Annular Majorana mode in a superconducting topological insulator
Shengshan Qin, Chi Wu, Lun-hui Hu +2
When the surface states of a topological insulator becomes superconducting, topological superconductivity can be obtained, and each vortex on the surface can host one single Majora…
Magnetism and Topology from Circularly Polarized Phonon Floquet Engineering
Dapeng Yao, Tiantian Zhang, Takashi Oka +1
We theoretically show that circularly polarized phonons induce electronic magnetization and drive a topological phase transition via phonon Floquet engineering. Considering the ele…
Direct probing the quantum geometric tensor for bosonic collective excitations
Chi Wu, Takashi Oka, Shuichi Murakami +1
The quantum geometric tensor (QGT), whose real and imaginary parts define the quantum metric and Berry curvature, encodes the intrinsic geometry of quantum states. While electronic…
Topological phononics
Zeguo Chen, Tiantian Zhang, Xulong Wang +12
Topological phononics extends the foundational concepts of topological condensed matter physics to the realm of lattice vibrations and classical mechanical waves, unlocking robust,…
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…
Advances in Phonons: From Band Topology to Phonon Chirality
Tiantian Zhang, Yizhou Liu, Hu Miao +1
Phonons, the quantized collective vibrations of a crystal lattice, are among the most fundamental bosonic excitations in condensed matter systems. They govern thermal transport, me…
