Ultrafast optical control of charge orders in kagome metals

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Yu-Ping Lin, Vidya Madhavan, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: We show that ultrafast optical pump pulses provide effective control over charge orders in the kagome metals $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ with $A=$ K, Rb, and Cs. Starting from the real charge density waves (rCDWs) at the $p$-type Van […]

Coherent Magneto-Conductance Oscillations in Amorphous Topological Insulator Nanowires

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Siddhant Mal, Elizabeth J. Dresselhaus, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Recent experiments on amorphous materials have established the existence of surface states similar to those of crystalline three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs). Amorphous topological insulators are also independently of interest for thermo-electric and other properties. To […]

Solving the Inverse Band-Structure Problem for Photonic Crystals

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Aditya Bahulikar, Feng Wang, Mustafa Cenk Gursoy, Rodrick Kuate Defo, | Summary: We present a symmetry-agnostic topology optimization framework for photonic-crystal structures based on computation of the photonic density of states in a manner analogous to $Gamma$-point integration. We provide a generalization of the approach that allows […]
