

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085112 (2025) - Published 5 February, 2025

There is a growing need for strain modeling in the rapidly developing field of straintronics and two-dimensional materials. Here, by means of group theory the authors formulate a general microscopic theory of strain which considers the symmetry of the lattice and the bonds within the unit cell. They identify when and how many scalar and vector potentials can arise from strain in single and multilayer systems. Thus, for example, strained low-energy bilayer graphene is shown to have two vector potentials. This formulation allows for a greater range of materials to be studied in quantum transport experiments.

Full minimal coupling Maxwell-TDDFT: An ab initio framework for light-matter interaction beyond the dipole approximation

Franco P. Bonafé, Esra Ilke Albar, Sebastian T. Ohlmann, Valeriia P. Kosheleva, Carlos M. Bustamante, Francesco Troisi, Angel Rubio, and Heiko Appel

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085114 (2025) - Published 5 February, 2025

The authors present here the first $a b$ $i n i t i o$ nonrelativistic QED method that self-consistently couples light and matter beyond the electric dipole approximation, avoiding multipolar truncations. Implemented in the open-source code $O c t o p u s$ for massively parallel simulations, this framework unveils phenomena like renormalized Cherenkov radiation, magneto-optical effects in molecules, and frequency shifts in plasmonic modes. Crucially, it captures effects beyond the dipole approximation, missed by traditional approaches. Thus, the method opens new frontiers in the exploration of quantum matter driven by structured light, orbital angular momentum, and strong-field physics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Hardening of Ni-O bond-stretching phonons in ${LaNiO}_{2}$

Yilin Wang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085117 (2025) - Published 6 February, 2025

Using DFT+DMFT calculations, the authors demonstrate here that dynamical electron correlations and fluctuating local magnetic moments in the paramagnetic state induce significant hardening of the optical Ni-O bond-stretching phonons of the infinite-layer nickelate superconductor LaNiO $_{2}$ . The electron correlations are found to be sensitive to such phonons, indicating a strong electron coupling to the Ni-O bond-stretching phonons. It emphasizes that local spin fluctuations should be fully considered when describing the lattice dynamics of the infinite-layer nickelates without long-range magnetic order.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Quasimolecular electronic structure of the trimer iridate ${Ba}_{4} {NbIr}_{3} O_{12}$

M. Magnaterra, A. Sandberg, H. Schilling, P. Warzanowski, L. Pätzold, E. Bergamasco, Ch. J. Sahle, B. Detlefs, K. Ruotsalainen, M. Moretti Sala, G. Monaco, P. Becker, Q. Faure, G. S. Thakur, M. Songvilay, C. Felser, P. H. M. van Loosdrecht, J. van den Brink, M. Hermanns, and M. Grüninger

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085122 (2025) - Published 10 February, 2025

The trimer compound Ba $_{4}$ NbIr $_{3}$ O $_{12}$ is found to be a spin-orbit-entangled cluster Mott insulator, with two holes per trimer occupying quasimolecular orbitals. The authors employ here resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) and exact diagonalization. The quasimolecular nature yields a characteristic interference pattern in the RIXS intensity, reflecting the character of the wavefunction. Despite a large hopping, strong spin-orbit coupling is decisive for the electronic states. This promises nontrivial magnetic moments in trimers with an odd number of holes.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Zeeman splitting and quantum-limit magnetoresistance anomaly in the topological insulator β- $A g_{2} Se$

Yue Zhao, Lei Shi, Kuan Li, Huakun Zuo, Gangjian Jin, Zhifeng Xue, Wei Zhou, Dingyong Zhong, Donghui Guo, Qizhong Zhu, Yunwei Zhang, Huixia Luo, and Huichao Wang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085135 (2025) - Published 18 February, 2025

The nontrivial bulk states of topological insulators open avenues for comprehending and harnessing topological phases. Here, the authors demonstrate β-Ag $_{2}$ Se as a topological insulator by uncovering exceptional transport properties linked to the bulk states, supported by theoretical calculations. The observation of notable Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations and Zeeman splitting reveals a Landé $g$ -factor of approximately 10. The longitudinal magnetoresistance exhibits two anomalous dips in the quantum limit, attributed to forbidden backscattering, providing further affirmation of the strong topological insulator characteristics in this compound.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Mapping the three-dimensional fermiology of the triangular lattice magnet ${EuAg}_{4} {Sb}_{2}$

J. Green, Harry W. T. Morgan, Morgaine Mandigo-Stoba, William T. Laderer, Kuan-Yu Wey, Asari G. Prado, Chris Jozwiak, Aaron Bostwick, Eli Rotenberg, Christopher Gutiérrez, Anastassia N. Alexandrova, and Ni Ni

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085139 (2025) - Published 19 February, 2025

Magnetic materials that allow for the mapping of all Fermi surfaces to fully capture the interplay between magnetism and electronic structure are rare. The authors elucidate here the fermiology of antiferromagnetic EuAg $_{4}$ Sb $_{2}$ through quantum oscillations, capturing full sets of spin-split Fermi pockets in the polarized ferromagnetic state. These results show good agreement with first-principles calculations and ARPES data. Temperature-dependent changes in the size and shape of the small hourglass pockets, but not the large ones, highlight that variations in exchange splitting, driven by changes in magnetic moment, primarily affect the small pockets without significantly altering the overall electronic structure in this compound.

