HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES

Chern junctions in moiré-patterned graphene/PbI2

Yan Sun, M. Monteverde, V. Derkach, K. Watanabe, T. Taniguchi, F. Chiodi, H. Bouchiat, and A. D. Chepelianskii

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155425 (2026) - Published 15 April, 2026

Here, the authors report dissipationless transport at the charge neutrality point, robust fractional conductance plateaux, and quantum interference phenomena in a BN/graphene/PbI2 moiré heterostructure. These effects arise from Chern junctions between domains with distinct Chern numbers, establishing a new device architecture for exploring correlated and topological quantum phases. They show that in this architecture, ballistic channels can survive the transition between integer quantum Hall effect plateaus, something which was not believed to be possible.

Tunable Josephson diode effect mediated by topological surface states in BiSbTeSe2 Josephson junctions

Si-Li Wu, Zhi-Hui Ren, Peng Zhu, Hao-Chen Zhang, Xue-Tao Di, Chong Wang, Chuan Li, Zhiwei Wang, Cai-Zhen Li, and Zhi-Min Liao

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155435 (2026) - Published 21 April, 2026

Here, the authors demonstrate a gate-tunable Josephson diode effect (JDE) mediated by topological surface states in high-transparency Nb/BiSbTeSe2/Nb junctions. Temperature-dependent measurements show that the JDE is primarily driven by surface states, with bulk states contributing to the supercurrent but not to the diode effect. Gate tuning further enhances the surface contribution, increasing the diode efficiency from 40% to 50%. These findings establish topological surface states as a promising platform for efficient tunable superconducting diodes.

Spin-orbit driven topological phases in kagome materials

Chi Wu and Tiantian Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155115 (2026) - Published 7 April, 2026

Here, the authors investigate spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in kagome-type IAMX materials through a combination of theoretical modeling and first-principles calculations (IA = alkali metal, M = rare earth metal, and X = carbon group element). By developing a minimal four-band spinful model, the study captures SOC-induced topological phase transitions, illustrating the continuous evolution of phase diagrams and topological surface states. The model is supported by systematic DFT calculations across different materials, bridging theoretical models with real-world materials. This research serves as a valuable guide for leveraging IAMX materials in multifunctional device applications.

Highly tunable Kondo effect with competing magnetism in the kagome lattice compound CsCr6Sb6

Guofei Yang, Hengrui Gui, Boqin Song, Huiqing Ye, Yifan Wan, Guoqing Zeng, Chengwei Wang, Xudong Zhao, Zekai Shi, Michael Smidman, Chenchao Xu, Chao Cao, Tianping Ying, Lin Jiao, and Huiqiu Yuan

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155128 (2026) - Published 14 April, 2026

Frustration-induced flat band systems offer a unique pathway to realize Kondo physics. Here, the authors use scanning tunneling spectroscopy and thermodynamic probes to reveal highly tunable Kondo effect in the kagome compound CsCr6Sb6. They show that temperature and in-plane magnetic field tune the competition between Kondo effect and underlying magnetism, establishing this compound as a new paradigm for studying correlated quantum states in 3d electron systems.

Different types of corner states induced by layer degree of freedom in bilayer sonic crystals

Houyin Li (李厚银), Yiqin Yang (杨宜钦), Cheng-Xin Deng (邓程欣), Jin Li (黎锦), Kun Zhang (张坤), Yan Peng (彭研), Rong-Li Wang (王荣丽), Cheng He (何程), and Hai Yang (杨海)

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155142 (2026) - Published 20 April, 2026

Here, the authors reveal distinct layer-dependent higher-order topological corner states in bilayer triangular lattice sonic crystals, enabled by the coupling between valley and layer degrees of freedom. By rotating the scatterers, four distinct bulk topological phases are realized, giving rise to layer-mixed, layer-polarized, and layer-locked corner states, including a semi-localized type-III corner mode. A valley-selective design allows for precise tuning of the localization and frequency of these states, establishing a versatile platform for acoustic multiplexing and sensing.

Absence of parity anomaly in massive Dirac fermions on a lattice

Shun-Qing Shen

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155412 (2026) - Published 8 April, 2026

The author shows here that the parity anomaly or half quantized Hall effect is absent in two-dimensional massive Dirac fermions and, instead, is an intrinsic property of a single massless Dirac cone on a lattice. The result subverts the longstanding theory of parity anomaly in massive Dirac fermions and challenges its extensive applications in condensed matter physics, such as the quantum valley Hall effect in 2D materials and metamaterials, and the half-quantized surface Hall effect and related effects in topological insulators.

Topological surface state destruction via trivializing proximity effect: Lattice localization despite continuum criticality

Arthur Niwazuki and Matthew S. Foster

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155445 (2026) - Published 29 April, 2026

The tenfold classification of topological insulators and superconductors was recently refined to distinguish “localizable” phases, whose surface states are fragile to disorder. Here, the authors demonstrate this fragility for a 3D class-CI topological superconductor: it can be Anderson localized by weak disorder and hybridization with a trivial 2D band. By contrast, 2D continuum Dirac models fail to capture this behavior, with stronger disorder instead restoring criticality, highlighting fundamental limitations of effective field theory in describing localizable topological phases.

Here, the authors report dissipationless transport at the charge neutrality point, robust fractional conductance plateaux, and quantum interference phenomena in a BN/graphene/PbI2 moiré heterostructure. These effects arise from Chern junctions between domains with distinct Chern numbers, establishing a new device architecture for exploring correlated and topological quantum phases. They show that in this architecture, ballistic channels can survive the transition between integer quantum Hall effect plateaus, something which was not believed to be possible.

Here, the authors demonstrate a gate-tunable Josephson diode effect (JDE) mediated by topological surface states in high-transparency Nb/BiSbTeSe2/Nb junctions. Temperature-dependent measurements show that the JDE is primarily driven by surface states, with bulk states contributing to the supercurrent but not to the diode effect. Gate tuning further enhances the surface contribution, increasing the diode efficiency from 40% to 50%. These findings establish topological surface states as a promising platform for efficient tunable superconducting diodes.

Topological surface state destruction via trivializing proximity effect: Lattice localization despite continuum criticality

Arthur Niwazuki and Matthew S. Foster

Phys. Rev. B 113, 155445 (2026) - Published 29 April, 2026

The tenfold classification of topological insulators and superconductors was recently refined to distinguish “localizable” phases, whose surface states are fragile to disorder. Here, the authors demonstrate this fragility for a 3D class-CI topological superconductor: it can be Anderson localized by weak disorder and hybridization with a trivial 2D band. By contrast, 2D continuum Dirac models fail to capture this behavior, with stronger disorder instead restoring criticality, highlighting fundamental limitations of effective field theory in describing localizable topological phases.
