Abstract summary: We report experimental evidence of topological Dirac fermion charge carriers in pure and robust $alpha$-Sn films grown on InSb substrates. A surface band, with low carrier density and high mobility, is identified as the origin of the observed Shubnikov -- de Haas oscillations.

Abstract: We report experimental evidence of topological Dirac fermion charge carriers in pure and robust $\alpha$-Sn films grown on InSb substrates. This evidence was acquired using standard macroscopic four-point contact resistance measurements, conducted on uncapped films with a significantly reduced bulk mobility. We analyzed and compared electrical characteristics of the constituting components of the $\alpha$-Sn/InSb sample, and propose a three-band drift velocity model accordingly. A surface band, with low carrier density and high mobility, is identified as the origin of the observed Shubnikov -- de Haas oscillations. The analysis of these quantum oscillations results in a non-trivial value of the phase shift $\gamma =0$, characteristic for topologically protected Dirac fermions. For the same uncapped samples we estimate the momentum relaxation time $\tau\approx 300\ \mathrm{fs}$, which is significantly larger in comparison with the previous reports on grown $\alpha$-Sn films.

Quantum Fluctuations Suppress the Critical Fields in BaCo$_2$(AsO$_4$)$_2$ [0.0]
BaCo$$(AsO$_4$)$$ recently emerged as a candidate host for bond-dependent (e.g. Kitaev) and third-neighbor ($J_3$) interactions. We map out the intermediate and high-field phase diagram of BaCo$$(AsO$_4$)$ as a function of the out-of-plane magnetic field direction.

Metal-insulator transition and magnetism of SU(3) fermions in the square lattice [0.0]
We study the SU(3) symmetric Fermi-Hubbard model (FHM) in the square lattice at $1/3$-filling. We present the different regimes of the model in the $T-U$ plane, which are characterized by local and short-range correlations. We describe how the features of the regimes in the $T$-$U$ plane can be explored with alkaline-earth-like atoms in optical lattices.

Nanoscale inhomogeneity of charge density waves dynamics in La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_4$ [47.660421557330174]
We focus here on the spatial heterogeneity of the motion of charge density wave (CDW) at nanoscale in the archetypal case of La$_2-x$Sr$_x$NiO$_4+y$ perovskite at low temperature. We report compelling evidence that the unconventional increasing motion of CDW at T 50K is related with the decreasing of its correlation length using resonant soft X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) The key result of this work is the direct visualization of nanoscale spatial inhomogeneity of CDW relaxation dynamics by scanning micro X-ray diffraction

Entanglement and correlations in fast collective neutrino flavor oscillations [68.8204255655161]
Collective neutrino oscillations play a crucial role in transporting lepton flavor in astrophysical settings. We study the full out-of-equilibrium flavor dynamics in simple multi-angle geometries displaying fast oscillations. We present evidence that these fast collective modes are generated by the same dynamical phase transition.

Weyl metal SrRuO$_3$ thin films with different thicknesses were grown on miscut Sr$_3$ (001) substrates. Magneto-transport measurements were carried out in magnetic fields up to 35 T. We discovered a frequency $F approx$ 30 T at low temperatures and above 3 T that corresponds to a small Fermi pocket with a light effective mass.

Geometrical Hall effect and momentum-space Berry curvature from spin-reversed band pairs [0.0]
nanometric, noncoplanar spin textures with scalar spin chirality (SSC) are coupled to itinerant electrons. The resulting deflection of moving charge carriers is termed geometrical (or topological) Hall effect. We show that SOC mixes electronic bands with equal or opposite spin, while SSC is much more effective for opposite spin band pairs.

Gapless quantum spin liquid and global phase diagram of the spin-1/2 $J_1$-$J_2$ square antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model [1.2728971015881008]
We show that the intermediate nonmagnetic phase is a gapless quantum spin liquid (QSL), whose spin-spin and dimer-dimer correlations both decay with a power law behavior. We make the first detailed comparison between the results of PEPS and the well-established density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method through one-to-one direct benchmark for small system sizes.

Microscopic Relaxation Channels in Materials for Superconducting Qubits [76.84500123816078]
We show correlations between $T_$ and grain size, enhanced oxygen diffusion along grain boundaries, and concentration of suboxides near the surface. Physical mechanisms connect these microscopic properties to residual surface resistance and $T_$ through losses arising from the grain boundaries and from defects in the suboxides. This comprehensive approach to understanding qubit decoherence charts a pathway for materials-driven improvements of superconducting qubit performance.

Zitterbewegung and Klein-tunneling phenomena for transient quantum waves [77.34726150561087]
We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
