Stacking order engineering of two-dimensional materials and device applications

C Fox, Y Mao, X Zhang, Y Wang, J **ao - Chemical Reviews, 2023 - ACS Publications
Stacking orders in 2D van der Waals (vdW) materials dictate the relative sliding (lateral
displacement) and twisting (rotation) between atomically thin layers. By altering the stacking …

Superconductivity and strong interactions in a tunable moiré quasicrystal

A Uri, SC de la Barrera, MT Randeria… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Electronic states in quasicrystals generally preclude a Bloch description, rendering them

Topological phase transition in non-Hermitian quasicrystals

S Longhi - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
The discovery of topological phases in non-Hermitian open classical and quantum systems
challenges our current understanding of topological order. Non-Hermitian systems exhibit …

Observation of the topological Anderson insulator in disordered atomic wires

EJ Meier, FA An, A Dauphin, M Maffei, P Massignan… - Science, 2018 - science.org
Topology and disorder have a rich combined influence on quantum transport. To probe their
interplay, we synthesized one-dimensional chiral symmetric wires with controllable disorder …

Experimental observation of anomalous topological edge modes in a slowly driven photonic lattice

S Mukherjee, A Spracklen, M Valiente… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Topological quantum matter can be realized by subjecting engineered systems to time-
periodic modulations. In analogy with static systems, periodically driven quantum matter can …

Higher-order topological insulators in quasicrystals

R Chen, CZ Chen, JH Gao, B Zhou, DH Xu - Physical review letters, 2020 - APS
Current understanding of higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) is based primarily on
crystalline materials. Here, we propose that HOTIs can be realized in quasicrystals …

Topological photonic quasicrystals: fractal topological spectrum and protected transport

MA Bandres, MC Rechtsman, M Segev - Physical Review X, 2016 - APS
We show that it is possible to have a topological phase in two-dimensional quasicrystals
without any magnetic field applied, but instead introducing an artificial gauge field via …

Non-hermitian delocalization in a two-dimensional photonic quasicrystal

Z Zhang, S Liang, I Septembre, J Yu, Y Huang, M Liu… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Theoretical and experimental studies suggest that both Hermitian and non-Hermitian
quasicrystals show localization due to the fractal spectrum and to the transition to diffusive …

Universality of Hofstadter butterflies on hyperbolic lattices

A Stegmaier, LK Upreti, R Thomale, I Boettcher - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Motivated by recent realizations of hyperbolic lattices in superconducting waveguides and
electric circuits, we compute the Hofstadter butterfly on regular hyperbolic tilings. Utilizing …
