Radiative heat transfer in topological nodal-ring semimetals

Cheng-Long Zhou, Jun-Yu Chu, Xiao-Qi Sun, Yong Zhang, Hong-Liang Yi, and Ashutosh Singh

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235130 (2026) - Published 27 October, 2026

Can electronic band topology leave a fingerprint in thermal radiation? Here, the authors theoretically show that the evolution from a nodal point to a nodal ring shifts spectral heat flux to higher frequencies and reduces the contribution of large-wave-vector photon tunneling channels. Together, these effects broaden the near-field radiation spectrum while suppressing heat transfer. The resulting temperature-sensitive radiative response connects topological electronic states with nanoscale energy modulation and offers a platform for thermal switching, thermal rectification, and thermal stabilization.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Exactly solvable models hosting altermagnetic quantum spin liquids

João Augusto Sobral, Pietro M. Bonetti, Subrata Mandal, and Mathias S. Scheurer

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235132 (2026) - Published 28 October, 2026

While altermagnets have been primarily studied for their magnetic properties, another important aspect is the impact of strong quantum fluctuations that can lead to the loss of magnetic order. Here, the authors construct exactly solvable models for quantum-disordered altermagnets. They identify altermagnetic spin liquids—states that preserve spin-rotation and translation symmetries, yet break time-reversal symmetry through orbital moments, whose net value vanishes by symmetry— and study their excitations, and competing phases.

Time-dependent terahertz dielectric function of ZnTe under two-photon optical excitation at 800 nm wavelength

Farell Keiser, Wentao Zhang, Dominik Johannesmann, Nicolas S. Beermann, Yuhao Meng, Hassan A. Hafez, Savio Fabretti, and Dmitry Turchinovich

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235205 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

Zinc telluride (ZnTe) is widely used to generate and detect terahertz radiation with 800-nm laser pulses, yet its dielectric response at typical THz generation intensities remains unclear. Here, the authors show that two-photon absorption creates a transient free-carrier plasma strongly coupled to the lattice, modifying the THz dielectric function and markedly enhancing the 1.55-THz phonon resonance. These findings refine the physical description of THz generation in ZnTe and identify excitation-induced constraints on efficiency and bandwidth.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Dynamic pressure induced phase transition in ${Cu}_{4} {TiSe}_{4}$ : Lower lattice thermal conductivity from a shallow potential well

Hui Zhang, Zhihao Li, Maheen Kanwal, Panpan Peng, Jianhong Hu, Jinze Zhai, and Hongchao Wang

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235207 (2026) - Published 19 October, 2026

Multiple structures of Cu $_{4}$ TiSe $_{4}$ have been predicted theoretically, but how they are related experimentally remains unclear. Here, the authors synthesize the rhombohedral phase and show that dynamic pressure during ball milling induces a transition to the cubic phase, with both phases stable at ambient conditions. Counterintuitively, the higher-symmetry cubic phase exhibits lower lattice thermal conductivity, which they attribute to Cu atoms in shallow potential wells that enhance atomic displacement and thereby reduce phonon group velocities and shorten phonon lifetimes.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Discerning Hall and non-Hall transverse currents in linear and nonlinear regimes

Yu-Fei Liu, Jinchen Liu, Tiema Qian, Hou Chen Li, Tianye Huang, Jian-Xiang Qiu, Xiaoyu Zeng, Peng Guo, Jian Tang, Thao Dinh, Qiong Ma, Xufan Li, Ni Ni, Anyuan Gao, and Su-Yang Xu

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235407 (2026) - Published 7 October, 2026

Rapid advances in nonlinear Hall transport provide new probes of quantum geometry, but transverse signals generally mix Hall and non-Hall contributions that are difficult to disentangle. Here, the authors introduce a unified experimental protocol that exchanges current and voltage directions to identify antisymmetric Hall and symmetric non-Hall responses. Measurements across representative quantum materials validate the method in both linear and nonlinear regimes.

Gyrotropy from extrinsic geometry in twisted materials

Spenser Talkington and Eugene J. Mele

Phys. Rev. B 114, 235408 (2026) - Published 13 October, 2026

Two-dimensional moiré materials feature widely tunable electronic structures. When these materials are illuminated by light, they exhibit optical gyrotropy in the form of circular dichroism and birefringence. Here, the authors show that this gyrotropy naturally decomposes into an intrinsic contribution due to interlayer electronic coupling and an extrinsic contribution due to the twisted embedding of the material in physical space. The authors conduct a general symmetry analysis applicable to moiré materials and identify regimes in which the intrinsic, and in which the extrinsic contributions dominate the gyrotropy. Finally, they apply the analysis to twisted bilayer graphene and twisted MoTe $_{2}$ .

Many-body Euler topology

Axel Fünfhaus, Titus Neupert, Thilo Kopp, and Roser Valentí

Phys. Rev. B 114, L231104 (2026) - Published 8 October, 2026

The authors introduce here many-body Euler numbers as a counterpart to many-body Chern numbers to diagnose the spontaneous breaking of time reversal symmetry in (fractional) Chern insulators. In addition, a classification scheme to realize different topological phases in interacting systems using symmetry indicators is laid out.

Highly uniaxial stress-tunable orbital-driven magnetism in CrAs

Kousuke Ishida, Hsiao-Yi Chen, Shumpei Seto, Hisashi Kotegawa, Ryoga Takahara, Yoichi Nii, Eiichi Matsuoka, Yusuke Wakabayashi, Clifford W. Hicks, Yusuke Nomura, and Yoshinori Onose

Phys. Rev. B 114, L231105 (2026) - Published 14 October, 2026

CrAs undergoes a first-order helimagnetic transition accompanied by a huge lattice distortion whose microscopic mechanism remains unresolved. Here, the authors demonstrate through stress-strain measurements that the helimagnetic transition in CrAs is substantially more sensitive to uniaxial stress than to hydrostatic pressure. First-principles calculations reveal that this strong response originates from an entanglement between anisotropic strain and orbital-dependent correlations, showing that local correlations can drive nonlinear elastic responses in strongly correlated systems.

Quantum Hall transformer in a quantum point contact over the full range of transmission

Stuart Yi-Thomas and Jay D. Sau

Phys. Rev. B 114, L231406 (2026) - Published 28 October, 2026

A quantum point contact between fractional quantum Hall states with different fillings can act as a dissipationless voltage transformer and provide a physical realization of the boundary sine-Gordon model. However, the microscopic understanding across the full range of transmission has remained unclear, complicating the interpretation of a recent experiment. Here, the authors use analytical and tensor network calculations of a sliding charge density wave to solve this open problem and quantitatively connect the conductance to the boundary sine-Gordon model.

Gate-tunable superconductor-semiconductor coupling and its impact on zero-energy modes in PbTe-Pb nanowires

Phys. Rev. B 114, L231407 (2026) - Published 29 October, 2026

Superconductor–semiconductor coupling plays a crucial role in realizing Majorana zero modes in hybrid nanowire devices. Here, the authors demonstrate controllable and tunable coupling in PbTe–Pb hybrid nanowires. More importantly, they establish a direct connection between the coupling strength and the emergence of robust zero modes. These findings provide valuable insights into engineering Majorana zero modes in this promising material platform.
