Rydberg excitons, characterized by large spatial extension and reduced electron-hole overlap, must have a spin-valley dynamics different from that of ground state excitons. Here we report a direct measurement of spin relaxation of Rydberg…
The distant dipolar field (DDF) is a long-range, nonlocal contribution to liquid-state spin dynamics that arises from intermolecular dipolar couplings and can generate multiple-quantum coherences and novel MRI contrast. Its sign-changing…
We use laser-based Angle-Resolved Photoemission Spectroscopy (ARPES) to study how chemical substitution modifies the electronic properties of the Bi2(Se{1-x}Tex)3 (BiSeTe) family of topological insulators. We find that increasing the Te…
The study of highly charged ions offers a unique platform for probing the breakdown of non-relativistic theory under the influence of extreme electromagnetic environments. Here, we investigate the photoabsorption of highly charged ions…
An injection system for polymer particles, with diameters ranging from 1 to 6 $\mu$m, has been developed for visualizing flows in superfluid $^4$He at temperatures down to 0.14 K. Using an ultrasound transducer, bursts of particles were…
Altermagnets constitute an emerging materials platform for spintronic technologies by combining compensated magnetic order with ferromagnet-like spin-split electronic bands. Here, we investigate the proposed d-wave altermagnetic material…
The deterministic switching of magnetic order parameters is critically important, as it forms the fundamental basis for manipulating information states in magnetic memory devices. This work presents a general theoretical framework that…
Chiral-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) describes the emergence of spin-polarized electron transport in chiral systems without magnetic fields, a remarkable effect in light-element materials with weak intrinsic spin-orbit coupling (SOC).…
A self-contained treatment of the Bogoliubov-Valatin transformation for homogeneous fermionic Hamiltonians is presented. The aim is to provide a quick reference that may also serve as supplementary material for a graduate-level course, and…
We introduce a non-phenomenological framework based on the influence functional method to incorporate simultaneous interactions of particles with fermionic and bosonic thermal reservoirs. In the slow-motion limit, the electronic friction…
Magnonic devices exhibit strong amplitude-dependent nonlinearities, which are detrimental to signal integrity in radio-frequency (RF) signal processing applications. They also limit the power that such magnonic devices may process. In this…
We present the screened multichannel Dyson equation for the simulation of both direct and inverse photoemission spectra from first principles. The screened multichannel Dyson equation improves upon the standard multichannel Dyson equation…
Superfluidity in $^3$He exhibits many unique properties that are of interest to modern condensed matter research, including multiple superfluid phase transitions, topological defects, and exotic classes of excitations like Majorana and Weyl…
We study the topological phase transition in a two-leg Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) ladder by redefining the unit-cell structure. For both identical hopping dimerization pattern (uniform) and alternate hopping dimerization pattern (staggered)…
In this study, we conduct experimental investigations on the behavior of confined self-propelled particles within a circular arena, employing small commercial robots capable of locomotion, communication, and information processing. These…
In this paper, we employ a modified Haldane lattice model to investigate the light-driven, spin- and valley-dependent anomalous Nernst effect in two-dimensional hexagonal topological systems. We demonstrate that two-dimensional buckled…
Inspired by the recent observation of the orbital Seebeck effect in alpha-quartz, we identify an intrinsic amplification mechanism for thermally generated phonon angular momentum and phonon magnetic moment in chiral insulators. We propose a…
Among the variety of quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), blue-emitting color centers, or B centers, have gathered a particular interest owing to their excellent quantum optical properties. Moreover, the fact that they can be…
Density functional theory at finite temperatures often relies on the zero-temperature approximation, which uses a ground-state exchange-correlation functional with thermalized densities. This approach, however, neglects the explicit…
We classify $1+1$d bosonic SPT phases with non-invertible symmetry $\mathrm{Rep}(G)\times G$, equivalently the fusion-category symmetry $\mathcal{H}=\mathrm{Rep}(G)\times\mathrm{Vec}_G$. Focusing on \emph{intrinsically mixed} phases…
