Description
An annual survey of the cond-mat.mes-hall arXiv category, covering research published from September 2025 – August 2026. Built on a close-reading set of 100 papers and organised into 40 chapters, it maps the year by the field's research sub-directions.
Book framework (share of the year's output):
- Thermal and Electron Transport Properties in High-Temperature Systems (19.4%) — Investigates thermal and electronic transport in high-temperature and strongly correlated systems.
- Spin Orbit Coupling and Altermagnetism in Modern Condensed Matter (12.4%) — Explores spin-orbit coupling and altermagnetic ordering in modern materials.
- Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics with Excitons and Magnons (12.2%) — Studies cavity quantum electrodynamics with excitonic and magnonic excitations.
- Topological Phases and Edge States (10.1%) — Explores topological phases of matter and the protected edge states they host.
- Magnetic Fields and Skyrmion Dynamics (8.2%) — Investigates magnetic fields, skyrmions, and their dynamical behaviour.
- Twisted Bilayer Graphene Moiré Flat Bands and Correlated Phases (7.6%) — Examines moiré flat bands and correlated phases in twisted bilayer graphene.
- Nonlinear Orbital Transport and Berry Curvature Geometry (6.8%) — Explores nonlinear orbital transport and the role of Berry curvature geometry.
- Hall Effect Phenomena in Quantum and Topological Materials (6.0%) — Studies quantum Hall and related effects in topological and quantum materials.
- Quantum Dots and Qubits: Noise, State Control, and Transport (4.7%) — Studies quantum dots, qubit control, noise, and transport in nanoscale devices.
- Josephson Junctions and Superconducting Diode Effects (4.5%) — Studies Josephson junctions, superconducting diodes, and their non-reciprocal transport.
- Non-Hermitian Physics and the Non-Hermitian Skin Effect (4.0%) — Investigates non-Hermitian physics and the skin effect in open quantum systems.
- Van Der Waals Heterostructures And Two-Dimensional Materials (3.9%) — Analyses van der Waals heterostructures and the properties of two-dimensional materials.
Each sub-direction is covered across three chapters — how it framed its questions, the strength of its key findings, and its open debates and frontiers — so the reader gets a traceable picture of what this part of the field actually produced over the year.
