Martin Jourdan, Jonathan Bläßer, Guzmán Orero Gámez, Sonka Reimers, Lukas Odenbreit, Miriam Fischer, Yuran R. Niu, Evangelos Golias, Francesco Maccherozzi, Armin Kleibert, Hermann Stoll, and Mathias Kläui

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104408 (2025) - Published 4 September, 2025

Antiferromagnets have attracted considerable interest in spintronics for their potential to enable ultrafast, current-driven switching of antiparallel aligned magnetic moments. Here, the authors uncover a thermally induced magnetoelastic switching mechanism that occurs within the duration of current pulses previously employed in the field and can closely mimic spin-orbit torque effects—yet operates on a fundamentally slower timescale. By employing a tailored sample geometry, they disentangle these competing effects and conclusively demonstrate ultrafast Néel spin-orbit torque switching in Mn2Au.

Ultrafast x-ray diffraction of high-pressure phases in dynamically compressed TiO2

I. K. Ocampo, R. F. Smith, D. Kim, V. Prakapenka, S. Speziale, M. Schoelmerich, K. Appel, D. N. Polsin, M. Marshall, S. J. Tracy, F. Miozzi, H. J. Lee, E. Galtier, E. Cunningham, C. McGuire, C. Vennari, A. E. Gleason, and T. S. Duffy

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104103 (2025) - Published 17 September, 2025

The authors combine here in situ femtosecond x-ray diffraction with laser velocimetry to map high-pressure phase transitions in shock compressed polycrystalline and single-crystal rutile (TiO2). Their results reveal the emergence of a distorted fluorite structure and the ultrafast synthesis of the Fe2P-type phase at pressures well below the equilibrium phase boundary. These transformations occur on nanosecond timescales, highlighting the unique pathways enabled by high-strain-rate loading and offering new insights into metastable phase formation in oxide materials.

Lauren B. Drescher, Bethany R. de Roulet, Yoong Sheng Phang, and Stephen R. Leone

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104310 (2025) - Published 9 September, 2025

Optical excitation of carriers can launch coherent lattice motion by changing the energy landscape of solids. But how does the relaxation of optically excited carriers affect this coherent motion? Using extreme ultraviolet transient absorption spectroscopy with few-femtosecond temporal resolution, the authors investigate here the onset of coherent phonon motion in Peierls-distorted antimony and find that the carrier relaxation during the first 100 fs following excitation leaves a lasting impact on the phase of the coherent lattice motion.

Mean-field mixed quantum-classical approach for many-body quantum dynamics of exciton polaritons

Pritha Ghosh, Arshath Manjalingal, Sachith Wickramasinghe, Saeed Rahmanian Koshkaki, and Arkajit Mandal

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104319 (2025) - Published 22 September, 2025

Coupling material excitations to photons inside optical cavities has been experimentally shown to give rise to a wide range of exotic quantum phenomena, and such light–matter hybrid systems have been proposed as versatile platforms for developing quantum devices. However, the theoretical understanding of the interplay between phonon-induced disorder and nonlinear many-body interactions, central to the dynamics of these systems, remains unclear, as incorporating these contributions into direct quantum dynamical simulations is highly challenging. To address this, the authors develop here a mean-field many-body mixed quantum–classical approach, in which the nuclei are propagated quasiclassically while the electronic and photonic degrees of freedom evolve under a nonlinear Schrödinger equation that incorporates many-body effects at the mean-field level. Using this framework, the authors demonstrate that nonlinear interactions and the total number of excitations can be tuned to enhance quantum coherence in light–matter systems and enable enhanced exciton transport in materials placed inside optical cavities.

Rethinking αRuCl3: Parameters, models, and phase diagram

Marius Möller, P. A. Maksimov, Shengtao Jiang (蒋晟韬), Steven R. White, Roser Valentí, and A. L. Chernyshev

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104403 (2025) - Published 2 September, 2025

α-RuCl3 promises to harbor an exotic Kitaev spin liquid that could shape the fortunes of the fields of quantum materials and quantum computing. Here, the authors offer a Rosetta Stone for this and other anisotropic-exchange Kitaev materials. The key message is the approach for constraining parameters of their low-energy spin models using experimental observables. This work clears the path to a consistent interpretation of experiments and gives important new insights into the fundamental properties of quantum magnets with spin-orbit coupling.

