Recent articles have suggested that the quasi-two dimensional antiferromagnet MnPS$_3$ may have non-reciprocal magnons, whereby magnons in a Brillouin zone corner at +q have different energies than those at $-$q. The magnons along the Brillouin zone boundaries were measured using neutron three-axis spectrometry, paying careful attention to the resolution function, to determine whether such non-reciprocity was present. The data show that, within the resolution, there are no significant differences between the magnons in opposite Brillouin zone corners.

Using two cold-neutron triple-axis spectrometers we have succeeded in fully mapping out the field-dependent evolution of the non-reciprocal magnon dispersion relations in all magnetic phases of MnSi. The non-reciprocal nature of the dispersion manife
sts itself in a full asymmetry (non-reciprocity) of the dynamical structure factor $S(q, E, mu_0 H_{int})$ with respect to flipping either the direction of the applied magnetic field $mu_0 H_{int}$, the reduced momentum transfer $q$, or the energy transfer $E$.
Spin waves in chiral magnetic materials are strongly influenced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction resulting in intriguing phenomena like non-reciprocal magnon propagation and magnetochiral dichroism. Here, we study the non-reciprocal magnon sp
ectrum of the archetypical chiral magnet MnSi and its evolution as a function of magnetic field covering the field-polarized and conical helix phase. Using inelastic neutron scattering, the magnon energies and their spectral weights are determined quantitatively after deconvolution with the instrumental resolution. In the field-polarized phase the imaginary part of the dynamical susceptibility $chi(varepsilon, {bf q})$ is shown to be asymmetric with respect to wavevectors ${bf q}$ longitudinal to the applied magnetic field ${bf H}$, which is a hallmark of chiral magnetism. In the helimagnetic phase, $chi(varepsilon, {bf q})$ becomes increasingly symmetric with decreasing ${bf H}$ due to the formation of helimagnon bands and the activation of additional spinflip and non-spinflip scattering channels. The neutron spectra are in excellent quantitative agreement with the low-energy theory of cubic chiral magnets with a single fitting parameter being the damping rate of spin waves.
Non reciprocal spin waves have a chiral asymmetry so that their energy is different for two opposite wave vectors. They are found in atomically thin ferromagnetic overlayers with in plane magnetization and are linked to the anti-symmetric Dzyaloshins
kii-Moriya surface exchange. We use an itinerant fermion theory based on first principles calculations to predict that non-reciprocal magnons can occur in Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$, the first stand alone metallic two dimensional crystal with off-plane magnetization. We find that both the energy and lifetime of magnons are non-reciprocal and we predict that acoustic magnons can have lifetimes up to hundreds of picoseconds, orders of magnitude larger than in other conducting magnets.
Water mediates electrostatic interactions via the orientation of its dipoles around ions, molecules, and interfaces. This induced water polarization consequently influences multiple phenomena. In particular, water polarization modulated by nanoconfin
ement affects ion adsorption and transport, biomolecular self-assembly, and surface chemical reactions. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to understand how water-mediated interactions change at the nanoscale. Here we show that near the graphene surface anion-cation interactions do not obey the translational and isotropic symmetries of Coulombs law. We identify a new property, referred to as non-reciprocity, which describes the non-equivalent and directional interaction between two oppositely charged ions near the confining surface when their positions with respect to the interface are exchanged. Specifically, upon exchange of the two ions positions along the surface normal direction the interaction energy changes by about 5$k_BT$. In both cases, confinement enhances the attraction between two oppositely charged ions near the graphene surface, while intercalation of one ion into the graphene layers shifts the interaction to repulsive. While the water permittivity in confinement is different from that in bulk, the effects observed here via molecular dynamics simulations and X-ray reflectivity experiments cannot be accounted for by current permittivity models. Our work shows that the water structure is not enough to infer electrostatic interactions near interfaces.
The magnetic state of atomically thin semiconducting layered antiferromagnets such as CrI$_3$ and CrCl$_3$ can be probed by forming tunnel barriers and measuring their resistance as a function of magnetic field ($H$) and temperature ($T$). This is po
ssible because the tunneling magnetoresistance originates from a spin-filtering effect sensitive to the relative orientation of the magnetization in different layers, i.e., to the magnetic state of the multilayers. For systems in which antiferromagnetism occurs within an individual layer, however, no spin-filtering occurs: it is unclear whether this strategy can work. To address this issue, we investigate tunnel transport through atomically thin crystals of MnPS$_3$, a van der Waals semiconductor that in the bulk exhibits easy-axis antiferromagnetic order within the layers. For thick multilayers below $Tsimeq 78$ K, a $T$-dependent magnetoresistance sets-in at $sim 5$ T, and is found to track the boundary between the antiferromagnetic and the spin-flop phases known from bulk magnetization measurements. The magnetoresistance persists down to individual MnPS$_3$ monolayers with nearly unchanged characteristic temperature and magnetic field scales, albeit with a different dependence on $H$. We discuss the implications of these finding for the magnetic state of atomically thin MnPS$_3$ crystals, conclude that antiferromagnetic correlations persist down to the level of individual monolayers, and that tunneling magnetoresistance does allow magnetism in 2D insulating materials to be detected even in the absence of spin-filtering.
