We extend the thermodynamic approach for the description of the thermal Hall effect in two-dimensional superconductors above the critical temperature, where fluctuation Cooper pairs contribute to the conductivity, as well as in disordered normal metals where the particle-particle channel is important. We express the Hall heat conductivity in terms of the product of temperature derivatives of the chemical potential and of the magnetization of the system. Based on this general expression, we derive the analytical formalism that qualitatively reproduces the superlinear increase of the thermal Hall conductivity with the decrease of temperature observed in a large variety of experimentally studied systems [Grissonnanche et al., Nature (London) 571, 376 (2019)NATUAS0028-083610.1038/s41586-019-1375-0]. We also predict a nonmonotonic behavior of the thermal Hall conductivity in the regime of quantum fluctuations, in the vicinity of the second critical field and at very low temperatures.

Objective: To introduce an innovative non-contact method for denudation process of cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) for intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
Design: We designed and fabricated novel acousto-hydrodynamic tweezers (AHT) to perform contactless denudation and tested them in mouse model. Cumulus removal efficiency, preimplantation development and live birth were assessed and compared to conventional manual pipetting denudation.

Topological semimetals have recently garnered widespread interest in the quantum materials research community due to their symmetry-protected surface states with dissipationless transport which have potential applications in next-generation low-power electronic devices. One such material, [Formula: see text], exhibits Dirac nodal arcs and although the topological properties of single crystals have been investigated, there have been no reports in crystalline thin film geometry. We examined the growth of [Formula: see text] heterostructures on a range of single crystals by optimizing the electron beam evaporation of Pt and Sn and studied the effect of vacuum thermal annealing on phase and crystallinity.

The [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides is traditionally observed as a competitive minor pathway alongside the thermally allowed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. Concerted [1,2]-rearrangements are formally forbidden, with these processes believed to proceed through homolytic C-N bond fission of the ylide, followed by radical-radical recombination. The challenges associated with developing a catalytic enantioselective [1,2]-rearrangement of allylic ammonium ylides therefore lie in biasing the reaction pathway to favor the [1,2]-reaction product, alongside controlling a stereoselective radical-radical recombination event.

The crystallographic restriction theorem constrains two-dimensional nematicity to display either Ising (Z_{2}) or three-state-Potts (Z_{3}) critical behaviors, both of which are dominated by amplitude fluctuations. Here, we use group theory and microscopic modeling to show that this constraint is circumvented in a 30°-twisted hexagonal bilayer due to its emergent quasicrystalline symmetries. We find a critical phase dominated by phase fluctuations of a Z_{6} nematic order parameter and bounded by two Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transitions, which displays only quasi-long-range nematic order.

Antiferromagnetic materials have several unique properties, such as a vanishingly small net magnetization, which generates weak dipolar fields and makes them robust against perturbation from external magnetic fields and rapid magnetization dynamics, as dictated by the geometric mean of their exchange and anisotropy energies. However, experimental and theoretical techniques to detect and manipulate the antiferromagnetic order in a fully electrical manner must be developed to enable advanced spintronic devices with antiferromagnets as their active spin-dependent elements. Among the various antiferromagnetic materials, conducting antiferromagnets offer high electrical and thermal conductivities and strong electron-spin-phonon interactions.
