Advancing excited-state properties of two-dimensional materials using a dielectric-dependent hybrid functional

Arghya Ghosh, Subrata Jana, Manoar Hossain, Dimple Rani, Szymon Śmiga, and Prasanjit Samal

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045128 (2025) - Published 16 July, 2025

The authors present here a first-principles framework based on dielectric-dependent hybrid functionals to accurately predict band gaps and optical properties of two-dimensional van der Waals materials and their heterostructures. This efficient approach rivals the accuracy of many- body perturbation methods at significantly reduced computational cost. The work lays a robust foundation for advancing theoretical and experimental exploration of excited-state phenomena in novel materials, paving the way for next-generation optoelectronic applications.

Stability of Majorana modes in Coulomb-disordered topological insulator nanowires

Leonard Kaufhold and Achim Rosch

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045310 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

Majorana zero modes are a promising building block for fault-tolerant qubits. Hybrid nanowires made from a topological insulator in contact with a superconductor are a strong candidate to host them. Here, the authors address a key challenge of this platform: charged impurities. Using extensive numerical simulations, they show that due to an efficient screening of Coulomb disorder by the superconductor and the dielectric environment, robust Majorana modes can be obtained for realistic levels of disorder.

Efficient periodic density functional theory calculations of charged molecules and surfaces using Coulomb kernel truncation

Sudarshan Vijay, Martin Schlipf, Henrique Miranda, Ferenc Karsai, Merzuk Kaltak, Martijn Marsman, and Georg Kresse

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045409 (2025) - Published 10 July, 2025

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of charged molecules and surfaces are critical to applications in electrocatalysis, energy materials, and related fields of materials science. DFT implementations such as the Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) compute the electrostatic potential under 3D periodic boundary conditions, necessitating charge neutrality. Here, the authors implement 0D and 2D periodic boundary conditions using the Coulomb kernel truncation method to facilitate DFT calculations of charged molecules and surfaces respectively. By combining the Coulomb kernel truncation method with a computationally efficient padding approach, the authors remove nonphysical potentials from vacuum in 0D and 2D systems.

Anomalies in G and 2D Raman modes of twisted bilayer graphene near the magic angle

Darshit Solanki, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, A. K. Sood, and Anindya Das

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045412 (2025) - Published 11 July, 2025

This study shows that twist angle controls phonon behaviour in bilayer graphene near the magic angle. Using micro‑Raman spectroscopy on samples with twist angles from 0.3° to 3°, the authors find here that the G mode splits into two bands near 1° due to moiré potential-induced phonon hybridization. The linewidths of the G⁻ and 2D modes broaden at the magic angle, driven by flat band-enhanced electron-phonon coupling. Temperature‑dependent Raman measurements of the ~1° sample reveal a tenfold increase in anharmonicity compared to Bernal bilayer graphene.

Incipient quantum spin Hall insulator under strong correlations

Peizhi Mai, Jinchao Zhao, and Philip W. Phillips

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041116 (2025) - Published 15 July, 2025

Using determinantal quantum Monte Carlo, the authors show here that magnetic fluctuations overturn mean-field predictions of a Chern insulator in the interacting Kane–Mele model with a sublattice potential. XY antiferromagnetic correlations prevail at low temperature, stabilizing a quantum spin Hall phase across a wide parameter range, consistent with robust quantum spin Hall effects observed in moiré transition metal dichalcogenides at even-integer fillings.

Non-Fermi liquid transport and strong mass enhancement near the nematic quantum critical point in FeSexTe1x thin films

Yuki Sato, Soma Nagahama, Ilya Belopolski, Ryutaro Yoshimi, Minoru Kawamura, Atsushi Tsukazaki, Akiyoshi Yamada, Masashi Tokunaga, Naoya Kanazawa, Kei S. Takahashi, Yoshichika Ōnuki, Masashi Kawasaki, and Yoshinori Tokura

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041121 (2025) - Published 22 July, 2025

The influence of nematic fluctuations on normal-state transport and superconductivity remains a central question in strongly correlated materials. This study investigates electric and thermoelectric transport in Fe(Se,Te) thin films, which host a pure nematic quantum critical point (NQCP). Near the NQCP, the authors observe hallmark non-Fermi liquid behavior alongside a strongly enhanced superconducting Maki parameter, pointing to pronounced mass renormalization. These findings highlight the essential role of nematic fluctuations in both quantum critical and superconducting properties.

Interplay of d- and p-states in RbTi3Bi5 and CsTi3Bi5 flat-band kagome metals

M. Wenzel, E. Uykur, A. A. Tsirlin, A. N. Capa Salinas, B. R. Ortiz, S. D. Wilson, and M. Dressel

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041122 (2025) - Published 22 July, 2025

Broadband infrared spectroscopy and ab initio calculations for RbTi3Bi5 and CsTi3Bi5 offer novel insights into kagome metal physics at low band filling. The study uncovers an intricate interplay between Bi p states, forming a tilted Dirac crossing, enhanced electronic correlations from Ti flat bands near the Fermi level, and anomalies in electron-phonon coupling that can be paralleled to the onset of nematicity.

