Angular Momentum in Rotating Superfluid Droplets

Christoph Bostedt, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

The angular momentum of rotating superfluid droplets originates from quantized vortices and capillary waves, the interplay between which remains to be uncovered. Here, the rotation of isolated submicrometer superfluid He-4 droplets is studied by ultrafast ...

Quantum phase transitions and the role of impurity-substrate hybridization in Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states

Klaus Kern, Jacob Senkpiel, Haonan Huang

Spin-dependent scattering from magnetic impurities inside a superconductor gives rise to Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. They can be modeled by the largely equivalent Kondo or Anderson impurity models. The role of the magnetic ...

Weyl fermions, Fermi arcs, and minority-spin carriers in ferromagnetic CoS2

Thorsten Schmitt, Vladimir N. Strocov, Timur Kim, Samuel Thomas Stolz

Magnetic Weyl semimetals are a newly discovered class of topological materials that may serve as a platform for exotic phenomena, such as axion insulators or the quantum anomalous Hall effect. Here, we use angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and ab i ...

In situ control of the helical and skyrmion phases in Cu2OSeO3 using high-pressure helium gas up to 5 kbar

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Arnaud Magrez, Ivica Zivkovic, Jonathan White

We report a small-angle neutron scattering study of the helical and skyrmion lattice order in single-crystal Cu2OSeO3 under quasihydrostatic helium gas pressures up to 5 kbar. By using helium gas as the pressure-transmitting medium (PTM) we ensure pressure ...

Tilted double Dirac cone and anisotropic quantum-spin-Hall topological insulator in mechanical granular graphene

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Georgios Theocharis

Dirac degeneracies are essential ingredients to control topological charge exchanges between bands and trigger the unique edge transport properties of topological materials. In addition, when Dirac cones are tilted, exotic phenomena can emerge such as anom ...

Mott Physics Beyond the Heisenberg Model

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow

The integrated network Mott Physics Beyond the Heisenberg Model (MPBH) united researchers across Switzerland in a collective effort to explore new aspects of Mott physics, in particular how spin-orbit interactions, in concert with strong electron correlati ...

The odd free surface flows of a colloidal chiral fluid

Sofia Magkiriadou

In simple fluids, such as water, invariance under parity and time-reversal symmetry imposes that the rotation of constituent 'atoms' is determined by the flow and that viscous stresses damp motion. Activation of the rotational degrees of freedom of a fluid ...

Floquet dynamics in the quantum measurement of mechanical motion

Tobias Kippenberg, Nicolas Piro Mastracchio, Liu Qiu, Itay Shomroni, Marie Adrienne Ioannou

The radiation-pressure interaction between one or more laser fields and a mechanical oscillator gives rise to a wide range of phenomena: From sideband cooling and backaction-evading measurements to ponderomotive and mechanical squeezing to entanglement and ...
