Dynamical piezoelectric and magnetopiezoelectric effects in polar metals from Berry phases and orbital moments
Daniel Varjas, Adolfo G. Grushin, Roni Ilan +1
The polarization of a material and its response to applied electric and magnetic fields are key solid-state properties with a long history in insulators, although a satisfactory th…
Light-induced pseudo-magnetic fields in three-dimensional topological semimetals
Arpit Raj, Swati Chaudhary, Martin Rodriguez-Vega +3
In this work, we show that suitably designed spatially varying linearly polarized light provides a versatile route to generate and control pseudo-magnetic fields in Weyl semimetals…
Electrical and thermal transport in the quasi-atomic limit of coupled Luttinger liquids
Aaron Szasz, Roni Ilan, Joel E. Moore
We introduce a new model for quasi one-dimensional materials, motivated by intriguing but not yet well-understood experiments that have shown two-dimensional polymer films to be pr…
Pumping conductance, the intrinsic anomalous Hall effect, and statistics of topological invariants
Jan Dahlhaus, Roni Ilan, Daniel Freed +2
The pumping conductance of a disordered two-dimensional Chern insulator scales with increasing size and fixed disorder strength to sharp plateau transitions at well-defined energie…
Pseudo field effects in type II Weyl semimetals: new probes for over tilted cones
Daniel Sabsovich, Tobias Meng, Dmitry I. Pikulin +2
We study the effects of pseudo-magnetic fields on Weyl semimetals with over-tilted Weyl cones, or type II cones. We compare the phenomenology of the resulting pseudo-Landau levels…
Non-Newtonian Topological Mechanical Metamaterials Using Feedback Control
Lea Sirota, Roni Ilan, Yair Shokef +1
We introduce a method to design topological mechanical metamaterials that are not constrained by Newtonian dynamics. The unit cells in a mechanical lattice are subjected to active…
