Chiral tricritical point: a new universality class in Dirac systems
Shuai Yin, Shao-Kai Jian, Hong Yao
Tricriticality, as a sister of criticality, is a fundamental and absorbing issue in condensed matter physics. It has been verified that the bosonic Wilson-Fisher universality class…
Quantum criticality and duality in the SYK/AdS chain
Shao-Kai Jian, Zhuo-Yu Xian, Hong Yao
We show that the quantum critical point (QCP) between a diffusive metal and ferromagnetic (or antiferromagnetic) phases in the SYK chain has a gravitational description correspondi…
Weyl magnons in pyrochlore antiferromagnets with all-in-all-out orders
Shao-Kai Jian, Wenxing Nie
We investigate novel topological magnon band crossings of pyrochlore antiferromagnets with all-in-all-out (AIAO) magnetic order. By general symmetry analysis and spin-wave theory,…
Pseudospin Hall effect of light in photonic crystals with Weyl points
Luyang Wang, Shao-Kai Jian
The study of spin-orbit coupling of photons has attracted much attention in recent years, and leads to many potential applications in optics. In the recently discovered metamateria…
Imbert-Fedorov shift in Weyl semimetals: Dependence on monopole charge and intervalley scattering
Luyang Wang, Shao-Kai Jian
The Imbert-Fedorov (IF) shift in optics describes the transverse shift of light beams at the reflection interface. Recently, the IF shift of Weyl fermions at the interface between…
Solvable Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models in higher dimensions: from diffusion to many-body localization
Shao-Kai Jian, Hong Yao
Many aspects of many-body localization (MBL) transitions remain elusive so far. Here, we propose a higher-dimensional generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and show t…
Hourglass semimetals with nonsymmorphic symmetries in three dimensions
Luyang Wang, Shao-Kai Jian, Hong Yao
It was recently shown that nonsymmorphic space group symmetries can protect novel surface states with hourglass-like dispersions. In this paper, we show that such dispersions can a…
