Absence of thermalization after a local quench and strong violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

Peter Reimann and Christian Eidecker-Dunkel

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144304 (2026) - Published 6 April, 2026

Although thermalization is ubiquitous in nature, most theoretical studies rely on some unproven assumptions like the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis. Here, the authors rigorously show the absence of thermalization in a paradigmatic class of integrable spin chain models by solely employing the basic laws of quantum mechanics. Likewise, the occurrence of thermalization is provable after very minor, integrability preserving changes of some model parameters. In conclusion it seems unlikely that there exist simple general, and reliable thermalization criteria.

Generation of volume-law entanglement by local-measurement-only quantum dynamics

Surajit Bera, Igor V. Gornyi, Sumilan Banerjee, and Yuval Gefen

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144309 (2026) - Published 15 April, 2026

Entanglement and measurements are perceived as antagonistic, since local measurements typically degrade entanglement within a quantum system by entangling the external observer with a part of the system. Addressing a many-body system, the authors show here that the observer can selectively generate genuine large multipartite entanglement (even volume-law entanglement entropy) through repeated quasilocal measurements, employing a set of spectators (ancillas). Intriguingly, the spectators only act as entanglement mediators while remaining unentangled or weakly entangled with the system throughout the entire dynamical process of entanglement generation.

Magnetic ordering in out-of-plane artificial spin systems based on Archimedean lattices

A. Pac, G. M. Macauley, J. R. Massey, A. Kurenkov, F. Mila, P. M. Derlet, and L. J. Heyderman

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144403 (2026) - Published 2 April, 2026

Artificial spin systems based on Archimedean lattices of out-of-plane nanomagnets are investigated here, revealing how lattice geometry and long-range interactions govern magnetic ordering. The magnetic configurations of demagnetized nanofabricated systems are imaged with magnetic force microscopy. Comparing with Monte Carlo simulations, the effective temperatures are assigned and are found to be above the transition temperatures, underscoring the challenges associated with achieving system-spanning order. The lattices are classified into three groups, highlighting diverse ordering pathways and the critical role of further-neighbor interactions.

Near-surface electronic correlation and magnetization suppression in Ni nanocrystals

Ryoga Hiraki, Kenta Akashi, Sho Otsuru, Miki Kakihara, Hirofumi Ishii, Masato Yoshimura, Masaki Imamura, Kazutoshi Takahashi, Yuji Inagaki, Tatsuya Kawae, Akira Matsuo, Koichi Kindo, Tetsuya Kida, Masashi Nantoh, and Yoichi Ishiwata

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144406 (2026) - Published 2 April, 2026

Here, the authors use variable probing depth photoemission to separate core and surface electronic states in Ni nanocrystals. Hard-x-ray spectra show metallic behavior in the interior, whereas surface-sensitive spectra reveal a strong loss of low-energy spectral weight and correlation satellites. The authors interpret this correlation enhancement as producing a magnetically inactive “dead layer”, consistent with the thickness inferred from the size dependence of the saturation magnetization. This behavior is specific to nanocrystals and is not observed on typical Ni crystal surfaces.

Hidden magnon Berry curvature drives vertical magnon transport

Atul Rathor, Sahanawaj Akhtar, and Arijit Haldar

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144426 (2026) - Published 20 April, 2026

The authors show here that quasi-two-dimensional magnetic insulators comprising a few layers are fundamentally distinct, at the quantum geometric level, from perfectly flat single-layered 2D magnets. They discover that magnon excitations in such quasi-2D insulators experience in-plane components of a bosonic symplectic Berry curvature, absent in flat 2D magnetic insulators. They call this the “hidden magnon Berry curvature” (HMBC). They propose that HMBC can generate (and be detected via) magnon transport perpendicular to the layers of van der Waals materials in response to thermal or magnetic-field gradients. Their work points toward the possibility of yet-undiscovered hidden quantum geometric transport in layered quasi-2D magnets.

Polarization-controlled supercurrent in ferroelectric Josephson junctions

Yaozu Tang, Mazhar N. Ali, Gerrit E. W. Bauer, and Yaroslav M. Blanter

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144503 (2026) - Published 10 April, 2026

Electrical control of superconductivity is a central goal for next-generation superconducting electronics. Here, the authors demonstrate polarization-tunable supercurrent in an asymmetric ferroelectric Josephson junction: reversing the ferroelectric polarization switches the junction between high- and low-critical-current states, enabling nonvolatile, low-power control of superconducting transport. This study provides an alternative route toward controllable superconducting devices without relying on magnetism, and offers theoretical insights into superconducting memory and logic applications.

Interplay between superconductivity and altermagnetism in disordered materials and heterostructures

Rodrigo de las Heras, Tim Kokkeler, Stefan Ilić, Ilya V. Tokatly, and F. Sebastian Bergeret

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144516 (2026) - Published 30 April, 2026

Superconductivity and altermagnetism are distinct states of matter, both characterized by zero net magnetization. The authors show here that when these two orders coexist in heterostructures, their interplay generates a finite magnetization texture in real space that reflects the symmetry of the altermagnet’s spin splitting in momentum space. This “proximity-induced magnetization” arises from singlet–triplet mixing when the superconducting order parameter varies in space, leading to nonlinear magnetoelectric effects driven by supercurrents, as well as tunable 0π transitions in Josephson junctions.

