AbstractDisorder in magnetic systems typically suppresses long-range order, promoting short-range states such as spin glasses and magnetic clusters. This is particularly prominent in high-entropy materials, characterized by the random distributions of local magnetic entities and exchange interactions. However, in rare exceptions, long-range magnetic order can persist in high-entropy systems, wh...

AbstractThe Boson peak (BP), an excess of vibrational density of states, is ubiquitous for amorphous materials and is believed to hold the key to understanding the dynamics of glass and glass transition. Previous studies have established an energy scale for the BP, which is ~ 1-10 meV or ~ THz in frequency. However, so far, little is known about the momentum dependence or spatial corr...

AbstractNoncollinear magnetic orders in monolayer van der Waals magnets are crucial for probing delicate magnetic interactions under minimal spatial constraints and advancing miniaturized spintronic devices. Despite their significance, achieving atomic-scale identification remains challenging. In this study, we utilized spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy and density functional theory ...

AbstractThe interplay between nontrivial band topology and layered antiferromagnetism in MnBi2Te4 has opened a new avenue for exploring topological phases of matter1,2,3,4. The quantum anomalous Hall effect5 and axion insulator state6 have been observed in odd and even number layers of MnBi2Te4, and the quantum metric nonlinear Hall effect7,8 has been shown to exist in this topological antiferr...

AbstractAlthough the kagome model is fundamentally two-dimensional, the essential kagome physics, i.e., the kagome-bands-driven emergent electronic states, has yet to be explored in the monolayer limit. Here, we present the experimental realization of kagome physics in monolayer Mo33Te56, showcasing both ferromagnetic ordering and a correlated insulating state with an energy gap of up to 15 me...

AbstractA reduced dimensionality of multiferroic materials is highly desired for device miniaturization, but the coexistence of ferroelectricity and magnetism at the two-dimensional limit is yet to be conclusively demonstrated. Here, we used a NbSe2 substrate to break both the C3 rotational and inversion symmetries in monolayer VCl3 and, thus, introduced exceptional in-plane ferroelectricity in...

AbstractThe delicate interplay among the complex intra/inter-layer electron–electron and electron–lattice interactions is the fundamental prerequisite of these exotic quantum states, such as superconductivity, nematic order, and checkerboard charge order. Here, we explore the filling-dependent multiple stable intertwined electronic and atomic orders of the flat-band state of 1T-TaS2 encompass...

AbstractThe quantum anomalous Hall effect in layered antiferromagnet MnBi2Te4 harbors a rich interplay between magnetism and topology, holding a significant promise for low-power electronic devices and topological antiferromagnetic spintronics. In recent years, MnBi2Te4 has garnered considerable attention as the only known material to exhibit the antiferromagnetic quantum anomalous Hall effect....

AbstractWith the discovery of colossal magnetoresistance materials and high-temperature superconductors, Mott insulators can potentially undergo a transition from insulating state to metallic state. Here, in molecular ferroelectrics system, a Mott insulator of (C7H14N)3V12O30 has been first synthesized, which is a 2D organic–inorganic ferroelectric with composition of layered vanadium oxide an...
