Spin waves, or magnons, are fundamental excitations in magnetic materials that provide insights into their dynamic properties and interactions. Magnons are the building blocks of magnonics, which offer promising perspectives for data storage, quantum computing, and communication technologies. [...]

This work revisits the $K^+$-ion-conducting $K_{3–x}Sb_{1–x}W_xS4$ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.10) system and finds a more complex structural scenario than previously reported. $K_3SbS_4$ does not only crystallize in the reported $Cmc2_1$ space group but also in a structure best described in the $R3c$ space group. [...]

In the structure of hydrogels, nonchemical cross-linking structures (intermolecular interaction and chain entanglement), which are usually formed by some specific functional groups, significantly impact the mechanical properties. Leveraging these functional groups can impart unique application properties to the hydrogel. [...]

Recent advances in manipulating orbital degrees of freedom in electronic systems have sparked interest in the novel field of orbitronics, emphasizing the need to integrate it with existing spintronic paradigms in next-generation devices. Here, we outline the principle of quantum orbital-to-spin conversion, a mechanism that converts the quantized orbital Hall effect into the quantum spin Hall effect by ferroelectricity. [...]
