EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Topological phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene as a function of the twist angle

Leonardo A. Navarro-Labastida, Pierre A. Pantaleón, Francisco Guinea, and Gerardo G. Naumis

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085124 (2026) - Published 12 February, 2026

Twisted bilayer graphene hosts multiple topological phase transitions between magic angles, driven by hybridization between flat and remote bands. By tracking the evolution of charge distribution, Chern number, quantum metric, and orbital magnetic energy as a function of twist angle, the authors uncover here previously unreported phases with Chern number C=±2. These results reveal how band inversions at high-symmetry points control topology in moiré materials.

Roadmap for electronic structure, anharmonicity, and electron-phonon calculations in locally disordered inorganic and hybrid halide perovskites

Marios Zacharias, George Volonakis, Laurent Pedesseau, Claudine Katan, Feliciano Giustino, and Jacky Even

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085118 (2026) - Published 12 February, 2026

Here, the authors establish a first-principles framework for finite-temperature electronic structure calculations in halide perovskites that unifies anharmonic phonons, configurational entropy associated with positional polymorphism, and electron-phonon coupling. By enabling systematic high-throughput calculations of anharmonic phonons in hybrid perovskites, the work shows that polymorphism strongly modifies electron-phonon interactions, band gaps, and effective masses and cannot be neglected. The results yield unprecedented agreement with experiment, redefining realistic modeling of these soft, strongly anharmonic materials and extending naturally to related systems.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Strong-coupling superconductivity near Gross-Neveu quantum criticality in Dirac systems

Veronika C. Stangier, Daniel E. Sheehy, and Jörg Schmalian

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085119 (2026) - Published 10 February, 2026

Can superconductivity arise without well-defined quasiparticles? This work answers with a striking yes. By studying charge-neutral Dirac fermions near Gross–Neveu quantum criticality, the authors show here that strong critical fluctuations and anomalous fermion dimensions can drive superconductivity, even in the absence of a Fermi surface. Using a strong-coupling framework, inspired by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model, they identify symmetry-selective pairing channels and demonstrate that well-defined Dirac quasiparticles do not superconduct while ill-defined ones do, demonstrating a unique route for pairing in Dirac materials.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Electronic and structural properties of Rh- and Pd-based kagome layered shandites from first principles

Luca Buiarelli, Turan Birol, Brian M. Andersen, and Morten H. Christensen

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085129 (2026) - Published 17 February, 2026

The authors explore here the possibility of charge density wave like structural instabilities in a family of kagome-layered rhombohedral shandite materials. Such instabilities are well studied in the vanadium-based $A$ V $_{3}$ Sb $_{5}$ kagome metals, and are linked to van Hove singularities near the Fermi level. Using a combination of phenomenological Landau theory and first-principles calculations, the authors identify pressure and doping as viable routes to induce analogous instabilities in shandites.

Raman spectroscopy at 1550 nm: Resonant enhancement of two-phonon scattering in ${MoTe}_{2}$ crystals

Simone Sotgiu, Tommaso Venanzi, Muralidhar Nalabothula, Elena Stellino, Erica Fragomeni, Alessandro Nucara, Michele Ortolani, Ludger Wirtz, and Leonetta Baldassarre

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085201 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

To explore electron-phonon interactions in bulk 2 $H$ -MoTe $_{2}$ , the authors develop here a custom-built Raman setup with excitation at 1550 nm, an energy seldom used in Raman spectroscopy. They demonstrate that while first-order Raman modes remain off-resonant, second-order two-phonon scattering processes undergo a dramatic enhancement as the laser energy matches the material’s indirect infrared band gap. Supported by $a b$ $i n i t i o$ calculations, this work identifies the microscopic scattering pathways and provides a new experimental framework for probing low-energy carrier dynamics in narrow-gap semiconductors and topological materials.

Braiding Majoranas in a linear quantum dot–superconductor array: Mitigating the errors from Coulomb repulsion and residual tunneling

Sebastian Miles, Francesco Zatelli, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, and Chun-Xiao Liu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085302 (2026) - Published 6 February, 2026

Demonstrating the exchange statistics of Majorana zero modes is a key step towards topological quantum computing. Recent progress in artificial Kitaev chains motivates this work, which develops a protocol for Majorana exchange. The authors define here a protocol to facilitate exchange, identify platform-specific challenges, study relevant noise sources, and analyze remedies and experimental constraints. With its results, the study provides practical guidance towards realizing braiding in artificial Kitaev chains.

