We study the existence and stability of localized states in the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation on two-dimensional nonsquare lattices. The model includes both the nearest-neighbor and long-range interactions. For the fundamental strongly localized soliton, the results depend on the coordination number, i.e., on the particular type of lattice. The long-range interactions additionally destabilize the discrete soliton, or make it more stable, if the sign of the interaction is, respectively, the same as or opposite to the sign of the short-range interaction. We also explore more complicated solutions, such as twisted localized modes and solutions carrying multiple topological charge (vortices) that are specific to the triangular and honeycomb lattices. In the cases when such vortices are unstable, direct simulations demonstrate that they typically turn into zero-vorticity fundamental solitons.

ASbMnO (A = K or Rb): New Mn-Based 2D Magnetoplumbites with Geometric and Magnetic Frustration.
Adv Mater

Department of Chemistry, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 15260, USA.
Magnetoplumbites are one of the most broadly studied families of hexagonal ferrites, typically with high magnetic ordering temperatures, making them excellent candidates for permanent magnets. However, magnetic frustration is rarely observed in magnetoplumbites. Herein, the discovery, synthesis, and characterization of the first Mn-based magnetoplumbite, as well as the first magnetoplumbite involving pnictogens (Sb), ASbMnO (A = K or Rb) are reported.

This work establishes links between the Ising model and elliptic curves via Mahler measures. First, we reformulate the partition function of the Ising model on the square, triangular, and honeycomb lattices in terms of the Mahler measure of a Laurent polynomial whose variety's projective closure defines an elliptic curve. Next, we obtain hypergeometric formulas for the partition functions on the triangular and honeycomb lattices and review the known series for the square lattice.

Article Synopsis
- The standard model for fractional quantum anomalous Hall (FQAH) effect typically assumes a flat and isolated Chern band, but this study questions that view by focusing on pentalayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride.
- Through advanced calculations, researchers found that interaction effects produce a significant band gap, leading to stable FQAH states even without the moiré superlattice potential.
- The findings suggest that the QAH insulator at filling ν=1 behaves like an interaction-driven topological Wigner crystal, inviting further exploration of topology and FQAH in systems with low moiré potential.

Article Synopsis
- The kagome lattice is important for studying complex electronic states, but creating it in 2D semiconductors for practical uses is difficult.
- A new approach involves using a coloring-triangle lattice within a modified triangular lattice to generate kagome-like bands.
- Researchers discovered these low-energy kagome-like bands in a 7-layer-thick 2D semiconductor, CrSe, which has unique properties linked to its atomic structure and electron interactions.

Honeycomb and kagome lattices can host propagating excitations with non-trivial topology as defined by their evolution along closed paths in momentum space. Excitations on such lattices can also be momentum-independent, and the associated flat bands are of interest due to strong interactions between heavy quasiparticles. Here, we report the discovery - using circularly polarized X-rays for the unambiguous isolation of magnetic signals - of a nearly flat spin-wave band and large (compared to elemental iron) orbital moment in the metallic ferromagnet FeSn with compact AB-stacked kagome bilayers.
