Atomic scale control and visualization of topological quantum phase transition in π-conjugated polymers driven by their length
Héctor González-Herrero, Jesús Mendieta-Moreno, Shayan Edalatmanesh +5
Quantum phase transitions, which are driven by quantum fluctuations, mark a frontier between distinct quantum phases of matter. However, our understanding and control of such pheno…

Tailoring topological order and π-conjugation to engineer quasi-metallic polymers
B. Cirera, A. Sánchez-Grande, B. de la Torre +11
Topological band theory provides a conceptual framework to predict or even engineer robust metallic states at the boundaries of topologically distinct phases. The bulk-boundary cor…
