Aubry pinning transition of twisted two-dimensional material bilayers

Jin Wang and Erio Tosatti

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155406 (2025) - Published 9 October, 2025

Bilayers of 2D materials such as graphene are frictionally pinned at perfect alignment but free sliding (“superlubric”) at large twists. Small-twist bilayers, heavily reconstructed, might equally remain superlubric, or turn spontaneously pinned through a so-called Aubry transition. Here, simulation and theory show that small twist graphene and other 2D bilayers remain unpinned even under high loads. A geometric criterion useful for future microscale friction planning–-the width of moiré domain walls larger than four lattice spacings-–characterizes this robust superlubricity.

Noninvasive temperature measurement of magnetic hyperthermia investigated through optical properties

Hai Hoang Thi Thanh, Damien Jamon, Chloé Landreau, James Hainsworth, Adriana Morana, Laure Bsawmaii, Emmanuel Marin, Sophie Neveu, Florent Bourquard, Patrick Ganster, Nicolas Moulin, and François Royer

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155107 (2025) - Published 2 October, 2025

The authors report here an $i n$ $s i t u$ method for probing the temperature during hyperthermia experiment, through the real-time monitoring of optical properties of magnetic nanoparticles. A setup allows inducing magnetic hyperthermia using an alternating magnetic field while simultaneously measuring the magneto-induced birefringence and optical absorption. As the temperature increases, the birefringence and absorption of magnetic nanoparticles decrease and vice versa. These findings offer a noninvasive and nondestructive method for probing temperature, and in particular provide a way to measure local temperature.

Dynamics in the presence of local symmetry-breaking impurities

Yahui Li, Pablo Sala, Frank Pollmann, Sanjay Moudgalya, and Olexei Motrunich

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155108 (2025) - Published 2 October, 2025

While symmetric systems are ubiquitously studied in physics, imperfections inevitably occur. This work introduces a general framework to study how symmetry-breaking impurities influence the relaxation dynamics of quantum many-body systems. The authors analytically show that the remnants of the original symmetries can persist for long times, leading to slow relaxation in correlation functions with a larger power-law decay exponent or long prethermal plateaus. The methods apply to both conventional symmetries, such as charge conservation, and unconventional ones like Hilbert space fragmentation.

Cross-platform protected qubits from entanglement

Nilotpal Chakraborty, Roderich Moessner, and Benoit Doucot

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155111 (2025) - Published 3 October, 2025

The omnipresence of noise in quantum hardware calls for qubit architectures with a high degree of protection from such noise. The authors present here a qualitatively new construction and general route towards such protection starting from a many-body system of entangled spin-½s – the entanglemon qubit. They present toy models for two different kinds of entanglemon qubits that could possibly be realized across multiple hardware platforms, each with different levels of protection, with the latter protected against both dephasing and depolarization.

Disorder operators in two-dimensional Fermi and non-Fermi liquids through multidimensional bosonization

Kang-Le Cai and Meng Cheng

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155123 (2025) - Published 9 October, 2025

Disorder operators, a class of nonlocal observables, offer insight into the nature of many-body systems by probing symmetry charge fluctuations. Using bosonization, the authors analyze here the scaling of disorder operators in two-dimensional Fermi and non-Fermi liquids. They find that the U(1) charge disorder operator in a Fermi liquid scales as $L \ln L$ , and predict an enhanced $L \ln^{2} L$ scaling in the non-Fermi-liquid regime, revealing a distinctive signature of non-Fermi-liquid behavior.

Highly anisotropic surface resonance states in the kagome semimetal ${Ni}_{3} {In}_{2} {Se}_{2}$

Kaiyi Zhai, Xian Du, Cheng Chen, Wujun Shi, Wenxuan Zhao, Yidian Li, Zhongkai Liu, Yangyang Lv, Yulin Chen, and Lexian Yang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155124 (2025) - Published 9 October, 2025

Shandite kagome materials offer a versatile platform for investigating intriguing quantum phenomena, due to their rich tunability and the synergy of magnetism, topology, and electronic correlations. Here, the authors directly observe surface resonance states on the shandite kagome crystal Ni $_{3}$ In $_{2}$ Se $_{2}$ using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). These surface states exhibit massive Dirac-like dispersions with highly anisotropic effective masse, an unusual feature in three-dimensional materials. Surface-confined states with relatively large spin–orbit coupling effects is potentially useful in surface science.

