Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | Summary:Axial vectors, such as current or magnetization, are commonly used order parameters in time-reversal symmetry breaking systems. These vectors also break isotropy in three dimensional systems, lowering the spatial symmetry. We demonstrate that it is possible to construct a three-dimensional medium with average isotropy and inversion symmetry where time-reversal symmetry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Davide Degli Esposti, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Önder Gül, Nodar Samkharadze, Corentin Déprez | Summary: The electrical characterisation of classical and quantum devices is a critical step in the development cycle of heterogeneous material stacks for semiconductor spin qubits. In the case of silicon, properties such as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mazhar Ali | Summary: In the last few decades, basic ideas of topology have completely transformed the prediction of quantum transport phenomena. Following this trend, we go deeper into the incorporation of modern mathematics into quantum material science focusing on geometry. Here we investigate the relation between the geometrical type of the Fermi […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Helene Spring, Viktor Könye, Anton R. Akhmerov, Ion Cosma Fulga, | Summary: The non-Hermitian skin effect is a phenomenon in which an extensive number of states accumulates at the boundaries of a system. It has been associated to nontrivial topology, with nonzero bulk invariants predicting its […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jos Zwanikken | Summary:Weak multivalent interactions govern a large variety of biological processes like cell-cell adhesion and virus-host interactions. These systems distinguish sharply between surfaces based on receptor density, known as superselectivity. Earlier experimental and theoretical work provided insights into the control of selectivity: Weak interactions and a high number of ligands facilitate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov| First 5 Authors: V. A. Dorofeev, V. A. Dorofeev, , , | Summary:The charge-exchange reaction $π^-p rightarrow n,ω(783)φ(1020)$, $ωrightarrow π^+π^-π^0$, $φrightarrow K^+K^-$ is studied with the upgraded VES facility (U-70, Protvino) in the interaction of a 29 GeV pion beam with a beryllium target. The distribution over the invariant mass […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje Koenderink | Summary:Fibrous networks such as collagen are common in biological systems. Recent theoretical and experimental efforts have shed light on the mechanics of single component networks. Most real biopolymer networks, however, are composites made of elements with different rigidity. For instance, the extracellular matrix in mammalian tissues consists of stiff collagen […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yu V. Nazarov| First 5 Authors: LHCb collaboration, LHCb collaboration, , , | Summary:The LHCb upgrade represents a major change of the experiment. The detectors have been almost completely renewed to allow running at an instantaneous luminosity five times larger than that of the previous running periods. Readout of all detectors into an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Prasanna Rout, Nikos Papadopoulos, Fernando Peñaranda, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Bilayer graphene encapsulated in tungsten diselenide can host a weak topological phase with pairs of helical edge states. The electrical tunability of this phase makes it an ideal platform to investigate unique topological effects at […]
