Fermi-surface driven frustrations in charge ordered kagome metal LuNb6Sn6

F. Z. Yang, X. Huang, Hengxin Tan, A. Kundu, S. Kim, M. Thinel, J. Ingham, A. Rajapitamahuni, Y. Q. Cai, C. Nelson, E. Vescovo, W. R. Meier, D. Mandrus, B. R. Ortiz, A. N. Pasupathy, Binghai Yan, and H. Miao

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245113 (2025) - Published 5 December, 2025

Electron scattering near the Fermi surface strongly reshapes lattice dynamics in quantum materials (see image). By combining real- and momentum-space measurements and first-principle calculations, the authors uncover charge density wave formation in the kagome metal LuNb6Sn6. The Fermi surface topology generates frustrated charge correlations near 𝐐H that evade ordering, enabled by the complete softening of a flat phonon over wide momenta.

Third-order strong-coupling impurity solver for real-frequency dynamical mean field theory: Accurate spectral functions for antiferromagnetic and photodoped states

Lei Geng, Aaram J. Kim, and Philipp Werner

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245119 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

Strong-coupling expansions for impurity models up to third order are implemented here on the real-time axis using a quantics tensor cross interpolation framework. This approach provides an accurate impurity solver that can describe both equilibrium systems and nonequilibrium steady states in the intermediate to strong-interaction regime.

Kinetic magnetism in the crossover between the square and triangular lattice Fermi-Hubbard models

Darren Pereira and Erich J. Mueller

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245120 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

The ground state of the hard-core Fermi-Hubbard model with a single hole (and otherwise half-filled) is a ferromagnet on the square lattice, but an antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice, as those spin patterns minimize the kinetic energy of the hole. What is the magnetic behavior as one interpolates between these two geometries? Using a sophisticated quantum Monte Carlo algorithm, the authors determine here the magnetic correlations as the lattice is varied. Their calculations are performed in the thermodynamic limit and at temperatures comparable to current cold-atom experiments. They find a magnetic crossover between the two geometries, and calculate signatures of it that are observable in these experiments.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in open quantum systems: Strong, weak, and strong-to-weak

Ding Gu, Zijian Wang, and Zhong Wang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245123 (2025) - Published 9 December, 2025

The authors systematically unravel here the physical consequences of spontaneous symmetry breaking in open quantum systems. They elucidate three scenarios: weak symmetry breaking, which leads to time-crystalline order; strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, which universally generates a gapless Goldstone mode for charge diffusion; and the complete breaking of strong symmetry, characterized by two Goldstone modes that govern order-parameter fluctuations and conserved-charge diffusion, respectively. This work establishes a theoretical framework for characterizing symmetry breaking in open quantum matter.

Many-body electronic structure in the pyrochlore superconductor CsBi2 and spin-liquid candidate Pr2Ir2O7

Wei Song et al.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245131 (2025) - Published 12 December, 2025

The authors present here the first atomic-scale investigation of the pyrochlore superconductor CsBi2 and the spin liquid Pr2Ir2O7 using scanning tunneling microscopy at 300 mK. The many-body electronic structure, including strong-coupling superconductivity and homogeneous Kondo-lattice resonance, are imaged. They further find unusual excitations, including vortex core states with threefold symmetry and site-dependent Zeeman splitting of the Kondo resonance, which provide atomic insight into the interplay between geometrical frustration and many-body phenomena in this pyrochlore lattice.

Perturbative renormalization group approach to magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene using topological heavy fermion model

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

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245132 (2025) - Published 12 December, 2025

The authors present here a renormalization group analysis of the topological heavy fermion model in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. In the energy regime where interactions and hybridization compete, renormalization drives the system toward the chiral limit, lowering the effective interaction strength relative to hybridization. This work bridges the Kondo-like and Mott semimetal scenarios, providing a foundation for modeling the low-energy physics of strongly correlated moiré flat bands.