G-type antiferromagnetic BiFeO3 is a multiferroic g-wave altermagnet

Andrea Urru, Daniel Seleznev, Yujia Teng, Se Young Park, Sebastian E. Reyes-Lillo, and Karin M. Rabe

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104411 (2025) - Published 8 September, 2025

Altermagnetic spin splitting is often missed by conventional band structure plots, as it often vanishes along the high-symmetry lines and planes in the Brillouin zone shown in these plots. Here, the authors introduce a novel band structure plotting method that incorporates high-symmetry and general lines to make the splitting apparent. A framework to classify the splitting in three dimensions and its nodal surfaces is also developed. These concepts are demonstrated in a theoretical study of altermagnetism in multiferroic BiFeO3.

Spin glass effects and nonexistence of a ferromagnetic quantum critical point in the compositionally tuned FeGa3xGex metallic quantum ferromagnets (x=0.00.16)

Stanislav Vrtnik, Primož Koželj, Magdalena Wencka, Kristian Bader, Julia Petrović, Jože Luzar, Peter Mihor, Andreja Jelen, Peter Gille, and Janez Dolinšek

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104420 (2025) - Published 11 September, 2025

Since tuning of chemical composition always introduces some degree of disorder, there emerges a question whether compositionally tuned quantum ferromagnets can undergo a truly continuous quantum phase transition at a ferromagnetic quantum critical point. Here, the authors monitor experimentally the formation of fragile magnetic ordering in FeGa3xGex quantum ferromagnets in its infancy state and report a compositionally narrow, low-temperature, and magnetically fragile spin glass state between the paramagnetic and the homogeneous ferromagnetic states, with no quantum critical point.

Noncollinear antiferromagnetism in a quantum paraelectric EuTiO3 thin film

J. Bedard, J. Franklin, Z. Ritchey, M. D. Morales-Acosta, M. Jain, and I. Sochnikov

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104430 (2025) - Published 22 September, 2025

EuTiO3 has emerged as a platform to study multiferroic quantum phase transitions. However, characterizations of the magnetic and structural ground states of thin film and bulk samples remain disputed. Here, the authors study a nominally unstrained EuTiO3 thin film using a scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope. They unexpectedly find the emergence of a canted antiferromagnetic state at the film’s Néel temperature. The presence of canting either at surface or within the bulk of the film may shed light into the unconventional magnetoelectric effects previously observed in the system.

Emerging magnetic phase in the orthoferrite HoFeO3 detected by spin Hall magnetoresistance and spin Seebeck effect

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104432 (2025) - Published 22 September, 2025

Rare-earth orthoferrites are a promising platform for spintronic devices due to their unique combination of antiferromagnetic and magnetoelectric coupling, as well as tunable spin dynamics. Here, the authors use electrical spin transport measurements to study how 3d-4f exchange between the Fe and Ho sublattices affects the low-temperature anisotropy of HoFeO3. They find a rare-earth-induced tilting of the anisotropy axis and a sharp increase in the spin-Seebeck effect associated with the emergence of low-energy magnon modes.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104437 (2025) - Published 25 September, 2025

The authors show here that ultrafast spin accumulations can produce magneto-optical signals as large as those from magnetic layers. By carefully separating contributions in multilayer systems, they establish how Kerr rotation and ellipticity respond differently to transported spins and demagnetization. These findings provide a clear framework for probing ultrafast spin transport, offering new opportunities for studying spin and orbital dynamics in solids.

Skyrmion motion in synthetic antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets driven by asymmetric spin wave emission

Christopher E. A. Barker, Charles Parton-Barr, Christopher H. Marrows, Olga Kazakova, and Craig Barton

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104438 (2025) - Published 25 September, 2025

Synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for nonconventional computing technologies, offering high speed, small size, and robustness against stray fields. The authors demonstrate here a nonperturbative mechanism for skyrmion manipulation using micromagnetic simulations. By exciting their intrinsic breathing modes with a microwave field and applying a static in-plane magnetic field, asymmetric spin wave emission is triggered, propelling skyrmion motion. These findings open new avenues for skyrmion control in synthetic antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets using global magnetic fields alone.

Magnon-induced scalar spin chirality in kagome and honeycomb ferromagnets

Nanse Esaki, Gyungchoon Go, and Se Kwon Kim

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104440 (2025) - Published 25 September, 2025

The authors show here that the scalar spin chirality (SSC) can be thermally induced in magnets where ground states have zero SSC. The results are obtained for 2D ferromagnets on kagome and honeycomb lattices, where Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions break effective time-reversal symmetry for magnons, yielding finite SSC at nonzero temperatures that can reach magnitudes comparable to those of noncoplanar spin structures under certain situations. These results reveal a significant manifestation of SSC in collinear spin systems, providing new insights into chiral magnetism.

