Observation of body-centered cubic iron above 200 gigapascals

Zuzana Konôpková et al.

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094103 (2026) - Published 10 August, 2026

Under Earth’s core-like pressures, iron’s expected hexagonal structure energetically competes with other cubic forms. This study probes the state of iron near its melting temperature using series of femtoseconds x-rays pulses of the European XFEL. Between 120–160 GPa, a stable hexagonal phase is confirmed, with brief transient disordered or cubic phases appearing. Above 200 GPa, a new diffraction peak emerges, characteristic of a body-centered cubic (bcc) structure. Following this uncommon kinetic and pressure-temperature path, the bcc structure is shown to be stable, providing exciting insights into the kinetics, stability, and transformation mechanisms of iron under these conditions.

X-ray imaging of antiferromagnetic cluster octupole domains in Mn3Sn

M. T. Birch, S. Wintz, Y. Sun, A. Kikkawa, M. Weigand, T. Arima, and Y. Tokura

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094409 (2026) - Published 6 August, 2026

Here, the authors use element-specific x-ray microscopy to image antiferromagnetic cluster octupole domain structures in focused ion-beam fabricated Mn3Sn devices. The magnetic contrast arises from pre-edge x-ray magnetic circular dichroism that is independent of the small net moment, revealing how mesoscale textures evolve under applied magnetic fields and link to the anomalous Hall response. The results establish x-ray microscopy as a powerful route to image domain structures in time-reversal symmetry breaking antiferromagnets.

Quantum oscillation fingerprints of altermagnetism in hole-doped RuO2

Yuchi Yang and Yusheng Hou

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094410 (2026) - Published 6 August, 2026

Here, the authors focus on a representative pair of simple closed-pocket Fermi surfaces in hole-doped RuO2 and establish a quasilinear correlation between the local magnetic moment of Ru atoms and quantum-oscillation-based signature of spin splitting. Combined with the distinct quantum oscillation characteristics of the nonmagnetic, intermediate, and stable altermagnetic regimes, this correlation provides experimentally accessible fingerprints for identifying magnetic states and tracking altermagnetic spin splitting in hole-doped RuO2.

Demagnetization effect on magnetic noise measurements in spin ice materials

F. Morineau, C. Paulsen, G. Balakrishnan, D. Prabhakaran, K. Matsuhira, S. R. Giblin, and E. Lhotel

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094433 (2026) - Published 25 August, 2026

Magnetic noise spectroscopy provides direct access to spontaneous magnetization fluctuations in correlated magnetic systems. Here, the authors investigate how demagnetizing fields influence magnetic noise spectra. By combining magnetic noise and ac susceptibility measurements across samples of different sizes and shapes, they show that sample geometry plays a decisive role in the measured fluctuations and must therefore be treated as a key experimental control parameter when probing intrinsic dynamics. Their results underscore the importance of boundary conditions and establish a framework for quantitatively comparing magnetic noise measurements with microscopic theories.

Proof of the absence of local conserved quantities in general spin-12 chains with symmetric nearest-neighbor interaction

Mizuki Sanatani, Yuuya Chiba, and Naoto Shiraishi

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094437 (2026) - Published 28 August, 2026

Integrable quantum spin chains are distinguished by infinitely many nontrivial local conserved charges, whereas generic systems are expected to have none. Here, the authors prove this expectation for spin-½ chains with symmetric nearest-neighbor interactions. Outside the known integrable families, no model has even one such charge. Thus, within this class, there is no intermediate possibility: a chain is either in a known integrable family, with infinitely many such charges, or has none.

Magnetoelasticity in Fe/GaAs(110) films: Depth profile of magnetic anisotropy

Aleksandra Lindner, Rodolfo A. Gallardo, Andreas Henschke, Fabian Ganss, Javier Pablo-Navarro, Gabriel Gray, Ruslan Salikhov, Kilian Lenz, Toni Hache, Dirk Sander, Gauravkumar Patel, Sebastian Fähler, Olav Hellwig, Jürgen Fassbender, and Jürgen Lindner

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094438 (2026) - Published 31 August, 2026

The authors report here the coexistence of cubic and uniaxial magnetic anisotropies in thick epitaxial bcc Fe(110)/GaAs(110) films, with the latter having a magnitude comparable to that of the former. Their interplay stabilizes an in-plane easy axis along the ⟨001⟩ directions that persists throughout the film volume for thicknesses up to 100 nm. This unconventional behavior gives rise to a depth-dependent magnetic response, with perpendicular standing spin-wave modes exhibiting distinct sensitivities to different regions of the film thickness. The study further identifies anisotropic strain as the microscopic origin of the observed in-plane uniaxial anisotropy.

