Lattice fermion simulation of spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in a helical Luttinger liquid
V. A. Zakharov, J. Sánchez Fernán, C. W. J. Beenakker
We extend a recently developed "tangent fermion" method to discretize the Hamiltonian of a helical Luttinger liquid on a one-dimensional lattice, including two-particle backscatter…
Something about the Mechanism of Induction Phenomena: The forgotten work of Berta de Haas-Lorentz on diamagnetism in superconductors
Giulia Venditti, Carlo Beenakker, Louk Rademaker
In 1925, Dr. Geertruida Luberta "Berta" de Haas-Lorentz published the paper "Iets over het mechanisme van inductieverschijnselen" in the journal Physica. Her paper was the first to…
Bimodal distribution of delay times and splitting of the zero-bias conductance peak in a double-barrier normal-superconductor junction
C. W. J. Beenakker, V. A. Zakharov
We formulate a scattering theory of the proximity effect in a weakly disordered SININ junction (S = superconductor, I = insulating barrier, N = normal metal). This allows to relate…
Majorana-metal transition in a disordered superconductor: percolation in a landscape of topological domain walls
V. A. Zakharov, I. C. Fulga, G. Lemut +2
Most superconductors are thermal insulators. A disordered chiral -wave superconductor, however, can make a transition to a thermal metal phase. Because heat is then tra…
Chiral edge mode for single-cone Dirac fermions
C. W. J. Beenakker
We study the appearance of a chiral edge mode on the two-dimensional (2D) surface of a 3D topological insulator (TI). The edge mode appears along the 1D boundary with a magnetic in…
Topologically protected Casimir effect for lattice fermions
C. W. J. Beenakker
The electromagnetic Casimir effect has a fermionic counterpart in topological insulators: Zero-point fluctuations of a massless Dirac fermion field mediate a force between magnetic…
