Spin-Orbital Textures and Interferometers by Nanoscale Geometric Design of Quantum Rings with Orbital Rashba Coupling
G. Francica, P. Gentile, M. Cuoco
We derive an effective continuum model for describing the propagation of electrons in ballistic one-dimensional curved nanostructure which are marked by a strong interplay of spin-…
Magnetic field effects on electron transport in nanoring with orbital Rashba coupling
Gianluca Francica, Paola Gentile, Mario Cuoco
We study the effects of a Zeeman magnetic field on the electron transport of one-dimensional quantum rings which are marked by electronic states with orbital symmetry in the pr…
Engineering Topological Nodal Line Semimetals in Rashba Spin-Orbit Coupled Atomic Chains
Paola Gentile, Vittorio Benvenuto, Carmine Ortix +2
We study an atomic chain in the presence of modulated charge potential and modulated Rashba spin-orbit coupling (RSOC) of equal period. We show that for commensurate periodicities…
Topological superconducting phases and Josephson effect in curved time-reversal-invariant superconductors
Gianluca Francica, Mario Cuoco, Paola Gentile
We consider a Rashba spin-orbit coupled nanowire with anisotropic spin-singlet superconducting pairing and time-reversal-invariant symmetry. We explore the evolution of the topolog…
Geometric driving of two-level quantum systems
Zu-Jian Ying, Paola Gentile, José Pablo Baltanàs +3
We investigate a class of cyclic evolutions for %the cyclic evolution of driven two-level quantum systems (effective spin-1/2) with a particular focus on the geometric characterist…
Phase Diagram and Quench Dynamics in a Spinful Interacting Kitaev Chain
Gianluca Francica, Paola Gentile, Mario Cuoco
We consider an exact solvable interacting spinful Kitaev chain which is a generalization of the Mattis-Nam model. A nearest-neighbor dimerized interaction favoring the production o…
