Hybrid collective excitations in topological superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator heterostructures
Physical Review B: Condensed Matter and Materials Physics. 2026. Vol. 113. No. 10. Article 104514.
We develop a linear response theory for the dynamical proximity effect in topological superconductor/ferromagnetic insulator (TS/FI) hybrids. Our approach integrates the nonequilibrium quasiclassical Keldysh-Usadel formalism for the TS with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the FI's magnetization dynamics. This framework reveals a proximity-induced coupling between magnons and superconducting collective modes. Crucially, we find that spin-momentum locking in the TS surface state drives a hybridization between magnons and the superconducting Nambu-Goldstone (phase) mode, giving rise to composite magnon–Nambu-Goldstone excitations. We analyze the coupling strength's dependence on key parameters both analytically and numerically. In contrast, we demonstrate that the Higgs (amplitude) mode does not couple to magnons at linear order and is thus excluded from the hybrid excitation spectrum. The hybridization between magnons and the superconducting phase mode provides a mechanism for the interconversion of spin signals and the spinless signals carried by collective superconducting excitations, thereby giving impetus to the development of superconducting spintronics.

The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of ...

A model of the cathode layer of a glow gas discharge with a thin dielectric film on a fraction of the

Plasmonic nanostructures typically exhibit shifts in their resonant wavelength in response to changes in the refractive index of the surrounding medium. This limits their applications in scenarios requiring stable optical resonances. Here we present a metallic-dielectric hybrid metasurface that exhibits stable multi-wavelength resonance even if the refractive index of its surrounding varies. To quantitatively evaluate the stability of ...

We present a simple model that simulates the possible influence of one society on another. Specifically, two societies evolve deterministically according to the well-known Nowak-May spatial game with the addition of mutual influence through connections that reflect the current states of the societies. This may be related to the influence of a global information resource ...

We perform a Monte Carlo analysis of the Ising model on many three-dimensional lattices. By means of finite-size scaling we obtain the critical points and determine the scaling dimensions. As expected, the critical exponents agree with the three-dimensional Ising universality class for all models. The irrelevant field, as revealed by the correction-to-scaling amplitudes, appears to ...

This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

Diamonds with impurity-vacancy centers are an attractive material for microphotonics and can be used, for example, as single photon emitters. Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) with intrinsic single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are cheap and suitable for mass production. This paper proposes a way to overcome the two main properties of the DNDs: the tendency to agglomeration and ...

The magnetoresistance of superconductor–topological insulator–superconductor structures, with indium as the superconductor and TaSe3 as the topological insulator, shows steplike features on the resistance under magnetic fields. These resistance steps result from the suppression of superconductivity, induced by the superconducting proximity effect in both the bulk and surface states of the topological insulator.

In the ballistic regime at finite temperatures, the proximity effect diminishes following an exponential pattern; however, at low or zero temperatures, this transition alters to a decay characterized by a power law with a dimensionality-dependent exponent. Here, we extend the current understanding of the proximity effect by exploring the role of normal metal–superconductor (NS) junction ...