Quantum oscillations reveal sixfold fermions in cubic βPtBi2

E. F. Bavaro, J. Castro, V. Vildosola, J. I. Facio, and V. F. Correa

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245136 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

High-resolution de Haas–-van Alphen measurements on cubic β-PtBi2, combined with fully relativistic density functional calculations, reveal quantum oscillations arising from a symmetry-enforced sixfold band touching at the Brillouin zone corner. Three small electron pockets derived from this degeneracy, lying ~25 meV below the Fermi level, are identified through their low oscillation frequencies and angular dependence. These results provide bulk evidence for sixfold fermions in β-PtBi2, bridging ARPES observations and theory and establishing a robust platform for multifold quasiparticles.

Non-Abelian fractional Chern insulator on a hyperbolic lattice

Ai-Lei He, Lu Qi, Wei-Wei Luo, and Yongjun Liu

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245140 (2025) - Published 16 December, 2025

The authors provide here convincing evidence for a non-Abelian fractional Chern insulator (FCI) state in a hyperbolic lattice. This state is characterized by the edge excitation spectra,the angular momentum of the ground state, and the trial wave functions constructed based on the generalized Pauli principle and Jack polynomials. A high value of the overlap between trial wave functions and exactly numerical results not only demonstrates the hyperbolic non-Abelian FCI state, but also reveals the geometric degree of freedom in this state.

Field-induced anomaly in the anisotropic non-Fermi-liquid normal state of UBe13

Yusei Shimizu, Shunichiro Kittaka, Yohei Kono, Shota Nakamura, Yoshinori Haga, Etsuji Yamamoto, Kazushige Machida, Hiroshi Amitsuka, and Toshiro Sakakibara

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245157 (2025) - Published 23 December, 2025

The heavy-fermion superconductor UBe13, emerging from an extremely correlated non-Fermi liquid state, remains a compelling candidate for spin-triplet superconductivity. Using single-crystal and very low-temperature thermodynamic probes, the authors report here an unusual superconducting and normal-state phase diagram, with anomalies due to anisotropic Fermi surface reconstruction. Moreover, high-resolution magnetization measurements uncover a hidden fifth-order magnetic susceptibility that reveals an unexpected interplay between multipolar effects and Fermi surface reconstruction in this compound. These findings provide new insights into spin-triplet pairing in enigmatic 5f electron systems.

Influence of local strain on the optical probing of a Ni2+ spin in a charged self-assembled epitaxial quantum dot

K. E. Połczyńska, S. Karouaz, W. Pacuski, and L. Besombes

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245301 (2025) - Published 1 December, 2025

This study uncovers how local strain reshapes the spin landscape of a single Ni2+ ion (S=1) embedded in a charged semiconductor quantum dot. It reveals how strain anisotropy, spin–carrier exchange, and subtle symmetry breaking create rich optical signatures – offering new pathways to probe, model, and control individual spins for quantum technologies.

First-principles calculations of thermal transport at metal/silicon interfaces: Evidence of interfacial electron-phonon coupling

Michael De San Féliciano, Christophe Adessi, Julien El Hajj, Nicolas Horny, François Detcheverry, Manuel Cobian, and Samy Merabia

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245303 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

Thermal transport at metal/semiconductor interfaces is important for management of microelectronic devices. At these interfaces, heat transfer is generally described in terms of phonon transmission and a coupling between metal’s electrons and phonons in the semiconductor is believed to have a negligible impact. Here, the authors show that the interface electron-phonon coupling may amount to one third of the total thermal boundary conductance. First-principle calculations reveal that the controlling parameter is the metal’s Debye frequency, and high Debye frequency favors electron-phonon coupling at the interface.

Strain gradient engineered flexophotovoltaics and spin polarization in bent MoSi2N4 nanoribbons

Helong Chen, Meng Ge, Yang Xiao, Degao Xu, Jianing Tan, and Gang Ouyang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245407 (2025) - Published 5 December, 2025

The authors demonstrate here that strain-gradient engineering in bent MoSi2N4 nanoribbons induces not only self-doping and a nonzero Berry curvature dipole, but also achieves an outstanding flexoelectric power conversion efficiency of 9.05%, the highest among 2D flexophotovoltaic systems. Under circularly polarized light, the bent MoSi2N4 photodetector generates a self-powered spin photocurrent. These results advance the fundamental understanding of mechanical-electronic coupling in 2D materials and highlight the potential of MoSi2N4 for high-efficiency solar cells, optoelectronics, and spintronic applications.

