Cover Story: The effective manipulation of antiferromagnetic domain walls (AFM DWs) is central to the emerging field of antiferromagnetic spintronics. Robust control over AFM DWs remains a significant challenge. Caso et al. have investigated changes in magnetic force microscopy (MFM) and in the 2M magnon-related mode in Raman spectroscopy in AFM NiO films under a microwave pump. They observed a suppression of the magnon-related Raman mode and removal of magnetic textures in MFM images after the films were exposed to microwave excitation. This effect appears to be caused by the suppression of large antiferromagnetic domain walls due to the excitation of antiferromagnetic spin oscillations localized at the DWs within the AFM, and could reveal a new method to controlling AFM-DWs in antiferromagnetic spintronics. View this paper

Topological Phase Diagram of an Interacting Kitaev Chain: Mean Field versus DMRG Study

  • Giovanni Nunziante,
  • Alfonso Maiellaro,
  • Claudio Guarcello and
  • Roberta Citro

In this work, we study the topological phase transitions of a Kitaev chain generalized by the addition of nearest-neighbor Coulomb interaction. We show the presence of a robust topological phase as a function of the interaction strength and of the on...

The Shrinking Fermi Liquid Scenario for Strange-Metal Behavior from Overdamped Optical Phonons

  • Giovanni Mirarchi,
  • Marco Grilli,
  • Götz Seibold and
  • Sergio Caprara

We discuss how the interaction of electrons with an overdamped optical phonon can give rise to a strange-metal behavior over extended temperature and frequency ranges. Although the mode has a finite frequency, an increasing damping shifts spectral we...
