Local potential distribution generates edge currents in a magnetic topological insulator

G. M. Ferguson, Run Xiao, Anthony R. Richardella, Austin Kaczmarek, Nitin Samarth, and Katja C. Nowack

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075414 (2025) - Published 13 August, 2025

Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) host topologically protected edge states, yet their contribution to electronic transport remains unclear. Using scanning magnetic imaging, the authors study here the current density in an MTI at large bias, where the quantization of the conductivity tensor breaks down. In this regime, they observe enhanced current density at the sample edges coexisting with a uniform bulk current density. The authors propose a model combining the local potential distribution and chemical potential dependent magnetization that reproduces this observed behavior.

Trivalent network model for d3 transition metal dichalcogenides in the 1T structure: Holography from local constraints

Ashland Knowles and R. Ganesh

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075101 (2025) - Published 1 August, 2025

The authors propose here a network model for a class of two-dimensional materials. The links in the network represent covalent bonds. They must be placed in accordance with local constraints that arise from orbital geometry. This model explains a structural distortion that is seen across multiple materials. Remarkably, the local constraints in this model lead to a bulk-boundary mapping. This opens the door to exploring a holographic principle in real materials.

Nonadiabaticity from first principles: Exact-factorization approach for solids

Galit Cohen, Rachel Steinitz-Eliyahu, E. K. U. Gross, Sivan Refaely-Abramson, and Ryan Requist

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075102 (2025) - Published 1 August, 2025

The authors show here how nonadiabatic coupling “dresses” conventional electron-phonon and electron-multiphonon interactions. The nonadiabatic coupling springs directly from a quantum-geometric potential by applying the variational principle. Treating nonadiabatic effects perturbatively in the electron-to-nucleus mass ratio, the authors derive formulas that explicitly identify nonadiabatic contributions to electronic properties and lay the foundation for calculating them in a practical exact-factorization-based density functional framework.

Spin-charge interplay in the diluted magnetic semiconductor Na(Zn,Mn)Sb studied by multiprobe measurements and simulations

Guoqiang Zhao, Xiang Li, Shuang Yu, Hui Chen, Yong Hu, Yipeng Cai, Shengli Guo, Bo Gu, Fanlong Ning, Kenji M. Kojima, Zheng Deng, Yuqing Xing, Hong-Jun Gao, Xingjiang Zhou, Gang Su, S. Maekawa, Changqing Jin, and Yasutomo J. Uemura

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075104 (2025) - Published 4 August, 2025

Since the mid-1990s, studies of diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS) focused mainly on ferromagnetic systems, including (Ga,Mn)As and Li(Zn,Mn)As. Here, using multiprobe characterization of transport, magnetization, ARPES, STM, μSR, and simulations, the authors present a new DMS family Na(Zn,Mn)Sb and demonstrate a dynamic spin glass freezing behavior, and colossal magnetoresistance leading to a field-tuned metal insulator transition. Systematic comparisons with other ferromagnetic DMS families shed light on spin charge interplay and doping evolution of many DMS systems.

Revealing Fano resonance in the Dirac material ZrTe5 through Raman scattering

Di Cheng, Tao Jiang, Feng Zhang, Genda Gu, Liang Luo, Chuankun Huang, Boqun Song, Martin Mootz, Avinash Khatri, Joong-Mok Park, Qiang Li, Yongxin Yao, and Jigang Wang

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075108 (2025) - Published 4 August, 2025

The authors uncover a striking Fano resonance in ZrTe5 via Raman spectroscopy, uniquely linked to the B2g I phonon mode near 9 meV. This resonance, driven by strong electron–phonon coupling and quantum interference, is absent in its closely neighboring B2g II mode. First-principles calculations and temperature-dependent data reveal enhanced asymmetry with thermal tuning, offering deep insight into phonon–electron interplay in topological semimetals.

