Symmetry-protected cubic-touching topological surface bands with tunable singularities
Jingtian Shi, Taylor L. Hughes, Ivar Martin
We propose a class of topological surface bands in three-dimensional topological crystalline insulators that have symmetry-protected cubic-order band touching. Within the symmetry…

Domain wall motion in a polycrystalline vortex lattice
Malcolm Durkin, Emily Waite, Taylor L. Hughes +1
Disorder fundamentally reshapes how crystalline systems respond to external forces, yet it remains unclear whether disorder drives interacting lattices toward glassy states or inst…

Spin-momentum Locking and Topological Vector Charge Response with Conserved Spin
Yoonseok Hwang, Penghao Zhu, Taylor L. Hughes
Spin-momentum locking plays a fundamental role in spintronics and, more broadly, is an important concept in condensed matter physics. In 2D and 3D, spin-momentum locking typically…
