Thermal disorder and phonon softening in the ferroelectric phase transition of lead titanate

Pinchen Xie, Yixiao Chen, Weinan E, and Roberto Car

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094113 (2025) - Published 27 March, 2025

The authors find here, with first-principles molecular dynamics simulations enhanced by machine learning, that on submicrometer scales the first-order ferroelectric phase transition in PbTiO3 is driven by dipolar fluctuations at the nanoscale, while nucleation is suppressed by strong elastic-dipole coupling. The study shows that the ideal “phonon softening” observed in experiments is likely a secondary effect of the Debye relaxation that accompanies an order-disorder transformation, suggesting that spectroscopical softening is not necessarily an indicator of displacive structural transition.

Mode-coupling formulation of heat transport in anharmonic materials

Aloïs Castellano, J. P. Alvarinhas Batista, Olle Hellman, and Matthieu J. Verstraete

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094306 (2025) - Published 17 March, 2025

The authors apply here the recently introduced mode-coupling framework for anharmonic lattice dynamics to derive a general theory of phonon heat transport, which does not depend on the harmonic approximation or perturbation theory. They account for diagonal and off-diagonal contributions to the heat current, with and without collective effects, and describe an efficient implementation of the theory, including Monte Carlo integration of the scattering, which reduces the computational cost by an order of magnitude.

Stripe magnetic order in semimetallic triangular-lattice CeLi3Bi2

M. M. Bordelon, R. Yamamoto, M. O. Ajeesh, C. Girod, J. Wampler, P. Sherpa, A. P. Dioguardi, J. D. Thompson, S. Calder, V. Zapf, F. Ronning, S. M. Thomas, E. D. Bauer, M. Hirata, and P. F. S. Rosa

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094401 (2025) - Published 3 March, 2025

Insulating triangular lattice materials have attracted much attention due to their potential quantum spin liquid ground state. Though metallic counterparts are predicted to host a breadth of exotic quantum states, experimentally recognizing pristine platforms that could be chemically and electronically tuned to generate unconventional states remains an outstanding challenge. This work presents a comprehensive experimental and theoretical investigation of triangular lattice CeLi3Bi2. The finding of stripe antiferromagnetic order in a semimetal places this compound as a promising platform for tuning the interplay between short-range geometric frustration and long-range magnetic interactions.

Hidden magnetic phases in i-MAX compounds

Dror Yahav, Ariel Maniv, Daniel Potashnikov, Asaf Pesach, El'ad N. Caspi, Arneil P. Reyes, Quanzheng Tao, Johanna Rosén, and Eran Maniv

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094427 (2025) - Published 20 March, 2025

The authors uncover a hidden high-field, high-temperature magnetic phase in i-MAX compounds, revealing new complexities in their magnetic behavior. By exploring the influence of rare-earth elements and external fields, they demonstrate an unexpected evolution of magnetic phases. The findings highlight the intricate interplay between composition, temperature, and field strength, providing fresh insights into the fundamental properties of these materials and their potential implications for future studies of magnetism in layered systems.

Hopfions in chiral magnetic trilayers

X. C. Hu, X. S. Wang, C. Wang, and X. R. Wang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094436 (2025) - Published 27 March, 2025

The stabilization of hopfions in chiral magnetic trilayers requires three essential conditions: (1) the middle layer must possess sufficiently strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) relative to collinear interactions to establish skyrmions as the ground state in a 2D film, yet not so strong as to fragment the spin texture; (2) the layer thickness must provide adequate space for skyrmion tubes to twist and form closed-loop configurations; and (3) two capping layers with strong magnetic anisotropy are necessary to confine the hopfion and prevent its expansion. These combined criteria ensure the formation and stability of hopfion structures in the trilayer system.

