Low-density amorphous ice contains crystalline ice grains

Michael Benedict Davies, Alexander Rosu-Finsen, Christoph G. Salzmann, and Angelos Michaelides

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024203 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

The most common form of ice in the Universe is not what it appears to be. In this study, the authors find the low-density amorphous ice (LDA) is not actually truly “amorphous” as its name suggests. They present a unified computational and experimental view that LDA is actually a partially crystalline material, with many small crystallites embedded within an amorphous matrix. LDA plays a cornerstone role in theories on the fundamental nature of liquid water, giving this result considerable interest.

Ultrafast dynamics of chiral spin structures in synthetic antiferromagnets

Zongxia Guo, Raphael Gruber, Dmitriy Ksenzov, Cyril Léveillé, Matteo Pancaldi, Emanuele Pedersoli, Carlo Spezzani, Giovanni De Ninno, Flavio Capotondi, Christian Gutt, Mathias Kläui, Vincent Cros, Nicolas Reyren, and Nicolas Jaouen

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020408 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The authors investigate here the ultrafast magnetic dynamics of a chiral spin structure in fully compensated synthetic antiferromagnetic multilayers. At the Fe $L_{3}$ edge (707 eV), a series of time-delayed scattering patterns are obtained by time-resolved circular dichroism in x-ray resonant magnetic scattering (CD-XRMS) at the FERMI free-electron laser source. The magnetization and dichroism signals exhibit similar dynamics, with demagnetization in approximately 180 fs followed by rapid remagnetization within 500 fs, reflecting the continuous rotation of magnetization in spin spirals.

Emergent multifractality in power-law decaying eigenstates

Adway Kumar Das, Anandamohan Ghosh, and Ivan M. Khaymovich

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024201 (2025) - Published 1 July, 2025

Eigenstate multifractality is important in many-body localization, superconductivity enhancement, quantum algorithm speed-up, and black hole physics. Unfortunately, multifractality is rare in random matrix models and fragile to uncorrelated disorder. The authors show here that for a wavefunction with a power-law decay $R^{- a}$ where $R$ is the Euclidean distance over a $d$ -dimensional lattice, genuine multifractality is possible for $d > 2 a$ . The authors demonstrate this proposed principle in a tight-binding model with nearest-neighbor hopping. Based on the energy-coordinate duality with the quantum harmonic oscillator, the authors analytically obtain the spectrum of fractal dimensions and show that the bulk energy eigenstates are multifractal.

Scrutinizing the Mori memory function for diffusion in periodic quantum systems

Scott D. Linz, Jiaozi Wang, Robin Steinigeweg, and Jochen Gemmer

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024301 (2025) - Published 1 July, 2025

Diffusion is an ubiquitous phenomenological transport behavior in condensed matter physics. Attempts at a complete derivation of the diffusion equation from quantum mechanical first principles remain incomplete. It has been conjectured that a finite area under the correlation function of an observable implies ordinary diffusive transport of that observable. This cannot be generally true since, as is shown in this paper, counterexamples can be constructed. Thus, a additional necessary criterion for diffusion is established, ruling out the given counterexample.

Nonperturbative treatment of a quenched Langevin field theory

Friederike Ihssen, Valerio Pagni, Jamir Marino, Sebastian Diehl, and Nicolò Defenu

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024306 (2025) - Published 11 July, 2025

Developing nonperturbative tools to tackle real-time dynamics in many-body systems remains a central challenge in theoretical physics. This work extends the functional renormalization group to dynamical settings by expanding around time-evolving states, rather than static vacua. Applied to aging dynamics in φ⁴ field theory, the method outperforms the two-loop ε-expansion and meets analytic benchmarks. The approach is readily extendable to quantum critical systems out of equilibrium, offering a powerful new tool for characterizing quantum dynamical scaling.

Nonrelativistic linear Edelstein effect in helical ${EuIn}_{2} {As}_{2}$

Nayra A. Álvarez Pari, Rodrigo Jaeschke-Ubiergo, Atasi Chakraborty, Libor Šmejkal, and Jairo Sinova

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024404 (2025) - Published 1 July, 2025

A combination of spin symmetry analysis and first-principles calculations of two helical phases reported in EuIn $_{2}$ As $_{2}$ reveal that magnetic exchange alone induces an odd-parity-wave and $g$ -wave magnetic order in momentum space. These unconventional spin orderings remain mostly unchanged under SOC effects. To further confirm the odd-parity nature of the magnetic order, the authors compute the Edelstein effect, revealing a distinct out-of-plane spin density that dominates over SOC effects. Notably, the magnitude of this anisotropic response differs significantly between the two helical phases.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spin relaxation and transport behavior in $d$ -wave altermagnetic systems

