Chiral central charge from a single bulk wave function

April 28, 2022
Author(s)
Isaac H. Kim, Bowen Shi, Kohtaro Kato, Victor Albert
A (2+1)-dimensional gapped quantum many-body system can have a topologically protected energy current at its edge. The magnitude of this current is determined entirely by the temperature and the chiral central charge c_-, a quantity associated with the

Author(s)
Vitor R. Coluci, Socrates de Oliveira Dantas Dantas, Vinod Tewary
A Green's function formalism has been applied to solve the equations of motion in classical molecular dynamics simulations. This formalism enables larger time scales to be probed for vibration processes in carbon nanomaterials. In Green's function

Sangjun Lee, Edwin Huang, Thomas Johnson, Xuefei Guo, Ali Husain, Matteo Mitrano, Kannan Lu, Alexander Zakrzewski, Gilberto de la Pena, Yingying Peng, Hai Huang, Sang-Jun Lee, Hoyoung Jang, Jun-Sik Lee, Young Joe, W.Bertrand (Randy) Doriese, Paul Szypryt, Daniel Swetz, Songxue Chi, Adam Aczel, Gregory MacDougall, Steven Kivelson, Eduardo Fradkin, Peter Abbamonte
Charge density waves (CDWs) have been observed in nearly all families of copper-oxide superconductors. But the behavior of these phases across different families has been perplexing. In La-based cuprates, the CDW wavevector is an increasing function of

Eliot Gann, Christopher McNeill, Doan Vu, Martyn Jervic, Chao Wang, Lars Thomsen, Mats Andersson
Terpolymerization is a facile and effective strategy to control the aggregation and crystallinity of semiconducting polymers which has been exploited to improve the photovoltaic performance of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). Applying this strategy to

Are 2D Interfaces Really Flat?

March 15, 2022
Author(s)
Zhihui Cheng, Huairuo Zhang, Son Le, Hattan Abuzaid, Guoqing Li, Yifei Yu, Albert Davydov, Linyou Cao, Aaron Franklin, Curt A. Richter
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are amenable to external mechanical deformation and thus forming bubbles and wrinkles. However, little is known about the dynamics of 2D interfaces, especially their flatness under different conditions. Here we use cross

Topological Phase Transition and Charge-Spin Coupling in the Kagome Metal YMn 6 Sn 6

March 15, 2022

Peter E. Siegfried, Hari Bhandari, David C. Jones, Madhav P. Ghimire, Rebecca Dally, Lekh Poudel, Markus Bleuel, Jeffrey Lynn, Igor I. Mazin, Nirmal J. Ghimire
The Fermi surface (FS) is essential for understanding the properties of metals. It can change under both conventional symmetry-breaking phase transitions and Lifshitz transitions (LTs), where the FS, but not the crystal symmetry, changes abruptly. Magnetic
