Thermodynamic evidence for interaction-driven first-order topological quantum phase transitions
Surajit Dutta, Nadav Auerbach, Chiho Yoon +12
Topological quantum phase transitions in non interacting systems occur through continuous gap closing and reopening. In strongly interacting systems, however, competing ordered sta…
Nematic Wigner crystals in rhombohedral multilayer graphene
Yang Ge, Ashwini Malviya, Ethan Angerhofer +2
Recent experiments have reported evidence for Wigner crystals (WCs) in rhombohedral graphene. Here, we investigate Wigner crystallization in rhombohedral tetralayer graphene using…
Multi-Knob Switchable Chiral Superconductivity Quartet in Rhombohedral Graphene
Zhenqi Hua, Shenyong Ye, Phatthanon Pattanakanvijit +17
Chiral superconductors break orbital time-reversal symmetry and may host topological quasiparticles with non-Abelian statistics. In rhombohedral graphene, superconductivity develop…
Evidence of Metallic Wigner Crystal in Rhombohedral Graphene
Tonghang Han, Jackson P. Butler, Shenyong Ye +15
When the Coulomb interaction dominates over kinetic energy, electrons can crystallize into a Wigner crystal (WC). This paradigmatic correlated electronic phase has been realized in…
Magnetic Field-Enhanced Graphene Superconductivity with Record Pauli-Limit Violation
Jixiang Yang, Omid Sharifi Sedeh, Chiho Yoon +22
Spin-polarized superconductors offer a rare platform for studying electronic correlations, but few candidate systems have been experimentally confirmed to date. Here, we report the…
Family of Unconventional Superconductivities in Crystalline Graphene
Junseok Seo, Armel A. Cotten, Mingchi Xu +17
Unconventional superconductors exhibit multiple broken symmetries and exceed the range of the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. For instance, time-reversal symmetry can be br…
