Characterization of Spin-Orbit Effects in Superconductors InBi and InSb

Yao Wei, Siyu Chen, Bartomeu Monserrat

We report a first principles computational analysis of two phonon-mediated superconductors, InBi and InSb. We show that spin-orbit coupling leads to splitti…

Origin of competing charge density waves in kagome metal ScVSn

Kang Wang, Siyu Chen, Sun-Woo Kim +1

Understanding competing charge density wave (CDW) orders in the bilayer kagome metal ScVSn remains challenging. Experimentally, upon cooling, short-range order with wave ve…

Temperature effects in topological insulators of transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

Siyu Chen, Isaac J. Parker, Bartomeu Monserrat

We investigate the role of temperature on the topological insulating state of metal dichalcogenide monolayers, 1T-MX (M=W, Mo and X=S, Se). Using first principles calc…

High-chirality and multiquaternion Weyl nodes in hexagonal ReO

Siyu Chen, Robert-Jan Slager, Bartomeu Monserrat +1

The formation of two-band nodal points in gapless topological phases, referred to as conventional Weyl nodes, relies solely on translational symmetry. However, when coupled with ot…

Nonuniform grids for Brillouin zone integration and interpolation

Siyu Chen, Pascal T. Salzbrenner, Bartomeu Monserrat

We present two developments for the numerical integration of a function over the Brillouin zone. First, we introduce a nonuniform grid, which we refer to as the Farey grid, that ge…

Computational prediction of samarium hydride at megabar pressure

Zelong Zhao, Siyu Chen, Bartomeu Monserrat +2

Samarium hydrides, belonging to the broad class of lanthanide polyhydrides, have yet to be experimentally tested at high pressure. In this study, we use random structure searches t…

Manipulation and braiding of Weyl nodes using symmetry-constrained phase transitions

Siyu Chen, Adrien Bouhon, Robert-Jan Slager +1

Weyl semimetals are arguably the most paradigmatic form of a gapless topological phase. While the stability of Weyl nodes, as quantified by their topological charge, has been exten…
