p-Wave Orbital Angular Momentum Texture in a Chiral Crystal
Dongjin Oh, Chiara Pacella, Xiangyu Luo +8
The spin and orbital angular momentum (SAM and OAM) are conceptually analogous, yet their roles in condensed matter systems have not been often treated on equal footing. While SAM…
Kagome metals
Domenico Di Sante, Titus Neupert, Giorgio Sangiovanni +5
Three important driving forces for creating qualitatively new phases in quantum materials are the topology of the materials' electronic band structures, frustration in the electron…
Switching topological states via uniaxial strain in 2D materials
Joshua J. Sanchez, Raagya Aurora, Daniel Bennett +3
In topological materials, dissipationless edge currents are protected against local defect scattering by the bulk inverted band structure and band gap. We propose that large uniaxi…
Phonon fluctuation diagnostics: Origin of charge order in AVSb kagome metals
Stefan Enzner, Jan Berges, Arne Schobert +7
The microsopic origin of the charge-density wave (CDW) in AVSb (A = K, Rb, Cs) kagome metals remains a longstanding question, often revolving around electron-phonon couplin…
Stacking-engineered ferroelectricity and multiferroic order in van der Waals magnets
Daniel Bennett, Gabriel MartÃnez-Carracedo, Xu He +4
Two-dimensional (2D) materials that exhibit spontaneous magnetization, polarization or strain (referred to as ferroics) have the potential to revolutionize nanotechnology by enhanc…
Pomeranchuk instability from electronic correlations in CsTiBi kagome metal
Chiara Bigi, Matteo Dürrnagel, Lennart Klebl +19
Among many-body instabilities in correlated quantum systems, electronic nematicity, defined by the spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry, has emerged as a critical phenomenon…
