Transport in two-dimensional topological materials: recent developments in experiment and theory

D Culcer, AC Keser, Y Li, G Tkachov - 2D Materials, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We review theoretical and experimental highlights in transport in two-dimensional
topological materials over the last five years. Topological materials comprise topological …

[HTML][HTML] Perspectives for spintronics in 2D materials

W Han - Apl Materials, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
The past decade has been especially creative for spintronics since the (re) discovery of
various two dimensional (2D) materials. Due to the unusual physical characteristics, 2D …

Interband coherence response to electric fields in crystals: Berry-phase contributions and disorder effects

D Culcer, A Sekine, AH MacDonald - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
In solid state conductors, linear response to a steady electric field is normally dominated by
Bloch state occupation number changes that are correlated with group velocity and lead to a …

Quantum kinetic theory of the chiral anomaly

A Sekine, D Culcer, AH MacDonald - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We present a general quantum kinetic theory of low-field magnetotransport in weakly
disordered crystals that accounts fully for the interplay between electric-field-induced …

Helical Edge Transport in Millimeter-Scale Thin Films of Na3Bi

C Liu, D Culcer, Z Wang, MT Edmonds, MS Fuhrer - Nano Letters, 2020 - ACS Publications
A two-dimensional topological insulator (2DTI) has an insulating bulk and helical edges
robust to nonmagnetic backscattering. While ballistic transport has been demonstrated in …

Kondo effect in Dirac systems

T Yanagisawa - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2015 - journals.jps.jp
We investigate the Kondo effect in Dirac systems, where Dirac electrons interact with the
localized spin via the s–d exchange coupling. The Dirac electron in solid state has the linear …

Screening, Friedel oscillations, and low-temperature conductivity in topological insulator thin films

WE Liu, H Liu, D Culcer - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
In thin topological insulator (TI) films, the top and bottom surfaces are coupled by tunneling,
which restores backscattering and strongly affects screening. We calculate the dielectric …

Kondo effect under the influence of spin–orbit coupling in a quantum wire

V Lopes, GB Martins, MA Manya… - Journal of Physics …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The analysis of the impact of spin–orbit coupling (SOC) on the Kondo state has generated
considerable controversy, mainly regarding the dependence of the Kondo temperature TK …

[HTML][HTML] Electronic properties of the Dirac and Weyl systems with first-and higher-order dispersion in non-Fermi-liquid picture

CH Wu - Physics Letters A, 2019 - Elsevier
We investigate the non-Fermi-liquid behaviors of the 2D and 3D Dirac/Weyl systems with
low-order and higher order dispersion. The self-energy correction, symmetry, free energy …

Unidirectional magnetotransport of linearly dispersing topological edge states

Z Wang, P Bhalla, M Edmonds, MS Fuhrer, D Culcer - Physical Review B, 2021 - APS
Quantum spin Hall edges are envisaged as next-generation transistors, yet they exhibit
dissipationless transport only over short distances. Here, we show that in a diffusive sample …
