An anomalous magneto-optical spectrum is discovered for dipolar valley excitons in twisted double-layer transition metal dichalcogenides, where the in-plane magnetic field induces a sizable multiplet splitting of exciton states inside the light cone. Chiral dispersions of the split branches make possible an efficient optical injection of the unidirectional exciton current. We also find an analog effect with a modest heterostrain replacing the magnetic field for introducing large splitting and chiral dispersions in the light cone. Angular orientation of the photoinjected exciton flow can be controlled by strain, with left-right unidirectionality selected by circular polarization.

Two-dimensional (2D) magnets, as an important member of the 2D material family, have emerged as a promising platform for spintronic devices. Herein, we report the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of highly crystalline submillimeter-scale self-intercalated metallic 2D ferromagnetic (FM) trigonal chromium telluride (CrTe) flakes on inert mica substrates. Through magneto-optical and magnetotransport measurements, we unveil the exceptional magnetic properties of these 2D flakes.

Article Synopsis
- - Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), like WSe, are being studied for their potential to create single-photon emitters (SPEs), essential for quantum technologies.
- - Current research employs magneto-optical techniques to examine how different magnetic fields and strain affect the excitonic states and optical properties of SPEs in WSe monolayers.
- - Findings include a surprising redshift in PL energy without changes in intensity, attributed to intervalley defect excitons, which enhances understanding of SPEs for future applications.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the indirect exchange interaction between local magnetic moments and surface electrons in magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), which is essential for the quantum anomalous Hall effect and has implications for topotronic device temperatures.
- - Researchers utilized time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements on the intrinsic MTI MnBiTe to investigate surface electromagnetism, confirming the role of 2D interactions in surface magnetism dynamics.
- - Their findings reveal a notable exchange gap and residual magnetization in even-layer MnBiTe, highlighting the potential for effective light-induced demagnetization, which could advance control over magnetism in future topotronic applications.

Femtosecond laser-induced ultrafast magnetization dynamics are all-optically probed for different remanent magnetic domain states of a [Co/Pt] multilayer sample, thus revealing the tunability of the direct transport of spin angular momentum across domain walls. A variety of different magnetic domain configurations (domain wall origami) at remanence achieved by applying different magnetic field histories are investigated by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry to probe the ultrafast magnetization dynamics. Depending on the underlying domain landscape, the spin-transport-driven magnetization dynamics show a transition from typical ultrafast demagnetization to being fully dominated by an anomalous transient magnetization enhancement (TME) via a state in which both TME and demagnetization coexist in the system.