Electron-phonon coupling in correlated metals: A dynamical mean-field theory study

David J. Abramovitch, Jennifer Coulter, Sophie Beck, and Andrew Millis

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075113 (2025) - Published 7 August, 2025

Understanding how phonons affect the properties of correlated quantum materials is a fundamental issue in materials theory. Here, the authors develop a method to calculate the interaction between electrons and lattice vibrations in such materials using computational methods capable of treating entangled electrons in real materials, and apply it to paradigmatic correlated systems SrVO3 and CaCuO2. The couplings are found to differ substantially from those predicted by standard density functional methods, with the differences reflecting the underlying physics of the materials. This work sets the stage for a comprehensive approach beyond density functional theory of electron-phonon interactions in quantum materials.

Low-energy optical absorption in correlated insulators: Projected sum rules and the role of quantum geometry

Dan Mao, Juan Felipe Mendez-Valderrama, and Debanjan Chowdhury

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075116 (2025) - Published 8 August, 2025

The authors study here a low‑energy optical absorption sum rule for correlated insulators whose dynamics are governed by interactions projected to isolated (non)topological flat bands. Applying the framework to magic‑angle twisted bilayer graphene and fractional Chern insulators in theoretically solvable limits, they provide a systematic understanding of what microscopic properties control the extent to which the correlated insulators are optically “dark.”

Charge density fluctuations with enhanced superconductivity at the proposed quantum critical point of Sr0.77Ba0.23Ni2As2

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075119 (2025) - Published 8 August, 2025

Using inelastic x-ray scattering, the authors discovered enhanced charge density wave fluctuations near a proposed quantum critical point in a nonmagnetic superconductor isostructural to BaFe₂As₂, accompanied by an elevated superconducting transition temperature. This observation underscores the potential role of charge fluctuations in the emergence of superconductivity.

Non-Hermitian Hopf insulators

Daichi Nakamura and Kohei Kawabata

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075134 (2025) - Published 18 August, 2025

Non-Hermiticity ubiquitously appears in nature and enriches topological phases of matter. Extending beyond the existing K-theory framework, the authors reveal here Hopf-type topology requiring exactly two bands, intrinsic to non-Hermitian systems. Explicitly constructing prototypical models, they further demonstrate that these non-Hermitian topological phases support anomalous boundary states detachable from the bulk bands.

Many-body perturbation theory for moiré systems

Liangtao Peng, Giovanni Vignale, and Shaffique Adam

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075146 (2025) - Published 22 August, 2025

Moiré materials exhibit a rich spectrum of correlated phases, most notably superconductivity and insulating behavior driven by interactions. Existing theories often rely on mean-field approximations, which miss important correlation effects. Here, the authors build a many-body perturbation theory tailored to moiré systems, using Green’s functions to go beyond mean-field. Their approach captures symmetry-breaking states, finite-temperature transitions, and self-consistent corrections to electronic properties. This framework opens a new route to better understand how interactions shape the rich physics of moiré materials.

First-principles electron-phonon interactions with self-consistent Hubbard interaction: Application to transparent conducting oxides

Wooil Yang, Sabyasachi Tiwari, Feliciano Giustino, and Young-Woo Son

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075203 (2025) - Published 12 August, 2025

There is growing interest in first-principles approaches that unify electronic structure, lattice dynamics, and electron-phonon coupling beyond the reach of standard density functional theory. Here, the authors present a framework that combines density functional perturbation theory with self-consistent Hubbard interactions. Using transparent conducting oxides as an example, they show that this approach accurately describes electron-phonon interactions and related transport and optical properties, achieving excellent agreement with experiments, while remaining computationally efficient for precise and realistic predictions across a broad range of materials.

Aharonov-Bohm and Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak oscillations in the quasiballistic regime in phase-pure GaAs/InAs core/shell nanowires

Farah Basarić, Vladan Brajović, Gerrit Behner, Kristof Moors, William Schaarman, Andrei Manolescu, Raghavendra Juluri, Ana M. Sanchez, Jin Hee Bae, Hans Lüth, Detlev Grützmacher, Alexander Pawlis, and Thomas Schäpers

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075301 (2025) - Published 1 August, 2025

High crystal quality core/shell GaAs/InAs nanowires offer the advantage of confined tubular electronic states and reduced scattering. These properties make them a promising platform for hybrid superconducting quantum devices. To better understand the different transport contributions, gate- and temperature-dependent conductance oscillations are discussed here. Based on these experiments and theoretical transport calculations, the authors conclude that the conducting states in the shell are in the quasiballistic transport regime with few scattering centers. Nevertheless, Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak corrections dominate at small magnetic fields.

