Author(s): Zhi-Yang Wang, Fei Yang, and Long-Qing ChenPolar skyrmions in ferroelectric superlattices are nanoscale topological polarization textures typically regarded as weakly coupled objects confined to individual layers, with a role secondary to that of the underlying symmetry-breaking order parameter. Here, using large-scale phase-field simulation…[Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 136602] Published Tue Sep 22, 2026
Author(s): Audrius Alkauskas, Chris G. Van de Walle, Lukas Razinkovas, and Ronald UlbrichtThe charge state stability of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers critically affects their application as quantum sensors and qubits. Understanding charge state conversion and equilibration is important not only for NV centers in diamond but also for defects and impurities in wide-bandgap materials in gen…[Phys. […]

Author(s): Chengyu Wang, C. T. Tai, N. Toemtrisna, A. Gupta, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. Baldwin, and M. ShayeganIn multilayer quantum Hall systems, when the layer separation is sufficiently small, the interplay between intralayer and interlayer Coulomb interactions can lead to exotic, multicomponent, many-body states. A particular example is the even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state at total filling […]

Author(s): Jun-Xiao Hui (辉隽骁) and Qing-Dong Jiang (蒋庆东)A newly predicted effect should provide a clean way to distinguish between a Bose-Einstein condensate of quasiparticles called excitons and a more mundane collection of these particles.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 136001] Published Tue Sep 22, 2026
Author(s): Lorenzo Tonetti, Leticia F. Cugliandolo, and Marco TarziaThe localization landscape theory (LLT) provides a classical picture of Anderson localization by introducing an effective confining potential whose percolation is proposed to coincide with the mobility edge. Although this proposal shows remarkable numerical agreement in three dimensions, its fundame…[Phys. Rev. Lett. 137, 136302] Published Tue Sep […]
