Flat band excitons in a three-dimensional supertwisted spiral transition metal dichalcogenide
Yinan Dong, Yuzhou Zhao, Lennart Klebl +19
A new frontier in van der Waals twistronics is the development of three-dimensional (3D) supertwisted materials, where each successive atomic layer rotates by the same angle. While…

Protected Fermionic Zero Modes in Periodic Gauge Fields
Vo Tien Phong, Eugene J. Mele
It is well-known that macroscopically-normalizable zero-energy wavefunctions of spin- particles in a two-dimensional inhomogeneous magnetic field are spin-polarized an…

Nodal lines in a honeycomb plasmonic crystal with synthetic spin
Sang Hyun Park, E. J. Mele, Tony Low
We analyze a plasmonic model on a honeycomb lattice of metallic nanodisks that hosts nodal lines protected by local symmetries. Using both continuum and tight-binding models, we sh…
