Topological Properties of a Non‐Hermitian Quasi‐1D Chain with a Flat Band

C Martínez‐Strasser, MAJ Herrera… - Advanced Quantum …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The spectral properties of a non‐Hermitian quasi‐1D lattice in two of the possible
dimerization configurations are investigated. Specifically, it focuses on a non‐Hermitian …

[HTML][HTML] The quantum geometric origin of capacitance in insulators

I Komissarov, T Holder, R Queiroz - Nature Communications, 2024 - nature.com
In band insulators, without a Fermi surface, adiabatic transport can exist due to the geometry
of the ground state wavefunction. Here we show that for systems driven at a small but finite …

Quantum geometry of singlet superconductors

D Porlles, W Chen - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
We elaborate that s-wave and d-wave superconductors described by mean field theories
possess a nontrivial quantum geometry. From the overlap of two quasihole states at slightly …

Hofstadter spectrum of Chern bands in twisted transition metal dichalcogenides

K Kolář, K Yang, F von Oppen, C Mora - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the topological bands in twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides in an
external magnetic field. We first focus on a paradigmatic model of WSe 2, which can be …

Detecting the spread of valence-band Wannier functions by optical sum rules

LF Cárdenas-Castillo, S Zhang, FL Freire Jr, D Kochan… - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
The spread of valence-band Wannier functions in semiconductors and insulators is a
characteristic property that gives a rough estimation of how insulating is the material. We …

Berry curvature and quantum metric in copper-substituted lead phosphate apatite

W Chen - Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
The recent discovery of copper-substituted lead phosphate apatite, also known as LK-99,
has caught much attention owing to certain experimental evidence of room-temperature …

Geometric semimetals and their simulation in synthetic matter

YP Lin, G Palumbo - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
Topological semimetals, such as the Weyl and Dirac semimetals, represent one of the most
active research fields in modern condensed-matter physics. The peculiar physical properties …

Quantum Geometry and Entanglement in Two-dimensional Insulators: A View from the Corner Charge Fluctuation

PM Tam, J Herzog-Arbeitman, J Yu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2406.17023, 2024 - arxiv.org
Measuring bipartite fluctuations of a conserved charge, such as the particle number, within a
finite region is a powerful approach to characterizing quantum systems. When the measured …

Opacity of graphene independent of light frequency and polarization due to the topological charge of the Dirac points

MSM de Sousa, W Chen - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The opacity of graphene is known to be approximately given by the fine-structure constant α
times π. We point out the fact that the opacity is roughly independent of the frequency and …
