Below are the most recent papers in this dynamic area of condensed matter physics, ready for you to explore.
This paper demonstrates that the superconducting phase difference across a strongly coupled quantum dot Josephson junction can control the ground state fermion parity via phase-induced transitions near , offering a promising platform for exploring exotic phenomena like Majorana zero modes.
This paper demonstrates that superconducting Weyl semimetals host robust gapless vortex modes protected by a second Chern number in a synthetic four-dimensional space, arising from an imbalanced pumping of flux bound states between Chern insulators at opposite momenta.
This paper demonstrates that field-driven motion of Weyl nodes in pyrochlore iridates under a [111] magnetic field fundamentally governs the non-monotonic evolution of anomalous Hall conductivity, providing a microscopic framework for understanding transport in strongly correlated topological materials.
This paper establishes lower bounds on the magnetic tunneling splitting and hopping coefficient for two identical, non-symmetric potential wells at asymptotically large separation in a constant magnetic field, showing that these quantities decay no faster than for almost all separations.
Using first-principles calculations, this study demonstrates that twisting and modifying BiTe slabs can induce unconventional radial spin textures, tunable flat bands, and topological domains on the Moiré scale, revealing new ways to manipulate Dirac states in topological insulators.
Using Boltzmann transport theory, this paper demonstrates that in thin-film Weyl and Dirac semimetals, the Berry curvature and orbital magnetic moment induce Fermi surface deformations that cause Sondheimer oscillations in magnetoresistance to split into two chirped branches with distinct frequencies.
This paper proposes a refined topological characterization of disordered quantum systems by introducing the "turning number"—an invariant describing the geometry of the tangent vector of momentum-space Hamiltonian maps—which reveals new topological phase transitions in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model that occur even when the system remains spectrally gapped.
This perspective argues that porous silicon can function as an adaptive, water-driven platform for blue materials by leveraging its tunable pore hierarchy, surface chemistry, and semiconducting skeleton to control water transport, induce structural changes, and generate electrical signals across multiple length scales.
This paper presents a computationally efficient boundary element method (BEM) for modeling the electrostatic near-field of conducting AFM tips in THz-SNOM, which accurately reproduces field decay behavior with significantly reduced computational cost compared to traditional simulations, thereby enabling systematic optimization of tip geometry for enhanced spatial resolution.
This paper derives a thermodynamic state distance from a positive Hermitian transport tensor within a mesoscopic canonical model, demonstrating that the metric is determined by the symmetric transport component and that transport coupling dictates the metric's anisotropy without requiring an independent metric or physical spin variable.