Contrasting exchange-field and spin-transfer torque driving mechanisms in all-electric electron spin resonance

Jose Reina-Gálvez, Matyas Nachtigall, Nicolás Lorente, Jan Martinek, and Christoph Wolf

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245408 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

The authors identify here two distinct mechanisms that drive electron spin resonance in STM-based electric field control. Using a single-orbital Anderson impurity coupled to polarized leads via time-dependent hopping, the authors map the master equation onto effective spin dynamics and show that exchange-driven field-like torque dominates for DC voltages below the charging threshold, enabling coherent spin control and homodyne detection. Above threshold, spin transfer torque from spin-polarized current drives the spin but causes rapid decoherence. The contrasting regimes highlight strategies for optimizing coherence in electrically driven quantum systems.

Giant shift current in electrically tunable superlattice bilayer graphene

Nabil Atlam, Swati Chaudhary, Arpit Raj, Matthew Matzelle, Barun Ghosh, Gregory A. Fiete, and Arun Bansil

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245409 (2025) - Published 9 December, 2025

The bulk photogalvanic effect generates direct electrical current from incident light. Here, the authors demonstrate that a bilayer graphene film with an imprinted electric superlattice potential can produce a large and tunable photogalvanic current that surpasses previous predictions for twisted bilayer graphene. This response occurs in the far-infrared regime and it can be electrically controlled by tuning both the displacement field and the superlattice moiré potential strength, opening new pathways for applications including infrared sensors and detectors.

Electronic structure of monolayer CrTe2: An antiferromagnetic two-dimensional van der Waals material

Olivia Armitage, Naina Kushwaha, Akhil Rajan, Luke C. Rhodes, Sebastian Buchberger, Bruno Kenichi Saika, Shu Mo, Matthew D. Watson, Phil D. C. King, and Peter Wahl

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245416 (2025) - Published 16 December, 2025

By combining angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with quasiparticle interference imaging, the authors establish here the electronic structure and magnetic ground state of monolayer CrTe2. Comparison with density functional theory calculations shows that inclusion of a moderate on-site Coulomb interaction is required to accurately capture the band structure. The work demonstrates how momentum- and real-space spectroscopies together resolve the electronic structure, magnetism and correlations in two-dimensional van der Waals materials.

Joint control of coherent transmission, reflection, and absorption

Shiyu Li, Dongha Kim, Shanhui Fan, and Cheng Guo

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245421 (2025) - Published 18 December, 2025

The authors present here a comprehensive theory for joint coherent control, addressing the challenge of simultaneously manipulating multiple wave properties. Using transmission, reflection, and absorption as illustrative examples, they show that the numerical range provides the underlying mathematical structure governing achievable responses and reveal non-Abelian effects arising from noncommutativity. They further provide a constructive algorithm to realize arbitrary admissible responses. Broadly applicable across wave types and physical observables, this theory underpins applications requiring precise control over multiple wave characteristics.

Quadrature for the generalized hydrodynamics equation and absence of shocks in the Lieb-Liniger model

Friedrich Hübner and Benjamin Doyon

Phys. Rev. B 112, L241101 (2025) - Published 1 December, 2025

The authors develop here a new quadrature to solve the hydrodynamic equations of integrable models (called generalized hydrodynamics). Using this, the authors analytically prove the absence of shock formation in the Lieb-Liniger model, which had previously been conjectured based on experimental and numerical results. In addition, the quadrature also provides a new efficient algorithm to solve the generalized hydrodynamics equation, and new explicit formulas for the evolution of correlation functions.

Pristine and pseudogapped boundaries of deconfined quantum critical points

Nayan Myerson-Jain, Xiao-Chuan Wu, and Cenke Xu

Phys. Rev. B 112, L241110 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

Bulk topology and criticality can each give rise to nontrivial boundary phenomena. This work shows that their interplay, at unconventional quantum critical points between a quantum spin Hall insulator and a superconductor, produces an unexpectedly rich landscape of edge states. In addition to the usual quantum spin Hall edge modes, the authors identify novel “pseudogapped” chiral fermions, characterized by a strongly suppressed spectral function and super–power-law decay of the Green’s function.

