Magnetic adatoms on superconductors induce Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states, which are key to the design of low-dimensional correlated systems and topological superconductivity. Competing magnetic interactions and superconducting pairing lead…
Spin-orbit coupling in systems with broken inversion symmetry gives rise to the Edelstein effect, which is the spin polarization induced by an electric field or current, and the inverse-Edelstein effect (also known as the spin-galvanic…
Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures subjected to interlayer twists or heterostrains demonstrate structural superlubricity, leading to their potential use as superlubricants in micro- and nano-electro-mechanical devices. However,…
The Barnett effect, discovered more than a century ago, describes how an inertial body with otherwise zero net magnetic moment acquires spontaneous magnetization when mechanically spinning. Breakthrough experiments have recently shown that…
Chiral plasmonic nanostructures are rapidly emerging as ideal substrates for enantioselective sensing, chiral near-field engineering, and plasmon-assisted catalysis, owing to their exceptional sensitivity to structural handedness. However,…
Transient absorption spectroscopy is routinely used to study the electron dynamics in plasmonic gold nanoparticles. Typically, the transient absorption bleach is analyzed as measure for the electron temperature. However, the implicitly…
We propose an efficient numerical method to compute the $k$-space second Chern number in four-dimensional (4D) topological systems. Our approach employs an adaptive mesh refinement scheme to evaluate the Brillouin-zone integral, which…
Nonlinear magnetoconductivity (NLMC) is a nonreciprocal transport response arising in non-centrosymmetric materials. However, this ordinary NLMC signal vanishes at zero magnetic field, limiting its potential for applications. Here, we…

Spin-phonon interactions have a dual role in emerging spin-based quantum technologies. While they can be a limitation to device performance through decoherence, they also serve as a critical resource for coherent spin control, detection,…

Field emission from metals underpinned early vacuum-tube technology, and recent nanoscale engineering made field-emission devices compatible with modern silicon platforms. However, the limited tunability of electron transport in metals has…

Nuclear spins in $4f$ single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are promising qubits or qudits candidates for quantum information processing due to their relative isolation and reduced susceptibility to environmental disturbances, while hyperfine…
We develop a quantum kinetic theory of two-dimensional electron gases in which exchange is treated self-consistently at the Hartree-Fock level and enters as a nonlocal, momentum-dependent field in phase space. By starting from the Coulomb…
