Superconductivity, superfluidity and quantum geometry in twisted multilayer systems

P Törmä, S Peotta, BA Bernevig - Nature Reviews Physics, 2022 - nature.com
Superconductivity has been observed in moiré systems such as twisted bilayer graphene,
which host flat, dispersionless electronic bands. In parallel, theory work has discovered that …

Topological phases in polar oxide nanostructures

J Junquera, Y Nahas, S Prokhorenko, L Bellaiche… - Reviews of Modern …, 2023 - APS
The past decade has witnessed dramatic progress related to various aspects of emergent
topological polar textures in oxide nanostructures displaying vortices, skyrmions, merons …

Topological insulators in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide homobilayers

F Wu, T Lovorn, E Tutuc, I Martin, AH MacDonald - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We show that moiré bands of twisted homobilayers can be topologically nontrivial, and
illustrate the tendency by studying valence band states in±K valleys of twisted bilayer …

Statefinder—a new geometrical diagnostic of dark energy

V Sahni, TD Saini, AA Starobinsky, U Alam - Journal of Experimental and …, 2003 - Springer
We introduce a new cosmological diagnostic pair {r, s} called the Statefinder. The Statefinder
is a geometrical diagnostic and allows us to characterize the properties of dark energy in a …

Electronic properties of graphene in a strong magnetic field

MO Goerbig - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
The basic aspects of electrons in graphene (two-dimensional graphite) exposed to a strong
perpendicular magnetic field are reviewed. One of its most salient features is the relativistic …

Y Ren, Z Qiao, Q Niu - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Topological phases with insulating bulk and gapless surface or edge modes have attracted
intensive attention because of their fundamental physics implications and potential …

Bose–Einstein condensation of excitons in bilayer electron systems

JP Eisenstein, AH MacDonald - Nature, 2004 - nature.com
An exciton is the particle-like entity that forms when an electron is bound to a positively
charged 'hole'. An ordered electronic state in which excitons condense into a single …

Charged skyrmions and topological origin of superconductivity in magic-angle graphene

E Khalaf, S Chatterjee, N Bultinck, MP Zaletel… - Science …, 2021 - science.org
Topological solitons, a class of stable nonlinear excitations, appear in diverse domains as in
the Skyrme model of nuclear forces. Here, we argue that similar excitations play an …

Kekulé spiral order at all nonzero integer fillings in twisted bilayer graphene

YH Kwan, G Wagner, T Soejima, MP Zaletel, SH Simon… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
We study magic angle graphene in the presence of both strain and particle-hole symmetry
breaking due to nonlocal interlayer tunneling. We perform a self-consistent Hartree-Fock …

Collective excitations of quantum anomalous hall ferromagnets in twisted bilayer graphene

F Wu, S Das Sarma - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
We present a microscopic theory for collective excitations of quantum anomalous Hall
ferromagnets (QAHF) in twisted bilayer graphene. We calculate the spin magnon and valley …
