Phase transitions of wave packet dynamics in disordered non-Hermitian systems

Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Helene Spring, Viktor Könye, Fabian A. Gerritsma, Ion Cosma Fulga, Anton R. Akhmerov | Summary: Disorder can localize the eigenstates of one-dimensional non-Hermitian systems, leading to an Anderson transition with a critical exponent of 1. We show that, due to the lack of energy conservation, the […]

Nonlinear waves in flexible mechanical metamaterials

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Bolei Deng, Jordan R. Raney, Katia Bertoldi, Vincent Tournat, | Summary: Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has been studied extensively, the study of their dynamic properties is still at an […]

Orbital design of Berry curvature: pinch points and giant dipoles induced by crystal fields

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea D. Caviglia | First 5 Authors: Maria Teresa Mercaldo, Canio Noce, Andrea D. Caviglia, Mario Cuoco, Carmine Ortix | Summary: The Berry curvature (BC) – a quantity encoding the geometric properties of the electronic wavefunctions in a solid – is at the heart of different Hall-like transport phenomena, including the anomalous Hall […]

Unravelling the deterministic effect of the solid-state diffusion energy barrier for charge carrier on the self-discharge of supercapacitors

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xiaohui Yan, Yue He, Xuncheng Liu, Siqi Jing, Jiajian Guan | Summary: The further development of fast electrochemical devices is hindered by self-discharge. Current strategies for suppressing self-discharge are mainly focused on the extrinsic and general mechanisms including faradaic reactions, charge redistribution, and ohmic leakage. However, the […]
