Computation of thermal entropy for the doped Hubbard model

Yu-Feng Song, Youjin Deng, and Yuan-Yao He

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115101 (2026) - Published 4 August, 2026

The authors develop here a unified and highly efficient framework for computing thermal entropy in the doped Hubbard model. The framework comprises four complementary schemes that express the entropy as integrals over temperature, interaction strength, and chemical potential, with integrands involving only fundamental observables including total energy, fermion density, and double occupancy. They also derive useful Maxwell relations and grand potential formulas. The schemes are validated using numerically unbiased quantum Monte Carlo calculations, showing excellent cross-scheme consistency and quantitative agreement with other methods. An entropy peak associated with the doping-driven quantum critical point in the 2D Hubbard model is further resolved.

Complex nonlinear sigma model

Kazuki Yamamoto and Kohei Kawabata

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115112 (2026) - Published 17 August, 2026

Motivated by the recent interest in the criticality of open quantum many-body systems, the authors investigate here nonlinear sigma models with complexified couplings as a general framework for nonunitary field theory. Applying the perturbative renormalization group analysis to the tenfold symmetric spaces, the authors demonstrate that fixed points with complex scaling dimensions and critical exponents arise generically, without counterparts in conventional nonlinear sigma models with real couplings. The results elucidate universal aspects of critical phenomena in complexified field theory.

Ward identities and orbital magnetization in current density functional theory

Giovanni Vignale, Junren Shi, Di Xiao, and Qian Niu

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115113 (2026) - Published 17 August, 2026

If you think that the band theory of orbital magnetization is a closed chapter of condensed matter physics, think again. The original theory was developed for noninteracting electrons. But what if interactions are included? Current density functional theory offers a simple and formally exact way to include interactions. But the reason why this works is more subtle than the authors initially thought.

Nematic phase transitions in Bernal bilayer graphene

R. David Mayrhofer and Andrey V. Chubukov

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115114 (2026) - Published 17 August, 2026

In experiments on Bernal bilayer graphene under perpendicular electric field, quantum oscillations have shown the presence of electronic nematic states in some ranges of hole density. Here, the authors perform a Hartree-Fock study to numerically determine where nematic states develop in the system as hole density and displacement field are varied. Nematic phases are found close to the boundary between fully and partially isospin polarized phases. An analytic criterion for the appearance of nematicity is also derived. It is in good agreement with the numerical results.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Hybrid light-matter excitations and spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in two-dimensional Josephson junctions

V. Varrica, G. Falci, E. Paladino, and F. M. D. Pellegrino

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115401 (2026) - Published 3 August, 2026

Here, the authors show that inductive coupling between a superconducting resonator and a short, wide two-dimensional material-based Josephson junction induces a phase transition in the global light–matter ground state. The resulting phase, which spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry, carries a finite equilibrium supercurrent at phase difference $ϕ = π$ , where an isolated conventional Josephson junction carries no equilibrium supercurrent. The hybrid light–matter excitation spectrum provides spectroscopic fingerprints of the transition, while highly transparent transport channels determine the critical coupling.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Flash temperature in sliding contacts

M. H. Müser and B. N. J. Persson

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115407 (2026) - Published 14 August, 2026

Real surfaces are rough on many length scales, but flash-temperature theories have traditionally assumed single-scale contacts. Müser and Persson derive here an analytical multiscale theory of frictional heating and verify it against numerical simulations. They show that the classical models can fail dramatically for realistic rough surfaces. The work provides a quantitative framework for predicting thermal hotspots in systems ranging from rubber friction to earthquake faults.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Consistency of Dirac Hamiltonians and boundary conditions in finite graphene nanoribbons

Víctor Barrera-Figueroa, Manuel Gadella, Şengül Kuru, Javier Negro, and Yunia Verónica García-Tejeda

Phys. Rev. B 114, 115413 (2026) - Published 21 August, 2026

The electronic structure of graphene nanoribbons is determined by boundary conditions at their edges. Here, the authors establish a consistent continuum framework showing that zigzag and armchair boundary conditions must be imposed simultaneously in finite geometries. Tight-binding validation demonstrates that the continuum model reproduces the spectrum with machine-precision accuracy, establishing precise criteria for correctly applying Dirac Hamiltonians to realistic graphene nanostructures.

