Nuclear effective field theory: status and perspectives

HW Hammer, S König, U Van Kolck - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2020 - APS
The nuclear-physics landscape has been redesigned as a sequence of effective field
theories (EFTs) connected to the standard model through symmetries and lattice simulations …

Weyl and Dirac semimetals in three-dimensional solids

NP Armitage, EJ Mele, A Vishwanath - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018 - APS
Weyl and Dirac semimetals are three-dimensional phases of matter with gapless electronic
excitations that are protected by topology and symmetry. As three-dimensional analogs of …

Classification of topological quantum matter with symmetries

CK Chiu, JCY Teo, AP Schnyder, S Ryu - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2016 - APS
Topological materials have become the focus of intense research in recent years, since they
exhibit fundamentally new physical phenomena with potential applications for novel devices …

Evolution of shell structure in exotic nuclei

T Otsuka, A Gade, O Sorlin, T Suzuki, Y Utsuno - Reviews of modern physics, 2020 - APS
The atomic nucleus is a quantum many-body system whose constituent nucleons (protons
and neutrons) are subject to complex nucleon-nucleon interactions that include spin-and …

Thermoelectric properties of Weyl and Dirac semimetals

R Lundgren, P Laurell, GA Fiete - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We study the electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity and the thermopower of Weyl
and Dirac semimetals using a semiclassical Boltzmann approach. We investigate the effect …

Four-loop critical exponents for the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa models

We study the chiral Ising, the chiral XY, and the chiral Heisenberg models at four-loop order
with the perturbative renormalization group in 4-ε dimensions and compute critical …

Location of the neutron dripline at fluorine and neon

DS Ahn, N Fukuda, H Geissel, N Inabe, N Iwasa… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
A search for the heaviest isotopes of fluorine, neon, and sodium was conducted by

Quantum transport of disordered Weyl semimetals at the nodal point

B Sbierski, G Pohl, EJ Bergholtz, PW Brouwer - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS

here address the effect of disorder on charge transport in Weyl semimetals. For a single …

Optical and transport properties in three-dimensional Dirac and Weyl semimetals

CJ Tabert, JP Carbotte, EJ Nicol - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
Within a Kubo formalism, we study dc transport and ac optical properties of 3D Dirac and
Weyl semimetals. Emphasis is placed on the approach to charge neutrality and on the …

Disorder and metal-insulator transitions in Weyl semimetals

CZ Chen, J Song, H Jiang, Q Sun, Z Wang, XC **e - Physical Review Letters, 2015 - APS
The Weyl semimetal (WSM) is a newly proposed quantum state of matter. It has Weyl nodes
