Higher-order topological superconductivity from repulsive interactions in kagome and honeycomb systems

Tommy Li, Max Geier, Julian Ingham +1

We discuss a pairing mechanism in interacting two-dimensional multipartite lattices that intrinsically leads to a second order topological superconducting state with a spatially mo…

Tunable superconducting diode effect in a topological nano-SQUID

Ella Nikodem, Jakob Schluck, Max Geier +6

A Josephson diode passes current with zero resistance in one direction but is resistive in the other direction. While such an effect has been observed in several platforms, a large…

Coherent Electron Optics with Ballistically Coupled Quantum Point Contacts

Jaan Freudenfeld, Max Geier, Vladimir Umansky +2

The realization of integrated quantum circuits requires precise on-chip control of charge carriers. Aiming at the coherent coupling of distant nanostructures at zero magnetic field…

Electrostatic potential shape of gate defined quantum point contacts

Max Geier, Jaan Freudenfeld, Jorge T. Silva +5

Quantum point contacts (QPC) are fundamental building blocks of nanoelectronic circuits. For their emission dynamics as well as for interaction effects such as the 0.7-anomaly the…

Second-order topological insulators and superconductors with an order-two crystalline symmetry

Max Geier, Luka Trifunovic, Max Hoskam +1

Second-order topological insulators and superconductors have a gapped excitation spectrum in bulk and along boundaries, but protected zero modes at corners of a two-dimensional cry…

Bulk-boundary-defect correspondence at disclinations in rotation-symmetric topological insulators and superconductors

Max Geier, Ion Cosma Fulga, Alexander Lau

We study a link between the ground-state topology and the topology of the lattice via the presence of anomalous states at disclinations -- topological lattice defects that violate…
