This paper demonstrates that in chiral active matter, nonequilibrium noise can induce topological bands with nonzero Chern numbers in the displacement fluctuation spectrum, creating boundary-localized modes distinct from deterministic mechanical edge states despite trivial underlying mechanics.
This paper identifies that naturally occurring quantum emitters in gallium nitride are confined near the substrate interface, limiting their optical coupling, and demonstrates that inserting a thin low-temperature GaN interlayer enables the precise, sub-60 nm depth control of bright, room-temperature quantum emitters, thereby overcoming integration barriers for efficient cavity-enhanced quantum emission.
This paper derives exact analytical expressions for the spectrum, eigenstates, and full quantum geometric tensor of the quarter-flux Harper-Hofstadter model by exploiting its sublattice symmetry, thereby demonstrating that its lowest band constitutes a nearly ideal Chern band suitable for fractional Chern insulator physics.
This paper predicts a new viscochiral transport regime in valley-polarized bilayer graphene where spatial gradients of Hall viscosity selectively amplify or suppress hydrodynamic vortices, enabling chiral flow control independent of device geometry.
This paper theoretically demonstrates that rhombohedral graphene hosts two distinct classes of multicomponent magnetic domain walls, whose specific texture is governed by the competition between intervalley Hund's coupling and spin-orbit coupling, and reveals that the dynamics of these walls can couple to superconducting transport to generate a voltage.
This paper investigates the linear and nonlinear magneto-optical transport in tilted type-I multi-Weyl semimetals using a semiclassical Boltzmann framework, deriving analytical expressions that reveal how orbital magnetic moment corrections generally suppress Berry curvature-induced conductivity while offering distinct experimental signatures of the materials' anisotropic dispersion and higher monopole charges.
This theoretical study proposes and analyzes novel van der Waals heterostructures combining Xenes with TMDCs, phosphorene, or TMTCs separated by hBN layers, demonstrating that their Rydberg indirect excitonic properties can be effectively tuned via external electric and magnetic fields, dielectric screening, and Floquet engineering to facilitate advanced optoelectronic and quantum device design.
This study demonstrates that growing WSe2 on graphene induces persistent compressive strain and layer-dependent charge transfer that pin exciton energies, contrasting with the thickness-dependent shifts observed on SiO2/Si, thereby establishing graphene as an active interface for controlling excitonic properties in scalable van der Waals heterostructures.
This study demonstrates that two-dimensional tellurene, leveraging its inherent chiral atomic structure, generates a gate-tunable, helicity-dependent circular ratchet current at room temperature under terahertz radiation, a phenomenon successfully explained by a microscopic theory based on the Boltzmann kinetic equation.
This study employs comprehensive exact-diagonalization calculations on twisted bilayer MoTe to demonstrate that including interaction-driven band mixing in a two-band-per-valley model is essential for accurately reproducing the experimentally observed hierarchy of fractional Chern insulators and charge density wave states, while also ruling out the proposed non-abelian Pfaffian state at specific fillings.
