The engineering of new states of matter through Floquet driving has revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics. This technique enables the creation of hybrid topological states and ordered phases that are absent in normal systems.…
The PageRank algorithm is used to rank web pages by their importance. Since its development, the PageRank algorithm is a critical and fundamental part of search engines today. PageRank is a graph-based algorithm that ranks pages based on…
Black holes are objects that have a large mass and curve space time, characterized by their event horizon and singularity. Recently, an interesting concept of analogous black holes has emerged in the field of condensed matter physics. In…
The study of topologically ordered states have given rise to a growing interest in symmetry protected states in quantum matter. Recently, this theory has been extended to quantum many body systems which demonstrate ordered states at low…
The fractional quantum hall effect (FQHE) is a milestone of modern day physics, its disovery paved the way for the study of fractional charges which do not obey abelian physics. However, all FQHE require an external magnetic field in order…
Anisotropic bulk Dirac (or Weyl) cones in three dimensional systems have recently gained intense research interest as they are examples of materials with tilted Dirac (or Weyl) cones indicatig the violation of Lorentz invariance. In…
The Chern gap is a unique topological feature that can host non-abelian particles. The Kagome lattice forms a chern insulator with no gap. Upon the inclusion of magnetism the Kagome system hosts a Chern gap at the K points in the lattice.…
This work proposes an algorithm for fMRI data analysis for the classification of ADHD disorders. There have been several breakthroughs in the analysis of fMRI via 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs). With these new techniques it is…
Kagome Chern Magnets are lattices which host a Chern state when they are non-magnetic and a Chern Gap when they become magnetic. These Chern gaps can host fractional Chern Fermions. There has been extensive research in the RMn$_6$Sn$_6$…
The observation of wormholes has proven to be difficult in the field of astrophysics. However, with the discovery of novel topological quantum materials it is possible to observe astrophysical and particle physics effects in condensed…
We present an open source software package SpectroLab a Matlab-based tool developed in 2018 for the analysis of spectroscopic data. In this package, there are tools for derivative analysis, stacked energy contours, stacked plots for theory,…
Edge detection and image filters are commonly used in computer vision. However, they have never been applied to the data analysis of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data before in a systematic fashion. In this paper we…
Recently, kagome materials have become an engrossing platform to study the interplay among symmetry, magnetism, topology, and electron correlation. The latest works on RMn6Sn6 (R = rare earth metal) compounds have illustrated that this…
Topological Dirac and Weyl semimetals, which support low-energy quasiparticles in condensed matter physics, are currently attracting intense interest due to exotic physical properties such as large magnetoresistance and high carrier…
The higher order topological insulator (HOTI) has enticed enormous research interests owing to its novelty in supporting gapless states along the hinges of the crystal. Despite several theoretical predictions, enough experimental…
The rare-earth monopnictide family is attracting an intense current interest driven by its unusual extreme magnetoresistance (XMR) property and the potential presence of topologically non-trivial surface states. The experimental observation…
The prediction of non-trivial topological electronic states hosted by half-Heusler compounds makes them prime candidates for discovering new physics and devices as they harbor a variety of electronic ground states including…
Three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) have emerged as a unique state of quantum matter and generated enormous interests in condensed matter physics. The surfaces of a three dimensional (3D) TI are composed of a massless Dirac cone,…
The generation of input files for density functional theory (DFT) programs must often be manually done by researchers. If one wishes to produce a maximally localized wannier functions (MLWFs) the calculation consists of several separate…
Symmetry plays a major role in all disciplines of physics. Within the field of topological materials there is a great interest in understanding how the mechanics of crystalline and internal symmetries protect crossings between the…
