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…
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…
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…
