Dephasing-induced jumps in non-Hermitian disordered lattices

Emmanouil T. Kokkinakis, Konstantinos G. Makris, and Eleftherios N. Economou

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214204 (2025) - Published 10 June, 2025

Within the framework of non-Hermitian photonics, the authors explore the effects of dephasing—random phase changes of the wavefunction—on wave propagation in disordered lattices. While in Hermitian lattices dephasing leads to diffusion rather than Anderson localization, the introduction of non-Hermiticity dramatically alters this behavior. Specifically, the authors demonstrate that in weakly disordered non-Hermitian lattices, dephasing enhances eigenmode localization, triggering abrupt jumps of the wavefunction between spatially distant regions, a phenomenon absent under purely coherent conditions.

Equivalent eigenvalue approach to nonlinear plane waves revealing nonlinearity-induced bandgap opening and closing phenomena

Weijian Jiao

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214308 (2025) - Published 30 June, 2025

To overcome the limitations of regular perturbation methods that fail to correctly capture some unusual nonlinear dispersion behaviors, the author proposes here an equivalent eigenvalue approach that converts the nonlinear wave equation to an equivalent linear eigenvalue problem. This directly gives the nonlinear dispersion relation and modal vectors. The theoretical approach is employed to 1D and 2D phononic crystals with alternating softening and hardening nonlinearities, revealing nonlinearity-induced band-gap opening and closing phenomena and achieving tunable frequency splitting and focusing effects.

Magnetism of kagome metals (Fe1xCox)Sn studied by μSR

Yipeng Cai, Sungwon Yoon, Qi Sheng, Guoqiang Zhao, Eric Francis Seewald, Sanat Ghosh, Julian Ingham, Abhay Narayan Pasupathy, Raquel Queiroz, Hechang Lei, Yaofeng Xie, Pengcheng Dai, Takashi Ito, Ruyi Ke, Robert J. Cava, Sudarshan Sharma, Mathew Pula, Graeme M. Luke, Kenji M. Kojima, and Yasutomo J. Uemura

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214412 (2025) - Published 5 June, 2025

The authors investigate here the magnetic properties of the kagome metals (Fe,Co)Sn. In FeSn, they identify a previously unreported anomaly near 50 K, possibly related to a new phase, in the dynamic relaxation rate 1/T1 from muon spin relaxation and corresponding signatures in ac and dc susceptibility. Upon Co substitution, Fe0.2Co0.8Sn exhibits clear spin-glass behavior with frozen spin dynamics at low temperatures, similar to dilute-alloy spin glasses, in contrast to the persistent spin dynamics often seen in other geometrically frustrated spin systems.

Spectroscopic probe of ultrafast magnetization dynamics in the extreme ultraviolet spectral range

Johanna Richter, Somnath Jana, Robert Behrends, Carl S. Davies, Dieter W. Engel, Martin Hennecke, Daniel Schick, Clemens von Korff Schmising, and Stefan Eisebitt

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214423 (2025) - Published 13 June, 2025

Advances in spectroscopic techniques in the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range have significantly improved our understanding of ultrafast magnetization dynamics. Here, the authors present an experimental geometry that extends XUV spectroscopy to systems with an out-of-plane magnetization, grown on XUV-opaque substrates. The approach allows the use of linearly polarized radiation without requiring additional polarizing optics. A comprehensive analysis is provided through simulations and experimental data, examining the technique’s performance across probe energy, polarization, and time following optical excitation.

Broadband electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy of Er167:LiYF47 at millikelvin temperatures

Ana Strinić, Patricia Oehrl, Achim Marx, Pavel A. Bushev, Hans Huebl, Rudolf Gross, and Nadezhda Kukharchyk

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214430 (2025) - Published 20 June, 2025

The authors characterize here the hyperfine transitions of 167Er:7LiYF4 in terms of the selection rules and the magnetic field and temperature dependence using broadband EPR spectroscopy between 0 and 50 mT. Refined hyperfine and quadrupole parameters are obtained with high precision by fitting the spin Hamiltonian to the zero-field spectrum. Since the technique allows to address the hyperfine transitions over a wide frequency and magnetic field range, the linewidth narrowing around a zero first-order Zeeman (ZEFOZ) point is studied.

