Tighter thermalization bounds for perturbed quantum many-body scars
Meng-Yun Mao, Zhixiang Sun, Wen-Long You
Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) are exceptional eigenstates that defy thermalization, enabling long-lived coherent dynamics in strongly interacting systems. However, their stability…
Percolative Mott insulator-metal transition in doped SrIrO
Zhixiang Sun, Jose M. Guevara, Steffen Sykora +7
Despite many efforts to rationalize the strongly correlated electronic ground states in doped Mott insulators, the nature of the doping induced insulator to metal transition is sti…
Spectroscopic evidence of nematic fluctuations in LiFeAs
Zhixiang Sun, Pranab Kumar Nag, Steffen Sykora +8
The role of nematic fluctuations in the pairing mechanism of iron-based superconductors is frequently debated. Here we present a novel method to reveal such fluctuations by identif…
Observation of a well-defined hybridization gap and in-gap states on the SmB6 (001) surface
Zhixiang Sun, Ana Maldonado, Wendel S. Paz +6
The rise of topology in condensed matter physics has generated strong interest in identifying novel quantum materials in which topological protection is driven by electronic correl…
Spin-polaron ladder spectrum of the spin-orbit-induced Mott insulator SrIrO probed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy
Jose M. Guevara, Zhixiang Sun, Ekaterina M. Pärschke +8
The motion of doped electrons or holes in an antiferromagnetic lattice with strong on-site Coulomb interactions touches one of the most fundamental open problems in contemporary co…
Superconducting gap and vortex lattice of the heavy fermion compound CeCu_2Si_2
Mostafa Enayat, Zhixiang Sun, Ana Maldonado +6
The order parameter and pairing mechanism for superconductivity in heavy fermion compounds are still poorly understood. Scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy at ultra-low…
Dirac Surface States and Nature of Superconductivity in Noncentrosymmetric BiPd
Zhixiang Sun, Mostafa Enayat, Ana Maldonado +6
In non-magnetic bulk materials, inversion symmetry protects the spin degeneracy. If the bulk crystal structure lacks a centre of inversion, however, spin-orbit interactions lift th…
Quantum confined electronic states in atomically well-defined graphene nanostructures
Sampsa Hämäläinen, Zhixiang Sun, Mark P. Boneschanscher +5
Despite the enormous interest in the properties of graphene and the potential of graphene nanostructures in electronic applications, the study of quantum confined states in atomica…
Topographic and electronic contrast of the graphene moiré on Ir(111) probed by scanning tunneling microscopy and non-contact atomic force microscopy
Zhixiang Sun, Sampsa K. Hämäläinen, Jani Sainio +3
Epitaxial graphene grown on transition metal surfaces typically exhibits a moiré pattern due to the lattice mismatch between graphene and the underlying metal surface. We use both…
