Critical properties of the Majorana chain with competing interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: We study critical properties of a Majorana chain in the presence of two competing interactions of the shortest possible range. The obtained phase diagram is very rich and contains nine different phases, including three floating, two Ising, and four gapped […]

Stabilizing the inverted phase of a WSe$_2$/BLG/WSe$_2$ heterostructure via hydrostatic pressure

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Máté Kedves, Bálint Szentpéteri, Albin Márffy, Endre Tóvári, Nikos Papadopoulos | Summary: Bilayer graphene (BLG) was recently shown to host a band-inverted phase with unconventional topology emerging from the Ising-type spin–orbit interaction (SOI) induced by the proximity of transition metal dichalcogenides with large intrinsic SOI. Here, we […]

flippy: User friendly and open source framework for lipid membrane simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Timon Idema | First 5 Authors: George Dadunashvili, Timon Idema, , , | Summary: Animal cells are both encapsulated and subdivided by lipid bilayer membranes. Beyond just acting as boundaries, these membranes’ shapes influence the function of cells and their compartments. Physically, membranes are two-dimensional fluids with complex elastic behavior, which makes it […]

Aharonov-Bohm magnetism in open Fermi surfaces

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Ady Stern, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Orbital diamagnetism requires closed orbits according to the Liftshiftz-Kosevich theory. Therefore, one might expect that open Fermi surfaces do not have a diamagnetic response. Contrary to this expectation, we show that open orbits in finite systems do contribute […]
