Quantum transport in fractal networks

XY Xu, XW Wang, DY Chen, CM Smith, XM Jin - Nature Photonics, 2021 - nature.com
Fractals are fascinating, not only for their aesthetic appeal but also for allowing the
investigation of physical properties in non-integer dimensions. In these unconventional …

Design and characterization of electrons in a fractal geometry

SN Kempkes, MR Slot, SE Freeney, SJM Zevenhuizen… - Nature physics, 2019 - nature.com
The dimensionality of an electronic quantum system is decisive for its properties. In one
dimension, electrons form a Luttinger liquid, and in two dimensions, they exhibit the …

[HTML][HTML] A brief survey of paradigmatic fractals from a topological perspective

J Patiño Ortiz, M Patiño Ortiz, MÁ Martínez-Cruz… - Fractal and …, 2023 - mdpi.com
The key issues in fractal geometry concern scale invariance (self-similarity or self-affinity)
and the notion of a fractal dimension D which exceeds the topological dimension d. In this …

TBPLaS: A tight-binding package for large-scale simulation

Y Li, Z Zhan, X Kuang, Y Li, S Yuan - Computer Physics Communications, 2023 - Elsevier
TBPLaS is an open-source software package for the accurate simulation of physical systems
with arbitrary geometry and dimensionality utilizing the tight-binding (TB) theory. It has an …

Topological states on fractal lattices

S Pai, A Prem - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We investigate the fate of topological states on fractal lattices. Focusing on a spinless chiral
p-wave paired superconductor, we find that this model supports two qualitatively distinct …

Sierpiński structure and electronic topology in Bi thin films on InSb (111) B surfaces

C Liu, Y Zhou, G Wang, Y Yin, C Li, H Huang, D Guan… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Deposition of Bi on InSb (111) B reveals a striking Sierpiński-triangle (ST)-like structure in Bi
thin films. Such a fractal geometric topology is further shown to turn off the intrinsic electronic …

From graphene to fullerene: experiments with microwave photonic crystals

B Dietz, A Richter - Physica Scripta, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Ultracold quantum gases serve as ideal models for the characterization of universal
properties of a variety of phenomena in quantum systems. In a formal analogy to …

Hall conductivity of a Sierpiński carpet

AA Iliasov, MI Katsnelson, S Yuan - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
We calculate the Hall conductivity of a Sierpiński carpet using Kubo-Bastin formula. The
quantization of Hall conductivity disappears when we increase the depth of the fractal, and …

Higher-order topological phases on fractal lattices

S Manna, S Nandy, B Roy - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
Electronic materials harbor a plethora of exotic quantum phases, ranging from
unconventional superconductors to non-Fermi liquids and, more recently, topological …

Existence of robust edge currents in Sierpiński fractals

M Fremling, M van Hooft, CM Smith, L Fritz - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We investigate the Hall conductivity in a Sierpiński carpet, a fractal of Hausdorff dimension
df= ln (8)/ln (3)≈ 1.893, subject to a perpendicular magnetic field. We compute the Hall …
