Sub-cycle field-driven dynamical Berry phase in solids
Lior Faeyrman, Jianing Zhang, Misha Ivanov +3
In quantum mechanics, a wavepacket acquires a geometric phase, known as the Berry phase, as it evolves along a closed trajectory in parameter space. In condensed matter systems, th…

Roughness-controlled Tribocharging Governs Friction in Dry Glass Contacts
Liang Peng, Begum Demirkurt, Thibault Roch +3
Friction is commonly reduced by polishing surfaces, based on the idea that roughness enhances mechanical interlocking and thus friction. Here we show that, for dry glass-glass cont…
