Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Non-Hermitian Dirac Fermions: Caloric and Magnetic Responses
Francisco J. Peña, Bastian Castorene, Juan Pablo Esparza +2
We establish scaling relations governing the equilibrium thermodynamics of real-spectrum non-Hermitian Dirac fermions in a magnetic field. Assuming thermalization with respect to t…
Minimal Hamiltonian deformations as bulk probes of effective non-Hermiticity in Dirac materials
Sergio Pino-Alarcón, Juan Pablo Esparza, Vladimir JuriÄiÄ
Non-Hermitian (NH) Dirac semimetals describe open gain--loss systems. Yet at charge neutrality, models featuring real spectrum often look Hermitian-like, with NH effects absorbed i…
Exceptional flat bands in bipartite non-Hermitian lattices
Juan Pablo Esparza, Vladimir JuriÄiÄ
Flat bands, in which kinetic energy is quenched and quantum states become macroscopically degenerate, host a rich variety of correlated and topological phases, from unconventional…
Thermodynamic signatures of non-Hermiticity in Dirac materials via quantum capacitance
Juan Pablo Esparza, Francisco J. Peña, Patricio Vargas +1
Non-Hermitian band descriptions capture how loss, gain, and environmental coupling reshape quantum matter, yet most experimental tests rely on wave-based or dynamical probes. Here…
Exceptional magic angles in non-Hermitian twisted bilayer graphene
Juan Pablo Esparza, Vladimir Juricic
Twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) features strongly correlated and topological phases due to its flat bands emerging near the magic angle. However, the effects of the non-Hermiticity,…
Topological versus conventional superconductivity in a Weyl semimetal: A microscopic approach
Enrique Muñoz, Juan Pablo Esparza, José Braun +1
Starting from a microscopic model for the particle-particle interactions in a Weyl semimetal, we analyzed the possibility for conventional as well as monopole Cooper pairing betwee…
