it is conventionally characterized by asymmetric scattering of circularly polarized waves but …

Non-hermitian mott skin effect

T Yoshida, SB Zhang, T Neupert, N Kawakami - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We propose a novel type of skin effects in non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems that
we dub a “non-Hermitian Mott skin effect.” This phenomenon is induced by the interplay …
