Lecture Notes: The two-dimensional electron Wigner crystal -- What's old and what's new?

Brian Skinner

These are lecture notes created for a short lecture series at the 2026 CTEQ Summer School at Penn State. They are written in a conversational and informal style. The goal of these…

Chiral Wigner crystal phases induced by Berry curvature

Sandeep Joy, Leonid Levitov, Brian Skinner

We consider the impact of Berry phase on the Wigner crystal (WC) state of a two-dimensional electron system. We consider first a model of Bernal bilayer graphene with a perpendicul…

Ultrahigh Anomalous Nernst Thermopower and Thermal Hall Angle in YbMnBi2

Jiamin Wen, Kaustuv Manna, Dung Vu +5

Thermoelectrics (TEs) are solid-state devices that can realize heat-electricity conversion. Transverse TEs require materials with a large Nernst effect, which typically requires a…

Disorder-induced liquid-solid phase coexistence in 2D electron systems

Sandeep Joy, Brian Skinner

Recent imaging experiments show a surprisingly robust regime of liquid-solid phase coexistence in a 2D electron system near the quantum melting/freezing transition, with the two ph…

Wigner crystallization in Bernal bilayer graphene

Sandeep Joy, Brian Skinner

In Bernal bilayer graphene (BBG), a perpendicular displacement field flattens the bottom of the conduction band and thereby facilitates the formation of strongly correlated electro…

Cascade of multi-electron bubble phases in monolayer graphene at high Landau level filling

Fangyuan Yang, Ruiheng Bai, Alexander A. Zibrov +6

The phase diagram of an interacting two-dimensional electron system in a high magnetic field is enriched by the varying form of the effective Coulomb interaction, which depends str…

Upper bound on the window of density occupied by microemulsion phases in two-dimensional electron systems

Sandeep Joy, Brian Skinner

In two-dimensional electronic systems, direct first-order phase transitions are prohibited as a consequence of the long-range Coulomb interaction, which implies a stiff energetic p…
