Ultrafast charge doping via photothermionic injection in van der Waals devices

Yiliu Li, Esteban Rojas-Gatjens, Yinjie Guo, Birui Yang, Dihao Sun, Luke Holtzman, Juseung Oh, Katayun Barmak, Cory R. Dean, James C. Hone, Nathaniel Gabor, Eric A. Arsenault, and Xiaoyang Zhu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195135 (2026) - Published 19 May, 2026

The authors present here a quantitative study of an ultrafast photodoping mechanism from photothermionic emission of the graphite gates in a prototypical dual-gated moiré van der Waals device. This mechanism enables ultrafast and tunable control of carrier density in active layers in vdW structures. Furthermore, this work demonstrates the potential of utilizing the full vdW device stack to probe and engineer the nonequilibrium dynamics of quantum phases in two-dimensional materials.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Abelian and non-Abelian fractionalized states in twisted ${MoTe}_{2}$ : A generalized Landau-level theory

Bohao Li, Yunze Ouyang, and Fengcheng Wu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195129 (2026) - Published 18 May, 2026

Here, the authors develop a framework that variationally decomposes Bloch bands into generalized Landau levels (LLs), enabling a quantitative characterization of their effective LL nature. Applied to twisted bilayer MoTe $_{2}$ , the first band is dominated by the generalized zeroth LL, supporting Abelian fractional Chern insulators. The second band, at specific twist angles, is dominated by the generalized first LL and exhibits numerical evidence consistent with a non-Abelian Moore–Read state.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

First-principles framework for exchange interactions and red-shifted luminescence of ${Cr}^{3 +}$ ion pairs in strong crystal field environments

Qinshi Hu, Lingkun Zhang, Anfei Chen, Qianshan Quan, Min Yin, Chang-Kui Duan, and Qiaoling Chen

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195156 (2026) - Published 29 May, 2026

Here, the authors establish a first-principles framework, benchmarked against ruby (Al $_{2}$ O $_{3}$ :Cr $^{3 +}$ ) and applied to multiple oxides, for quantitatively determining the ground-state exchange coupling $J$ and emission redshift of Cr $^{3 +}$ ion pairs in strong crystal-field environments. Redshifts increase along corner, edge, and face-sharing from less than 0.1 to $\sim 0.2$ eV. The study shows that excited-state electron-phonon coupling and magnetic exchange work synergistically, and these geometry-specific redshift ranges can distinguish genuine pair-related near-infrared centers from other defects.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Concatenated continuous driving of silicon qubit by amplitude and phase modulation

Takuma Kuno, Takeru Utsugi, Andrew J. Ramsay, Normann Mertig, Noriyuki Lee, Itaru Yanagi, Toshiyuki Mine, Nobuhiro Kusuno, Hideo Arimoto, Sofie Beyne, Julien Jussot, Stefan Kubicek, Yann Canvel, Clement Godfrin, Bart Raes, Yosuke Shimura, Roger Loo, Sylvain Baudot, Danny Wan, Kristiaan De Greve, Shinichi Saito, Digh Hisamoto, Ryuta Tsuchiya, Tetsuo Kodera, and Hiroyuki Mizuno

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195303 (2026) - Published 13 May, 2026

For dressed qubits, a strong drive is required to decouple the spin from noise, but increasing the drive strength leads to a breakdown of the rotating-wave approximation. Here, the authors demonstrate that simultaneous amplitude and phase modulation of a microwave drive generates an effective circularly polarized field in the rotating frame, canceling unwanted counter-rotating terms. Using a silicon spin qubit, they achieve stable and precise control with enhanced robustness to detuning and drive errors.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Pair anisotropy in disordered magnetic systems

K. Das, N. Gonzalez Szwacki, K. Gas, M. Sawicki, R. Hayn, and D. Sztenkiel

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195305 (2026) - Published 19 May, 2026

Here, the authors identify a previously overlooked source of magnetic anisotropy in disordered dilute magnets. Using first-principles calculations and atomistic spin simulations for Ga $_{1 - x}$ Mn $_{x}$ N, they show that nearest-neighbor magnetic ion pairs break local symmetry and generate a pair-induced uniaxial anisotropy. Incorporating this effect leads to a significantly improved agreement with experimental magnetization curves, demonstrating that conventional single-ion models are insufficient and that pairwise interactions are essential for quantitatively accurate descriptions of magnetism in disordered systems.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Asymmetric scattering drives large nonlinear Nernst and Seebeck effects