Fabry-Pérot quasinormal modes for topological edge states

Marc Martí Sabaté, Benjamin Vial, Richard Wiltshaw, Sébastien Guenneau, and Richard V. Craster

Phys. Rev. B 113, L140102 (2026) - Published 20 April, 2026

Topological edge states are typically described using infinite periodic models, yet real devices are finite and open. Here, the authors develop a quasinormal mode framework to characterize quantum valley Hall edge states in finite systems. They show that these states form a discrete complex spectrum analogous to a dispersive Fabry–Pérot system. This approach provides physical insight into topological waveguiding and offers a powerful framework for analysing finite topological devices.

Shang Gao, Chris Pasco, Otkur Omar, Qiang Zhang, Daniel M. Pajerowski, Feng Ye, Matthias Frontzek, Andrew F. May, Matthew B. Stone, and Andrew D. Christianson

Phys. Rev. B 113, L140401 (2026) - Published 1 April, 2026

Finding new routes to realize spiral spin liquid phases remains a significant challenge. Here the authors show that strong intralayer couplings in Cs3Fe2Cl9 produce a codimension-two spiral spin liquid. The figure shows the characteristic spiral surface can be directly visualized through diffuse neutron scattering.

Probing superconductivity with tunneling spectroscopy in rhombohedral graphene

Denis Sedov and Mathias S. Scheurer

Phys. Rev. B 113, L140503 (2026) - Published 28 April, 2026

Probing the form of the order parameter of a superconductor is notoriously difficult. Here, the authors develop a general theoretical formalism to describe the tunneling current from a metal into a superconductor. They apply it to rhombohedral stacks of graphene, which were recently shown to host superconductivity emerging out of a normal state with some form of intrinsic magnetism. Multiple unusual tunneling features are predicted that could allow us to pinpoint the specific form of pairing in future tunneling experiments.

Pressure-induced reentrant superconductivity in the misfit layered compound (SnS)1.15(TaS2)

Chutong Zhang, Jiajia Feng, Xiao Tang, Xiangzhuo Xing, Na Zuo, Xiaolei Yi, Yan Meng, Xiaoran Zhang, Rajesh Kumar Ulaganathan, Raman Sankar, Xiaofeng Xu, Xin Chen, and Xiaobing Liu

Phys. Rev. B 113, L140506 (2026) - Published 29 April, 2026

Misfit layered compounds are a class of natural van der Waals heterostructures that enable bulk realizations of quasi-two-dimensional electronic states. Using pressure as a tuning knob, the authors uncover here pressure-induced reentrant superconductivity in the prototypical misfit compound (SnS)1.15(TaS2). They reveal an intimate connection between the reemergence of superconductivity and a pressure-driven electronic reconstruction, establishing pressure as an effective means to tune carrier topology and superconducting states in misfit systems.

Artificial spin systems based on Archimedean lattices of out-of-plane nanomagnets are investigated here, revealing how lattice geometry and long-range interactions govern magnetic ordering. The magnetic configurations of demagnetized nanofabricated systems are imaged with magnetic force microscopy. Comparing with Monte Carlo simulations, the effective temperatures are assigned and are found to be above the transition temperatures, underscoring the challenges associated with achieving system-spanning order. The lattices are classified into three groups, highlighting diverse ordering pathways and the critical role of further-neighbor interactions.

Phys. Rev. B 113, 144406 (2026) - Published 2 April, 2026

Here, the authors use variable probing depth photoemission to separate core and surface electronic states in Ni nanocrystals. Hard-x-ray spectra show metallic behavior in the interior, whereas surface-sensitive spectra reveal a strong loss of low-energy spectral weight and correlation satellites. The authors interpret this correlation enhancement as producing a magnetically inactive “dead layer”, consistent with the thickness inferred from the size dependence of the saturation magnetization. This behavior is specific to nanocrystals and is not observed on typical Ni crystal surfaces.

The authors show here that quasi-two-dimensional magnetic insulators comprising a few layers are fundamentally distinct, at the quantum geometric level, from perfectly flat single-layered 2D magnets. They discover that magnon excitations in such quasi-2D insulators experience in-plane components of a bosonic symplectic Berry curvature, absent in flat 2D magnetic insulators. They call this the “hidden magnon Berry curvature” (HMBC). They propose that HMBC can generate (and be detected via) magnon transport perpendicular to the layers of van der Waals materials in response to thermal or magnetic-field gradients. Their work points toward the possibility of yet-undiscovered hidden quantum geometric transport in layered quasi-2D magnets.

Electrical control of superconductivity is a central goal for next-generation superconducting electronics. Here, the authors demonstrate polarization-tunable supercurrent in an asymmetric ferroelectric Josephson junction: reversing the ferroelectric polarization switches the junction between high- and low-critical-current states, enabling nonvolatile, low-power control of superconducting transport. This study provides an alternative route toward controllable superconducting devices without relying on magnetism, and offers theoretical insights into superconducting memory and logic applications.

Superconductivity and altermagnetism are distinct states of matter, both characterized by zero net magnetization. The authors show here that when these two orders coexist in heterostructures, their interplay generates a finite magnetization texture in real space that reflects the symmetry of the altermagnet’s spin splitting in momentum space. This “proximity-induced magnetization” arises from singlet–triplet mixing when the superconducting order parameter varies in space, leading to nonlinear magnetoelectric effects driven by supercurrents, as well as tunable 0π transitions in Josephson junctions.
