Defect in diamond with millisecond-scale spin relaxation time at room temperature

Sounak Mukherjee, Anran Li, Johannes Eberle, Sean Karg, Zi-Huai Zhang, Mayer M. Feldman, Yilin Chen, Mark E. Turiansky, Mengen Wang, Yogendra Limbu, Tharnier O. Puel, Yueguang Shi, Matthew L. Markham, Rajesh L. Patel, Patryk Gumann, Michael E. Flatté, Chris G. Van de Walle, Stephen A. Lyon, and Nathalie P. de Leon

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074105 (2026) - Published 13 August, 2026

Nitrogen-vacancy centers and substitutional nitrogen (P1 centers) in diamond have until now been the only solid-state electron spin defects known to reach millisecond spin relaxation times (T $_{1}$ ) at room temperature. Here, the authors report spin dynamics and optical spin polarization of the WAR5 defect in diamond, hypothesized to be the neutral oxygen vacancy center. Its T $_{1}$ is among the longest of any solid-state spin defect: ~1 ms at room temperature, rising to ~14 minutes at 4 K.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Coexistence of magnon and spinon excitations in ${SeCuO}_{3}$

Youngsu Choi, Dirk Wulferding, Kalaivanan Raju, Raman Sankar, and Kwang-Yong Choi

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074407 (2026) - Published 6 August, 2026

Using temperature-, field-, and angle-dependent Raman scattering, the authors observe here a sharp magnon coexisting with a broad spinon continuum in the quasi-one-dimensional quantum magnet SeCuO $_{3}$ . Both excitations exhibit identical angular dependence governed by the same Raman scattering symmetry. This common scattering symmetry demonstrates that coherent magnons emerge from the confinement of fractionalized spinons inherent to a one-dimensional quantum magnet.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Spin-Hall angle temperature dependence in $NiFe / {MnBi}_{2} {Te}_{4}$ heterostructures

A. S. Pakhomov, V. V. Yurlov, P. N. Skirdkov, M. V. Bakhmetiev, R. B. Morgunov, N. T. Hai, J. C. Wu, J. C. A. Huang, S. H. Su, C. F. Almeida Alves, E. Paz, A. I. Chernov, and K. A. Zvezdin

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074433 (2026) - Published 26 August, 2026

Pairing a ferromagnet with the MnBi $_{2}$ Te $_{4}$ offers a promising route to efficient spin-to-charge conversion, but how well it performs across temperature had remained unmapped. Combining ferromagnetic resonance with inverse spin-Hall voltage measurements from 20–290 K, the authors show here that the spin-Hall angle stays nearly constant below approximately 130 K, then becomes unreliable as spin rectification and shifting damping take over. The results establish the material as a robust platform for cryogenic spin-orbit and topological spintronics.

Simplex crystal ground state and magnetization plateaus in the spin- $\frac{1}{2}$ Heisenberg model on the ruby lattice

Pratyay Ghosh and Frédéric Mila

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074435 (2026) - Published 26 August, 2026

The authors demonstrate here that the antiferromagnetic spin-½ Heisenberg model on the ruby lattice with second-neighbor interactions realizes a simplex valence-bond crystal state. Although singlet formation on the hexagonal plaquettes of the lattice appears to be a natural choice, the system instead selects simplices composed of two neighboring triangles. An effective spin-chirality description reveals how the interplay of spin and chiral degrees of freedom associated with individual triangles stabilizes simplex-based crystal order.

EDITORS' SUGGESTION

Eightfold classification of superconducting orders

Alexander V. Balatsky and Saikat Banerjee

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074511 (2026) - Published 27 August, 2026

Superconductivity begins when electrons bind into pairs. Because electrons are fermions, exchanging the two partners in a pair must flip the sign of its wavefunction — and that minus sign can be paid for in four different currencies: the pair’s spin, its spatial shape, its orbital character, and, less obviously, the relative time between the two electrons. Sharing one minus sign among four ± choices leaves exactly eight allowed kinds of Cooper pair. Balatsky and Banerjee show here that this eightfold rule is one face of a larger structure. A pair also has a center of mass — a place and a moment — and a superconductor can order in those as well. Taking internal shape (ρ), internal timing (τ), spatial modulation (R), and temporal modulation (T) as four independent axes builds the Berezinskii–Abrahams hypercube: a sixteen-corner map of superconducting order. BCS sits at the origin; each single axis recovers a familiar family — $p$ - and $d$ -wave gaps, odd-frequency pairing, FFLO and pair-density waves, driven superconductors. The corners in-between are hybrids. A few have been touched; most are empty, and the far corner, with all four switched-on at once, has never been visited. The hypercube is at once a classification and a search map.

Observation of subharmonic charge-density-wave correlations in La-based cuprates

J.-S. Lee, S. A. Kivelson, H. Lee, T. Wang, Y. Ikeda, T. Taniguchi, C.-T. Kuo, M. Fujita, and C.-C. Kao

Phys. Rev. B 114, 074514 (2026) - Published 31 August, 2026

Suggestive but indirect evidence for pair-density-wave correlations has been reported in several high- $T_{c}$ cuprates, yet a bulk-sensitive scattering signature of the expected subharmonic charge response has remained elusive. Here, the authors use resonant soft x-ray scattering to identify a reproducible subharmonic charge density wave response near half the primary charge-ordering wave vector in two La-based cuprates. The response emerges in the stripe-ordered, layer-decoupled superconducting regime, where charge, spin, and superconducting correlations are intertwined.
