Experimental studies of the equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium electronic structure of non-symmorphic topological materials

Symmetry and topology are fundamental properties of nature. Mathematics provides us with a general framework to understand these concepts. On one side, symmetry describes the invariance properties of an object for specific transformations. On the other sid ...

Manipulating topological spin textures in multiferroic and polar materials

Jan Hugo Dil

The possibility to manipulate spin textures is of central importance for their utilisation in functional materials. Here it will be shown how the resulting changes in the spin texture of the electronic structure can directly be imaged by spin- and angle-re ...

Light-Induced Renormalization of the Dirac Quasiparticles in the Nodal-Line Semimetal ZrSiSe

Majed Chergui, Marco Grioni, Arnaud Magrez, Helmuth Berger, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi, Luca Moreschini, Simon Karl Moser, Gianmarco Gatti, Serhii Polishchuk

In nodal-line semimetals, linearly dispersing states form Dirac loops in the reciprocal space with a high degree of electron-hole symmetry and a reduced density of states near the Fermi level. The result is reduced electronic screening and enhanced correla ...

Two- and Three-Dimensional Superconducting Phases in the Weyl Semimetal TaP at Ambient Pressure

Maarten Ruud van Delft

The motivation to search for signatures of superconductivity in Weyl semi-metals and other topological phases lies in their potential for hosting exotic phenomena such as nonzero-momentum pairing or the Majorana fermion, a viable candidate for the ultimate ...

Time-reversal symmetry breaking type-II Weyl state in YbMnBi2

Spectroscopic detection of Dirac and Weyl fermions in real materials is vital for both, promising applications and fundamental bridge between high-energy and condensed-matter physics. While the presence of Dirac and noncentrosymmetric Weyl fermions is well ...

Spin fluctuation induced Weyl semimetal state in the paramagnetic phase of EuCd2As2

Joël Mesot

Weyl fermions as emergent quasiparticles can arise in Weyl semimetals (WSMs) in which the energy bands are nondegenerate, resulting from inversion or time-reversal symmetry breaking. Nevertheless, experimental evidence for magnetically induced WSMs is scar ...

Thermodynamic Signatures of Weyl Fermions in NbP

Philip Johannes Walter Moll

We present a high magnetic field study of NbP—a member of the monopnictide Weyl semimetal (WSM) family. While the monoarsenides (NbAs and TaAs) have topologically distinct left and right-handed Weyl fermi surfaces, NbP is argued to be “topologically trivia ...

Quantum limit transport and destruction of the Weyl nodes in TaAs

Yi Zhang, Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Maja Deborah Bachmann

Weyl fermions are a recently discovered ingredient for correlated states of electronic matter. A key difficulty has been that real materials also contain non-Weyl quasiparticles, and disentangling the experimental signatures has proven challenging. Here we ...

Template-Assisted Scalable Nanowire Networks

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Lucas Güniat, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Heidi Andrea Potts, Wonjong Kim, Mahdi Zamani, Vladimir Dubrovskii, Sara Marti Sanchez

Topological qubits based on Majorana Fermions have the potential to revolutionize the emerging field of quantum computing by making information processing significantly more robust to decoherence. Nanowires are a promising medium for hosting these kinds of ...

Level crossings induced by a longitudinal coupling in the transverse field Ising chain

Frédéric Mila, Grégoire Vionnet

We study the effect of antiferromagnetic longitudinal coupling on the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model with nearest-neighbor couplings. In the topological phase where, in the thermodynamic limit, the ground state is twofold degenerate, we show ...
