High-throughput discovery of perturbation-induced topological magnons
Journal Article Npj Computational Materials · December 1, 2025 Topological magnons give rise to possibilities for engineering novel spintronics devices with critical applications in quantum information and computation, due to their symmetry-protected robustness and low dissipation. However, to make reliable and system ... Full text CiteObservation of a gapped phase in the one-dimensional (Formula presented) Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain Cu(Ampy)ClBr
Journal Article Physical Review B · October 22, 2025 Spin- (Formula presented) Heisenberg antiferromagnetic frustrated spin-chain systems display exotic ground states with unconventional excitations and distinct quantum phase transitions as the ratio of next-nearest-neighbor to nearest-neighbor coupling is t ... Full text CiteObservation of Unprecedented Fractional Magnetization Plateaus in a New Shastry-Sutherland Ising Compound
Journal Article Physical Review X · October 1, 2025 Geometrically frustrated magnetic systems, such as those based on the Shastry-Sutherland lattice (SSL), offer a rich playground for exploring unconventional magnetic states. The delicate balance between competing interactions in these systems leads to the ... Full text CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
