EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Universal dynamical features of complex ferroelectrics driven out of equilibrium

Sergey Prosandeev and L. Bellaiche

Phys. Rev. B 113, 064111 (2026) - Published 18 February, 2026

By using atomistic simulations, the authors discover here that some complex ferroelectric materials behave in a similar fashion when driven out of equilibrium by applying terahertz electric pulses, even though these materials have different initial, intermediate (hidden) and final states. Five different temporal regions occur in all of them, with one of them exhibiting negative capacitance, which is forbidden under equilibrium. A D-like shape of the polarization-versus-electric field loop is also reported, along with the origin of these unusual features. The present results may guide the design of a variety of original devices, including for neuromorphic computing and novel electric circuits.

Incommensuration in odd-parity magnets

Changhee Lee, Nico A. Hackner, and P. M. R. Brydon

Phys. Rev. B 113, 064420 (2026) - Published 13 February, 2026

Odd-parity magnets present a novel magnetic state which may turn out to be important in spintronics applications. Here, the authors use symmetry analysis to show that at sufficiently high temperatures odd-parity magnets are generically unstable to the formation of an incommensurate magnetic state. This places severe constraints on the phase diagram of odd-parity magnets. In particular, their phase cannot be reached from the nonmagnetic state in a single phase transition.

Analysis of nonlinear harmonics in exchange-dominated spin waves

Jiaxuan Chen, Yicheng Song, and Akira Hirose

Phys. Rev. B 113, 064421 (2026) - Published 13 February, 2026

Here, the authors develop a theoretical framework for integer harmonic generation in exchange-dominated spin waves, derived from the Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equation. Elliptical precession gives rise to odd-order harmonics, while a slight tilt of the bias field breaks the in-plane symmetry and leads to even-order harmonics. Quantitative relations for transverse and longitudinal components are validated by micromagnetic simulations, providing insights into nonlinear spin-wave dynamics and their potential for magnonic computing and signal processing.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Thickness-dependent topological spin texture nucleation in the high-temperature two-dimensional ferromagnet ${Fe}_{3} {GaTe}_{2}$

Y. Sun, M. T. Birch, D. A. Mayoh, Y. Liu, S. Satheesh, G. Balakrishnan, M. Weigand, S. Wintz, and M. Burghard

Phys. Rev. B 113, 064425 (2026) - Published 17 February, 2026

Fe $_{3}$ GaTe $_{2}$ has emerged as a promising two-dimensional ferromagnet with intrinsic magnetism above room temperature. Through scanning transmission x-ray microscopy, the authors reveal here that magnetic domain size scales nonmonotonically with flake thickness. This is a striking deviation from Kittel’s law, driven by enhanced domain-wall energy. Notably, thicker flakes stabilize skyrmions across a broader magnetic field range, while higher-order spin textures emerge only above ~75 nm. These thickness-dependent instabilities present a critical challenge for device miniaturization, underscoring the need for innovative stabilization strategies in van der Waals heterostructures to harness robust topological spin textures in ultrathin spintronic architectures.

Tunneling spectroscopy of two-dimensional superconductors with the quantum twisting microscope

Nemin Wei, Felix von Oppen, and Leonid I. Glazman

Phys. Rev. B 113, 064502 (2026) - Published 9 February, 2026

The authors develop here a theory for momentum-resolved tunneling spectroscopy of van der Waals superconductors using the quantum twisting microscope and demonstrate how it can directly map the anisotropic superconducting gap in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

LETTER

Nonexponential relaxation in the rotating frame of a driven nanomechanical mode

Hyunjin Choi, Oriel Shoshani, Ryundon Kim, Younghun Ryu, Jinhoon Jeong, Junho Suh, Steven W. Shaw, M. I. Dykman, and Hyoungsoon Choi

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060301 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

The authors report here a direct observation of relaxation toward a stable vibrational state of a driven nanomechanical oscillator. They find that, in the rotating frame, the decay is profoundly nonexponential and is accompanied by characteristic nonsinusoidal oscillations. A minimalistic model successfully describes the observed behavior, which arises from the interplay of the nonlinearity and dissipation and is ultimately rooted in the broken time-translation and time-reversal symmetries.

