We propose spin valves where a 2D nonmagnetic conductor is intercalated between two
ferromagnetic insulating layers. In this setup, the relative orientation of the magnetizations of …

Condensed matter systems admit topological collective excitations above a trivial ground
state, an example being Chern insulators formed by Dirac bosons with a gap at finite …

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

The emergence of local moments in graphene zigzag edges, grain boundaries, vacancies
and sp 3 defects has been widely studied theoretically. However, conclusive experimental …

We experimentally reveal the emergence of edge states in a photonic lattice with orbital
bands. We use a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of coupled micropillars whose bulk …

We have investigated the Fano factor and shot noise theoretically in the confined region of
the potential well of zigzag graphene nanoribbon (ZGNR). We have found that the Fano …

The generalized Kadanoff–Baym ansatz (GKBA) offers a computationally inexpensive
approach to simulate out-of-equilibrium quantum systems within the framework of …

Protected and spin-polarized transport channels are the hallmark of topological insulators,
coming along with an intrinsic strong spin–orbit coupling. Here we identified such …

The advent of topological phases of matter revealed a variety of observed boundary
phenomena, such as chiral and helical modes found at the edges of two-dimensional (2D) …

Oligo (indenoindenes)(OInIn) are π-conjugated ladder carbon polymers with alternating
hexagons and pentagons, hosting one unpaired electron for each of the latter in the open …
