EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Defect-mediated melting of square-lattice solids

William Grampel and Daniel Podolsky

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214109 (2026) - Published 17 June, 2026

The melting of two-dimensional solids is driven by the proliferation of topological defects, a mechanism described by Kosterlitz-Thouless-Halperin-Nelson-Young (KTHNY) theory for isotropic lattices. Here, the authors extend this theory to square-lattice solids, where lattice anisotropy introduces an additional elastic constant and modifies the interactions between defects. The theory predicts two-step melting through an intermediate tetratic phase, but with key differences from the isotropic case: a modified bound on the translational exponent and nonuniversal Young’s modulus at the solid–tetratic transition.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Regularized universal topological markers for Dirac systems

Yulin Qin, Chang-An Li, and Jian Li

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214201 (2026) - Published 3 June, 2026

Topological markers provide a powerful real-space characterization of topological systems, but they typically suffer from irregular behavior at boundaries. Here, using position operators compatible with periodic boundary conditions, the authors develop a regularized universal topological marker that eliminates the spurious boundary irregularities and connects rigorously to the global topological invariants in different symmetry classes. This new local marker further serves to effectively detect disorder-driven topological phase transitions.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Affine transformations for purely anisotropic cloaking in flexural elastic thin plates

Léo Pradier, Baptiste Chomette, Manuel Collet, Grégoire Pizon, Morvan Ouisse, Valentin Rapine, and Arnaud Hubert

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214307 (2026) - Published 8 June, 2026

The problem of bending wave cloaking in thin elastic plates is a longstanding theoretical and engineering challenge due to the dispersive nature of guided bending waves. The approach proposed here establishes a theoretical framework and a design methodology allowing manufacturability of a unidirectional cloaking proof of concept using composite materials. The authors present numerical and experimental evidence of the broadband performances associated with the proposed cloaking implementation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Beyond trotterization: Variational product formulas for quantum simulation

Ibsal Assi, Michael Vogl, Meenu Kumari, and J. P. F. LeBlanc

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214314 (2026) - Published 15 June, 2026

The authors introduce here a variational splitting scheme for the time-evolution operator that surpasses standard Trotter-Suzuki decompositions. Unlike typical variational methods, this framework works directly in operator space, providing globally valid results irrespective of the targeted initial state. The method generalizes naturally to a wide range of applications in condensed matter physics and beyond. In particular, it enables quantum circuits with lower gate counts and higher accuracy than Trotter-based formulas, making it useful for near-term quantum computing.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Linear static and dynamic glassy magnetoelectric response without long-range magnetic order in cluster-glass ${CuMn}_{2} O_{4}$

A. Hati, J. K. Dey, S. Nandy, A. Kumar, S. D. Kaushik, N. Mondal, O. Ivashko, S. Majumdar, and S. Giri

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214402 (2026) - Published 1 June, 2026

Despite the conventional requirement of simultaneous spatial inversion and time-reversal symmetry breaking for magnetoelectric (ME) coupling, the authors demonstrate here a linear ME effect without long-range magnetic order, evidenced by the lack of magnetic Bragg peaks in neutron diffraction. Remarkably, a novel glassy ME response is also uncovered, closely linked to the cluster-glass state. The coexistence of static linear and glassy ME responses in the cluster-glass regime raises fundamental questions about the nature of symmetry-driven ME coupling in disordered magnetic systems.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Influence of controlled disorder on the dipolar spin-ice state of Ho-based pyrochlores

Adam A. Aczel, Brenden R. Ortiz, Yi Luo, Ganesh Pokharel, Paul M. Sarte, Clarina dela Cruz, Jue Liu, Gabriele Sala, Stephen D. Wilson, Benjamin A. Frandsen, and Joseph A. M. Paddison

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214415 (2026) - Published 3 June, 2026

The dipolar spin ice ground state is an exotic magnetic phase with degenerate spin configurations analogous to proton ordering in water ice. Here, the authors show that the dipolar spin ice state persists in holmium-based pyrochlores with different types of nonmagnetic site mixing, even when significant disorder-induced modifications to the crystal structure are observed at both the global and local level.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Polar and quadratic magneto-optical Kerr effects in nonmagnetic/ferromagnet bilayers for spin-orbit torque measurements

Yukihiro Marui, Masashi Kawaguchi, Kohji Nakamura, and Masamitsu Hayashi

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214419 (2026) - Published 5 June, 2026

Spin orbit torque is one of the key technologies in developing next-generation spintronic devices. Various approaches have been developed to characterize the efficiency of spin orbit torque. Recent studies suggest that the optical approach provides a better means to study the efficiency compared to the conventional electrical approach. Here, the authors clarify the reason behind this. It is the small quadratic component of the magneto-optical Kerr effect compared to its polar counterpart that defines the high accuracy.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Giant magnetoelasticity in FeRh thin films evidenced via strong phonon-magnon coupling

D. Ourdani, C. Gourdon, J. A. Arregi, V. Uhlíř, Y. Roussigné, and L. Thevenard

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214450 (2026) - Published 23 June, 2026

FeRh is best known for its metamagnetic transition and giant volume magnetostriction. Here, the authors reveal remarkably strong phonon–magnon coupling in epitaxial FeRh. Combining Brillouin light scattering experiments with magnetoacoustic modeling, they demonstrate giant magnetoelasticity and show that Love surface acoustic waves provide an efficient mechanism for coherent magnon-polaron formation in magnetic thin films, highlighting FeRh as a promising platform for spin-acoustic information processing.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Crystal electric field excitations and spin dynamics in the spin-orbit coupled distorted honeycomb magnet ${BiErGeO}_{5}$

S. Mohanty, S. Guchhait, S. S. Islam, Surya P. Patra, M. P. Saravanan, J. A. Krieger, T. J. Hicken, H. Luetkens, D. T. Adroja, Gøran J. Nilsen, M. D. Le, and R. Nath

Phys. Rev. B 113, 214452 (2026) - Published 23 June, 2026

Here, the authors report the magnetic properties, crystal electric field excitations, and spin dynamics of a distorted honeycomb magnet BiErGeO $_{5}$ . Inelastic neutron scattering and μSR experiments reveal the effect of crystal electric field leading to a Kramers doublet ground state and anisotropic interactions. Despite an anomaly at $T_{N}$ ≃ 0.4 K in heat capacity, μSR measurements rule out a magnetic long-range order, and instead suggest persistent spin fluctuations down to 30 mK, highlighting unconventional magnetism in this spin-orbit coupled honeycomb system.
