Liquid-Gas Criticality of Hyperuniform Fluids
Shang Gao, Hao Shang, Hao Hu +2
In statistical physics, it is well established that the liquid-gas (LG) phase transition with divergent critical fluctuations belongs to the Ising universality class. Whether non-e…
Atomically-precise synthesis and simultaneous integration of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides enabled by nano-confinement
Ce Bian, Yifan Zhao, Roger Guzman +15
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), and hBN, exhibit intriguing properties that are sensitive to their atomic-scale structure…
Orientational phase transitions induced by two-patch interactions
Lingyao Kong, Hua Tong, Hao Hu
For two-patch particles in two dimensions, we find that the coupling of anisotropic patchy interactions and the triangular lattice leads to novel phase behaviors. For asymmetric pa…
Correlated insulating states in slow Dirac fermions on a honeycomb moir{é} superlattice
Dongyang Yang, Jing Liang, Haodong Hu +8
Strong Coulomb repulsion is predicted to open a many-body charge gap at the Dirac point of graphene, transforming the semimetal into a Mott insulator. However, this correlated insu…
Quasiparticle interference in altermagnets
Hao-Ran Hu, Xiangang Wan, Wei Chen
A novel collinear magnetic phase, termed ``altermagnetism,'' has recently been uncovered, characterized by zero net magnetization and momentum-dependent collinear spin-splitting. T…
