Our investigations on bulk CrCl3 phonons suggest that in-plane spins are essential but specific spin configurations do not matter, which provides insights into recent magnetic-field-dependent thermal transport measurements.

Polymeric liquids exhibit complex and fascinating flow behavior. Despite the remarkable theoretical progress brought about by the tube model, understanding the molecular dynamics of long-chain molecules under flow still faces formidable challenges.

Magnetic skyrmions are topologically-nontrivial spin textures with potentially transformative applications in quantum computing and information storage. Skyrmions usually occur in crystals without a center of inversion symmetry.

The kagome net made of corner sharing triangles has long been studied as a source of magnetic frustration. More recently, interest has risen in the role of this frustrated geometry on electronic properties.

2D verbeekite, the monoclinic phase of PdSe2, was directly synthesized under the Se deficient condition using an ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition method.

Magnons in a honeycomb-lattice ferromagnet have an analogous description to the single-orbital tight-binding model for electrons in graphene.

Molten salts attract resurgent attention because of their unique physiochemical properties, making them promising media for next generation concentrating solar power systems and molten salt reactors, but many fundamental questions remain unanswered.

New computational architectures based on topological materials have been proposed that could be faster with simultaneously lower energy consumption.

The concept of “frustration” in spin systems is widely used to stabilize new states in thin films or crystals. Frustration indicates that spins have conflicting tendencies and a compromise spin state emerges from this competition.