Higher-rank spin liquids and spin nematics from competing orders in pyrochlore magnets

Niccolò Francini, Lukas Janssen, and Daniel Lozano-Gómez

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085140 (2025) - Published 19 February, 2025

Magnetic insulators with a pyrochlore lattice structure serve as an ideal platform for investigating exotic phases of matter arising from frustration. Here, the authors reveal two previously unidentified phases in pyrochlore magnets: a higher-rank classical spin liquid and a spin-nematic phase stabilized by a thermal order-by-disorder mechanism. These discoveries shed new light on the interplay of competing magnetic orders and highlight the potential for realizing unconventional magnetic phases driven by this competition.

Material-oriented modeling of quantum many-body effects in a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide nanolaser device

J. Buchgeister, A. Steinhoff, D. Erben, M. Lorke, and F. Jahnke

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085301 (2025) - Published 6 February, 2025

Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides are a notable option as a gain material in future optoelectronic devices, in particular as source of stimulated emission. Here, the authors report a fully quantum mechanical theory to microscopically investigate the interplay of the efficient light-matter interaction and many-body effects in an MoS $_{2}$ monolayer nanolaser operating at room temperature. The key finding is that such devices are capable of establishing stable gain phases for electron-hole-plasma-based lasing occurring at excited carrier densities above $5 \times 10^{13} {cm}^{- 2}$ .

Landé $g$ factors and spin dynamics of charge carriers in CuCl nanocrystals in a glass matrix

Dennis Kudlacik, Evgeny A. Zhukov, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, Gang Qiang, Marina A. Semina, Aleksandr A. Golovatenko, Anna V. Rodina, Alexander L. Efros, Alexey I. Ekimov, and Manfred Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085423 (2025) - Published 21 February, 2025

The size-dependent blue shift of exciton lines due to confinement in CuCl nanocrystals (NCs), observed by Ekimov and Onuschenko in 1981, was likely the first demonstration of the quantum confinement effect. Parabolic conduction and valence band edges in CuCl resemble those of a large class of perovskite semiconductors. Few magneto-optical studies, however, exist on CuCl NCs, unlike perovskite NCs. Here, the electron $g$ -factor, measured using different methods, shows puzzlingly increases as CuCl NC sizes decrease, a phenomenon that is not described within existing theoretical models.

Nonmonotonic temperature dependence of electron viscosity and crossover to high-temperature universal viscous fluid in monolayer and bilayer graphene

Indra Yudhistira, Ramal Afrose, and Shaffique Adam

Phys. Rev. B 111, 085433 (2025) - Published 28 February, 2025

This paper studies the temperature dependence of viscosity and entropy density in the strong interaction regime for the electron fluid in monolayer and bilayer graphene. It demonstrates the nontrivial temperature dependence of the viscosity in the hydrodynamic regime, and calculates, via a combination of microscopic calculation of electron lifetime and the macroscopic Navier-Stokes equation, a high-temperature limit for the viscosity and entropy density. It represents a significant advancement in our understanding of the hydrodynamic electronic transport in monolayer and bilayer graphene.

Graph-theoretical proof of nonintegrability in quantum many-body systems: Application to the PXP model

HaRu K. Park and SungBin Lee

Phys. Rev. B 111, L081101 (2025) - Published 4 February, 2025

The Yang-Baxter method is a powerful tool for studying integrable systems, but proving whether a system possesses local conserved quantities remains challenging. Shiraishi’s proof of the XYZ model’s nonintegrability with a magnetic field inspired the authors’ demonstration of the PXP model’s nonintegrability, previously only conjectured via level statistics. As the PXP model is a key example of quantum many-body scars exhibiting exotic long-time behavior, the present work highlights that such behavior is unrelated to local conserved quantities and introduces a graph-theoretical approach, suggesting universality in nonintegrability proofs.

Optical manifestations and bounds of topological Euler class

Wojciech J. Jankowski, Arthur S. Morris, Adrien Bouhon, F. Nur Ünal, and Robert-Jan Slager

Phys. Rev. B 111, L081103 (2025) - Published 4 February, 2025

The authors demonstrate here that multigap topological phases hosting an Euler invariant relate to quantum-geometric bounds. These bounds constrain optical weights and sizes of adjacent gaps. The results are validated upon recasting them as optical absorption rates and open up a route to determine experimentally the topological Euler class through momentum- and frequency-resolved measurements. Moreover, it is shown that a singular quantum geometry of topological Euler band nodes induces observable features, such as quantized optical conductivities.

Transverse voltage in anisotropic hydrodynamic conductors

Kaize Wang, Chunyu Guo, Philip J. W. Moll, and Tobias Holder

Phys. Rev. B 111, L081402 (2025) - Published 6 February, 2025

Here, the authors study correlated electron flow in a two-dimensional channel at highly anisotropic Fermi surfaces. If the principal crystal axes are misaligned with respect to the channel geometry, a transverse voltage develops whose sign is determined by the competition of viscous and dissipative forces. This effect presents a sensitive indicator for the onset of hydrodynamic electron transport, showcasing that real materials give rise to novel phenomena which are unattainable with purely isotropic Fermi surfaces.

Linear-in-temperature conductance in two-dimensional electron fluids

Serhii Kryhin, Qiantan Hong, and Leonid Levitov

Phys. Rev. B 111, L081403 (2025) - Published 7 February, 2025

A hallmark of electron hydrodynamics—a transport regime dominated by electron collisions—is that collisions enhance conduction and reduce dissipation, causing resistance to drop and conductance to rise with temperature ( $T$ ). Here, the authors present a microscopic study of two-dimensional electron fluids, predicting linear-in- $T$ scaling of hydrodynamic conductance. This behavior, contrasting with the $T^{2}$ scaling in three-dimensional Fermi liquids, arises from a cascade of multiple long-lived viscous modes unique to two-dimensional systems. The number of modes relevant for transport grows as $T$ decreases, resulting in a non-Fermi-liquid linear-in- $T$ behavior.