Quasiparticle GW for superconductors: Toward a unified treatment of electron-phonon and electron-plasmon couplings

Catalin D. Spataru, Christopher Renskers, and Elena R. Margine

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094501 (2026) - Published 3 August, 2026

Here, the authors extend quasiparticle GW theory to the superconducting state, combining Eliashberg electron-phonon pairing with dynamical Coulomb screening from plasmons. The resulting superconducting quasiparticle GW (s-qpGW) framework avoids the spurious plasmon-driven superconductivity of fully self-consistent GW, reproduces standard Eliashberg results for bulk Nb, and correctly predicts the absence of superconductivity in doped monolayer graphene, while revealing how acoustic plasmons can reduce Coulomb pair breaking in two-dimensional systems.

Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in Ising superconductors

Michael Hein, Juan Carlos Cuevas, and Wolfgang Belzig

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094502 (2026) - Published 5 August, 2026

Ising superconductors are two-dimensional materials that can host an unconventional superconducting state stabilized by strong spin-valley locking. Here, the authors theoretically propose the use of magnetic impurities as local probes of the superconducting state by studying Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states. They identify experimentally accessible signatures, including the bound-state spectrum and the supercurrent between the sample and a superconducting STM tip.

μSR study of time-reversal symmetry constraints and bulk superfluid response in Li0.95FeAs

Rustem Khasanov, Hubertus Luetkens, and Nikolai D. Zhigadlo

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094509 (2026) - Published 13 August, 2026

Here, the authors use zero- and transverse-field muon-spin rotation/relaxation to probe multiband, multigap superconductivity in Li0.95FeAs, a representative 111-family Fe-based superconductor. They find no detectable time-reversal-symmetry breaking and a bulk superfluid response consistent with nodeless superconductivity. By comparing the measured superfluid density with band weights derived from published photoemission studies, they show that sheets carrying intermediate and small gaps dominate, while the largest-gap sheet contributes only weakly, reconciling gap scales reported by bulk- and surface-sensitive probes.

Proof of the absence of local conserved quantities in general spin-12 chains with symmetric nearest-neighbor interaction

Mizuki Sanatani, Yuuya Chiba, and Naoto Shiraishi

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094437 (2026) - Published 28 August, 2026

Integrable quantum spin chains are distinguished by infinitely many nontrivial local conserved charges, whereas generic systems are expected to have none. Here, the authors prove this expectation for spin-½ chains with symmetric nearest-neighbor interactions. Outside the known integrable families, no model has even one such charge. Thus, within this class, there is no intermediate possibility: a chain is either in a known integrable family, with infinitely many such charges, or has none.

The authors report here the coexistence of cubic and uniaxial magnetic anisotropies in thick epitaxial bcc Fe(110)/GaAs(110) films, with the latter having a magnitude comparable to that of the former. Their interplay stabilizes an in-plane easy axis along the ⟨001⟩ directions that persists throughout the film volume for thicknesses up to 100 nm. This unconventional behavior gives rise to a depth-dependent magnetic response, with perpendicular standing spin-wave modes exhibiting distinct sensitivities to different regions of the film thickness. The study further identifies anisotropic strain as the microscopic origin of the observed in-plane uniaxial anisotropy.

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094501 (2026) - Published 3 August, 2026

Here, the authors extend quasiparticle GW theory to the superconducting state, combining Eliashberg electron-phonon pairing with dynamical Coulomb screening from plasmons. The resulting superconducting quasiparticle GW (s-qpGW) framework avoids the spurious plasmon-driven superconductivity of fully self-consistent GW, reproduces standard Eliashberg results for bulk Nb, and correctly predicts the absence of superconductivity in doped monolayer graphene, while revealing how acoustic plasmons can reduce Coulomb pair breaking in two-dimensional systems.

Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in Ising superconductors

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094502 (2026) - Published 5 August, 2026

Ising superconductors are two-dimensional materials that can host an unconventional superconducting state stabilized by strong spin-valley locking. Here, the authors theoretically propose the use of magnetic impurities as local probes of the superconducting state by studying Yu-Shiba-Rusinov bound states. They identify experimentally accessible signatures, including the bound-state spectrum and the supercurrent between the sample and a superconducting STM tip.

μSR study of time-reversal symmetry constraints and bulk superfluid response in Li0.95FeAs

Phys. Rev. B 114, 094509 (2026) - Published 13 August, 2026

Here, the authors use zero- and transverse-field muon-spin rotation/relaxation to probe multiband, multigap superconductivity in Li0.95FeAs, a representative 111-family Fe-based superconductor. They find no detectable time-reversal-symmetry breaking and a bulk superfluid response consistent with nodeless superconductivity. By comparing the measured superfluid density with band weights derived from published photoemission studies, they show that sheets carrying intermediate and small gaps dominate, while the largest-gap sheet contributes only weakly, reconciling gap scales reported by bulk- and surface-sensitive probes.
