Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Xiaoxiao Ding, Vanessa Sanchez, Katia Bertoldi, Chris H. Rycroft, | Summary: Knitting interloops one-dimensional yarns into three-dimensional fabrics that exhibit behaviours beyond their constitutive materials. How extensibility and anisotropy emerge from the hierarchical organisation of yarns into knitted fabrics has long been unresolved. We sought to unravel […]

Observation of spin polarons in a frustrated moiré Hubbard system

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Wenjin Zhao, Bowen Shen, Patrick Knüppel, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: The electron’s kinetic energy plays a pivotal role in magnetism. While virtual electron hopping promotes antiferromagnetism in an insulator, the real process usually favors ferromagnetism. But in kinetically frustrated systems, such as hole doped triangular […]
