Exciton Alchemy: Chern Excitons from Trivial Bands

Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler

Exciton topology is commonly inherited from the topology of the underlying electronic bands. Recent theoretical work, however, has shown that the exciton Chern number can in genera…

Anomalous suppression of quantum chaos between two integrable limits

Roopayan Ghosh, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler

Level statistics in non-integrable quantum many-body systems with time reversal symmetry are expected to follow the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE), a hallmark of quantum chaos.…

Composite Quantum Geometry and Semiclassical Dynamics

Henry Davenport, Yoonseok Hwang, Johannes Knolle +1

We derive semiclassical equations of motion for general composite bound states in insulators and semiconductors, covering excitations such as excitons and trions. For neutral compo…

Stable Wave-Function Zeros Indicate Exciton Topology

Yoonseok Hwang, Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler

Excitons are bound states of electrons and holes whose band topology arises from an interplay between the topology of the underlying electronic bands and the structure of the elect…

Berry Curvature of Low-Energy Excitons in Rhombohedral Graphene

Henry Davenport, Frank Schindler, Johannes Knolle

We investigate low energy excitons in rhombohedral pentalayer graphene encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (hBN/R5G/hBN), focusing on the regime at the experimental twist angle…

Exciton Berryology

Henry Davenport, Johannes Knolle, Frank Schindler

In translationally invariant semiconductors that host exciton bound states, one can define an infinite number of possible exciton Berry connections. These correspond to the differe…