Orbital differentiation enhanced by structural modification in $\Pr_{4} {Ni}_{3} O_{10}$

Yidian Li, Mingxin Zhang, Xian Du, Cuiying Pei, Jieyi Liu, Houke Chen, Wenxuan Zhao, Kaiyi Zhai, Yinqi Hu, Senyao Zhang, Jiawei Shao, Mingxin Mao, Yantao Cao, Jinkui Zhao, Zhengtai Liu, Dawei Shen, Yaobo Huang, Makoto Hashimoto, Donghui Lu, Zhongkai Liu, Yulin Chen, Hanjie Guo, Yilin Wang, Yanpeng Qi, and Lexian Yang

Phys. Rev. B 114, L111105 (2026) - Published 13 August, 2026

Trilayer nickelates provide a tunable platform for investigating the interplay between structural geometry, electron correlation, and unconventional superconductivity. By directly comparing Pr $_{4}$ Ni $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ and La $_{4}$ Ni $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ , this work uncovers an orbital differentiation enhanced by structural modification in Pr $_{4}$ Ni $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ , where orbitals become selectively incoherent and significantly renormalized, while orbitals remain coherent. This dichotomy leads to a marked suppression of interorbital hybridization in Pr $_{4}$ Ni $_{3}$ O $_{10}$ . This work suggests that the interlayer bonding angle serves as an active tuning parameter for the electronic properties, bridging multiorbital correlated physics and superconductivity in nickelates.

Quintic-anharmonicity-assisted three-phonon scattering: A previously overlooked same-order channel to four-phonon scattering

Yi Xia

Phys. Rev. B 114, L111202 (2026) - Published 26 August, 2026

Four-phonon scattering is widely viewed as the leading higher-order correction to anharmonic phonon dynamics. Here, the authors identify a previously overlooked scattering channel, in which cubic and quintic anharmonicity combine to produce three-phonon-like scattering at the same perturbative order. First-principles calculations show that this mechanism rivals four-phonon scattering in silicon and can approach ordinary three-phonon scattering in strongly anharmonic AgCl, reshaping the microscopic picture of lattice dynamics and thermal transport.

Electroluminescence in dopant-free GaAs/AlGaAs single heterojunctions: Two-dimensional free excitons, H-band, and the tidal effect

N. Sherlekar, S. R. Harrigan, L. Tian, B. Khromets, B. Cunard, Y. Qi, M. C. Tam, H. S. Kim, Z. R. Wasilewski, J. Baugh, M. E. Reimer, and F. Sfigakis

Phys. Rev. B 114, L111301 (2026) - Published 6 August, 2026

The authors demonstrate here electrically generated and controllable 2D-like excitons in a heterostructure where such behavior would not normally be expected, and develop an analytical model to explain the results. The potential impact is twofold: the work introduces voltage-tunable H-band electroluminescence as a new gate-defined excitonic emitter platform, and it shows that single-heterojunction devices can support unexpectedly bright electroluminescence through electrostatic confinement rather than a conventional quantum well heterostructure.

Lifshitz transitions and isospin polarization in twist-decoupled monolayer-bilayer graphene

Alex Boschi, Leonardo Sabattini, Sergey Slizovskiy, Vaidotas Mišeikis, Zewdu M. Gebeyehu, Stiven Forti, Antonio Rossi, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Fabio Beltram, Vladimir I. Fal'ko, Camilla Coletti, and Sergio Pezzini

Phys. Rev. B 114, L111402 (2026) - Published 3 August, 2026

Flat band dispersion in two-dimensional materials is often associated with correlated electronic phases. Here, the authors show that a flat region in the valence band of bilayer graphene can be accessed by gapping it via proximity to a twisted monolayer graphene. Their experiments reveal a series of transitions driven by doping, electric and magnetic field (consistent with a single-particle description), as well as partially isospin‑polarized phases promoted by electronic correlations and preserved in presence of the twisted monolayer.