Charge-order-driven altermagnetism in a bipartite lattice

Dayasindhu Dey, Shivam Choudhary, S. Ramasesha, and Rajamani Raghunathan

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214439 (2025) - Published 27 June, 2025

The authors present here results from mean-field theory calculations of an extended Hubbard model applied to a bipartite square lattice. They show that altermagnetism can be induced by introducing charge-order symmetry, even when the underlying lattice cannot support an altermagnetic phase. This coupling between charge and spin order offers a distinct and tunable route to realize new altermagnets.

X-ray diffraction study of the magnetization plateau above 40 T in the frustrated helimagnet CuGaCr4S8

M. Gen, K. Noda, K. Shimbori, T. Tanaka, D. Bhoi, K. Seki, H. Kobayashi, K. Gautam, M. Akaki, Y. Ishii, Y. H. Matsuda, Y. Kubota, Y. Inubushi, M. Yabashi, Y. Kohama, T. Arima, and A. Ikeda

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214441 (2025) - Published 27 June, 2025

The authors have developed a single-shot powder x-ray diffractometry technique by combining a portable single-turn coil system with an x-ray free-electron laser. Using this method here, they reveal an orthorhombic-to-cubic (or pseudocubic) structural transition associated with the emergence of the 1/2-magnetization plateau phase above 40 T in the breathing pyrochlore helimagnet CuGaCr4S8. This transition indicates the formation of a commensurate 3-up–1-down magnetic structure, likely stabilized by strong spin-lattice coupling.

Singlet/triplet Josephson junction on a substrate

Kaito Yamaki and Yasuhiro Asano

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214505 (2025) - Published 4 June, 2025

The observation of a π-phase shift in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), consisting of a spin-singlet s-wave superconductor and a spin-triplet superconductor, is solid evidence of spin-triplet superconductivity. Here, the authors explain theoretically how spin mismatch is relaxed between a spin-singlet superconductor and a spin-triplet one in a realistic SQUID fabricated on a substrate. The authors also suggest the conditions necessary for such a SQUID to function as a symmetry testing device.

Fabrication of low-loss Josephson parametric devices

K. E. Honasoge, M. Handschuh, W. K. Yam, S. Gandorfer, D. Bazulin, N. Bruckmoser, L. Koch, A. Marx, R. Gross, and K. G. Fedorov

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214508 (2025) - Published 5 June, 2025

The authors demonstrate here superconducting Josephson parametric devices with record-high internal quality factors exceeding 10⁵ at the single-photon level. By combining advanced fabrication steps, including rigorous surface treatment and argon ion milling, these devices achieve exceptionally low intrinsic losses. The latter are verified through microwave scattering and squeezed state microwave measurements. The low-loss superconducting devices are crucial for the quantum-limited amplification, frequency conversion, and generation of high-purity squeezed microwave states.

Superconducting proximity effect in two-dimensional hole gases

Serafim S. Babkin, Benjamin Joecker, Karsten Flensberg, Maksym Serbyn, and Jeroen Danon

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214518 (2025) - Published 18 June, 2025

In superconductor–semiconductor heterostructures, superconducting correlations can be induced in the semiconductor via the proximity effect. The authors propose here a model for such superconductivity in a two-dimensional hole gas, where multiple strongly spin-orbit-coupled bands are involved. Using three interface parameters, they derive explicit intraband and interband pairing terms for heavy-hole and light-hole bands. The obtained model opens the door to systematic modeling of proximized hole gases and predicts a coexistence of s-wave and d-wave singlet pairings, as well as triplet-type superconducting correlations.

