Summary: Researchers have discovered that all-metallic superconducting Dayem nanobridges exhibit nonreciprocal supercurrents under an external magnetic field, with a rectification efficiency of up to approximately 27%. The polarity of the diode can be tuned by varying the amplitude of an out-of-plane magnetic field or the temperature.

Summary: In this study, we investigate the anomalous response of a Josephson junction in two-dimensional electron systems with broken inversion and time-reversal symmetries. By utilizing both the Ginzburg-Landau formalism and the microscopic Green's functions approach, we analyze this phenomenon and calculate the magnitude of the critical current as well as the phase shifts in different cases.

Summary: In this study, we investigated the steady-state nonequilibrium behavior of mesoscopic superconducting wires connected to normal-metal reservoirs using quasiclassical theory. Our results showed that the critical bias voltage V-c for superconductivity breakdown generally increases as the interface transparency is reduced, with a nonmonotonous dependence on the mean-free path. Furthermore, we discussed the key differences between the ballistic and semiballistic regimes compared to the fully diffusive case.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the superconducting state in Sr2RuO4 can degenerate at an assumed tetracritical point. Spatially varying strain can lead to different states of the superconducting state, including those preserving time-reversal symmetry and those breaking it at region boundaries. This research shows that various natural patterns of strain induce a rich variety of superconducting textures, possibly resolving inconsistencies between theoretical proposals and experimental observations.

Summary: This study investigates the complex behavior of quadratic three-dimensional autonomous systems and discovers families of tori and periodic solutions involving canards. Through the application of time-reversal and symmetry, the analysis and origin of tori, periodic solutions, and the numerics of these objects in these systems are explained. Furthermore, the study reveals the existence of unbounded solutions and a new chaotic attractor in system NE9, as well as torus destruction through a period-doubling scenario.

Summary: In this paper, it is demonstrated that the material V0.027Bi0.973TeI with giant bulk Rashba effect and ferromagnetism can reverse its magnetization by self-generated spin-orbit torque. The giant bulk Rashba effect arises from both bulk space inversion asymmetry and strong spin-orbital coupling, while the ferromagnetism originates from the itinerant d-electrons of doped element vanadium. The efficiency of its field-like spin-orbit torque is determined to be as high as 4.53 x 10(-4) mT/(A cm(-2)), which is more than two orders of magnitude higher than that typically observed in magnetic heterostructures. It is further shown that by using such magnetic bulk Rashba material to form a homogenous spintronic device, the power consumption for magnetization switching can be significantly reduced.

Summary: Junctions between scanning tunneling microscope (STM) tip and superconducting twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) as well as TBG Josephson junctions (JJs) provide valuable insights into the symmetry of the superconductors' order parameter. Comparison of even and odd valley exchange superconducting phases (s-wave or f-wave) reveals that the critical current in mixed (s and f) JJs is strongly affected by the junction-lattice angle. Andreev reflection in STM-TBG junctions leads to a prominent subgap conductance peak in the case of f-wave, as observed in experiments.

Summary: In this study, the experimental evidence of the time-reversal symmetric Hall effect in high-mobility graphene-WSe2 heterostructures is provided. This dissipative Hall effect is linear and its sign depends on the charge carriers. It persists up to room temperature and can be tuned using an external electric field. The strain induced by lattice mismatch or alignment angle inhomogeneity breaks the inversion symmetry and produces anisotropic bands in graphene, leading to the appearance of a time-reversal symmetric Hall effect.

Summary: Dynamical processes induced by external time-dependent fields can offer valuable insights into the characteristic energy scales of a given physical system. We investigated these processes in a nanoscopic heterostructure, exploring subgap properties and characteristic features manifested in time-dependent charge currents. The rich spectrum of dynamical features, including multi-mode oscillations and photon-assisted harmonics, may be important for designing superconducting qubits.

Summary: ThIr2 is a weak coupling type-II superconductor with a fully isotropic superconducting gap. Electronic correlation is suggested to be important in ThIr2 based on its specific heat coefficient, upper critical field, Ginzburg-Laudau parameter, Wilson ratio, and Kadowaki-Woods ratio. The valence band states in ThIr2 are dominated by Ir-5d orbitals, with significant hybridizations with Ir-6p, Th-6d, and 7p orbitals at the Fermi level.

Summary: The study investigates the dynamics of a correlated quantum dot sandwiched between metal and superconducting leads, considering two experimentally feasible quenches. Using numerical renormalization group method, the interplay between electronic pairing and Coulomb repulsion on the dot is quantified. Time-dependent charge occupancy, pair correlation, transient currents, and evolution of subgap quasiparticles are analyzed, with signatures of 0-pi transition and damped quantum oscillations identified.

Summary: Research on many-body systems of quantum interacting particles with broken time-reversal symmetry is important for understanding a variety of collective behaviors. Quantum simulators are potential tools for exploring and understanding such systems. However, achieving programmable interactions, strong time-reversal symmetry breaking, and high-fidelity quantum control in a scalable manner is challenging.
