Thermodynamics of a Higher-Order Topological Insulator
R. Arouca, S. N. Kempkes, C. Morais Smith
We investigate the order of the topological quantum phase transition in a two dimensional quadrupolar topological insulator within a thermodynamic approach. Using numerical methods…
p-band engineering in artificial electronic lattices
M. R. Slot, S. N. Kempkes, E. J. Knol +7
Artificial electronic lattices, created atom by atom in a scanning tunneling microscope, have emerged as a highly tunable platform to realize and characterize the lowest-energy ban…
Robust zero-energy modes in an electronic higher-order topological insulator: the dimerized Kagome lattice
S. N. Kempkes, M. R. Slot, J. J. van den Broeke +6
Quantum simulators are an essential tool for understanding complex quantum materials. Platforms based on ultracold atoms in optical lattices and photonic devices led the field so f…
