How Landau caterpillars turn into Hofstadter butterflies by tuning the periodic potential strength
Ivo A. Gabrovski, Louk Rademaker
It is well-known that the spectrum of two-dimensional electrons in a perpendicular magnetic field is given by discrete flat Landau levels. By contrast, electrons in a two-dimension…
Universal scaling near band-tuned metal-insulator phase transitions
Simone Fratini, Sergio Ciuchi, Vladimir Dobrosavljevic +1
We present a theory for band-tuned metal-insulator transitions based on the Kubo formalism. Such a transition exhibits scaling of the resistivity curves, in the regime where …
Determining spin-orbit coupling in graphene by quasiparticle interference imaging
Lihuan Sun, Louk Rademaker, Diego Mauro +7
Inducing and controlling spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in graphene is key to create topological states of matter, and for the realization of spintronic devices. Placing graphene onto a…
Spin-Orbit Coupling in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Heterobilayer Flat Bands
Louk Rademaker
The valence flat bands in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers are shown to exhibit strong intralayer spin-orbit coupling. This is reflected in a simple tight-bindi…
Hofstadter subband ferromagnetism and symmetry broken Chern insulators in twisted bilayer graphene
Yu Saito, Jingyuan Ge, Louk Rademaker +4
In bilayer graphene rotationally faulted to theta=1.1 degrees, interlayer tunneling and rotational misalignment conspire to create a pair of low energy flat band that have been fou…
Gate-tunable imbalanced Kane-Mele model in encapsulated bilayer jacutingaite
Louk Rademaker, Marco Gibertini
We study free, capped and encapsulated bilayer jacutingaite PtHgSe from first principles. While the free standing bilayer is a large gap trivial insulator, we find that the…
Impurity Bound States and Greens Function Zeroes as Local Signatures of Topology
Robert-Jan Slager, Louk Rademaker, Jan Zaanen +1
We show that the local in-gap Greens function of a band insulator , with the position perpendicular…
