Electrostatic interactions in atomistic and machine-learned potentials for polar materials

Lorenzo Monacelli and Nicola Marzari

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094101 (2026) - Published 2 March, 2026

This work presents a novel first-principles approach for simulating electrostatic forces in polar materials, a crucial component often lacking in machine-learning interatomic potentials. Long-range electrostatic interactions play a fundamental role and, although machine learning force fields have rapidly improved, their description of the atomic environment is local, thus hampering their applicability to real-world problems. Few methods have been proposed to address this issue, and all of them require extensive retraining of the force field. The approach here overcomes these limitations: it is derived from first principles and eliminates the need for new ab initio simulations on the training set. Furthermore, it can be easily implemented alongside existing and available force fields. The method is released as an open-source package that can be readily employed in simulations. It is highly versatile and user friendly. The authors anticipate that this new approach will have a significant impact on materials simulations.

Incorporating Gibbs free energy into interatomic potential fitting

Liangrui Wei and Yang Sun

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094103 (2026) - Published 2 March, 2026

The Gibbs free energy is one of the most fundamental quantities governing the thermodynamics of materials, particularly under extreme conditions. Here, the authors introduce a framework that incorporates the Gibbs free energy into interatomic potential development. The method is rooted in Hamiltonian thermodynamic integration and is integrated with conventional fitting procedures, providing systematic control over both structural and thermodynamic properties. Applications to nickel and iron oxide systems demonstrate improved thermodynamic accuracy in molecular dynamics simulations at high pressures and temperatures.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Magnetic excitations in the Kitaev material ${Na}_{2} {IrO}_{3}$ studied by neutron scattering

Alexandre Bertin, Hengdi Zhao, Gang Cao, Andrea Piovano, Paul Steffens, Alexandre Ivanov, and Markus Braden

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094407 (2026) - Published 4 March, 2026

Na $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ is one of the most studied Kitaev materials, but the microscopic interactions remain controversial leaving the imminent question open, whether Na $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ shows or approaches a quantum spin liquid phase. The authors overcome here the challenges to perform neutron scattering experiments on highly absorbing Na $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ by aligning a large number of thin crystals. These experiments reveal a small gap in the magnetic excitations similar to the sister compound $α$ -RuCl $_{3}$ . However, Na $_{2}$ IrO $_{3}$ does not exhibit low-energy ferromagnetic excitations reflecting nearest-neighbor Kitaev and Heisenberg interaction terms with opposite signs.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Magnetic order in the van der Waals magnet ${VCl}_{3}$

Zeyu Kao, Yiqing Hao, Yimeng Gu, Lixing Chen, Enkang Zhang, Hao Zhang, Fabio Orlandi, Pascal Manuel, Junfeng Wang, Chao Dong, Chuanying Xi, Zefeng Chen, Changsong Xu, and Jun Zhao

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094428 (2026) - Published 13 March, 2026

Here, the authors report the synthesis of high-quality VCl $_{3}$ single crystals, a van der Waals honeycomb magnet exhibiting a structural transition at 103.7 K. Using neutron diffraction, they resolve a prominent zigzag magnetic order below 21.8 K, characterized by a specific 𝐤=(0, 0.5, 1) propagation vector. This zigzag order phase and an observed magnetization plateau establish VCl $_{3}$ as a premier platform for investigating anisotropic magnetism and field-induced phase transitions in two-dimensional honeycomb lattices.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spin $p − n$ junctions: Giant magnetoresistance, tunable circular polarization, and spin Zener filter

Chun-Yi Xue, Gang Su, and Bo Gu

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094437 (2026) - Published 18 March, 2026

The authors propose here a theoretical framework for spin $p - n$ junctions in magnetic semiconductors. They demonstrate that spin splitting induced band offsets fundamentally redefine carrier transport through spin-dependent recombination. This mechanism leads to a 100-times enhancement in magnetoresistance sensitivity and enables magnetically tunable circularly polarized luminescence. Furthermore, the authors introduce a “spin Zener filter” for high-efficiency spin injection, establishing these junctions as a versatile platform for integrated spintronic and optoelectronic devices.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Diamagnetic Meissner response of odd-frequency superconducting pairing from quantum geometry

Ankita Bhattacharya and Annica M. Black-Schaffer

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094501 (2026) - Published 2 March, 2026

Odd-frequency superconductivity is ubiquitous in multiband systems but is commonly believed to yield a paramagnetic Meissner response and thus be unstable. The authors show here that this paradigm breaks down once quantum geometry is considered. For general two-band superconductors, the authors establish that the geometric interband contribution to the Meissner response from odd-frequency pairing is in fact diamagnetic, thus stabilizing odd-frequency superconductivity. In flat-band systems this geometric contribution can even dominate the Meissner response, which identifies flat-band materials as promising platforms for robust odd-frequency superconductivity.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Intimate relationship between spin configuration in the triplet pair and superconductivity in ${UTe}_{2}$

