The three-dimensional (3D) topological insulators (TIs), hosting topologically protected helical surface states, can be promoted into second-order TIs when a diagonal Zeeman term, typical of magnetic doping, is introduced. The latter hosts…
Chiral spin textures such as skyrmions have attracted considerable attention due to their nontrivial topology, chirality, stability at the nanoscale, and potential for low-power spintronic devices. The recent discovery of intrinsic…
Miniaturized, ultra-sensitive and easily integrable magnetometers are needed for many applications, like space exploration or health monitoring. Achieving this goal requires a magnetic sensor with high sensitivity and low noise. High…
Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond are of great interest for nano- and macro-scale magnetic field sensing. Most sensing protocols rely on conventional optical readout, which is limited by photon shot noise. The recently developed…
Superconducting resonators coupled to solid-state qubits offer a scalable architecture for long-range entangling operations and fast, high-fidelity readout. Realizing this requires low photon-loss rates and qubits with tunable electric…
We propose a methodology to detect weak Lorentz-violating (LV) backgrounds through the nonlinear shift photocurrent in noncentrosymmetric crystals. Using a spinful Rice--Mele model, we show that a LV background induces a momentum-odd…
We develop a symmetry-adapted multipolar $\mathbf{k}\cdot\mathbf{p}$ theory close to the bulk $\Gamma$ point for time-reversal-symmetric, noncentrosymmetric $C_{3v}$ crystals in the strong atomic spin-orbit-coupling ($jj$-coupling) limit.…
We develop a symmetry-controlled theory of anisotropic thermomagnonic torques in insulating altermagnets. We identify a spin-splitter magnonic torque linked to thermally generated, sublattice-odd spin currents and an anisotropic entropic…
We explore the emergence of topological phases in moir\'{e} MoTe$_2$/WSe$_2$ bilayer, highlighting the crucial role of spin-orbit coupling and Coulomb interactions at two holes per moir\'e unit cell \(v = 2\). Our analysis uncovers robust…
We demonstrate that the slot between parallel metal gates placed above two-dimensional electron system (2DES) forms a plasmonic cavity with unconventional mode quantization. The resonant plasmon modes are excited when the slot width $L$ and…
Transistor miniaturization requires controlling gate leakage through ultrathin dielectrics and minimizing source/drain contact resistance. Although two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors offer excellent electrostatic control, their interfaces…
Quantum geometry is universally bounded from below by Wilson-loop windings. In this work, we define an isolated set of bands to be Wilson-loop-ideal, if their quantum metric saturates the Wilson-loop lower bound. The definition naturally…
We compute the second-harmonic response of two-dimensional topological Dirac semimetals subjected to an external in-plane magnetic field. The quantum kinetic equation for the Wigner distribution function is derived and then solved to…
In antiferromagnetic spintronics, accessing the spin degree of freedom is essential for generating spin currents and manipulating magnetic order, which generally requires lifting spin degeneracy. This is typically achieved through…
One of the most important physical effects in condensed matter physics is the Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC), introduced in seminal works by Emmanuel Rashba. In this article, we discuss, describe, and review (providing critical…
We propose a unified framework, dubbed topological word, for the complete non-Abelian bulk-boundary correspondence in multigap non-Abelian topological insulators. Composed by an ordered sequence of letters, each a non-Abelian charge…
We develop a theory for the second-order time-reversal-odd ($\mathcal{T}$-odd) angular-momentum current, incorporating both spin and orbital components. We reveal that besides spin and orbital Berry curvature dipoles, $\mathcal{T}$-odd…
Voltage-driven memristive switching has been reported in molecular junctions, yet its microscopic origin often remains elusive. Here, we study three rigid OPE-like derivatives that lack an obvious internal switching pathway using…
We show that the inverse Faraday effect can be used to engineer dipole--exchange spin-wave spectra in ferrimagnetic bismuth iron garnet (BIG) Mie spheres. Internal optical Mie resonances generate spatially structured effective magnetic…
We develop a general theory of high-harmonic generation (HHG) in solid-state systems, based on a weak-correlation expansion of photonic and matter degrees of freedom. Unlike standard HHG theories, which treat light-matter dynamics through…
