Entropy-Driven Structural Phase Transition in NbCl via Density Functional Theory and an Effective Model
Chenjie Zhu, Shuai Zhang, Zhong Fang +3
As a prototypical flat-band cluster Mott insulator on an effective triangular lattice, NbCl is a potential candidate for hosting a quantum spin liquid (QSL) state. Neverthe…
IRSSG: An Open-Source Software Package for Spin Space Groups
Sheng Zhang, Ziyin Song, Zhong Fang +2
We present an open-source software package IRSSG for investigating magnetic systems with spin space groups (SSGs). The package works within the density functional theory (DFT) fram…
Percolation from Quantum Metric in Flat-Band Delocalization
Bo Yin, Zhijun Wang, Quansheng Wu
The quantum metric is a fundamental ingredient of band quantum geometry and has recently at tracted intense interest, with most of its transport signatures appearing in the intrins…
Symmetry-Indicated Time-Reversal-Doubled Axion Insulators
Yue Xie, Haohao Sheng, Quansheng Wu +4
The axion insulator exhibits a topological magnetoelectric effect characterized by an axion angle , while the time-reversal-doubled axion insulator (T-DAXI) can be viewed as…
Majorana Zero Modes and Topological Nature in Bi2Ta3S6-family Superconductors
Yue Xie, Zhilong Yang, Ruihan Zhang +7
In this work, we report that Bi2Ta3S6-family superconductors exhibit nontrivial band topology. They possess a natural quantum-well structure consisting of alternating stacks of TaS…
Growth and hydrostatic-pressure study of a type-II superconductor BiTaS single crystal
Li Chenglin, Yang Yaling, Yang Zhilong +9
We report the growth and physical properties of single-crystalline BiTaS crystallizing in space group, which comprises alternating Ta-S layers and Bi layers…