Hiroki Matsumura, Yuki Takahashi, Riku Matsubayashi, Katsuki Kinjo, Shunsaku Kitagawa, Kenji Ishida, Yo Tokunaga, Hironori Sakai, Shinsaku Kambe, Motoi Kimata, Ai Nakamura, Yusei Shimizu, Yoshiya Homma, Dexin Li, Fuminori Honda, Atsushi Miyake, Dai Aoki, Tetsuya Furukawa, and Takahiro Sasaki

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094506 (2026) - Published 10 March, 2026

Spin-triplet superconductivity exhibits rich spin degrees of freedom, yet its field response remains unresolved. Here, the authors report Knight shift and ac susceptibility measurements on UTe $_{2}$ , revealing a rapid recovery of spin susceptibility near 5 T ( $H$ || $c$ ), well below $H_{c 2}$ . Concomitantly, $H_{c 2}$ increases when triplet spins align with the field. These results demonstrate a direct link between spin configuration and superconducting stability, indicating anisotropic pinning intrinsic to triplet pairing and drawing parallels with superfluid $^{3}$ He.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Coherence-mediated quantum thermometry in a hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture

Shaojiang Zhu, Xinyuan You, Alexander Romanenko, and Anna Grassellino

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094512 (2026) - Published 16 March, 2026

The authors propose here a quantum thermometry scheme based on hybrid circuit QED architecture, in which a long-lived coherent probe mode serves as phase reference and information buffer. Environmental thermal fluctuations induce random phase kicks that rotate the probe through a Kerr interaction; the kicks are subsequently detected via a high-fidelity qubit Ramsey interference signal. This coherence-mediated transduction isolates sensing from readout and enables interferometric thermometry in the ultra-low-occupation regime, providing a scalable route to coherence-enabled temperature sensing.

Interlayer sliding and two-stage superconductivity in pressurized $N b_{0.6} R e_{0.4} S e_{2}$

Can Tian, Chenchen Liu, Wuhao Chen, Yuchen Zhang, Yuqiang Fang, and Xiaoli Huang

Phys. Rev. B 113, 094516 (2026) - Published 18 March, 2026

Here, the authors report a pressure-driven interlayer sliding in Nb $_{0.6}$ Re $_{0.4}$ Se $_{2}$ that induces an unusual two-stage superconductivity. Synchrotron x-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy reveal an isosymmetric 2 $H_{c}$ -2 $H_{a}$ structural transition accompanied by phonon softening. Superconductivity emerges near the critical pressure $P_{c}$ and develops a nonmonotonic phase diagram, characterized by a prominent superconducting dome followed by a slow reentrant enhancement at higher pressures. The findings highlight interlayer sliding as an effective route to engineer complex superconducting states in layered materials.

From quantum geometry to nonlinear optics and gerbes: Recent advances in topological band theory

Tomáš Bzdušek

Phys. Rev. B 113, 099601 (2026) - Published 20 March, 2026

This Perspective explores recent advances in topological band theory, focusing on the quantum geometric tensor, delicate and multigap topology, and higher-form structures like bundle gerbes. It highlights how these geometric features relate to first- and higher-order optical responses, including the quantization of shift currents. By moving beyond conventional Berryology, these threads offer new insights into discovery and materials design for electronic and synthetic condensed matter systems.

PERSPECTIVE

Resonant Edelstein and inverse Edelstein effects, charge-to-spin conversion, and spin pumping from chiral-spin modes

Mojdeh Saleh, Abhishek Kumar, Dmitrii L. Maslov, and Saurabh Maiti

Phys. Rev. B 113, 099602 (2026) - Published 25 March, 2026

The Rashba effect is the cornerstone of fascinating quantum phenomena like spin-charge conversion via the Edelstein effect and its inverse, the spin-Hall effect and its inverse, etc. These have proved to be the foundation for spintronics. However, much of these effects focused on the diffusive regime of electron motion. In spin-orbit coupled systems of the Rashba type, there is a special type of collective spin excitations, known as chiral-spin modes (CSMs). Here, the authors demonstrate that if such systems are probed close to the frequency of the CSMs, the spin-charge conversion effects exhibit a resonant enhancement. Using the polarization properties of the CSMs, the authors also suggest an architecture for spin pumping using THz pulses without the use of magnetic materials that offers control over the polarization of the injected spins. This work offers an avenue to push spintronics to the THz regime.