Kibble-Zurek dynamics and statistics of topological defects in chiral superfluid He3 films

Noble Gluscevich and J. A. Sauls

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214526 (2025) - Published 26 June, 2025

Below a critical temperature, 3He films are chiral superfluids in one of two degenerate ground states with angular momentum ±ħ per pair. However, for cool down through the transition at a finite rate, Cooper pair fluctuations evolve into an inhomogeneous ordered phase that hosts domain walls between time-reversed chiral phases as well as quantized vortices. The authors present here numerical simulations based on time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory that reveal the nature of the inhomogeneous ordered phase, and the statistics of the vortex populations. The vortex density agrees well with the scaling relation predicted by Kibble and Zurek.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214430 (2025) - Published 20 June, 2025

The authors characterize here the hyperfine transitions of 167Er:7LiYF4 in terms of the selection rules and the magnetic field and temperature dependence using broadband EPR spectroscopy between 0 and 50 mT. Refined hyperfine and quadrupole parameters are obtained with high precision by fitting the spin Hamiltonian to the zero-field spectrum. Since the technique allows to address the hyperfine transitions over a wide frequency and magnetic field range, the linewidth narrowing around a zero first-order Zeeman (ZEFOZ) point is studied.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214439 (2025) - Published 27 June, 2025

The authors present here results from mean-field theory calculations of an extended Hubbard model applied to a bipartite square lattice. They show that altermagnetism can be induced by introducing charge-order symmetry, even when the underlying lattice cannot support an altermagnetic phase. This coupling between charge and spin order offers a distinct and tunable route to realize new altermagnets.

The authors have developed a single-shot powder x-ray diffractometry technique by combining a portable single-turn coil system with an x-ray free-electron laser. Using this method here, they reveal an orthorhombic-to-cubic (or pseudocubic) structural transition associated with the emergence of the 1/2-magnetization plateau phase above 40 T in the breathing pyrochlore helimagnet CuGaCr4S8. This transition indicates the formation of a commensurate 3-up–1-down magnetic structure, likely stabilized by strong spin-lattice coupling.

The observation of a π-phase shift in a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), consisting of a spin-singlet s-wave superconductor and a spin-triplet superconductor, is solid evidence of spin-triplet superconductivity. Here, the authors explain theoretically how spin mismatch is relaxed between a spin-singlet superconductor and a spin-triplet one in a realistic SQUID fabricated on a substrate. The authors also suggest the conditions necessary for such a SQUID to function as a symmetry testing device.

The authors demonstrate here superconducting Josephson parametric devices with record-high internal quality factors exceeding 10⁵ at the single-photon level. By combining advanced fabrication steps, including rigorous surface treatment and argon ion milling, these devices achieve exceptionally low intrinsic losses. The latter are verified through microwave scattering and squeezed state microwave measurements. The low-loss superconducting devices are crucial for the quantum-limited amplification, frequency conversion, and generation of high-purity squeezed microwave states.

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214518 (2025) - Published 18 June, 2025

In superconductor–semiconductor heterostructures, superconducting correlations can be induced in the semiconductor via the proximity effect. The authors propose here a model for such superconductivity in a two-dimensional hole gas, where multiple strongly spin-orbit-coupled bands are involved. Using three interface parameters, they derive explicit intraband and interband pairing terms for heavy-hole and light-hole bands. The obtained model opens the door to systematic modeling of proximized hole gases and predicts a coexistence of s-wave and d-wave singlet pairings, as well as triplet-type superconducting correlations.

Kibble-Zurek dynamics and statistics of topological defects in chiral superfluid He3 films

Noble Gluscevich and J. A. Sauls

Phys. Rev. B 111, 214526 (2025) - Published 26 June, 2025

Below a critical temperature, 3He films are chiral superfluids in one of two degenerate ground states with angular momentum ±ħ per pair. However, for cool down through the transition at a finite rate, Cooper pair fluctuations evolve into an inhomogeneous ordered phase that hosts domain walls between time-reversed chiral phases as well as quantized vortices. The authors present here numerical simulations based on time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory that reveal the nature of the inhomogeneous ordered phase, and the statistics of the vortex populations. The vortex density agrees well with the scaling relation predicted by Kibble and Zurek.