Enhancing far-field thermal radiation by Floquet engineering

Huimin Zhu, Yuhua Ren, Hui Pan, Gaomin Tang, Lei Zhang, and Jian-Sheng Wang

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085414 (2026) - Published 11 February, 2026

The authors investigate here far-field thermal radiation from a periodically time-modulated SiC film using the Floquet nonequilibrium Green’s function framework. Their results reveal that time modulation significantly enhances far-field emission by coupling near-field evanescent modes to far-field propagating modes. By effectively bridging energy and momentum mismatches through frequency conversion, this work demonstrates that Floquet engineering offers a powerful new pathway for active dynamic control of far-field thermal radiation.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Distinguishing Majorana bound states from accidental zero-energy modes with a microwave cavity

Sarath Prem, Olesia Dmytruk, and Mircea Trif

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085420 (2026) - Published 13 February, 2026

Here, the authors show that the nonlocal nature of Majorana bound states is directly encoded in their microwave response. Introducing the visibility of microwave absorption—a parity-dependent quantity analogous to optical interference contrast—the work reveals that Majorana states exhibit a nonzero visibility only when the cavity couples simultaneously to both wire ends, in stark contrast to trivial zero-energy modes. This nonlocal criterion is robust against disorder and tunnel barriers, and is directly accessible in current experiments.

Intramolecular variations of Andreev reflection

Ankur Das, Nicolas Néel, and Jörg Kröger

Phys. Rev. B 113, 085427 (2026) - Published 19 February, 2026

Andreev reflection underlies the interconversion of electrons and Cooper pairs across the interface of a normal and superconducting metal. Here, the authors take a microscopic look at Andreev reflection by reducing the interface down to a single molecule. Intriguingly, they find that the Andreev interconversion process is altered at the intramolecular length scale, which the authors associate with the spatial orbital texture of the molecule. These results may become relevant for miniaturized low-dissipation circuitry in future computer architectures.

Coexisting massive and massless Dirac fermions in moiré-reconstructed bilayer graphene

Mohit Kumar Jat, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, and Aveek Bid

Phys. Rev. B 113, L081102 (2026) - Published 6 February, 2026

Here, the authors show that a moiré superlattice in bilayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride drives a topological reconstruction of its electronic bands. Magnetotransport reveals the emergence of massless Dirac fermions in moiré minibands, coexisting with the parent bilayer’s massive carriers. The work highlights moiré engineering as a simple and versatile route to tunable band topology.

Scattering bounds in asymmetric resonators stemming from the topological phase

Ming Kang, Tianmeng Zhang, Huanan Li, Jing Chen, and Andrea Alù

Phys. Rev. B 113, L081103 (2026) - Published 9 February, 2026

The authors uncover here a fundamental link between scattering bounds and the topological features of the radiative phase, associated to a nontrivial winding number, in asymmetric resonators. In the non-Hermitian regime, operating at the derived bound leads to asymmetric resonators that support degenerate coherent perfect absorption (CPA) states that coalesce at an exceptional point (EP), realizing an EP CPA. As a result, this work bridges scattering bounds with critical phenomena in non-Hermitian photonics.

Mott transition from the nonanalyticity of the one-body reduced density-matrix functional

Zhengqian Cheng and Chris A. Marianetti

Phys. Rev. B 113, L081108 (2026) - Published 20 February, 2026

One-body reduced density-matrix functional (1RDMF) theory has yielded promising results for small systems such as molecules, but has not addressed quantum phase transitions. Here, the authors explicitly execute the constrained search within a variational ansatz to construct a 1RDMF for the multiorbital Hubbard model with up to seven orbitals in the thermodynamic limit. The authors find that nonanalytic behavior emerges in their 1RDMF at fixed integer filling, which gives rise to the Mott transition, and illustrates how a nonzero Hund exchange drives the continuous Mott transition to become first order.

Heat Coulomb blockade in a double-island metal-semiconductor device

A. V. Parafilo

Phys. Rev. B 113, L081401 (2026) - Published 2 February, 2026

Here, the author investigates heat Coulomb blockade in a double-island hybrid metal-semiconductor device with two gapped modes. The suppression of heat flux is shown to depend on the number of ballistic channels connecting the islands to each other and to the reservoirs. The imbalance between these channels determines the thermal current and thermalization between the islands in a heat-transport setup. It is also demonstrated that, by tuning these channels, a controllable violation of the Wiedemann-Franz law is achieved.
