Evolution of the surface states of the Luttinger semimetal under strain and inversion-symmetry breaking: Dirac, line-node, and Weyl semimetals
Maxim Kharitonov, Julian-Benedikt Mayer, Ewelina M. Hankiewicz
The Luttinger model of a quadratic-node semimetal for electrons with the angular momentum under cubic symmetry is the parent, highest-symmetry low-energy model for a va…
Formalism of general boundary conditions for continuum models
Maxim Kharitonov
Continuum models are particularly appealing for theoretical studies of bound states, due to simplicity of their bulk Hamiltonians. The main challenge on this path is a systematic d…
Formalism of general continuum models with boundary conditions, propagation of bound states from nontrivial to trivial topological classes, and the general surface-state structure near one node of a Weyl semimetal
Maxim Kharitonov
We present the {\em (symmetry-incorporating) formalism of general continuum models with boundary conditions} and apply it to the model with the minimal number of degrees of freedom…
Ever-present Majorana bound state in a generic one-dimensional superconductor with odd number of Fermi surfaces
Maxim Kharitonov, Ewelina M. Hankiewicz, Björn Trauzettel +1
A quasi-1D superconductor with odd number of Fermi surfaces is expected to exhibit a nondegenerate Majorana bound state at the Fermi level at its boundary with an insulator (where…
Paradoxical extension of the edge states across the topological phase transition due to emergent approximate chiral symmetry in a quantum anomalous Hall system
Denis R. Candido, Maxim Kharitonov, J. Carlos Egues +1
We present a paradoxical finding that, in the vicinity of a topological phase transition in a quantum anomalous Hall system (Chern insulator), topology nearly always (except when t…
Backscattering in a helical liquid induced by Rashba spin-orbit coupling and electron interactions: locality, symmetry, and cutoff aspects
Maxim Kharitonov, Florian Geissler, Björn Trauzettel
The combination of the time-reversal-symmetric single-particle backscattering field (commonly known as Rashba spin-orbit coupling) and non-backscattering electron interactions is g…
