Hopper-Like Growth of Higher-Order Topological Insulators
Yutaro Tanaka, Shuai Zhang, Tiantian Zhang +1
Understanding crystal growth and morphology is a fundamental issue in condensed matter physics. While crystal morphology due to the distribution and dynamics of the diffusion field…
Cavity-altered superconductivity
Itai Keren, Tatiana A. Webb, Shuai Zhang +30
Is it feasible to alter the ground state properties of a material by engineering its electromagnetic environment? Inspired by theoretical predictions, experimental realizations of…
Comprehensive Study of Phonon Chirality under Symmetry Constraints
Shuai Zhang, Zhiheng Huang, Muchen Du +3
Phonons are quanta of lattice vibrations, and their modes (linear, circular, or stationary) are symmetry-determined. Circularly polarized phonons, possessing nonzero angular moment…
Magnetic order induced chiral phonons in a ferromagnetic Weyl semimetal
Mengqian Che, Jinxuan Liang, Yunpeng Cui +13
Chiral phonons are vibrational modes in a crystal that possess a well-defined handedness or chirality, typically found in materials that lack inversion symmetry. Here we report the…
