Geometric aspects of nonlinear and nonequilibrium phenomena

T Morimoto, S Kitamura, N Nagaosa - Journal of the Physical Society …, 2023 - journals.jps.jp
We review recent developments in the research of nonlinear and nonequilibrium
phenomena in solids focusing on their geometrical aspects. We start with introducing the …

Unconventional superconductivity in UTe2

D Aoki, JP Brison, J Flouquet, K Ishida… - Journal of Physics …, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
The novel spin-triplet superconductor candidate UTe 2 was discovered only recently at the
end of 2018 and already attracted enormous attention. We review key experimental and …

Supercurrent-induced topological phase transitions

K Takasan, S Sumita, Y Yanase - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We show that finite current in superconductors can induce topological phase transitions, as
a result of the deformation of the quasiparticle spectrum by a finite center-of-mass (COM) …

Floquet topological superconductivity induced by chiral many-body interaction

S Kitamura, H Aoki - Communications Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Non-equilibrium engineering is becoming a seminal way for realising novel quantum
phases that are unimaginable in equilibrium. In particular, Floquet theory applied to …

Orbital Floquet engineering of exchange interactions in magnetic materials

S Chaudhary, D Hsieh, G Refael - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We present a scheme to control the spin-exchange interactions by manipulating the orbital
degrees of freedom using a periodic drive. We discuss two different protocols for orbital …

Laser-irradiated Kondo insulators: Controlling the Kondo effect and topological phases

K Takasan, M Nakagawa, N Kawakami - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate theoretically the nature of laser-irradiated Kondo insulators. Using Floquet
theory and the slave-boson approach, we study a periodic Anderson model and derive an …

Multiple Floquet Chern insulator phases in the spin-charge coupled triangular-lattice ferrimagnet: Crucial role of higher-order terms in the high-frequency expansion

R Eto, M Mochizuki - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
We study the effects of photoirradiation with circularly polarized light on the Dirac half-metal
state induced by the ferrimagnetic order in a triangular Kondo-lattice model. Our analysis …

Topological quantum walk with discrete time-glide symmetry

K Mochizuki, T Bessho, M Sato, H Obuse - Physical Review B, 2020 - APS
Discrete quantum walks are periodically driven systems with discrete time evolution. In
contrast to ordinary Floquet systems, no microscopic Hamiltonian exists, and the one-period …

Spatial-translation-induced discrete time crystals

K Mizuta, K Takasan, M Nakagawa, N Kawakami - Physical review letters, 2018 - APS
A discrete time crystal is a phase unique to nonequilibrium systems, where discrete time
translation symmetry is spontaneously broken. Most conventional time crystals proposed so …

Topological d-wave superconductivity in two dimensions

Y Yanase, A Daido, K Takasan, T Yoshida - Physica E: Low-dimensional …, 2022 - Elsevier
Despite intensive searches for topological superconductors, the realization of topological
superconductivity remains under debate. Previous proposals for the topological s-wave, p …
