Spin and charge transport in topological nodal-line semimetals
Yao Zhou, Feng Xiong, Weipeng Chen +1
We study transport properties of topological Weyl nodal-line semimetals(NLSs). Starting from a minimal lattice model with a single nodal loop, and by focusing on a normal-metal-NLS…
Rigidity of MHD equilibria to smooth incompressible ideal motion near resonant surfaces
David Pfefferlé, Lyle Noakes, Yao Zhou
In ideal MHD, the magnetic flux is advected by the plasma motion, freezing flux-surfaces into the flow. An MHD equilibrium is reached when the flow relaxes and force balance is ach…
Theory of the tertiary instability and the Dimits shift from reduced drift-wave models
Hongxuan Zhu, Yao Zhou, I. Y. Dodin
Tertiary modes in electrostatic drift-wave turbulence are localized near extrema of the zonal velocity with respect to the radial coordinate . We argue that these modes c…
Structure formation in turbulence as instability of effective quantum plasma
Vasileios Tsiolis, Yao Zhou, Ilya Y. Dodin
Structure formation in turbulence is effectively an instability of "plasma" formed by fluctuations serving as particles. These "particles" are quantumlike; namely, their wavelength…
Solitary zonal structures in subcritical drift waves: a minimum model
Yao Zhou, Hongxuan Zhu, I. Y. Dodin
Solitary zonal structures have recently been identified in gyrokinetic simulations of subcritical drift-wave (DW) turbulence with background shear flows. However, the nature of the…
Topological Ising pairing states in monolayer and trilayer TaS
Weipeng Chen, Jin An
We study the possibility of topological superconductivity in the noncentrosymmetric monolayer and trilayer TaS with out-of-plane mirror symmetry. A gapless time-reversal invari…
Nonlinear saturation and oscillations of collisionless zonal flows
Hongxuan Zhu, Yao Zhou, I. Y. Dodin
In homogeneous drift-wave (DW) turbulence, zonal flows (ZFs) can be generated via a modulational instability (MI) that either saturates monotonically or leads to oscillations of th…
Formation of solitary zonal structures via the modulational instability of drift waves
Yao Zhou, Hongxuan Zhu, I. Y. Dodin
The dynamics of the radial envelope of a weak coherent drift wave is approximately governed by a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which emerges as a limit of the modified Hasegawa-M…
Quasioptical modeling of wave beams with and without mode conversion: I. Basic theory
I. Y. Dodin, D. E. Ruiz, K. Yanagihara +2
This work opens a series of papers where we develop a general quasioptical theory for mode-converting electromagnetic beams in plasma and implement it in a numerical algorithm. Her…
