The three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) BiSe exhibits topologically protected, linearly dispersing Dirac surface states (SSs). To access the intriguing properties of these SSs, it is important to distinguish them from the coexisting two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) on the surface. Here, we use circularly polarized light to induce the inverse spin Hall effect in a BiSe thin film at different temperatures (i.e., from 77 to 300 K). It is demonstrated that the photoinduced inverse spin Hall effect (PISHE) of the top SSs and the 2DEG can be separated based on their opposite signs. The temperature and power dependence of the PISHE also confirms our method. Furthermore, it is found that the PISHE in the 2DEG is dominated by the extrinsic mechanism, as revealed by the temperature dependence of the PISHE.

We report the detailed investigation of the magnetic, transport, and magnetocaloric effects of GdS- bSe by magnetic susceptibility χ(T ), isothermal magnetization M (H), resistivity ρ(T, H), and heat capacity Cp(T ) measurements, crystallizing in the ZrSiS-type tetragonal crystal system with space group P 4/nmm. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed long-range antiferromagnetic ordering with two additional magnetic anomalies below N´eel temperature (TN ≈ 8.6 K), corroborated through magnetocaloric and specific heat studies.

The orbital Hall effect originating from light materials with weak spin-orbit coupling, has attracted considerable interest in spintronic applications. Recent studies demonstrate that orbital currents can be generated from charge currents through the orbital Hall effect in ferromagnetic materials. However, the generation of orbital currents in antiferromagnets has so far been elusive.

Article Synopsis
- * The T2-weighted fast spin echo (T2W-FSE) MRI technique is commonly used to visualize HIFU-induced thermal lesions but suffers from issues like ringing artifacts and reduced spatial resolution due to T2 decay effects.
- * By applying an inverse Fourier transform (IFT) multiplication scheme with specially designed filters, researchers improved MRI image quality, resulting in significantly better spatial resolutions and enhanced signal-to-noise ratio in detecting thermal lesions.

Leveraging the reciprocal-space proximity effect between superconducting bulk and topological surface states (TSSs) offers a promising way to topological superconductivity. However, elucidating the mutual influence of bulk and TSSs on topological superconductivity remains a challenge. Here, we report pioneering transport evidence of a thickness-dependent transition from conventional to unconventional superconductivity in 2M-phase WS (2M-WS).
