Summary: In this study, the modification of low-temperature properties of quantum magnets was investigated using a mean-field-based approach, revealing the significant influence of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction on the physics. The anomalous density sign is changed by DM interaction, and the critical temperature of phase transition is positively shifted due to it. Additionally, the spectrum of low energy excitations shows a linear dispersion with a small anisotropy gap.

Summary: The spin dynamics of a quantum mechanical spin dimer with exchange and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction were investigated. The spin dimer exhibits periodic longitudinal relaxation between the initial and inverted spin spiral state. Analytical calculations were performed using a coordinate transfer to local coordinates, while numerical investigations were conducted by solving the Gisin-Schrodinger equation. The effects of damping and an external magnetic field perpendicular to the spiral plane were considered. The distinction between classical and quantum spin states was determined by computing the von Neumann entropy, which characterizes the entanglement change during longitudinal reversal.

Summary: This study predicts the existence of anisotropic conduction electron spin density in metals with heavy magnetic impurities, and suggests that this spin density is caused by spin-dependent skew scattering of heavy atoms. The spin density induces the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction between magnetic moments in metals, providing a flexible control mechanism for anisotropic couplings.

Summary: This study demonstrates the successful construction of a sharp interface with significant Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in spin-orbit-coupled transition-metal oxides through atomic design of defective interfaces. The interfacial inversion-symmetry breaking allows for reversible manipulation of the topological spin texture, leading to deterministic ON and OFF switching of the topological Hall signal. These defect-engineered topological spin textures may hold promise for future skyrmion-based memristor and synaptic devices.

Summary: A magnetic skyrmion, a particle-like spin swirling object, has a nontrivial topology and is seen as a promising next-generation information carrier in high-performance spintronic devices. This study delves into the magnetic properties of skyrmion-hosting materials stemming from DMI, highlighting the relationship between materials' point groups and DMI, as well as the common features of magnetic skyrmions experimentally verified in magnetization and magnetotransport measurements. Discussions also include other particle-like magnetic configurations in chiral magnets and their crossover with superconductors.

Summary: We investigated the dynamic spin susceptibility of an antiferromagnetic spin-1/2 Heisenberg chain with a uniform Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction in the presence of an external magnetic field using a hydrodynamic approach. We found that the transverse spin susceptibility exhibits two or three spin excitation modes, depending on the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the DM axis. The weak backscattering interaction between the spinons leads to a finite energy splitting between the optical branches of excitations at k = 0 in all cases. In the orthogonal geometry, the two lower spin branches show avoided crossing at finite momentum determined by the total magnetic field acting on spinons. Our approximate analytical calculations are in good agreement with numerical results obtained using matrix-product-state (MPS) techniques. The physical implications of our findings for electron spin resonance experiments are discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the dynamical behaviors of quantum-memory-assisted entropic uncertainty for a central two-qubit system. The results show that the uncertainty increases oscillatory and gradually with time, anti-correlated with the entanglement of the system. Near the critical point of quantum phase transition, sudden changes in uncertainty can be observed, serving as a new witness for the critical point. The number of spin sites in the environment affects the uncertainty, with strong coupling regimes being less sensitive to asymmetrical qubit-environment couplings.

Summary: Based on density functional theory calculations, the electronic structure and magnetism of monolayer 2H-FeTe2 were studied. The dispersion relation E(q) and E(-q) between energy and wave vector q of in-plane spin spiral at opposite directions was obtained. The Heisenberg interaction (HBI) and Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction (DMI) parameters (Ji and di) were extracted from the energy values using HBI with DMI model. It was found that collinear ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic states coexist in monolayer 2H-FeTe2, and the positive value of J3 plays a key role in the generation of ferromagnetism. The presence of intrinsic in-plane DMI is due to the broken inversion symmetry within the monolayer. This work contributes to the understanding of chiral spin textures in 2D magnets and the design of orbital spintronic electronic devices.

Summary: This study observes an intrinsic interlayer chiral interaction effect in a Pt/Co multilayer film and its synthetic antiferromagnetic counterpart with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. By applying a current parallel to the eigenvector of the interlayer interaction, the perpendicular magnetization of both structures can be switched without a magnetic field, providing a new possibility for practical perpendicular SOT-MRAM and other SOT devices.

Summary: The study examines the orthogonality time for different types of spin interactions with increasing number of environment qubits. It shows that the XX chain model has the shortest orthogonality time, while the Ising model has the longest time. The external field increases orthogonality numbers, while Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction decreases orthogonality time. Initial state settings and external fields significantly affect the decrease/increase of orthogonality time.

Summary: This study explores the dynamics of quantum entanglement and nonclassical correlations in a bipolar spin system, and finds that intrinsic decoherence deteriorates quantum correlations while the dipolar coupling constant weakens the oscillatory behavior but enhances the stability of entanglement and nonclassical correlations. Adjusting system parameters and coupling constants can mitigate the negative effects of intrinsic decoherence on quantum correlations, and the system's degree of purity is closely related to the amounts of entanglement and nonclassical correlations.

Summary: In this study, a binary ilmenite-type compound ε-Mn2O3 was synthesized under high-pressure high-temperature conditions, revealing it as an n-type semiconductor with a narrow indirect band gap and antiferromagnetic ordering. This suggests that high-pressure high-temperature conditions can induce charge disproportionation in simple transition-metal oxides, leading to the stabilization of various mixed-valence polymorphs with different structures.

Summary: In this study, we discover unconventional localized carriers with strong renormalization across the density-wave transition in KV3Sb5 through optical spectroscopy and density-functional calculations. We also observe strong phonon anomalies not only below the density-wave transition, but also at high temperatures, indicating a complex interplay between phonons and the underlying electronic structure. We propose star-of-David and tri-hexagon configurations for the density-wave order in KV3Sb5, which resemble the p-wave states expected in the Hubbard model on the kagome lattice with van Hove singularity filling.

Summary: The pressure evolution of the superconducting kagome metal CsV3Sb5 is studied using experimental and computational methods. The results show that pressure leads to a highly anisotropic compression due to the fast shrinkage of the Cs-Sb distances and suppression of Cs rattling motion. Additionally, it is found that Sb atoms play a central role in stabilizing the three-dimensional charge-density wave and Fermi surface reconstruction.

Summary: Temperature-dependent reflectivity measurements were conducted on the kagome metal CsV3Sb5 in a wide frequency range, with notable spectral-weight transfer attributed to the charge-density wave (CDW) formed below 94 K. A CDW gap of 60-75 meV was observed at the lowest temperature, showing significant deviations from an isotropic BCS-type mean-field behavior. The interband absorption peaks, as low as 200 cm(-1), are associated with band transitions according to density-functional calculations, with differences observed between CsV3Sb5 and KV3Sb5 compounds. Additionally, a temperature-dependent absorption feature below 1000 cm(-1) was assigned to a displaced Drude peak, indicating localization effects on charge carriers.