Y. J. Sun, F. Yang, and L. Q. Chen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024412 (2025) - Published 8 July, 2025

D’yakonov-Perel’ (DP) spin relaxation is often associated with spin-orbit coupling or inhomogeneous magnetization. Here, the authors demonstrate that in altermagnetic systems—lacking both ingredients—a DP-type spin relaxation mechanism persists across both weak and strong scattering regimes. This relaxation is governed by a distinct correlation time originating from spin dephasing, dominated by high-order angular scattering rather than conventional backscattering. These results highlight opportunities for designing spintronic devices where spin transport is tunable via symmetry, disorder, and temperature.

Magnetoelectric coupling and its impact on the multicaloric effect

Kentaro Ino, Keisuke Matsuura, Tetsuya Nomoto, Takashi Kurumaji, Yoshinori Tokura, and Fumitaka Kagawa

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024434 (2025) - Published 24 July, 2025

The multicaloric effect represents a reversible entropy change, induced by multiple external fields. While it has been theoretically proposed that a nontrivial additional entropy change can arise from a cross-correlation, such as a coupling between magnetism and electricity, no quantitative experimental verification has been achieved. Here, the authors develop a thermodynamic framework for the multicaloric effect and provide the first experimental evaluation of the cross-correlation-derived entropy change in the magnetoelectric compound (Fe $_{0.95}$ Zn $_{0.05}$ ) $_{2}$ Mo $_{3}$ O $_{8}$ . This study deepens the thermodynamic understanding of multiferroic systems.

Dynamical response theory of interacting Majorana fermions and its application to generic Kitaev quantum spin liquids in a field

Peng Rao, Roderich Moessner, and Johannes Knolle

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024440 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The authors develop here a general theory for calculating experimental signatures of interacting Majorana fermions within the random phase approximation (RPA), which helps to identify their experimental signatures in experiment. As an example, the authors apply it to the seminal Kitaev quantum spin liquid (KQSL) away from the Kitaev limit, and show that, contrary to conventional wisdom, sharp signatures in neutron scattering can arise in KQSL due to Majorana bound states.

Antisymmetric chiral currents at zero magnetic field in some two-dimensional superconductors

Chandra M. Varma

Phys. Rev. B 112, 024513 (2025) - Published 24 July, 2025

Experiments show that the superconducting state of underdoped cuprates, along with some other superconductors, has a nonreciprocal critical current (diode effect) without applying a magnetic field. This paper shows that this requires, in every case, superconductivity inherited from a normal state that breaks time-reversal and chiral symmetries, thereby acquiring a superfluid tensor with a component with the symmetry of the Hall effect (see the image). For the cuprates, this provides, after 35 years of investigations, a $m a c r o s c o p i c$ answer to the unresolved central question of the nature of the pseudogap, from which essentials of the rest of the phase diagram follows.

Experimental evidence of non-Abelian conservation rule for multiple interacting exceptional points

Qicheng Zhang, Yufei Leng, Cui-Xian Guo, Liangjun Qi, Shuaishuai Tong, Haiping Hu, and Chunyin Qiu

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020101 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

The authors experimentally uncover here a surprising twist in non-Hermitian physics: exceptional points—previously thought to annihilate in pairs—can instead coalesce into new, higher-order ones. Using sound waves in a specially designed resonator array, the authors track how multiple exceptional points split, interact and collide. The results validate a non-Abelian conservation rule that governs their collective behavior, including topological charge transmutations. This counterintuitive discovery challenges conventional wisdom and opens exciting new possibilities for controlling sound waves in engineered systems.

Nonadiabatic dynamics and universal behaviors in non-Hermitian systems under biorthogonal framework

Menghua Deng, Wei Li, Kangyi Hu, Chen Sun, and Fuxiang Li

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020306 (2025) - Published 31 July, 2025

The authors introduce here a novel theoretical framework based on time-dependent biorthogonal quantum formalism to deal with the nonadiabatic dynamics in a driven non-Hermitian quantum system. Applying this framework to a linearly driven system, Kibble-Zurek scaling behavior and defect freezing phenomenon can be observed under different quench paths. These results offer fundamental insights into non-Hermitian dynamics and open new avenues for exploring nonequilibrium quantum phenomena.

