This paper provides a rigorous one-dimensional formulation proving that a specific Abel-regularized transport response in clean, translation-invariant systems converges to the Euler characteristic of the Fermi sea in the large-time limit, while also establishing the corresponding lattice analog and analyzing finite-time convergence rates.
This paper investigates the quench dynamics of graphene under circularly polarized light, demonstrating that period-averaged bond currents and conductance serve as topological signatures that identify induced Floquet phases and edge modes in both isolated systems and those coupled to a fermionic bath.
This study demonstrates that charge density wave transitions in NbSe and 2H-TaSe significantly modulate the polarity and magnitude of acoustoelectric currents induced by surface acoustic waves, a phenomenon explained by a strain-modified conductivity model and offering a powerful tool for advancing straintronics in van der Waals materials.
This paper demonstrates that a polymer filling which attracts colloids and extends beyond mesopores can paradoxically enhance both the rate and selectivity of colloid permeation, offering a physical explanation for nuclear pore complex function and a design strategy for advanced separation and delivery devices.
This paper introduces the Rabi-Hatano-Nelson model to demonstrate the existence of a self-partitioned interfacial time crystal (SPITC), a novel phase where a homogeneous non-Hermitian system spontaneously generates an internal interface that breaks time-translation symmetry through nonreciprocity and open boundary conditions, without requiring external pumping or long-range interactions.
This paper demonstrates that while the leading-order energy response to curvature in the nonrelativistic Haldane model is nonuniversal and bond-dependent, the third-order response exhibits a universal discontinuity across the topological transition that matches the relativistic gravitational Chern–Simons prediction, thereby preserving a topological fingerprint beyond the relativistic limit.
This paper introduces a fabrication-free flip-chip sensing technique to rapidly evaluate microwave losses in germanium-based dielectrics and superconductors, revealing that strain-engineered Ge/SiGe heterostructures are promising for quantum circuits while unmodified PtSiGe films suffer from high losses that can be significantly mitigated by coating with niobium.
ScatterWorks is an open-source Python package that facilitates the flexible construction and efficient solution of scattering network models for studying non-interacting transport and wave-propagation phenomena in disordered and topological systems, featuring composable operations, sparse matrix support, and visualization utilities.
This paper presents a cryogenic optical and scanning probe platform that achieves super-resolution localization and deterministic control of individual interlayer excitons in WSe/MoSe heterobilayers via local Stark shifts, enabling precise manipulation of charge states and radiative emission for studying correlated quantum phases and anyon dynamics.
This study demonstrates the in-situ coherent modulation of moiré excitons and correlated Mott insulators in transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers using on-chip terahertz waves generated by femtosecond laser excitation of few-layer graphene gates, establishing these gates as effective opto-elastic transducers for the vibrational control of functional layers in van der Waals devices.
