Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics
Correlative nanoscale surface characterization benefits from simultaneously measuring electronic and structural properties in the same environment, a capability that is essential for modern-day materials science and semiconductor failure…
In two-dimensional materials where interacting Fermi pockets occur in valleys related by time-reversal symmetry, a spontaneous valley imbalance results in a novel state known as an orbital magnet. Due to the breaking of time-reversal…
Recently, nonequilibrium orbital angular momentum in low-dimensional systems has attracted renewed attention. Here we introduce a minimal three-orbital tight-binding model for a single helical chain and show that chirality alone generates a…
Crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) is a nonlocal quantum transport phenomenon that arises at the interface between a superconductor and two spatially separated metals. In this process, an electron incident from one metal combines with another…
Precise control of magnetic domain formation at the nanoscale remains constrained by stochastic defect-mediated and unstable pinning, limiting scalability and reproducibility in spintronic architectures. Here we demonstrate that spatially…
The nontrivial band topology for graphene with regular arrays of nanoholes with $C_{6v}$ symmetry is investigated theoretically. For the case of $3\sqrt{3} \times 3\sqrt{3}$ triangular array of nanoholes, we find an energy gap at $\Gamma$…
Altermagnets are rapidly emerging as a highly promising platform for spintronics, yet dynamically controlling their spin responses remains a fundamental challenge. In this work, we demonstrate that introducing periodic optical driving and…
Hybrid carbon nanotube-fullerene architectures provide a controllable platform for studying irreversibility and information flow in structured quantum environments. We analyze entropy generation in a system where paramagnetic endohedral…
Understanding the stochastic properties of conductance fluctuations in disordered mesoscopic systems is fundamental to quantum transport. In this work, we investigate the multifractal and ergodic properties of the fictitious time series of…
Radio-frequency (RF) reflectometry is widely used for high-bandwidth readout of semiconductor quantum devices at cryogenic temperatures, but its application has mainly been limited to nanoscale structures with relatively small capacitances.…
This study investigates non-adiabatic wave dynamics in condensed media and the transition from adiabatic stability to spectral chaos. We introduce a dimensionless parameter, as a universal metric to quantify phase-mode redistribution at…
The crystalline and optical anisotropy of low-symmetry two-dimensional (2D) materials can enable strong dichroic responses, enhancing polarization contrast for photonic and optoelectronic devices. Here, we unveil pronounced optical and…
Hydrodynamic electron transport arises when carrier kinetics are dominated by interelectron collisions rather than the relaxation of momentum out of the electron system. In recent years, signatures of electron hydrodynamics have been…
We report the realization and modeling of a triple-antidot molecule hosting three interacting quantum Hall quasiparticles, with tunnel coupling between antidots tunable via the magnetic field. The measured tunneling conductance spectrum…
We investigate the inverse Edelstein effect in a non-homogeneous system consisting of a ferromagnetic layer coupled to a Rashba two-dimensional electron gas. Within a semiclassical Boltzmann framework, we derive analytical expressions for…
We present a theory of the graphene nanoslide, a fundamental device for graphene straintronics that realizes a single pseudogauge barrier. We solve the scattering problem in closed form and demonstrate that the nanoslide gives rise to a…
In Si quantum dot systems, large magnetic field gradients are needed to implement spin rotations via electric dipole spin resonance (EDSR). By increasing the effective electron dipole, flopping mode qubits can provide faster gates with…
Subwavelength arrays of plasmonic nanoparticles allow us to control the behaviour of light at the nanoscale. Here, we develop an eigenmode analysis, employing a coupled electromagnetic dipole formalism, which permits us to isolate the…
Non-Hermitian quantum systems exhibit various interesting and inter-connected spectral, topological, and boundary-sensitive features. By introducing conditional boundary conditions (CBCs) for non-Hermitian quantum systems, we explore a…
The non-Hermitian skin effect is fundamentally characterized by its sensitivity to boundary conditions, reflected in changes to the energy spectrum and boundary-localized eigenstates. Here, we demonstrate that a spatially inhomogeneous…
