Article Abstract
A Feynman diagram analysis of photoemission probabilities suggests a relation between two final-state spin polarization effects, the optical spin-orientation originating from the interaction with circularly polarized light ([Formula: see text], Fano effect) and the spin polarization induced by the spin-orbit scattering ([Formula: see text], Mott effect). The analysis predicts that [Formula: see text] is proportional to the product of [Formula: see text] and the circular dichroism in the angular distribution (CDAD) of photoelectrons. To confirm this prediction, the spin polarization of photoelectrons excited by soft x-ray radiation from initial spin-degenerate bulk states of tungsten using time-of-flight momentum microscopy with parallel spin detection has been measured. By measurement of four independent photoemission intensities for two opposite spin directions and opposite photon helicity, CDAD, Fano, and Mott effect are distinguished. The results confirm the prediction from the Feynman diagram analysis.

The unabating discovery of nanoskyrmions in centrosymmetric magnets challenges the conventional Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) skyrmion stabilization mechanism. We investigate Gd_{2}PdSi_{3} using polarized resonant x-ray scattering and find that the low-field incommensurate modulations are elliptical helices, evolving into spin-density waves at higher fields. Quasi-2D magnetism arises via local DM interactions generated by inversion symmetry breaking around Gd-Gd bonds, which we characterize using atomistic simulations.

We propose a spatially inhomogeneous matrix product Ansatz for an exact many-body density operator of a boundary-driven XXZ quantum circuit. The Ansatz has formally infinite bond dimension and is fundamentally different from previous constructions. The circuit is driven by a pair of reset quantum channels applied on the boundary qubits, which polarize the qubits to arbitrary pure target states.

Femtosecond laser excitation of nanometer thin heterostructures comprising a heavy metal and a magnetically ordered material is known to result in the emission of terahertz radiation. However, the nature of the emitted radiation from heavy metal/antiferromagnet heterostructures has sparked debates and controversies in the literature. Here, we unambiguously separate spin and charge contributions from Pt/NiO heterostructures by introducing an unprecedented methodology combining high external magnetic fields with a symmetry analysis of the emitted terahertz polarization.

Magnetic two-dimensional van der Waals (vdWs) materials hold potential applications in low-power and high-speed spintronic devices due to their degrees of freedom such as valley and spin. In this Letter, we propose a mechanism that uses stacking engineering to control valley polarization (VP), ferroelectricity, layer polarization (LP), and magnetism in vdWs bilayers. Through first-principles calculations, we predict that the T-VSI monolayer is a magnetic semiconductor with a sizable VP.