Harsh Varshney and Amit Agarwal

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195417 (2026) - Published 15 May, 2026

The authors show here that disorder can be a dominant source of nonlinear thermoelectricity. They develop a unified semiclassical theory of nonlinear Nernst and Seebeck effects that incorporates side-jump and skew-scattering processes, identifying six distinct second-order contributions with a clear band-geometric origin. For $A B A$ -stacked trilayer graphene, the theory explains the large experimentally observed signals and provides symmetry-based diagnostics to distinguish intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Nonlinear Hall effect induced by two-frequency drives

Jiong-Yi Zhu, Rui Chen, and Bin Zhou

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195422 (2026) - Published 18 May, 2026

Engineering light-matter interactions with two-frequency drives unlocks a new topological response. Here, the authors demonstrate that a commensurate drive with a frequency ratio of two intrinsically breaks inversion symmetry in 2D Dirac systems, inducing a tunable nonlinear Hall effect. Crucially, the resulting Berry curvature dipole is an even function of Fermi energy, different from the odd dependent relationship found in conventional tilted systems. This approach establishes a highly controllable route for manipulating nonlinear transport in quantum materials.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Growth and crystallographic structure of ${TiTe}_{2}$ on Au(111): From submonolayer structures to single- and multilayer films

Andreas Raabgrund, Tilman Kißlinger, Alexander Wegerich, Lutz Hammer, and M. Alexander Schneider

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195426 (2026) - Published 18 May, 2026

Single-layer 1 $T$ -TiTe $_{2}$ grown on a gold surface emerge from individual molecular building blocks. By combining STM, advanced LEED-IV, and DFT, the authors resolve here the atomic structure of epitaxial single-layer and multilayer TiTe $_{2}$ films on Au(111), which evolve from isolated TiTe $_{2}$ units with Ti atoms embedded in the topmost gold layer. The study uncovers Ti-induced restructuring of the Au surface, the formation of a moiré monolayer, and an unexpected lattice expansion persisting even in thicker TiTe $_{2}$ films.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Scalable tight-binding model for strained graphene

Ming-Hao Liu (劉明豪), Christophe De Beule, Alina Mreńca-Kolasińska, Hsin-You Wu (吳欣祐), Aitor Garcia-Ruiz (艾飛宇), Denis Kochan, and Klaus Richter

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195429 (2026) - Published 18 May, 2026

The scalable tight-binding model for graphene has been very useful for modeling large-scale transport in pristine graphene. Here, the authors generalize the model to account for strained graphene. They find that the original model is readily applicable to elastically strained graphene, provided the corresponding lattice displacements are also properly scaled as summarized in the teaser image. This generalized approach facilitates the modeling of mesoscopic strained graphene devices, advancing the field of graphene straintronics.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Transitions between singlet and triplet trions in quantized magnetic fields

Yi Wang, Zhen-Nan Wang, Fei-Long Song, Shu-Yu Zheng, Li Lu, Kai Chang, Jun Zhang, and Chi Zhang

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195436 (2026) - Published 20 May, 2026

How do optical (or laser) fields and external magnetic fields affect the exciton and trion states of many-body physics? The authors investigate here the magneto-photoluminescence and transport of a high-quality two-dimensional electron channel, in which transitions involving spontaneous hidden symmetry breaking occur at integer Landau filling factors. The extremely intensive laser visualizes dark trions that are forbidden at low magnetic fields, and the accompanied robust Fano resonances, coming from a many-body effect, stem from the coupling between transition-forbidden (dark) trions and the Fermi sea continuum.

Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for topological insulators and superconductors: $E_{2}$ pages for 1651 magnetic space groups

Ken Shiozaki and Seishiro Ono

Phys. Rev. B 113, 195441 (2026) - Published 27 May, 2026

Here, the authors present a systematic computation of the $E_{2}$ pages of the Atiyah-Hirzebruch spectral sequence for topological insulators and superconductors with all 1651 magnetic space groups. Combining momentum-space and real-space approaches, they strongly constrain possible $K$ groups and determine the classifications for about 59% of the three-dimensional symmetry settings.