Lattice thermal transport beyond the quasiparticle approximation: Nontrivial spectral competition between three- and four-phonon interactions

Yi Xia

Phys. Rev. B 112, L241201 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

The authors develop here a first-principles framework beyond the quasiparticle approximation (BQPA) incorporating three- and four-phonon interactions. By applying this to MgO, PbTe, and AgCl, they reveal a nontrivial spectral competition where three-phonon softening is counteracted by four-phonon hardening. This cancellation brings BQPA thermal conductivity predictions into unexpectedly close agreement with standard quasiparticle results, highlighting the necessity of treating both full spectral functions and higher-order anharmonicity on equal footing for accurate modeling.

Edge dependence of the supercurrent in the quantum Hall regime

Seong Jang, Geon-Hyoung Park, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, and Gil-Ho Lee

Phys. Rev. B 112, L241401 (2025) - Published 1 December, 2025

The authors show here that the supercurrent in graphene Josephson junctions under quantum Hall conditions is strictly mediated by physical edges. By comparing native, etched, edge-free, and gate-defined geometries, they find that the Josephson coupling disappears without edges and reemerges only when edge conduction is restored. This demonstrates that the supercurrent originates from Andreev bound states formed by paired upstream and downstream modes along the edges, highlighting edge engineering as a key strategy for realizing hybrid topological superconductivity in quantum Hall systems.

This approach provides an accurate impurity solver that can describe both equilibrium systems and nonequilibrium steady states in the intermediate to strong-interaction regime.

Kinetic magnetism in the crossover between the square and triangular lattice Fermi-Hubbard models

Darren Pereira and Erich J. Mueller

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245120 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

The ground state of the hard-core Fermi-Hubbard model with a single hole (and otherwise half-filled) is a ferromagnet on the square lattice, but an antiferromagnet on the triangular lattice, as those spin patterns minimize the kinetic energy of the hole. What is the magnetic behavior as one interpolates between these two geometries? Using a sophisticated quantum Monte Carlo algorithm, the authors determine here the magnetic correlations as the lattice is varied. Their calculations are performed in the thermodynamic limit and at temperatures comparable to current cold-atom experiments. They find a magnetic crossover between the two geometries, and calculate signatures of it that are observable in these experiments.

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in open quantum systems: Strong, weak, and strong-to-weak

Ding Gu, Zijian Wang, and Zhong Wang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245123 (2025) - Published 9 December, 2025

The authors systematically unravel here the physical consequences of spontaneous symmetry breaking in open quantum systems. They elucidate three scenarios: weak symmetry breaking, which leads to time-crystalline order; strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, which universally generates a gapless Goldstone mode for charge diffusion; and the complete breaking of strong symmetry, characterized by two Goldstone modes that govern order-parameter fluctuations and conserved-charge diffusion, respectively. This work establishes a theoretical framework for characterizing symmetry breaking in open quantum matter.

The authors present here the first atomic-scale investigation of the pyrochlore superconductor CsBi2 and the spin liquid Pr2Ir2O7 using scanning tunneling microscopy at 300 mK. The many-body electronic structure, including strong-coupling superconductivity and homogeneous Kondo-lattice resonance, are imaged. They further find unusual excitations, including vortex core states with threefold symmetry and site-dependent Zeeman splitting of the Kondo resonance, which provide atomic insight into the interplay between geometrical frustration and many-body phenomena in this pyrochlore lattice.

