Floquet Superlattices and Edge States in Graphene Nanoribbons
Siam Sarower, Jonathon Dvorscak, Nancy P. Sandler +1
Structured light provides a route to imprint spatially patterned Floquet potentials onto quantum materials. As a particular example, we study a zigzag graphene nanoribbon driven by…
Propagating edge and interfacial states in corrugated graphene: Robustness and configurability
Adel Belayadi, Dawei Zhai, Nancy Sandler
Periodically strained graphene provides a versatile platform to realize moiré-like electronic structures. We show that the interplay between strain-induced pseudomagnetic field and…
Vortex-Beam-Driven Dirac Materials: Impurity and Polarization Effects on Light-Induced Vortex and Edge States
Trevor W. Walsh, Eric E. Caldwell, Nancy P. Sandler +1
We study impurity scattering and polarization detuning in finite-size vortex-light-beam-driven massive Dirac systems. In finite geometries, circularly polarized vortex light opens…
Valley-dependent transport through graphene quantum dots due to proximity-induced, staggered spin-orbit couplings
A. Belayadi, P. Vasilopoulos, N. Sandler
We study a system composed of graphene decorated with an array of islands with C_3v symmetry that induce quantum dot (IQD) regions via proximity effects and give rise to several sp…
Photo-induced Multiply Quantized Vortex States in Dirac-like Materials
Lauren I. Massaro, Connor Meese, Nancy P. Sandler +1
Subjecting a massive two-dimensional Dirac material to a vortex light beam provides a mechanism for the photo-induction of multiply quantized vortices. Using Floquet theory, we sho…
Phonon-assisted tunneling regimes in diatomic molecules
E. Vernek, E. V. Anda, S. E. Ulloa +1
Electronic transport in diatomic molecules (two-level systems) connected to metallic contacts is analyzed in the presence of competing electron-electron and electron-phonon interac…