Elastically buckled film-substrate system as a two-dimensional crystal

Wenqing Zhu (朱文清)

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100101 (2025) - Published 4 September, 2025

Elastic buckling in soft matter is fundamental to applications from soft robotics to optical metasurfaces. Here, the authors demonstrate that the strain energy functional of a linear elastic film on a nonlinear elastic substrate can be mapped onto the density functional of phase-field crystal theory, with the film’s deflection field corresponding to the atomic density field. This equivalence reveals that the buckled film-substrate system under compression is mathematically analogous to a two-dimensional crystal formed upon cooling, bridging continuum mechanics and crystallization theory.

Phonon-assisted upconversion photoluminescence with high thermal sensitivity of rare-earth doped nanoparticles in vacuum optical tweezers

Xiaojun Guo, Yanzhen Xiao, Xiangtai Xi, Sihan Wang, Hairong Zheng, Volker Deckert, Zhengkun Fu, and Zhenglong Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100301 (2025) - Published 17 September, 2025

The authors achieve here high thermal sensitivity in upconversion luminescence from optically levitated NaYF4:Yb³⁺/Er³⁺ nanoparticles in vacuum. By tuning excitation wavelength, they control the number of phonons involved in the absorption and energy transfer processes. Larger energy mismatch (e.g., 1064 nm excitation) requires more phonons, resulting in greater thermal enhancement. The temperature-dependent phonon population model explains the observed sensitivity, advancing nanoscale thermometry applications in quantum optics and nanophotonics.

Topological switching in bilayer magnons via electrical control

Xueqing Wan, Quanchao Du, Jinlian Lu, Zhenlong Zhang, Jinyang Ni, Lei Zhang, Zhijun Jiang, and Laurent Bellaiche

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100404 (2025) - Published 11 September, 2025

Topological magnons hold promise for lossless information processing, but their electrical control remains challenging due to charge neutrality. Here, the authors propose a general strategy for electrically controlling topological magnons in bilayer ferromagnets with strong spin-layer coupling. An applied vertical electric field modulates intralayer Heisenberg exchanges between layers, which competes with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, enabling precise manipulation of magnon band topology and nonreciprocity. Furthermore, this mechanism strongly couples with external magnetic fields, unveiling new perspectives on magnetoelectric coupling in charge-neutral quasiparticles.

Microscopic correlation between magnetostriction and magnetic damping

Ivan Kurniawan, Keita Ito, Takeshi Seki, Keisuke Masuda, and Yoshio Miura

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100407 (2025) - Published 17 September, 2025

The authors show here that the magnitude of magnetic damping depends on the sign of magnetostriction in metallic alloys, specifically (Fe1xCox)4N and Ni1yCoy. First-principles calculations reveal that strain modifies the electronic structure near the Fermi level, influencing both magnetostriction and damping through spin-conserving transitions. The results reproduce experimental trends across alloy compositions and clarify the role of orbital degeneracy. This intrinsic link between magnetization dynamics and magnetoelasticity suggests routes for designing materials with controllable damping for energy-efficient memory and flexible spintronics.

Superconducting junctions with flat bands

P. Virtanen, R. P. S. Penttilä, P. Törmä, A. Díez-Carlón, D. K. Efetov, and T. T. Heikkilä

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100502 (2025) - Published 4 September, 2025

Materials where single electrons move slowly and form so-called flat electron bands, have been proposed to have theoretical promise in high-temperature superconductivity. Here, the authors predict how such materials would behave when used in superconducting junctions, which play a key role in quantum computers and other quantum technology applications. With flat-band materials, the current through the junction may increase as superconductivity becomes weaker. In extended junctions, quantum geometry of the flat electronic band is also important to allow current to flow through despite the slowness of the electron motion. The differences to conventional junctions are characteristic for the flat-band state, and understanding them is necessary for applications

Bosonic quantum breakdown Hubbard model

Yu-Min Hu and Biao Lian

Phys. Rev. B 112, L100504 (2025) - Published 16 September, 2025

Symmetry and its spontaneous breaking play a fundamental role in classifying quantum phases of matter. Here, the authors propose a bosonic quantum breakdown Hubbard model with an unconventional global symmetry, called the exponential U(1) symmetry. The model undergoes a first-order phase transition into breakdown condensate spontaneously breaking the exponential U(1) symmetry, which surprisingly exhibits no gapless Goldstone modes. These results shed new light on the exploration of unconventional phases of matter with exponential symmetries.

Optical excitation of carriers can launch coherent lattice motion by changing the energy landscape of solids. But how does the relaxation of optically excited carriers affect this coherent motion? Using extreme ultraviolet transient absorption spectroscopy with few-femtosecond temporal resolution, the authors investigate here the onset of coherent phonon motion in Peierls-distorted antimony and find that the carrier relaxation during the first 100 fs following excitation leaves a lasting impact on the phase of the coherent lattice motion.

