Antiferromagnets may exhibit spin superfluidity since the dipole interaction is weak. We seek to establish that this phenomenon occurs in insulators such as NiO, which is a good spin conductor according to previous studies. We investigate nonlocal spin transport in a planar antiferromagnetic insulator with a weak uniaxial anisotropy. The anisotropy hinders spin superfluidity by creating a substantial threshold that the current must overcome. Nevertheless, we show that applying a high magnetic field removes this obstacle near the spin-flop transition of the antiferromagnet. Importantly, the spin superfluidity can then persist across many micrometers, even in dirty samples.

Vacancies in solid-state physics are underexplored in materials with strong electron-electron correlations. Recent research on the Ir-Sb binary system revealed an extended buckled-honeycomb vacancy (BHV) order. Superconductivity arises by suppressing BHV ordering through high-pressure growth with excess Ir atoms or Rh substitution, yet the superconducting pairing nature remains unknown.

Ferrimagnetic oxide thin films are important material platforms for spintronic devices. Films grown on low symmetry orientations such as (110) exhibit complex anisotropy landscapes that can provide insight into novel phenomena such as spin-torque auto-oscillation and spin superfluidity. Using spin-Hall magnetoresistance measurements, the in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) uniaxial anisotropy energies are determined for a thickness series (5-50 nm) of europium iron garnet (EuIG) and thulium iron garnet (TmIG) films epitaxially grown on a gadolinium gallium substrate with (110) orientation and capped with Pt.

The two-species Fermi gas with attractive short-range interactions in two spatial dimensions provides a paradigmatic system for the understanding of strongly correlated Fermi superfluids in two dimensions. It is known to exhibit a BEC to BCS crossover as a function of ln(k_{F}a), where a is the scattering length, and to undergo a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless superfluid transition below a critical temperature T_{c}. However, the extent of a pseudogap regime in the strongly correlated regime of ln(k_{F}a)∼1, in which pairing correlations persist above T_{c}, remains largely unexplored with controlled theoretical methods.

Article Synopsis
- Hybrid systems show promise for exploring unconventional superconductivity and topological states, but their small size makes them difficult to measure with standard techniques.
- The authors present a new microwave-based probe to measure superfluid density in micrometer-sized superconductors, revealing a two-fold anisotropic superfluid density in a superconductor-ferromagnet bilayer.
- The findings suggest a link between spin dynamics and superconductivity, and the technique can potentially be applied to investigate other low-dimensional materials with fragile superconducting properties.

The two-dimensional kagome lattice is an experimental playground for novel physical phenomena, from frustrated magnetism and topological matter to chiral charge order and unconventional superconductivity. A newly identified kagome superconductor, TaVSi has recently gained attention for possessing a record high critical temperature, = 7.5 K for kagome metals at ambient pressure.
