Inhomogeneous superconductors can host electronic excitations, known as Andreev bound
states (ABSs), below the superconducting energy gap. With the advent of topological …

As the first in a large family of 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials, graphene has attracted
enormous attention owing to its remarkable properties. The recent development of simple …

In the space of less than one decade, the search for Majorana quasiparticles in condensed
matter has become one of the hottest topics in physics. The aim of this review is to provide a …

Promoter elements enhance the activity and selectivity of heterogeneous catalysts. Here, we
show how methanol synthesis from synthesis gas over copper (Cu) nanoparticles is boosted …

This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

Majorana bound states are quasiparticle excitations localized at the boundaries of a
topologically nontrivial superconductor. They are zero-energy, charge-neutral, particle–hole …

A promising route for creating topological states and excitations is to combine
superconductivity and the quantum Hall (QH) effect. Despite this potential, signatures of …

We report a first-principles investigation of electronic structure, topological bands, and
electron-phonon interactions in metallic biphenylene sheets. Biphenylene is a recently …

Hybridizing superconductivity with the quantum Hall (QH) effect has notable potential for
designing circuits capable of inducing and manipulating non-Abelian states for topological …

Vertical heterostructures of two-dimensional (2D) crystals have led to the observations of
numerous exciting physical phenomena and presented the possibilities for technological …