Perturbative renormalization group approach to magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene using topological heavy fermion model

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245132 (2025) - Published 12 December, 2025

The authors present here a renormalization group analysis of the topological heavy fermion model in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene. In the energy regime where interactions and hybridization compete, renormalization drives the system toward the chiral limit, lowering the effective interaction strength relative to hybridization. This work bridges the Kondo-like and Mott semimetal scenarios, providing a foundation for modeling the low-energy physics of strongly correlated moiré flat bands.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245136 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

High-resolution de Haas–-van Alphen measurements on cubic β-PtBi2, combined with fully relativistic density functional calculations, reveal quantum oscillations arising from a symmetry-enforced sixfold band touching at the Brillouin zone corner. Three small electron pockets derived from this degeneracy, lying ~25 meV below the Fermi level, are identified through their low oscillation frequencies and angular dependence. These results provide bulk evidence for sixfold fermions in β-PtBi2, bridging ARPES observations and theory and establishing a robust platform for multifold quasiparticles.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245140 (2025) - Published 16 December, 2025

The authors provide here convincing evidence for a non-Abelian fractional Chern insulator (FCI) state in a hyperbolic lattice. This state is characterized by the edge excitation spectra,the angular momentum of the ground state, and the trial wave functions constructed based on the generalized Pauli principle and Jack polynomials. A high value of the overlap between trial wave functions and exactly numerical results not only demonstrates the hyperbolic non-Abelian FCI state, but also reveals the geometric degree of freedom in this state.

The heavy-fermion superconductor UBe13, emerging from an extremely correlated non-Fermi liquid state, remains a compelling candidate for spin-triplet superconductivity. Using single-crystal and very low-temperature thermodynamic probes, the authors report here an unusual superconducting and normal-state phase diagram, with anomalies due to anisotropic Fermi surface reconstruction. Moreover, high-resolution magnetization measurements uncover a hidden fifth-order magnetic susceptibility that reveals an unexpected interplay between multipolar effects and Fermi surface reconstruction in this compound. These findings provide new insights into spin-triplet pairing in enigmatic 5f electron systems.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245303 (2025) - Published 15 December, 2025

Thermal transport at metal/semiconductor interfaces is important for management of microelectronic devices. At these interfaces, heat transfer is generally described in terms of phonon transmission and a coupling between metal’s electrons and phonons in the semiconductor is believed to have a negligible impact. Here, the authors show that the interface electron-phonon coupling may amount to one third of the total thermal boundary conductance. First-principle calculations reveal that the controlling parameter is the metal’s Debye frequency, and high Debye frequency favors electron-phonon coupling at the interface.

The authors demonstrate here that strain-gradient engineering in bent MoSi2N4 nanoribbons induces not only self-doping and a nonzero Berry curvature dipole, but also achieves an outstanding flexoelectric power conversion efficiency of 9.05%, the highest among 2D flexophotovoltaic systems. Under circularly polarized light, the bent MoSi2N4 photodetector generates a self-powered spin photocurrent. These results advance the fundamental understanding of mechanical-electronic coupling in 2D materials and highlight the potential of MoSi2N4 for high-efficiency solar cells, optoelectronics, and spintronic applications.

Contrasting exchange-field and spin-transfer torque driving mechanisms in all-electric electron spin resonance

Jose Reina-Gálvez, Matyas Nachtigall, Nicolás Lorente, Jan Martinek, and Christoph Wolf

Phys. Rev. B 112, 245408 (2025) - Published 8 December, 2025

The authors identify here two distinct mechanisms that drive electron spin resonance in STM-based electric field control. Using a single-orbital Anderson impurity coupled to polarized leads via time-dependent hopping, the authors map the master equation onto effective spin dynamics and show that exchange-driven field-like torque dominates for DC voltages below the charging threshold, enabling coherent spin control and homodyne detection. Above threshold, spin transfer torque from spin-polarized current drives the spin but causes rapid decoherence. The contrasting regimes highlight strategies for optimizing coherence in electrically driven quantum systems.

The authors present here a comprehensive theory for joint coherent control, addressing the challenge of simultaneously manipulating multiple wave properties. Using transmission, reflection, and absorption as illustrative examples, they show that the numerical range provides the underlying mathematical structure governing achievable responses and reveal non-Abelian effects arising from noncommutativity. They further provide a constructive algorithm to realize arbitrary admissible responses. Broadly applicable across wave types and physical observables, this theory underpins applications requiring precise control over multiple wave characteristics.
