Strong electron correlations and ligand hybridization for altermagnetism

Byungkyun Kang, Anderson Janotti, Dai Q. Ho, Myoung-Hwan Kim, Chul Hong Park, Sangkook Choi, Mark R. Pederson, and Eunja Kim

Phys. Rev. B 114, 295105 (2026) - Published 5 November, 2026

Altermagnetism arises from the breaking of time-reversal symmetry in antiferromagnets, leading to spin-band splitting. However, recent reports indicate inconsistencies in its observation in strongly correlated materials. Here, the authors employ dynamical mean-field theory to show that strong correlations in MnF2 suppress spin-band splitting, whereas MnTe exhibits significant spin-band splitting due to both strong correlations and sizable ligand hybridization, establishing it as an ideal altermagnetic candidate. These findings provide a pathway for designing altermagnets in strongly correlated systems.

Correlated insulating states in twisted double bilayer graphene on CrOCl enhanced by interfacial charge transfer effect

Ning Ma, Zekang Zhou, Chiara Cocchi, Maurice Bal, Maarten van Delft, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Steffen Wiedmann, Jian-Hao Chen, and Mitali Banerjee

Phys. Rev. B 114, L291101 (2026) - Published 4 November, 2026

Here, the authors investigate electrical transport in twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG) on the antiferromagnetic material CrOCl (COC). At ultrahigh magnetic fields, an enhanced correlated insulating state is observed at half-filling of TDBG, which is attributed to the charge transfer effect between TDBG and COC. The authors further characterize the behavior of the correlated state by systematic temperature- and magnetic-field dependent measurements. Their results highlight the interfacial charge-related effect as a promising approach to manipulating the correlated states in moiré systems.

Conductivity of a non-Galilean-invariant Fermi liquid: Exact solution of the kinetic equation

Tatia Kiliptari, Vladimir I. Yudson, and Dmitrii L. Maslov

Phys. Rev. B 114, L291103 (2026) - Published 12 November, 2026

In a Fermi liquid, the quasiparticle scattering rate scales as T2, whereas the low-temperature correction to the residual resistivity can scale as T4, seemingly implying a strongly suppressed current-relaxation rate. The authors resolve this paradox here by solving the kinetic equation exactly for a disordered, non-Galilean-invariant Fermi liquid. They show that electron–electron collisions enter the conductivity through the quasiparticle scattering time itself, which controls the crossover between collisionless and hydrodynamic transport. The extra T2 factor arises because momentum conservation makes the change in the total velocity of two colliding electrons vanish on the Fermi surface, so current relaxation comes only from thermally excited states away from it. The electron–electron contribution to the dc conductivity nevertheless remains parametrically small throughout the Fermi-liquid regime. By extrapolating the result toward a z=3 quantum critical point, the authors further show that the renormalized quasiparticle scattering rate saturates the Planckian bound.

First-principles cumulant approach to the vibronic structure of spin defects

Jinsoo Park, Yu Jin, Arpan Kundu, Jorge O. Sofo, and Giulia Galli

Phys. Rev. B 114, L291402 (2026) - Published 5 November, 2026

Spin defects are promising building blocks for quantum technologies, but predicting how atomic vibrations reshape their electronic spectra remains challenging. Here, the authors employ a first-principles cumulant Green’s function approach that captures repeated phonon emission and absorption. For the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond, quantum zero-point motion produces multiphonon satellites spanning 400 meV even at zero temperature. The satellite energies and intensities depend strongly on spin and orbital character, revealing how individual defect states interact with the surrounding lattice.
