EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spin-density wave of ferrimagnetic building blocks masking the ferromagnetic quantum critical point in ${NbFe}_{2}$

T. Poulis, G. Mani, J. Sturt, W. J. Duncan, H. Thoma, V. Hutanu, B. Ouladdiaf, I. Kibalin, M. H. Lemee, P. Manuel, A. Neubauer, C. Pfleiderer, F. M. Grosche, and P. G. Niklowitz

Phys. Rev. B 114, 225106 (2026) - Published 5 October, 2026

Ferromagnetic quantum critical points can be masked by emerging modulated magnetic order. Here, the authors use neutron diffraction to show that the example of NbFe $_{2}$ provides the first case, where the masking modulated order is a longitudinal spin-density wave. The latter has a large-wavelength incommensurate modulation of its low average moment and is formed from ferrimagnetic building blocks with antiparallel ferromagnetic sheets. The findings can serve as a test case for magnetic quantum order-by-disorder models.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Correlation-enhanced electron-phonon coupling in FeSe/ ${SrTiO}_{3}$ at a magic angle

Qiang Zou, Antik Sihi, Basu Dev Oli, Huimin Zhang, Mercè Roig, Daniel Agterberg, Michael Weinert, Lian Li, and Subhasish Mandal

Phys. Rev. B 114, 225123 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

Here, the authors combine first-principles dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), epitaxial materials design, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy to show that superconductivity in monolayer FeSe/SrTiO $_{3}$ is maximized at a magic FeSe $_{4}$ tetrahedral angle. They demonstrate that strong electronic correlations, captured by DMFT, substantially enhance electron-phonon coupling within the FeSe layer and produce a superconducting dome. These findings reveal the microscopic origin of enhanced superconductivity and suggest a route for engineering higher-temperature superconductors.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Millisecond-long electron spin lifetime in ${CsPbI}_{3}$ perovskite nanocrystals revealed by optically detected magnetic resonance

Vasilii V. Belykh, Mikhail M. Glazov, Sergey R. Meliakov, Dmitri R. Yakovlev, Evgeniya V. Kulebyakina, Mikhail L. Skorikov, Mikhail V. Kochiev, Maria S. Kuznetsova, Elena V. Kolobkova, and Manfred Bayer

Phys. Rev. B 114, 225301 (2026) - Published 1 October, 2026

Here, the authors reveal millisecond-long electron spin relaxation in CsPbI $_{3}$ perovskite nanocrystals at low temperatures using the resonant spin inertia technique based on optically detected magnetic resonance. The authors uncover the role of slowly fluctuating nuclear spins in the spin relaxation at low magnetic fields and show that a two-LO-phonon Raman process governs the temperature dependence of the spin relaxation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Exact electromagnetic multipole expansion using elementary current multipoles

Radoslaw Kolkowski, Sagar Sehrawat, and Andriy Shevchenko

Phys. Rev. B 114, 225407 (2026) - Published 8 October, 2026

The authors introduce here a general electromagnetic multipole expansion, in which the scattering current density is expanded instead of the scattered field. The multipole moments obtained represent simple current configurations and can easily be calculated for an arbitrary multipole order and for scatterers of arbitrary sizes and shapes. They are connected to the conventional field-based moments by simple linear relations, providing a rigorous basis for intuitive design and analysis of complex scattering systems, such as electromagnetic anapoles and chiral structures.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Interplay between photon condensation and electron-electron interactions in molecular systems

Matteo Parisi, Elisabetta Paladino, Giuseppe A. Falci, Gian Marcello Andolina, Salvatore Savasta, Marco Polini, and Francesco M. D. Pellegrino

Phys. Rev. B 114, 225416 (2026) - Published 20 October, 2026

Here, the authors investigate photon condensation in a system of molecules hosting interacting electrons, coupled to a spatially nonuniform cavity field. This magnetostatic transition is driven by strong orbital Van Vleck paramagnetism and can be either first or second order, depending on the electronic filling and interaction strength. The polariton spectrum reveals the transition’s order, with the lowest polariton mode softening at second-order transitions and excitation energies exhibiting discontinuities at first-order ones.
