Counterintuitive temperature dependence of isospin flavor polarization has recently been found in twisted bilayer graphene, where unpolarized electrons in a Fermi liquid become a spin-valley polarized insulator upon heating. So far, the effect has been limited to v = +/-1 (one electron/hole per superlattice cell), leaving open questions such as whether it is a general property of symmetry-breaking electronic phases. Here, by studying a rhombohedral trilayer graphene/boron nitride moiré superlattice, we report that at v = -3 a resistive peak emerges at elevated temperatures or in parallel magnetic fields.

Numerous correlated many-body phases, both conventional and exotic, have been reported in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (MATBG). However, the dynamics associated with these correlated states, crucial for understanding the underlying physics, remain unexplored. Here we combine exciton sensing and optical pump-probe spectroscopy to investigate the dynamics of isospin orders in MATBG with WSe substrate across the entire flat band, achieving sub-picosecond resolution.

The known I^{π}=8_{1}^{+}, E_{x}=2129-keV isomer in the semimagic nucleus ^{130}Cd_{82} was populated in the projectile fission of a ^{238}U beam at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory at RIKEN. The high counting statistics of the accumulated data allowed us to determine the excitation energy, E_{x}=2001.2(7) keV, and half-life, T_{1/2}=57(3) ns, of the I^{π}=6_{1}^{+} state based on γγ coincidence information.

We present the first determination of the energy dependence of the B-D[over ¯] and B^{*}-D[over ¯] isospin-0, S-wave scattering amplitudes both below and above the thresholds using lattice QCD, which allows us to investigate rigorously whether mixed bottom-charm b[over ¯]c[over ¯]ud tetraquarks exist as bound states or resonances. The scattering phase shifts are obtained using Lüscher's method from the energy spectra in two different volumes. To ensure that no relevant energy level is missed, we use large, symmetric 7×7 and 8×8 correlation matrices that include, at both source and sink, B^{(*)}-D[over ¯] scattering operators with the lowest three or four possible back-to-back momenta in addition to local b[over ¯]c[over ¯]ud operators.

We experimentally and theoretically study the dynamics of a one-dimensional array of pendula with a mild spatial gradient in their self-frequency and where neighboring pendula are connected with weak and alternating coupling. We map their dynamics to the topological Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model of charged quantum particles on a lattice with alternating hopping rates in an external electric field. By directly tracking the dynamics of a wave-packet in the bulk of the lattice, we observe Bloch oscillations, Landau-Zener transitions, and coupling between the isospin (i.