Gate-tunable enhancement of supercurrent in hybrid planar Josephson junctions

Peng Yu, Han Fu, William F. Schiela, William Strickland, Bassel Heiba Elfeky, S. M. Farzaneh, Jacob Issokson, Enrico Rossi, and Javad Shabani

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075419 (2025) - Published 18 August, 2025

Engineering superconducting proximity effect can lead to major device functionalities as well as to the enhancement of the topological superconductivity gap. Here, the authors provide a new superconducting lead geometry that reshapes the Andreev bound states by creating gate-tunable patches within superconducting leads. The resulting supercurrent in the junction is remarkably different from that in standard plain superconducting leads. The authors attempt to understand these changes by creating a model that captures how constructive interference of Andreev bound states could lead to extra supercurrent in the Josephson junction.

Robust long-range optical pulling using a single-mode topological chiral edge state

Yaxin Li, Tiantao Qu, Xinning Yu, Lei Zhang, and Jun Chen

Phys. Rev. B 112, 075426 (2025) - Published 26 August, 2025

The authors demonstrate here robust long-range optical pulling via a single-mode topological chiral edge state. A particle-induced local gap produces evanescent modes that confine waves inside the particle, where rapid decay generates a pulling force via negative electric field intensity gradients. Unlike multimode states, the single-mode state can pull multiple particles simultaneously in one transport channel, offering structural simplicity, robustness against disorder, and enhanced potential for integration. This work provides a new mechanism to particle manipulation using topological chiral edge states.

There is growing interest in first-principles approaches that unify electronic structure, lattice dynamics, and electron-phonon coupling beyond the reach of standard density functional theory. Here, the authors present a framework that combines density functional perturbation theory with self-consistent Hubbard interactions. Using transparent conducting oxides as an example, they show that this approach accurately describes electron-phonon interactions and related transport and optical properties, achieving excellent agreement with experiments, while remaining computationally efficient for precise and realistic predictions across a broad range of materials.

High crystal quality core/shell GaAs/InAs nanowires offer the advantage of confined tubular electronic states and reduced scattering. These properties make them a promising platform for hybrid superconducting quantum devices. To better understand the different transport contributions, gate- and temperature-dependent conductance oscillations are discussed here. Based on these experiments and theoretical transport calculations, the authors conclude that the conducting states in the shell are in the quasiballistic transport regime with few scattering centers. Nevertheless, Altshuler-Aronov-Spivak corrections dominate at small magnetic fields.

Magnetic topological insulators (MTIs) host topologically protected edge states, yet their contribution to electronic transport remains unclear. Using scanning magnetic imaging, the authors study here the current density in an MTI at large bias, where the quantization of the conductivity tensor breaks down. In this regime, they observe enhanced current density at the sample edges coexisting with a uniform bulk current density. The authors propose a model combining the local potential distribution and chemical potential dependent magnetization that reproduces this observed behavior.

Engineering superconducting proximity effect can lead to major device functionalities as well as to the enhancement of the topological superconductivity gap. Here, the authors provide a new superconducting lead geometry that reshapes the Andreev bound states by creating gate-tunable patches within superconducting leads. The resulting supercurrent in the junction is remarkably different from that in standard plain superconducting leads. The authors attempt to understand these changes by creating a model that captures how constructive interference of Andreev bound states could lead to extra supercurrent in the Josephson junction.

The authors demonstrate here robust long-range optical pulling via a single-mode topological chiral edge state. A particle-induced local gap produces evanescent modes that confine waves inside the particle, where rapid decay generates a pulling force via negative electric field intensity gradients. Unlike multimode states, the single-mode state can pull multiple particles simultaneously in one transport channel, offering structural simplicity, robustness against disorder, and enhanced potential for integration. This work provides a new mechanism to particle manipulation using topological chiral edge states.