Decoupling of static and dynamic charge correlations revealed by uniaxial strain in a cuprate superconductor

L. Martinelli, I. Biało, X. Hong, J. Oppliger, C. Lin, T. Schaller, J. Küspert, M. H. Fischer, T. Kurosawa, N. Momono, M. Oda, D. V. Novikov, A. Khadiev, E. Weschke, J. Choi, S. Agrestini, M. Garcia-Fernandez, Ke-Jin Zhou, Q. Wang, and J. Chang

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041124 (2025) - Published 28 July, 2025

The anomalous softening of the high-energy phonon modes in cuprate superconductors has remained puzzling for two decades. The authors address the problem here by using uniaxial strain with high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering on La1.875Sr0.125CuO4. Detwinning stripe order, they demonstrate that the phonon anomalies and the fluctuations of charge order retain an in-plane four-fold symmetry, suggesting a causal relationship between the two. The decoupling of the finite-energy fluctuations from the strength of the static order suggests closeness to a quantum critical point.

Tunable altermagnetism via interchain engineering in parallel-assembled atomic chains

Deping Guo, Canbo Zong, Weihan Zhang, Cong Wang, Junwei Liu, and Wei Ji

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041404 (2025) - Published 18 July, 2025

The authors demonstrate here the existence of altermagnetism in quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) systems by assembling single-atomic magnetic chains into monolayers. Through systematic symmetry analysis and high-throughput calculations, they identify four altermagnetic prototypes and predict eight dynamically stable Q1D monolayers, including three intrinsic and five extrinsic candidates. The interchain spacing and external electric fields enable tunable spin splitting. These findings establish a highly versatile family of Q1D altermagnets with anisotropic interactions, offering new avenues for designing low-dimensional spintronic devices.

Orbital origin of fourfold anisotropic magnetoresistance in Dirac materials

Daifeng Tu, Can Wang, and Jianhui Zhou

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041405 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

The underlying mechanisms of ubiquitous fourfold anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) in quantum materials remain poorly understood. Here, the authors find the unusual fourfold AMR due to the intrinsic orbital magnetic moment of electrons and quantitatively explain fourfold AMR and its anomalous evolution of AMR with the magnetic fields in both bismuth and MnBi2Te4. This work highlights the significance of the orbital magnetic moment in magneto-transport, inspiring more investigations of intriguing quantum phenomena associated with the orbital magnetism.

Anisotropic moiré band flattening in twisted bilayers of M-valley MXenes

Kejie Bao, Huan Wang, Zhaochen Liu, and Jing Wang

Phys. Rev. B 112, L041406 (2025) - Published 29 July, 2025

The authors introduce semiconducting MXenes, such as Ti2CO2, as a new platform for M-valley moiré materials. Large-scale ab initio calculations showed that their twisted homobilayer features three symmetry related M valleys and giant anisotropic band flattening, which serve as a platform to realize higher-dimensional generalization of Luttinger liquid and non-Fermi liquid behavior. This research broadens the scope of moiré materials, where the valley- and spin-degenerate two-dimensional array of quasi-one-dimensional system could serve as a potential platform for realizing interesting correlated phases.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045310 (2025) - Published 21 July, 2025

Majorana zero modes are a promising building block for fault-tolerant qubits. Hybrid nanowires made from a topological insulator in contact with a superconductor are a strong candidate to host them. Here, the authors address a key challenge of this platform: charged impurities. Using extensive numerical simulations, they show that due to an efficient screening of Coulomb disorder by the superconductor and the dielectric environment, robust Majorana modes can be obtained for realistic levels of disorder.

Efficient periodic density functional theory calculations of charged molecules and surfaces using Coulomb kernel truncation

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045409 (2025) - Published 10 July, 2025

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of charged molecules and surfaces are critical to applications in electrocatalysis, energy materials, and related fields of materials science. DFT implementations such as the Vienna ab initio Simulation Package (VASP) compute the electrostatic potential under 3D periodic boundary conditions, necessitating charge neutrality. Here, the authors implement 0D and 2D periodic boundary conditions using the Coulomb kernel truncation method to facilitate DFT calculations of charged molecules and surfaces respectively. By combining the Coulomb kernel truncation method with a computationally efficient padding approach, the authors remove nonphysical potentials from vacuum in 0D and 2D systems.

Phys. Rev. B 112, 045412 (2025) - Published 11 July, 2025

This study shows that twist angle controls phonon behaviour in bilayer graphene near the magic angle. Using micro‑Raman spectroscopy on samples with twist angles from 0.3° to 3°, the authors find here that the G mode splits into two bands near 1° due to moiré potential-induced phonon hybridization. The linewidths of the G⁻ and 2D modes broaden at the magic angle, driven by flat band-enhanced electron-phonon coupling. Temperature‑dependent Raman measurements of the ~1° sample reveal a tenfold increase in anharmonicity compared to Bernal bilayer graphene.
