In the recent years, the thermal Hall transport has risen as an important diagnosis of the
physical properties of the elementary excitations in various quantum materials, especially …

The concept of chirality is of great relevance in nature, from chiral molecules such as sugar
to parity transformations in particle physics. In condensed matter physics, recent studies …

The material α-RuCl 3 has been the subject of intense scrutiny as a potential Kitaev
quantum spin liquid, predicted to display Majorana fermions as low-energy excitations. In …

Thermal chirality, generically referring to the handedness of heat flux, provides a significant
possibility for modern heat control. It may be realized with the thermal Hall effect yet at the …

The origin of phonon thermal Hall Effect (THE) observed in a variety of insulators is yet to be
identified. Here, we report on the observation of a thermal Hall conductivity in a non …

A thermal Hall effect occurs in an increasing number of insulators and is often attributed to
phonons, but the underlying mechanism is not known in most cases. Two main scenarios …

We present computations of the thermal Hall coefficient of phonons scattering off a defect
with multiple energy levels. Using a microscopic formulation based on the Kubo formula, we …

It has become common knowledge that phonons can generate thermal Hall effect in a wide
variety of materials, although the underlying mechanism is still controversial. We study …

Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of
the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom …

We propose a mechanism to obtain chiral phononlike excitations from the bond-dependent
magnetoelastic couplings in the absence of out-of-plane magnetization and magnetic fields …
