The recent discovery and synthesis of graphene materials have led to many applications in
various fields such as medicine, energy and environment. Here, we review the synthesis …

Topological superfluidity is an important concept in electronic materials as well as ultracold
atomic gases. However, although progress has been made by hybridizing superconductors …

Two-dimensional silicon carbide (2D-SiC) has attracted incredible research attention
recently because of its wide bandgap and high exciton binding energy. Here, we focus on …

Spin-polarized samples and spin mixtures of quantum degenerate fermionic atoms are
prepared in selected excited Bloch bands of an optical checkerboard square lattice. For the …

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are pristine model systems with a tunability and flexibility
that goes beyond solid-state analogies, eg, dynamical lattice-geometry changes allow …

In this study, the electronic and spin properties of SnX (X= P, As, Sb, Bi) monolayers under
biaxial strain were investigated using density functional theory. The electronic and spin …

We construct and solve a two-dimensional, chirally symmetric model of Dirac cones
subjected to a quasiperiodic modulation. In real space, this is realized with a quasiperiodic …

This monograph offers a comprehensive overview of diverse quantization phenomena in
layered materials, covering current mainstream experimental and theoretical research …

Topological defects in Bloch bands, such as Dirac points in graphene, and their resulting
Berry phases play an important role for the electronic dynamics in solid state crystals. Such …

We report the emergence of electronic edge states in time-periodically driven strained
armchair terminated graphene nanoribbons. This is done by considering a short-pulse …