Coupling material excitations to photons inside optical cavities has been experimentally shown to give rise to a wide range of exotic quantum phenomena, and such light–matter hybrid systems have been proposed as versatile platforms for developing quantum devices. However, the theoretical understanding of the interplay between phonon-induced disorder and nonlinear many-body interactions, central to the dynamics of these systems, remains unclear, as incorporating these contributions into direct quantum dynamical simulations is highly challenging. To address this, the authors develop here a mean-field many-body mixed quantum–classical approach, in which the nuclei are propagated quasiclassically while the electronic and photonic degrees of freedom evolve under a nonlinear Schrödinger equation that incorporates many-body effects at the mean-field level. Using this framework, the authors demonstrate that nonlinear interactions and the total number of excitations can be tuned to enhance quantum coherence in light–matter systems and enable enhanced exciton transport in materials placed inside optical cavities.

α-RuCl3 promises to harbor an exotic Kitaev spin liquid that could shape the fortunes of the fields of quantum materials and quantum computing. Here, the authors offer a Rosetta Stone for this and other anisotropic-exchange Kitaev materials. The key message is the approach for constraining parameters of their low-energy spin models using experimental observables. This work clears the path to a consistent interpretation of experiments and gives important new insights into the fundamental properties of quantum magnets with spin-orbit coupling.

Antiferromagnets have attracted considerable interest in spintronics for their potential to enable ultrafast, current-driven switching of antiparallel aligned magnetic moments. Here, the authors uncover a thermally induced magnetoelastic switching mechanism that occurs within the duration of current pulses previously employed in the field and can closely mimic spin-orbit torque effects—yet operates on a fundamentally slower timescale. By employing a tailored sample geometry, they disentangle these competing effects and conclusively demonstrate ultrafast Néel spin-orbit torque switching in Mn2Au.

Altermagnetic spin splitting is often missed by conventional band structure plots, as it often vanishes along the high-symmetry lines and planes in the Brillouin zone shown in these plots. Here, the authors introduce a novel band structure plotting method that incorporates high-symmetry and general lines to make the splitting apparent. A framework to classify the splitting in three dimensions and its nodal surfaces is also developed. These concepts are demonstrated in a theoretical study of altermagnetism in multiferroic BiFeO3.

Here, the authors monitor experimentally the formation of fragile magnetic ordering in FeGa3xGex quantum ferromagnets in its infancy state and report a compositionally narrow, low-temperature, and magnetically fragile spin glass state between the paramagnetic and the homogeneous ferromagnetic states, with no quantum critical point.

EuTiO3 has emerged as a platform to study multiferroic quantum phase transitions. However, characterizations of the magnetic and structural ground states of thin film and bulk samples remain disputed. Here, the authors study a nominally unstrained EuTiO3 thin film using a scanning superconducting quantum interference device microscope. They unexpectedly find the emergence of a canted antiferromagnetic state at the film’s Néel temperature. The presence of canting either at surface or within the bulk of the film may shed light into the unconventional magnetoelectric effects previously observed in the system.

Rare-earth orthoferrites are a promising platform for spintronic devices due to their unique combination of antiferromagnetic and magnetoelectric coupling, as well as tunable spin dynamics. Here, the authors use electrical spin transport measurements to study how 3d-4f exchange between the Fe and Ho sublattices affects the low-temperature anisotropy of HoFeO3. They find a rare-earth-induced tilting of the anisotropy axis and a sharp increase in the spin-Seebeck effect associated with the emergence of low-energy magnon modes.

The authors show here that ultrafast spin accumulations can produce magneto-optical signals as large as those from magnetic layers.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104438 (2025) - Published 25 September, 2025

Synthetic antiferromagnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for nonconventional computing technologies, offering high speed, small size, and robustness against stray fields. The authors demonstrate here a nonperturbative mechanism for skyrmion manipulation using micromagnetic simulations. By exciting their intrinsic breathing modes with a microwave field and applying a static in-plane magnetic field, asymmetric spin wave emission is triggered, propelling skyrmion motion. These findings open new avenues for skyrmion control in synthetic antiferromagnets and ferrimagnets using global magnetic fields alone.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 104440 (2025) - Published 25 September, 2025

The authors show here that the scalar spin chirality (SSC) can be thermally induced in magnets where ground states have zero SSC. The results are obtained for 2D ferromagnets on kagome and honeycomb lattices, where Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interactions break effective time-reversal symmetry for magnons, yielding finite SSC at nonzero temperatures that can reach magnitudes comparable to those of noncoplanar spin structures under certain situations. These results reveal a significant manifestation of SSC in collinear spin systems, providing new insights into chiral magnetism.
