Demagnetization‐Driven Nanoscale Chirality‐Selective Phonon Transport
Chiral heat flow is switched in a ferromagnet/chiral α‐SiO2 heterostructure by controlling the angular momentum of demagnetization‐driven chiral phonons. When phonon handedness matches the crystal chirality, nanoscale thermal transport is enhanced; the opposite handedness suppresses transport, establishing a magnetization‐tunable chiral phonon diode ...

Robust Spin Splitting and Fermiology in the Layered Altermagnet CoNb4${\rm CoNb}_4$Se8${\rm Se}_8$
The emergence of an altermagnetic phase is demonstrated in the cobalt‐intercalated superconducting 2H‐NbSe2 polymorph. A combined theoretical and experimental approach directly probes the magnetism, the altermagnetic lifting of Kramers degeneracy, and the electronic phase space, establishing CoNb4Se8 as the first g‐wave altermagnetic layered material ...
