Superior Adhesion of Monolayer Amorphous Carbon to Copper

The single‐atom thickness of graphene holds great potential for device scaling, but its effectiveness as a thin metal‐ion diffusion barrier in microelectronics and a corrosion barrier for plasmonic devices is compromised by weak van der Waals interactions ...

Anomalous electrons in a metallic kagome ferromagnet

Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Aeppli, Hyungjun Lee, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez

Ordinary metals contain electron liquids within well-defined 'Fermi' surfaces at which the electrons behave as if they were non-interacting. In the absence of transitions to entirely new phases such as insulators or superconductors, interactions between el ...

Dynamic Jahn-Teller effect in the strong spin-orbit coupling regime

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Oleg Yazyev, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh, Ravi Yadav, Jana Pásztorová, Davor Tolj

Exotic quantum phases, arising from a complex interplay of charge, spin, lattice and orbital degrees of freedom, are of immense interest to a wide research community. A well-known example of such an entangled behavior is the Jahn-Teller effect, where the l ...

Electronic transport in graphene with out-of-plane disorder

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

Real-world samples of graphene often exhibit various types of out-of-plane disorder-ripples, wrinkles and folds-introduced at the stage of growth and transfer processes. These complex out-of-plane defects resulting from the interplay between self-adhesion ...

Observation of Kekulé vortices around hydrogen adatoms in graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

Fractional charges are one of the wonders of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Such objects are also anticipated in two-dimensional hexagonal lattices under time reversal symmetry-emerging as bound states of a rotating bond texture called a Kekule vortex ...

Strongly correlated Hofstadter subbands in minimally twisted bilayer graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Mitali Banerjee, Yifei Guan

Moiré superlattice in twisted bilayer graphene has been proven to be a versatile platform for exploring exotic quantum phases. Extensive investigations have been invoked focusing on the zero-magnetic-field phase diagram at the magic twist angle around $\th ...

Spectroscopic signatures and origin of hidden order in Ba2MgReO6

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Oleg Yazyev, Ivica Zivkovic, Jana Pásztorová, Davor Tolj

Clarifying the underlying mechanisms that govern ordering transitions in condensed matter systems is crucial for comprehending emergent properties and phenomena. While transitions are often classified as electronically driven or lattice-driven, we present ...

Electronic excitations and spin interactions in chromium trihalides from embedded many-body wavefunctions

Oleg Yazyev, Ravi Yadav

Although chromium trihalides are widely regarded as a promising class of two-dimensional magnets for next-generation devices, an accurate description of their electronic structure and magnetic interactions has proven challenging to achieve. Here, we quanti ...

Five-Membered Rings Create Off-Zero Modes in Nanographene

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics, Ziyi Wang

The low-energy electronic structure of nanographenes can be tuned through zero-energy pi-electron states, typically referred to as zero-modes. Customizable electronic and magnetic structures have been engineered by coupling zero-modes through exchange and ...
