Patterning antidots, which are regions of potential hills that repel electrons, into well-defined
antidot lattices creates fascinating artificial periodic structures, leading to anomalous …

Fractals—objects with noninteger dimensions—occur in manifold settings and length scales
in nature. In this work, we identify an emergent dynamical fractal in a disorder-free …

Atomic-scale manipulation in scanning tunneling microscopy has enabled the creation of
quantum states of matter based on artificial structures and extreme miniaturization of …

Higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) are unique materials hosting topologically
protected states, whose dimensionality is at least by 2 lower than that of the bulk …