Orbital-spin locking and its optical signatures in altermagnets

Marc Vila, Veronika Sunko, and Joel E. Moore

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020401 (2025) - Published 1 July, 2025

The authors develop here a microscopic tight-binding model for altermagnets, considering the explicit effects of crystal field, and reveal an inherent interplay between the orbital, sublattice, and spin degrees of freedom. The crystal field couples the orbitals with the sublattices, and these then couple to the spins through the exchange interaction. The model is applied to $d$ -wave altermagnets and the authors predict unique magneto-optical fingerprints resulting from such orbital-spin locking.

Observation of chiral domain walls in an octupole-ordered antiferromagnet

Moeta Tsukamoto, Zhewen Xu, Tomoya Higo, Kouta Kondou, Kento Sasaki, Mihiro Asakura, Shoya Sakamoto, Pietro Gambardella, Shinji Miwa, YoshiChika Otani, Satoru Nakatsuji, Christian L. Degen, and Kensuke Kobayashi

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020404 (2025) - Published 17 July, 2025

The noncollinear antiferromagnet Mn $_{3}$ Sn is a model material for antiferromagnetic spintronics due to its topological transport phenomena. However, direct observation of its magnetic texture has been challenging due to the extremely small moment from its magnetic octupole order. The authors use here a diamond-based quantum scanning microscope to sensitively map stray magnetic fields at the nanoscale, visualizing the intrinsic magnetic domains and chiral domain walls in a single-crystalline Mn $_{3}$ Sn thin film. The results provide quantitative evidence of octupole ordering and open new directions for exploring chiral antiferromagnetism in spintronic applications.

Realizing nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation with large tunability in SmCo/Fe bilayers

Mengxue Jiang, Guofu Xu, Liang Sun, Heng Niu, Chaozhong Li, Xi Yang, Tongzhou Ji, Man Yang, Jun Cheng, Junwei Ma, Gong Chen, Guozhi Chai, Bingfeng Miao, and Haifeng Ding

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020409 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

A major challenge in magnonic device development is achieving controllable nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation, as conventional methods are limited by fixed material properties. Here, the authors demonstrate continuously tunable nonreciprocity in SmCo/Fe bilayers by modifying their exchange spring, effectively mimicking a system with a widely adjustable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction constant (−0.36 to −5.43 mJ/m²). Moreover, they reveal a previously unexplored physical mechanism: static dipolar interactions in noncollinear spin structures as a quantitative driver of nonreciprocal spin-wave propagation.

The Aharonov-Casher phase is geometrical and not topological

Igor Kuzmenko, Y. B. Band, and Yshai Avishai

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020501 (2025) - Published 7 July, 2025

In the Aharonov-Casher eﬀect (ACE), a particle with a magnetic moment moves along a closed path and is subject to an electric field. The spin-orbit term in the Hamiltonian aﬀects the wave function phase. Consequently, the ACE is a purely quantum eﬀect. The authors address here the question of whether this geometric phase depends on the details of the closed path (or not, as in the Aharonov-Bohm eﬀect, wherein the phase is topological). By presenting a simple counterexample, it is shown that the phase depends on the details of the path. Therefore, it is not topological.

Topological incommensurate Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconductor and Bogoliubov Fermi surface in rhombohedral tetralayer graphene

Hui Yang and Ya-Hui Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020506 (2025) - Published 24 July, 2025

Based on the random phase approximation, the authors identify here a chiral $p$ - $i p$ superconducting phase in rhombohedral tetralayer graphene. By tuning the displacement field at fixed carrier density, a topological phase transition from a topological superconductor to a trivial superconductor is observed, signaled by a gap closing at the critical point. Near the boundary between the superconducting and Fermi liquid phases, a superconducting state featuring Bogoliubov Fermi surfaces is found. Furthermore, by evaluating the free energy in the superconducting phase, the authors find that an incommensurate Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state is energetically favored at low temperatures.

In-plane magnetic field induced orbital Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconductivity in twisted ${WSe}_{2}$ homobilayers

Jihang Zhu, Yang-Zhi Chou, Yi Huang, and Sankar Das Sarma

Phys. Rev. B 112, L020507 (2025) - Published 31 July, 2025

The authors predict here that an in-plane magnetic field drives purely orbital Fulde–Ferrell–Larkin–Ovchinnikov superconductivity in twisted WSe $_{2}$ homobilayers. They show finite-momentum pairing emerges above a critical field for symmetric layers ( $V_{z}$ = 0) and at any field when layers are polarized (| $V_{z}$ | > 0), and they identify a sharp phase transition between two distinct FF phases when two moiré pockets coexist (region III). Their work establishes twisted WSe $_{2}$ as a tunable platform for realizing and controlling FFLO states.