$Z_{N}$ generalizations of three-dimensional stabilizer codes

Chanbeen Lee, Yaozong Hu, Gil Young Cho, and Haruki Watanabe

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155136 (2025) - Published 16 October, 2025

The authors generalize here three-dimensional ℤ $_{2}$ stabilizer models—the X-cube, toric code, and Haah’s code—to their ℤ $_{N}$ counterparts, revealing size-dependent ground-state degeneracy and novel excitations. They demonstrate that the generalized X-cube hosts quasi-fractons that remain immobile under local operations but become mobile via global ones. In the toric code, both closed-loop and open-string excitations emerge, while Haah’s code features new fracton tripole and monopole excitations. These findings uncover unconventional topological orders and broaden the understanding of fracton phases beyond the conventional ℤ $_{2}$ framework.

Formation of a simple cubic antiferromagnet through charge ordering in a double Dirac material

Tanya Berry, Vincent C. Morano, Thomas Halloran, Xin Zhang, Tyler J. Slade, Aashish Sapkota, Sergey L. Bud'ko, Weiwei Xie, Dominic H. Ryan, Zhijun Xu, Yang Zhao, Jeffrey W. Lynn, Tom Fennell, Paul C. Canfield, Collin L. Broholm, and Tyrel M. McQueen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155139 (2025) - Published 16 October, 2025

How do charge and magnetic order conspire to reduce symmetry in rare earth magnets? At high-temperatures, the Eu $^{2 +}$ and Eu $^{3 +}$ ions in mixed-valent EuPd $_{3}$ S $_{4}$ are randomly distributed on a body-centered-cubic lattice. Here, the authors find a charge ordering transition in which each valence occupies one of the two constituent simple cubic sublattices. The Néel transition emerging from this charge ordered state at lower temperatures realizes an important yet uncommon variety of rare-earth antiferromagnetism.

Magnetic-field tunable Möbius and higher-order topological insulators in three-dimensional layered octagonal quasicrystals

Yuxiao Chen, Zhiming Xu, Citian Wang, and Huaqing Huang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155141 (2025) - Published 20 October, 2025

The authors demonstrate here that layered magnetic quasicrystals with eightfold rotational symmetry can host a series of magnetic field tunable topological phases. By combining canted antiferromagnetic order and octagonal warping effect, they reveal the emergence of a glide symmetry protected Möbius insulator and multiple higher-order topological insulator (HOTI) phases, distinguished by their hinge-mode configurations. Their findings establish quasicrystals as a fertile platform for realizing symmetry-protected topological phenomena beyond periodic lattices, and offer a new route for magnetic control of higher-order topology.

Quantum Griffiths phase in the kagome Kondo lattice ${CeRh}_{0.9} {Pd}_{0.1} Sn$

Nan Tang, Rajesh Tripathi, Yasuyuki Shimura, Toshiro Takabatake, Devashibhai A. Adroja, and Philipp Gegenwart

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155151 (2025) - Published 23 October, 2025

Disorder can reshape quantum criticality. The authors observe here, in the kagome Kondo lattice CeRh $_{0.9}$ Pd $_{0.1}$ Sn, the expected Grüneisen divergence is absent. Instead, weak power-law divergences in thermodynamics ( $T^{(λ - 1)}$ , 0 < λ < 1) signal non-Fermi-liquid behavior consistent with a disorder-driven quantum Griffiths phase rather than a conventional quantum critical point. At low temperatures, a negative thermal expansion develops above ~0.5 T, and the NFL scaling breaks down when antiferromagnetic correlations emerge—highlighting how quenched disorder, frustration, and Kondo physics intertwine to produce exotic metallic states.

Evidence for easy-plane XY ferromagnetism in heavy-fermion quantum-critical ${CeRh}_{6} {Ge}_{4}$

Riku Yamamoto, Sejun Park, Zachary W. Riedel, Phurba Sherpa, Joe D. Thompson, Filip Ronning, Eric D. Bauer, Adam P. Dioguardi, and Michihiro Hirata

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155152 (2025) - Published 23 October, 2025

By employing $^{73}$ Ge nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the authors unveil here the magnetic anisotropy and structure in the heavy-fermion quantum-critical ferromagnet CeRh $_{6}$ Ge $_{4}$ . They identify a uniform ferromagnetic order and a small ordered moment of 0.26 $μ_{B}$ /Ce confined within the $a b$ plane with an XY-type easy-plane character. They also find an involved interplay of hybridization and 4 $f$ -electron local moment physics, providing new insights towards designing a more realistic theoretical framework to describe the quantum criticality in this compound under pressure.

Quantum geometric bounds for observables: Linear responses, Drude weight, and orbital magnetization

Koki Shinada and Naoto Nagaosa

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155158 (2025) - Published 24 October, 2025

The quantum geometric tensor (QGT) provides nontrivial bounds among physical quantities, as exemplified by the metric curvature inequality. How far can this idea be generalized, and what other observables obey such quantum-geometric constraints? The authors show here that generalized QGTs yield new inequalities among all linear responses, the Drude weight, and the orbital magnetization. They further find that this Drude orbital magnetization inequality approaches equality as bands become flatter, which is nearly satisfied in the experimentally observed orbital magnetization of twisted bilayer graphene.

