Many textbook physical effects in crystals are enabled by some specific symmetries. In contrast to such 'apparent effects','hidden effect X'refers to the general condition where the …
In this review, we present an update on the methods for screening 2D materials suitable for valleytronic applications. We begin with an introduction to the field highlighting some of the …
Understanding the geometric properties of quantum states and their implications in fundamental physical phenomena is a core aspect of contemporary physics. The quantum …
The layer Hall effect describes electrons spontaneously deflected to opposite sides at different layers, which has been experimentally reported in the MnBi2Te4 thinfilms under …
Topologically nontrivial two-dimensional materials hold great promise for next-generation optoelectronic applications. However, measuring the Hall or spin-Hall response is often a …
We performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) of bulk 2H-WSe 2 for different crystal orientations linked to each other by time-reversal symmetry. We introduce a …
The discovery of hidden spin polarization (HSP) in centrosymmetric nonmagnetic crystals, ie, spatially distributed spin polarization originated from local symmetry breaking, has …
Pumping graphene with circularly polarized light is the archetype of light-tailoring topological bands. Realizing the induced Floquet-Chern-insulator state and demonstrating …

A phase characterized by a spatially modulated order parameter is counter-intuitive because of the entropy penalty that the modulations incur. Its possible existence in superconductors …
