Topological acoustics is an emerging field that lies at the intersection of condensed matter
physics, mechanical structural design and acoustics engineering. It explores the design and …

A kagome lattice naturally features Dirac fermions, flat bands and van Hove singularities in
its electronic structure. The Dirac fermions encode topology, flat bands favour correlated …

Magnetic topological materials represent a class of compounds with properties that are
strongly influenced by the topology of their electronic wavefunctions coupled with the …

The quantum Hall (QH) effect, quantized Hall resistance combined with zero longitudinal
resistance, is the characteristic experimental fingerprint of Chern insulators—topologically …

Topological semimetals (TSMs) are characterized by bulk band crossings in their electronic
structures, which are expected to give rise to gapless electronic excitations and topological …

Polariton lasers emit coherent monochromatic light through a spontaneous emission
process. As a rare example of a system in which Bose–Einstein condensation and …

Heusler alloys, discovered serendipitously at the beginning of the twentieth century, have
emerged in the twenty-first century as exciting materials for numerous remarkable functional …

As spins move through a chiral electric field, the resulting spin current can acquire chirality
through a spin–orbit interaction. Such spin currents are highly useful in creating spin–orbit …

A review is given on the foundations and applications of non-Hermitian classical and
quantum physics. First, key theorems and central concepts in non-Hermitian linear algebra …

Diffusion driven by temperature or concentration gradients is a fundamental mechanism of
energy and mass transport that inherently differs from wave propagation in both physical …
