Family of High-Chern-Number Orbital Magnets in Twisted Rhombohedral Graphene
Xirui Wang, L. Antonio Benítez, Vo Tien Phong +5
Realizing Chern insulators with Chern numbers greater than one remains a major goal in quantum materials research. Such platforms promise multichannel dissipationless chiral transp…
Band structure engineering using a moiré polar substrate
Xirui Wang, Cheng Xu, Samuel Aronson +11
Applying long wavelength periodic potentials on quantum materials has recently been demonstrated to be a promising pathway for engineering novel quantum phases of matter. Here, we…
Role of equilibrium fluctuations in light-induced order
Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Anshul Kogar +17
Engineering novel states of matter with light is at the forefront of materials research. An intensely studied direction is to realize broken-symmetry phases that are "hidden" under…
Interfacial ferroelectricity in rhombohedral-stacked bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Xirui Wang, Kenji Yasuda, Yang Zhang +6
Van der Waals (vdW) materials have greatly expanded our design space of heterostructures by allowing individual layers to be stacked at non-equilibrium configurations, for example…
Unconventional hysteretic transition in a charge density wave
B. Q. Lv, Alfred Zong, D. Wu +25
Hysteresis underlies a large number of phase transitions in solids, giving rise to exotic metastable states that are otherwise inaccessible. Here, we report an unconventional hyste…
Stacking-engineered ferroelectricity in bilayer boron nitride
Kenji Yasuda, Xirui Wang, Kenji Watanabe +2
2D ferroelectrics with robust polarization down to atomic thicknesses provide novel building blocks for functional heterostructures. Experimental reports, however, remain scarce be…
Light-Induced Charge Density Wave in LaTe
Anshul Kogar, Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev +18
When electrons in a solid are excited with light, they can alter the free energy landscape and access phases of matter that are beyond reach in thermal equilibrium. This accessibil…
Dynamical slowing down in an ultrafast photo-induced phase transition
Alfred Zong, Pavel E. Dolgirev, Anshul Kogar +20
Complex systems, which consist of a large number of interacting constituents, often exhibit universal behavior near a phase transition. A slowdown of certain dynamical observables…