LETTER

Opposite impact of thermal expansion and phonon anharmonicity on the phonon-limited resistivity of elemental metals from first principles

Ao Wang, Junwen Yin, Félix Antoine Goudreault, Michel Côté, Olle Hellman, and Samuel Poncé

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060302 (2026) - Published 25 February, 2026

The authors show here that thermal expansion and phonon anharmonicity act in opposite ways on electrical resistivity in metals. Thermal expansion enhances electron–phonon coupling, while anharmonicity suppresses it. Accounting for both effects yields a more complete picture of electron transport, demonstrated here for Pb, Nb, and Al.

LETTER

Anisotropic anomalous Hall effect in distorted kagome ${GdTi}_{3} {Bi}_{4}$

Avdhesh K. Sharma, Bo Tai, Subhajit Roychowdhury, Premakumar Yanda, Ulrich Burkhardt, Xiaolong Feng, Claudia Felser, and Chandra Shekhar

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060402 (2026) - Published 3 February, 2026

Here, the authors experimentally observe the anisotropic anomalous Hall effect (AHE) in GdTi $_{3}$ Bi $_{4}$ , despite the isotropic magnetization along respective crystallographic directions. This observation contradicts the conventional scaling of AHE with magnetization. In the presence of spin-orbit coupling and broken time-reversal symmetry within the Gd 4 $f$ sublattice, the magnetization direction controls the orbital mixing in the Ti $t_{2 g}$ bands. This relocates the Berry curvature hot spots and produces orientation-selective AHE. These findings establish GdTi $_{3}$ Bi $_{4}$ as a platform for novel quantum phenomena.

Ferromagnetic fragmented state in the pyrochlore ${Ho}_{2} {Ru}_{2} O_{7}$

F. Museur, J. Robert, F. Morineau, N. Bujault, V. Simonet, E. Pachoud, A. Hadj-Azzem, C. V. Colin, L. Mangin-Thro, P. Manuel, J. R. Stewart, P. C. W. Holdsworth, and E. Lhotel

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060406 (2026) - Published 11 February, 2026

Here, the authors reveal how two distinct sublattices interact to produce an unconventional magnetic phase in the pyrochlore Ho $_{2}$ Ru $_{2}$ O $_{7}$ . Using neutron scattering along side thermodynamic probes, they show that Ru moments first establish an easy-plane antiferromagnetic state, which then mediates an unusual low-temperature ferromagnetic ordering of Ho moments. This work reveals two consecutive, symmetry breaking phase transitions and identifies a fragmented ferromagnetic state analogous to kagome ice. Thus, it highlights the subtle interplay between exchange, anisotropy, and frustration on interpenetrating lattices.

Tunnel-like transport and extremely large magnetoresistance in an all-metal junction incorporating the altermagnet ${KV}_{2} {Se}_{2} O$

Jing-Jing He, Ling-Xiao Liu, Yan-Dong Guo, Jia-Ren Yuan, Xiao-Hong Yan, and Stefano Sanvito

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060410 (2026) - Published 24 February, 2026

Here, the authors design an all-metal altermagnetic junction based on KV $_{2}$ Se $_{2}$ O that exhibits tunnel-like transport, enabled by symmetry-driven spin selectivity. Suppressed electronic coupling between electrodes and spacer allows spin-neutral currents to generate exceptionally large tunneling magnetoresistance. This behavior, fundamentally distinct from that in conventional ferromagnetic tunnel junctions, suggests a new avenue for high-performance antiferromagnetic devices.

Field theory of Borromean supercounterfluids

Anatoly Kuklov, Leo Radzihovsky, and Boris Svistunov

Phys. Rev. B 113, L060504 (2026) - Published 6 February, 2026

A Borromean counter-flow superfluid (BCSF) is a highly entangled state of $N > 2$ atomic components. It occurs in the Mott insulating phase where the total flow is arrested. The authors solve here the problem of the dynamic field theoretical description of BCSF. The new model features Borromean hydrodynamics as a low-energy theory representing the symmetry of the $U (1)^{N}$ factor group. It reveals a counter-flow AC Josephson effect, and generically predicts a first-order phase transition into a BCSF state in dimensions greater than two.
