This paper demonstrates that gapped two-dimensional materials exhibiting the quantum anomalous Hall effect display universal optical transmission, reflection, and absorption coefficients at low temperatures that depend solely on the ratio of photonic to gap energy, featuring total reflection at energy equality and recovering graphene's fine-structure constant-dependent behavior in the vanishing gap limit.
This study demonstrates the wafer-scale MOCVD growth of 2D GaSe nanosheets, revealing that defect-induced localized emission enables both broad classical light and single-photon quantum emission, thereby establishing a scalable platform for integrated photonic technologies.
This study utilizes large-scale atomistic relaxations to demonstrate that double-moiré commensuration in twisted trilayer hBN and graphene/hBN heterostructures induces local energy minima and torque sign reversals, establishing a system-dependent mechanism for twist-angle stabilization driven by enhanced stacking domain overlap and Coulomb interactions.
This paper formulates non-Hermitian Landau levels in two-dimensional systems under a complex magnetic field, deriving their complex spectra and biorthogonal eigenstates while confirming the theory with a lattice model that reveals semiclassical dynamics governed by a complex Lorentz force.
This paper demonstrates that atom-photon bound states in self-similar fractal photonic lattices exhibit a far-field localization length scaling inversely with the detuning raised to the power of the walk dimension, a relationship driven by anomalous diffusion and confirmed through exact diagonalization on various fractal geometries.
Using plasmonic microwave spectroscopy on amorphous indium oxide films, this study reveals that a pinned vortex glass exhibits an anomalously slow, logarithmic decay of superfluid density driven by collective pinning enhanced by interactions, ultimately vanishing linearly at a continuous quantum critical point that governs the field-driven superconductor-insulator transition.
This paper theoretically demonstrates and analytically calculates how quasiparticle Andreev reflection occurs in fractional quantum Hall systems with two quantum point contacts, showing that the ratio of auto- to cross-current correlations serves as a direct signature of this phenomenon and aligns with recent experimental observations.
This paper demonstrates that optical conductivity serves as a critical probe for characterizing band flatness and anisotropic quantum geometry in magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene, revealing how lattice relaxation and specific optical signatures dictate the emergence of flat band superconductivity and fractional Chern insulating phases.
This paper proposes and demonstrates a novel mechanism for achieving spin-selective transport and negative differential resistance in clean antiferromagnetic chains by breaking spin symmetry through a bias drop along the functional element, offering a new pathway for designing efficient spintronic devices with zero net magnetization.
This paper investigates the topological and dynamical properties of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model driven by sequences of two unitaries under periodic, quasiperiodic, aperiodic, and random protocols, revealing discrepancies between end mode counts and winding numbers in periodic drives, and characterizing the distinct Loschmidt echo behaviors—ranging from long-lived oscillations to rapid decay—across different driving sequences.
