Superconductivity from the Condensation of Topological Defects in a Quantum Spin-Hall Insulator

Yuhai Liu, Zhenjiu Wang, Toshihiro Sato +4

The discovery that spin-orbit coupling can generate a new state of matter in the form of quantum spin-Hall (QSH) insulators has brought topology to the forefront of condensed matte…

Probing trihedral corner entanglement for Dirac fermions

Grigory Bednik, Lauren E. Hayward Sierens, Minyong Guo +2

We investigate the universal information contained in the Renyi entanglement entropies for a free massless Dirac fermion in three spatial dimensions. Using numerical calculations o…

Revealing the hidden order in BaTi2As2O via nuclear magnetic resonance

D. W. Song, J. Li, D. Zhao +8

In low-dimensional metallic systems, lattice distortion is usually coupled to a density-wave-like electronic instability due to Fermi surface nesting (FSN) and strong electron-phon…

Doping-driven Antiferromagnetic Insulator -- Superconductor Transition: a Quantum Monte Carlo Study

Tianxing Ma, Da Wang, Congjun Wu

How superconductivity emerges in the vicinity of an antiferromagnetic insulating state is a long-standing issue of strong correlation physics. We study the transition from an antif…

Engineering Surface Critical Behavior of (2+1)-Dimensional O(3) Quantum Critical Points

Chengxiang Ding, Long Zhang, Wenan Guo

Surface critical behavior (SCB) refers to the singularities of physical quantities on the surface at the bulk phase transition. It is closely related to and even richer than the bu…