Unconventional superconductivity mediated by nematic fluctuations in a multiorbital system: Application to doped FeSe

Kazi Ranjibul Islam and Andrey Chubukov

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094503 (2025) - Published 6 March, 2025

In unconventional superconductors, pairing is believed to be of electronic origin, and linked to critical collective fluctuations. Here, the authors investigate how nematic fluctuations, responsible for orbital polarization, mediate pairing in doped FeSe. They show that nematic-mediated pairing is highly unconventional and leads to a highly anisotropic gap structure. This in turn gives rise to pronounced non-BCS behavior of observables. The authors compute thermodynamic, spectroscopic, and transport characteristics, find good agreement with the experimental data, and propose further experiments to test their predictions.

Nodal points, lines, and surfaces, and topological surface states in superconductor NiBi3

Jie Zhang, Kai-Yue Jiang, Shu-Xiang Qiao, Peng-Cheng Xiao, Na Jiao, Ping Zhang, Hong-Yan Lu, and Qi-Feng Liang

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094508 (2025) - Published 10 March, 2025

Despite the numerous reports on the time-honored superconductor NiBi3, theoretical investigations remain limited. By using first-principles calculations, the authors select here multiple pairs of bands to show its topological structure, including nodal points, lines, and surfaces and topological surface states. The authors also demonstrate that the superconductivity of NiBi3 originates from the p orbitals of Bi and d orbitals of Ni coupling with the Bi vibration. Thus, NiBi3 holds significant potential for realization of topological superconductivity and other exotic phenomena.

Atypical vortex lattice and the magnetic penetration depth in superconducting Sr2RuO4 deduced by μSR

M. Yakovlev, Z. Kartsonas, and J. E. Sonier

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094509 (2025) - Published 11 March, 2025

For three decades, the superconducting order parameter symmetry in Sr2RuO4 has remained elusive. In most superconductors this symmetry manifests in the structure of the magnetic vortex lattice induced by applying a magnetic field. The minimum field of the vortex lattice is typically located at the center of a triangular or square arrangement of vortices. The authors report here on an unusual situation for Sr2RuO4, where the minimum field appears to be between midway between nearest-neighbor vortices in a square lattice. This finding introduces another constraint on possible superconducting order parameters.

The stabilization of hopfions in chiral magnetic trilayers requires three essential conditions: (1) the middle layer must possess sufficiently strong Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) relative to collinear interactions to establish skyrmions as the ground state in a 2D film, yet not so strong as to fragment the spin texture; (2) the layer thickness must provide adequate space for skyrmion tubes to twist and form closed-loop configurations; and (3) two capping layers with strong magnetic anisotropy are necessary to confine the hopfion and prevent its expansion. These combined criteria ensure the formation and stability of hopfion structures in the trilayer system.

Unconventional superconductivity mediated by nematic fluctuations in a multiorbital system: Application to doped FeSe

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094503 (2025) - Published 6 March, 2025

In unconventional superconductors, pairing is believed to be of electronic origin, and linked to critical collective fluctuations. Here, the authors investigate how nematic fluctuations, responsible for orbital polarization, mediate pairing in doped FeSe. They show that nematic-mediated pairing is highly unconventional and leads to a highly anisotropic gap structure. This in turn gives rise to pronounced non-BCS behavior of observables. The authors compute thermodynamic, spectroscopic, and transport characteristics, find good agreement with the experimental data, and propose further experiments to test their predictions.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 094508 (2025) - Published 10 March, 2025

Despite the numerous reports on the time-honored superconductor NiBi3, theoretical investigations remain limited. By using first-principles calculations, the authors select here multiple pairs of bands to show its topological structure, including nodal points, lines, and surfaces and topological surface states. The authors also demonstrate that the superconductivity of NiBi3 originates from the p orbitals of Bi and d orbitals of Ni coupling with the Bi vibration. Thus, NiBi3 holds significant potential for realization of topological superconductivity and other exotic phenomena.

For three decades, the superconducting order parameter symmetry in Sr2RuO4 has remained elusive. In most superconductors this symmetry manifests in the structure of the magnetic vortex lattice induced by applying a magnetic field. The minimum field of the vortex lattice is typically located at the center of a triangular or square arrangement of vortices. The authors report here on an unusual situation for Sr2RuO4, where the minimum field appears to be between midway between nearest-neighbor vortices in a square lattice. This finding introduces another constraint on possible superconducting order parameters.
