      <title>Giant Bulk-Rashba Splitting in Polar Topological Insulator BiSbTeSe₂</title>
      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2607.26311v2</link>

      <description>arXiv: Bulk-Rashba spin splitting is forbidden in tetradymite topological insulators like Bi₂Se₃ or Bi₂Te₃, since their quintuple-layer stacking preserves inversion symmetry. We show that BiSbTeSe₂ escapes this restriction: in the Se-Bi-Se-Sb-Te sequence, the structure loses its inversion center, reducing the point group…</description>

      <description>arXiv: Twisted van der Waals bilayers provide a versatile platform for moiré electronic states, yet a transferable symmetry-based principle for time-reversal-invariant Z₂ moiré bands has remained largely missing. Here we show that triangular-lattice bilayers with symmetry-related stacking minima provide a geometric route to…</description>

      <title>Two-dimensional Intrinsic Janus Structures: Design Principle and Anomalous Nonlinear Optics</title>
      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.11167v1</link>

      <description>arXiv: Two-dimensional Janus structures have garnered rapidly growing attention across multidisciplinary fields. However, despite extensive theoretical and experimental efforts, a principle for designing intrinsic Janus materials remains elusive. Here, we propose a first-principles alloy theory based on cluster expansion…</description>

      <description>arXiv: The BiTeX family of polar van der Waals (vdW) semiconductors offers a unique platform for exploring the interplay between polar crystalline structure and nonlinear optical phenomena. Here, we utilize second harmonic generation (SHG) polarimetry to demonstrate giant anisotropic optical nonlinearities in BiTeBr and BiTeI…</description>
