Lattice dynamics of the infinite-layer nickelate ${LaNiO}_{2}$

Shohei Hayashida, Vignesh Sundaramurthy, Wenfeng Wu, Pascal Puphal, Thomas Keller, Björn Fåk, Masahiko Isobe, Bernhard Keimer, Karsten Held, Liang Si, and Matthias Hepting

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205104 (2025) - Published 3 November, 2025

Infinite-layer nickelates have recently emerged as a new family of unconventional superconductors, yet their lattice dynamics remained inaccessible to previous studies on powder and thin film samples. Here, the authors investigate phonons in bulk crystals of the infinite-layer nickelate LaNiO $_{2}$ using time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering and density functional perturbation theory. These findings provide a quantitative benchmark for the lattice dynamics of LaNiO $_{2}$ and lay the groundwork for exploring possible links between phonons and electronic properties in this material family.

Higher Chern bands in helical homotrilayer transition metal dichalcogenides

Jungho Daniel Choi, Nicolás Morales-Durán, Yves H. Kwan, Andrew J. Millis, Nicolas Regnault, and Daniele Guerci

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205122 (2025) - Published 19 November, 2025

Band topology, as encoded by the Chern number calculated from the quantum geometry (wavefunction overlap) of electronic states, is implicated in many interesting electronic behaviors. Many examples of bands with Chern number $C = \pm 1$ are known. The authors show here, using a single-particle model with parameters appropriate for MoTe $_{2}$ , that helically twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homotrilayers may exhibit a highest-energy band with Chern number 2 that is tunable via displacement field and persists beyond the single-particle approximation.

Digital quantum simulation of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid

Seongjun Park and Eun-Gook Moon

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205123 (2025) - Published 19 November, 2025

The authors present here a digital quantum simulation protocol that prepares and manipulates the ground and excited states of the Kitaev quantum spin liquid. The protocol is based on a two-step unitary decomposition that separates the fermionic rotations within a fixed gauge sector from operations that change the gauge field. Implemented on a superconducting quantum processor, it successfully prepares the ground state and controls the excitations of the Kitaev model.

Efficient $G W$ band structure calculations using Gaussian basis functions and application to atomically thin transition-metal dichalcogenides

Rémi Pasquier, María Camarasa-Gómez, Anna-Sophia Hehn, Daniel Hernangómez-Pérez, and Jan Wilhelm

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205130 (2025) - Published 21 November, 2025

The $G W$ approximation is the state-of-the-art Green’s function method for calculating electronic band structures beyond density functional theory. The authors present here an atomic-orbital $G W$ algorithm that enables efficient band-structure calculations for two-dimensional materials on a laptop. Implemented as an open-source module in the CP2K program, the method is orders of magnitude faster than conventional plane wave approaches, while retaining high accuracy.

Unconventional thickness scaling of coherent tunnel magnetoresistance in altermagnets

Zongmeng Yang, Xingyue Yang, Jianhua Wang, Qiang Li, Rui Peng, Ching Hua Lee, Lay Kee Ang, Jing Lu, Yee Sin Ang, and Shibo Fang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205202 (2025) - Published 5 November, 2025

In conventional ferromagnetic tunnel junctions, the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) typically increases with increasing barrier thickness under ballistic tunneling conditions. In contrast, the authors reveal here unconventional scaling behavior in altermagnetic tunnel junctions, where the TMR decreases as the barrier becomes thicker. This trend originates from spin-degenerate transmission channels inherent to altermagnets, which effectively suppress the increase of TMR with increasing barrier thickness.

Terahertz-induced population transfer between exciton complexes in monolayer ${WSe}_{2}$

Marzia Cuccu, Tommaso Venanzi, Edith Wietek, Xiaoxiao Sun, Raul Perea-Causin, Takashi Taniguchi, Kenji Watanabe, Ermin Malic, Manfred Helm, Stephan Winnerl, and Alexey Chernikov

Phys. Rev. B 112, 205302 (2025) - Published 13 November, 2025

Pulsed terahertz radiation is shown here to efficiently convert excitonic many-particle complexes in monolayer semiconductors that are primary carriers of energy and information. The conversion is induced on demand after the optical injection, occurs on picosecond time scales, and persists across a broad temperature range. This offers both access to the formation of excitonic states and can be used for their manipulation using low-energy photons. The universal nature of the approach is expected be useful for a wide range of excitonic materials.

Enhanced superconductivity via layer differentiation in the trilayer Hubbard model

Xun Liu and Mi Jiang

Phys. Rev. B 112, L201103 (2025) - Published 4 November, 2025

The multilayer cuprates host the highest superconducting transition temperature while their underlying physical mechanism remains unclear. By employing large-scale dynamical cluster quantum Monte Carlo simulations, the authors show here that the trilayer Hubbard model, with a realistic doping distribution within three layers, exhibits a higher $T_{c}$ than the single-layer model. This work also provides strong numerical evidence on the possibility of $d$ -wave superconductivity solely hosted in the inner layer.

Nonexcitonic mechanism for electronic and structural phase transitions in ${Ta}_{2} Ni {(Se, S)}_{5}$

Weichen Tang, Zhenglu Li, Cheng Chen, Yu He, and Steven G. Louie

Phys. Rev. B 112, L201106 (2025) - Published 6 November, 2025

The authors challenge a long-standing view of Ta $_{2}$ NiSe $_{5}$ as an excitonic insulator by revealing a nonexcitonic origin for its phase transitions. Using systematic density functional theory calculations across the Ta $_{2}$ Ni(Se,S) $_{5}$ series, they show that structural distortions and charge doping account for the observed metal-insulator transitions. The calculations explain measured angle-resolved photoemission spectra with excellent accuracy, reconciling conflicting experimental observations and establishing a lattice-driven mechanism for the transitions in this system.

Sensitive infrared surface photovoltage in quasiequilibrium in a layered semiconductor at low-intensity low-temperature conditions

Qiang Wan, Keming Zhao, Guohao Dong, Enting Li, Tianyu Yang, Hao Wang, Yaobo Huang, Yao Wen, Yiwei Li, Jun He, Youguo Shi, Hong Ding, and Nan Xu

Phys. Rev. B 112, L201114 (2025) - Published 17 November, 2025

The surface photovoltaic effect (SPV) is extensively utilized in optoelectronic devices including ultraviolet/infrared photodetectors, ambient light sensors, and specific solar cell configurations. It enables the conversion of light energy into electrical signals or electrical power by inducing a surface potential difference in materials upon illumination. The authors demonstrate here an ultrahigh sensitive SPV in NbSi $_{0.5}$ Te $_{2}$ under low-illumination and low-temperature conditions, while stronger infrared illumination suppresses SPV via the Dember effect. Temperature-dependent measurements reveal that the ultrahigh photoresponse arises as bulk carrier freezing at low temperatures enables minute photoexcited carriers to dominate. The work also highlights an observer effect in ARPES measurements, where the probing itself alters the system’s original state.

LETTER

Zero-flux localization: Magic flat bands via non-Abelian gauge fields

Alireza Parhizkar and Victor Galitski

Phys. Rev. B 112, L201115 (2025) - Published 19 November, 2025

Solving a longstanding puzzle, the authors give here an exact account of magic flat bands at zero net magnetic flux. They present closed-form wavefunctions and recast moiré “magic” as a special case of zero-flux localization. A single real-space criterion enforced by a non-Abelian spin field guarantees perfect flatness. Remarkably, the solution is clear enough for graduate-level homework and serves as a springboard toward strongly correlated phases in zero-flux settings.
