Hybrid superconductor-semiconductor nanowire Josephson junctions exhibit skewed and phi-shifted current phase relations when an in-plane magnetic field is applied along the weak link's spin-orbit effective field direction. These junctions…
We introduce a quantum information method for measuring fractional charges in ballistic quantum wires generalizing bipartite fluctuations to the chiral quasiparticles in Luttinger liquids, i.e. analyzing and summing charge and current…
Surface acoustic waves (SAWs), coherent vibrational modes localized at solid surfaces, have been employed to manipulate and detect electronic and magnetic states in condensed-matter systems via strain. SAWs are commonly excited in a…
Coulomb drag is a powerful tool to study interactions in coupled low-dimensional systems. Historically, Coulomb drag has been attributed to a frictional force arising from momentum transfer whose direction is dictated by the current flow.…
Graphene quantum point contacts (QPCs) in the quantum Hall regime host competing transport mechanisms including chiral edge propagation, valley degeneracy, and gate-induced mode mixing. Their interplay is not visible in conductance alone.…
We study experimentally the nonlinear propagation of short pulses of forward volume spin waves in nanometer-thick YIG films. We show that nonlinearity of the spin system can efficiently counteract dispersion broadening of the pulses,…
Elasticity has long been regarded as a property exclusive to material media. Here we uncover its hidden existence in the spin degree of freedom. We introduce spin elasticity-an intrinsic mechanism that governs recoverable deformation of…
In moir\'e graphene systems, electronic interactions lift spin and valley degeneracies, leading to symmetry-broken ground states. In helical trilayer graphene (HTG), we uncover a distinct interaction-driven mechanism in which the roles of…
Chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is a striking phenomenon in which spin-unpolarized electrons become spin-polarized after traversing a chiral medium. Theoretical studies have shown that spin-orbit coupling, geometric chirality, and…
State-of-the-art metallic terahertz (THz) emitters rely predominantly on spintronic heterostructures, where heavy metals serve as passive spin-to-charge converters. Here, we demonstrate efficient THz radiation from standalone Pt nanofilms…
Spin currents can be generated through various mechanisms, including the piezospintronic effect, which arises when strain or lattice distortions induce a change in the dipolar spin moment, causing a pure spin current without necessarily…
Band structure engineering in surface acoustic wave (SAW) metamaterials could advance both classical telecommunications and quantum information processing. However, no imaging technique has demonstrated the necessary capability to resolve…
Perovskite oxides display correlated electrical, magnetic, and thermal properties that can be further tuned in the thin-film limit, making them contenders for next-generation electronics. Measuring thermal transport in thin films is…
Quantum geometry governs a wide range of transport and optical phenomena in quantum materials. Recent works have explored analogue electromagnetism and gravity in terms of the quantum geometric tensor, whose real and imaginary parts…
We introduce a two-dimensional model of spin-1/2 Dirac fermions in graphene subjected to a highly tunable electric field, which exhibits super-Klein tunneling. The electric field can be continuously interpolated between two limiting…
We propose an approach to induce nontrivial bands with non-zero Chern numbers by utilizing strong spin-orbit coupling in transition metal dichalcogenides with dopants. We demonstrate that a doped state near the valence-band edge induces…
In this work, we formulate a theoretical model based on a cellular automaton (CA) to study thermal transport in low-dimensional nanostructures across ballistic, diffusive, and transition regimes. Unlike computationally intensive methods…
We propose encapsulating type-A antiferromagnetic semiconductors between graphene layers to realize a gate-tunable synthetic antiferromagnet with nonrelativistic spin splitting, enabling efficient spintronic transport via graphene. Ab…
Non-Hermitian disordered systems have emerged as a central arena in modern physics, with ramifications spanning condensed matter, quantum, statistical, and high energy contexts. The same principles also underlie phenomena beyond physics,…
