Topology and Quantum-Spin-Classical-Spin Crossover of the Gapped Kondo Effect

David Krüger, Michael Potthoff

The gapped Kondo effect describes the screening of an impurity spin locally coupled via an antiferromagnetic exchange interaction to a conduction-electron system exhibi…

Disorder-Induced Topological Phases in a Two-Dimensional Chern Insulator with Strong Magnetic Disorder

Devesh Vaish, Michael Potthoff

Strong directional disorder in local magnetic moments coupled to a Chern insulator gives rise to topological phases that cannot be continuously connected to the clean limit and are…

Exchangeless braiding of Majorana zero modes in weakly coupled Kitaev chains

Robin Quade, Michael Potthoff

Exchangeless braiding of Majorana modes is studied in minimal networks of weakly hybridized Kitaev chains of finite length using a rigorous many-body framework. In particular, for…

Microscopic theory of spin friction and dissipative spin dynamics

Nicolas Lenzing, David Krüger, Michael Potthoff

The real-time dynamics of local magnetic moments exchange coupled to a metallic system of conduction electrons is subject to dissipative friction even in the absence of spin-orbit…

Kondo Screening and Indirect Magnetic Exchange through a Conventional Superconductor Studied by the Density-Matrix Renormalization Group

Cassian Plorin, Michael Potthoff

The competition between the Kondo screening and indirect magnetic exchange in systems with two magnetic impurities coupled to a conventional s-wave superconductor gives rise to a n…

Prerelaxation in quantum, classical, and quantum-classical two-impurity models

Michael Elbracht, Michael Potthoff

We numerically study the relaxation dynamics of impurity-host systems, focusing on the presence of long-lived metastable states in the non-equilibrium dynamics after an initial exc…

Bound states and local topological phase diagram of classical impurity spins coupled to a Chern insulator

Simon Michel, Axel Fünfhaus, Robin Quade +2

The existence of bound states induced by local impurities coupled to an insulating host depends decisively on the global topological properties of the host's electronic structure.…
