Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic
excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …

The first-principles band theory paradigm has been a key player not only in the process of
discovering new classes of topologically interesting materials, but also for identifying salient …

Quasi‐2D semiconductors have garnered immense research interest for next‐generation
electronics and thermoelectrics due to their unique structural, mechanical, and transport …

According to quantum mechanics, a harmonic oscillator can never be completely at rest.
Even in the ground state, its position will always have fluctuations, called the zero-point …

Graphene's success has shown that it is possible to create stable, single and few-atom-thick
layers of van der Waals materials, and also that these materials can exhibit fascinating and …

Topological insulators represent a new quantum state of matter which is characterized by
peculiar edge or surface states that show up due to a topological character of the bulk wave …

Near-field microscopy discloses a peculiar potential to explore novel quantum state of matter
at the nanoscale, providing an intriguing playground to investigate, locally, carrier dynamics …

We propose a particle-hole symmetric theory of the Fermi-liquid ground state of a half-filled
Landau level. This theory should be applicable for a Dirac fermion in the magnetic field at …

Topology, a mathematical concept, has recently become a popular and truly
transdisciplinary topic encompassing condensed matter physics, solid state chemistry, and …

Topological insulators are new states of quantum matter which cannot be adiabatically
connected to conventional insulators and semiconductors. They are characterized by a full …
