Hierarchy of quasisymmetries and degeneracies in the CoSi family of chiral crystal materials

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun

In materials, certain approximated symmetry operations can exist in a lower-order approximation of the effective model but are good enough to influence the physical responses of the system, and these approximated symmetries were recently dubbed "quasisymme ...

Quasi-symmetry-protected topology in a semi-metal

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun, Xiangwei Huang, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez

The concept of quasi-symmetry-a perturbatively small deviation from exact symmetry-is introduced and leads to topological materials with strong resilience to perturbations. ...

Three-dimensional Fermi surfaces from charge order in layered CsV3Sb5

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun, Xiangwei Huang

The cascade of electronic phases in CsV3Sb5 raises the prospect to disentangle their mutual interactions in a clean, strongly interacting kagome lattice. When the kagome planes are stacked into a crystal, its electronic dimensionality encodes how much of t ...

Development of stencil lithography for stretchable interconnects

Yi-Chiang Sun

The growing needs for human healthcare have driven the development of wearable devices for monitoring the health status of an individual. Polymers represent a promising platform for such devices due to their ability to form an intimate contact between soft ...

Nanobridge Stencil Enabling High Resolution Arbitrarily Shaped Metallic Thin Films on Various Substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Yi-Chiang Sun

Stencil lithography (SL), which uses a perforated membrane as a reusable shadow mask to locally add material patterns on substrates provides a simple but versatile approach for the fabrication of functional devices on a large variety of substrate materials ...

Sondheimer oscillations as a probe of non-ohmic flow in WP2 crystals

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Yi-Chiang Sun, Jonas De Jesus Diaz Gomez, Maarten Ruud van Delft, Jacopo Oswald

As conductors in electronic applications shrink, microscopic conduction processes lead to strong deviations from Ohm's law. Depending on the length scales of momentum conserving (l(MC)) and relaxing (l(MR)) electron scattering, and the device size (d), cur ...

Stretchable Conductors Fabricated by Stencil Lithography and Centrifugal Force-Assisted Patterning of Liquid Metal

Jürgen Brugger, Giovanni Boero, Yi-Chiang Sun

Embedding liquid metals (LMs) into an elastomer is emerging as a promising strategy for stretchable conductors. Existing manufacturing techniques are struggling between spatial resolution and process complexity and are limited to chemically resistant subst ...

Handedness-dependent quasiparticle interference in the two enantiomers of the topological chiral semimetal PdGa

Roland Widmer, Samuel Thomas Stolz, Yi-Chiang Sun, Timur Kim

It has recently been proposed that combining chirality with topological band theory results in a totally new class of fermions. Understanding how these unconventional quasiparticles propagate and interact remains largely unexplored so far. Here, we use sca ...