Moiré-induced fragile topology and Chern bands in twisted organic kagome bilayers

Khalid N. Anindya and Hong Guo

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155160 (2025) - Published 27 October, 2025

Twisting two carbonyl-triphenyl kagome layers produces a moiré superlattice with flat bands near the Fermi level and distinct, angle-selective topology. The authors find here a fragile ℤ $_{2}$ region at 10.83°, identified by non-Abelian Wilson loops, and at 11.46° individual near-Fermi bands carry Chern numbers ±1 while the combined subspace remains neutral. Moiré-induced symmetry breaking generates Haldane-like loop currents and concentrated Berry curvature, establishing a tunable, all-organic platform where chemistry and twist jointly engineer correlated and topological electronic behavior with control.

Electronic structure of the ${Bi}_{2} {Te}_{3}$ non-van der Waals surface

Igor A. Shvets, Sergey V. Eremeev, Vladimir A. Golyashov, Niranjan Kumar, Andrey S. Tarasov, Konstantin A. Kokh, and Oleg E. Tereshchenko

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155166 (2025) - Published 29 October, 2025

The authors successfully prepare here a high-quality side surface of the layered topological insulator Bi_{2}Te_{3}. Using DFT calculations, they clearly demonstrate the reason behind the significant anisotropy of the Dirac state and its relationship with the projection of the bulk states onto the chosen crystallographic plane. Surface spectrum calculations enable them to determine the orientation of the facets on the prepared side surface, which is found to be $(10 \bar{1})$ , the spectrum of which aligns perfectly with the ARPES measurements.

Theory of the two-photon Franz-Keldysh effect and electric-field-induced bichromatic coherent control

J. K. Wahlstrand and J. E. Sipe

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155208 (2025) - Published 17 October, 2025

When a strong electric field is applied to a semiconductor, acceleration of charge carriers modifies the optical absorption spectrum. This phenomenon, the Franz-Keldysh effect, is the basis of photoreflectance spectroscopy and electroabsorption modulators. The authors extend here a theory of the Franz-Keldysh effect and calculate field-induced changes in the two-photon absorption spectrum and a related coherent control process. Results of numerical calculations for gallium arsenide predict a strong polarization dependence and absorption changes that depend on the sign of the field.

Optical conductivity and band gap in the double-Weyl candidate ${SrSi}_{2}$ at ambient pressure

L. Z. Maulana, A. A. Tsirlin, E. Uykur, Y. Saito, M. Dressel, M. Imai, and A. V. Pronin

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155209 (2025) - Published 20 October, 2025

The authors study here the possible double-Weyl state in cubic SrSi $_{2}$ using optical spectroscopy and $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations. The free-carrier density, found from optics, decreases with decreasing temperature, consistent with an activation behavior. Experimental interband conductivity juxtaposed with $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations shows that conventional density functional theory fails to describe the electronic structure of SrSi $_{2}$ near the Fermi level. A semilocal exchange-correlation potential allows a much better agreement with the experiment, resulting a gapped band structure of SrSi $_{2}$ with the direct gap of 35–40 meV.

Two- and three-photon absorption in silicon for above-band-gap photon energies

Martin Aagaard, Simon Peter Slot Jessen, John Lundsgaard Hansen, Rosana Martinez Turtos, Peter Balling, and Brian Julsgaard

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155210 (2025) - Published 30 October, 2025

Silicon is one of the most well-studied materials, leaving a sense that there are no new surprises to be found. However, here the authors provide new insight into nonlinear optical absorption in silicon at above-bandgap photon energies. They demonstrate that three-photon absorption dominates indirect two-photon absorption for photon energies below the direct two-photon-absorption edge at 1.7 eV, a result at variance with previously held assumptions. The authors provide nonlinear absorption coefficients for photon energies from 1.14–2.07 eV.

Dispersion of backward-propagating waves in a surface defect on a three-dimensional photonic band-gap crystal

Timon J. Vreman, Melissa J. Goodwin, Lars J. Corbijn van Willenswaard, William L. Barnes, Ad Lagendijk, and Willem L. Vos

Phys. Rev. B 112, 155305 (2025) - Published 20 October, 2025

The authors fabricate here a silicon nanostructure to confine light to a thin 2D layer, a layer that acts as a surface defect on a 3D photonic band gap crystal. Confined waves are excited with high efficiency and, remarkably, are found to run in a backward direction (see image), owing to the periodic nature of the surface defect. Reflectivity experiments agree well with supercell calculations and finite-difference time-domain simulations. The author’s results further demonstrate the power of nanomaterials to control light.
