Topological quantum transition driven by charge-phonon coupling in the Haldane Chern insulator

open access: yes, 2019
In condensed matter physics many features can be understood in terms of their topological properties. Here we report evidence of a topological quantum transition driven by the charge-phonon coupling in the spinless Haldane model on a honeycomb lattice, a

Photoresponsive Gas‐Permeable Membranes: Fundamentals, Innovations, and Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Photoresponsive gas‐permeable membranes can be potentially used for smart packing, carbon capture, hydrogen purification, and optical gas valves due to their remote and non‐contact activation, precise spatial and temporal control, and reversible switching capabilities.

On the $Z_2$ classification of Quantum Spin Hall Models

open access: yes, 2006
We propose an alternative formulation of the $Z_2$ topological index for quantum spin Hall systems and band insulators when time reversal invariance is not broken.

Locking Metastable Topological Domains in Nematic Liquid Crystal Pi Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Selective photopolymerization in the presence of a controlled voltage defines permanent director walls that lock‐in metastable bend and twist configurations within nematic liquid crystal Pi cells. Q‐tensor simulations corroborate the experiments, demonstrating the topological state stabilization.

Critical charge instability on verge of the Mott transition and the origin of quantum protection in high-$T_c$ cuprates

open access: yes, 2006
The concept of topological excitations and the related ground state degeneracy are employed to establish an effective theory of the superconducting state evolving from the Mott insulator for high-Tc cuprates.

Dual Optical Hyperbolicity of PdCoO2 and PdCrO2 Delafossite Single Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In this work, the hyperbolic response of PdCoO₂ and PdCrO₂ delafossites is investigated for the first time. They exhibit dual hyperbolic regimes, one localized around a phonon absorption in the mid‐infrared spectral region, and the other extending into the visible range.

A classical analog to topological non-local quantum interference effect

open access: yes, 2003
The two main features of the Aharonov-Bohm effect are the topological dependence of accumulated phase on the winding number around the magnetic fluxon, and non-locality -- local observations at any intermediate point along the trajectories are not ...

Direct Evidence of Topological Dirac Fermions in a Low Carrier Density Correlated 5d Oxide

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The 5d oxide BiRe2O6 is discovered as a low‐carrier‐density topological semimetal hosting symmetry‐protected Dirac fermions stabilized by nonsymmorphic symmetries. Angle‐resolved photoemission spectroscopy, quantum oscillations, and magnetotransport measurements reveal gapless Dirac cones, quasi‐2D Fermi surfaces, high carrier mobility, and a field ...

Vortex-Line Condensation in Three Dimensions: A Physical Mechanism for Bosonic Topological Insulators

open access: yesPhysical Review X, 2015
Bosonic topological insulators (BTIs) in three dimensions are symmetry-protected topological phases protected by time-reversal and boson number conservation symmetries.
