Tuning the many-body interactions in a helical Luttinger liquid

J Jia, E Marcellina, A Das, MS Lodge, BK Wang… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Abstract In one-dimensional (1D) systems, electronic interactions lead to a breakdown of
Fermi liquid theory and the formation of a Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid (TLL). The strength of …

Edge physics in two-dimensional topological insulators

G Dolcetto, M Sassetti, TL Schmidt - La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento, 2016 - Springer

states protected by underlying symmetries. We review two-dimensional topological …

Conductance signatures of odd-frequency superconductivity in quantum spin Hall systems using a quantum point contact

C Fleckenstein, NT Ziani, B Trauzettel - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
Topological superconductors give rise to unconventional superconductivity, which is mainly
characterized by the symmetry of the superconducting pairing amplitude. However, since the …

Gapless insulating edges of dirty interacting topological insulators

YZ Chou, RM Nandkishore, L Radzihovsky - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We demonstrate that a combination of disorder and interactions in a two-dimensional bulk
topological insulator can generically drive its helical edge insulating. We establish this within …

Wigner crystallization in topological flat bands

B Jaworowski, AD Güçlü, P Kaczmarkiewicz… - New Journal of …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We study the Wigner crystallization on partially filled topological flat bands of kagome,
honeycomb and checkerboard lattices. We identify the Wigner crystals (WCs) by analyzing …
