URuSi is one of the most enigmatic strongly correlated electron systems and offers a fertile testing ground for new concepts in condensed matter science. In spite of >30 years of intense research, no consensus on the order parameter of its low-temperature hidden-order phase exists. A strong magnetic field transforms the hidden order into magnetically ordered phases, whose order parameter has also been defying experimental observation. Here, thanks to neutron diffraction under pulsed magnetic fields up to 40 T, we identify the field-induced phases of URuSi as a spin-density-wave state. The transition to the spin-density wave represents a unique touchstone for understanding the hidden-order phase. An intimate relationship between this magnetic structure, the magnetic fluctuations and the Fermi surface is emphasized, calling for dedicated band-structure calculations.

Charge-density waves (CDWs) are correlated states of matter, in which the electronic density is modulated periodically due to electronic and phononic interactions. Often, CDW phases coexist with other correlated states, such as superconductivity, spin-density waves, or Mott insulators. Controlling CDW phases may, therefore, enable the manipulation of the energy landscape of these interacting states.

Density wave (DW) order is believed to be correlated with superconductivity in the recently discovered high-temperature superconductor LaNiO. However, experimental investigations of its evolution under high pressure are still lacking. Here, we explore the quasiparticle dynamics in bilayer nickelate LaNiO single crystals using ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy under high pressures up to 34.

Article Synopsis
- Spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM) are two main characteristics of waves, where SAM relates to polarization and OAM relates to the spatial shape of the wavefronts.
- The study demonstrates that SAM and OAM can work together through the use of p-orbitals to create a synchronized system that evolves cyclically, which can be visualized as a Möbius strip.
- An experimental setup using an acoustic cavity array imitates the properties of p-orbitals to show a new effect called the spin-orbital-Hall effect, underscoring potential applications in technologies like trapping, coding, and communications.

We present a strategy for the modeling of charge carrier dynamics in organic semiconductors using conventional quantum chemistry methods, including the analytic gradient for nuclear motion. The theoretical approach uses real-time CASSCF (Ehrenfest) all-electron dynamics coupled to classical nuclear dynamics for the special case of a small number (4-8) of molecular units. The objective is to obtain mechanistic/atomistic insight at the electronic structure level, relating to spin density dynamics, to the effect of crystal structure (e.
