Helical liquids in semiconductors

CH Hsu, P Stano, J Klinovaja… - … Science and Technology, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
One-dimensional helical liquids can appear at boundaries of certain condensed matter
systems. Two prime examples are the edge of a quantum spin Hall insulator and the hinge …

Signatures of Majorana zero modes in spin-resolved current correlations

A Haim, E Berg, F von Oppen, Y Oreg - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
We consider a normal lead coupled to a Majorana bound state. We show that the spin-
resolved current correlations exhibit unique features which distinguish Majorana bound …

Helical spin thermoelectrics controlled by a side-coupled magnetic quantum dot in the quantum spin Hall state

P Roura-Bas, L Arrachea, E Fradkin - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We study the thermoelectric response of a device containing a pair of helical edge states
contacted at the same temperature T and chemical potential μ and connected to an external …

Universal spatial correlations in the anisotropic Kondo screening cloud: Analytical insights and numerically exact results from a coherent state expansion

S Florens, I Snyman - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
We analyze the spatial correlation structure of the spin density of an electron gas in the
vicinity of an antiferromagnetically coupled Kondo impurity. Our analysis extends to the …

Numerical study of the Kondo cloud using finite-U slave bosons

LC Ribeiro, GB Martins, G Gómez-Silva, EV Anda - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
In this work, using the finite-U slave boson mean-field approximation to solve the single-
impurity Anderson model, the authors apply two different strategies to study the Kondo …

Noise and current correlations in tunnel junctions of quantum spin Hall edge states

F Dolcini - Physical Review B, 2015 - APS
The edge channels of two-dimensional topological systems are protected from elastic
reflection and are noiseless at low temperature. Yet, noise and cross correlations can be …

Natural orbitals renormalization group approach to a spin- impurity interacting with two helical liquids

R Zheng, RQ He, ZY Lu - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Using the natural orbitals renormalization group, we studied the problem of a localized spin-
1 2 impurity coupled to two helical liquids via the Kondo interaction in a quantum spin Hall …

Two-channel Kondo problem in coupled interacting helical liquids

S Biswas, A De Martino, S Rao, A Kundu - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the two-channel Kondo problem in the context of two interacting helical liquids
coupled to a spin-1 2 magnetic impurity. We show that the interactions between the two …

Transport in quantum spin Hall edges in contact to a quantum dot

B Rizzo, A Camjayi, L Arrachea - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study the transport mechanisms taking place in a quantum spin Hall bar with an
embedded quantum dot, where electrons localize and experience Coulomb interaction U as …

Transport through a quantum spin Hall antidot as a spectroscopic probe of spin textures

A Rod, G Dolcetto, S Rachel, TL Schmidt - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We investigate electron transport through an antidot embedded in a narrow strip of a two-
dimensional topological insulator. We focus on the most generic and experimentally relevant …
