Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics
We introduce transition metal-dichalcogenide (TMD) nanostructures as a promising platform for the realisation of structural colours. Processing of semianalytically calculated reflectance spectra of TMD nanosphere arrays shows a wide range…
Nonlinear eigenvalue problems arise in a wide range of physical systems, in which system parameters depend on the eigenvalue. Such systems have been proposed to exhibit an extreme sensitivity of their spectra to boundary conditions, which…
Negative permittivity metamaterial is a scientifically rich avenue due to its tremendous application in several arena of materials research including novel superlens, band-gap materials, invisibility cloaks, antenna and filter design.…
We develop a theoretical framework for designing quantum couplers based on Dirac materials that can modulate the polarization of transmitted quasiparticles without significantly perturbing their propagation. We analyze in detail the…
The erratic non-Hermitian skin effect (ENHSE), emerging from the interplay between disorders and locally nonreciprocal yet globally reciprocal couplings, has reshaped the conventional bulk-boundary correspondence through its…
Van Hove singularities (vHSs) strongly amplify electron interactions and can stabilize correlated phases in topological bands. Here we report signatures of topological magnetism in large-angle twisted bilayer MoTe2 driven by the interplay…
Unlike for tunneling Josephson junctions, for which the current-phase relation is given by the sine function, with the critical current ($I_c$) and normal-state resistance ($R_N$) following the relation $I_cR_N=(\pi/2)\,\Delta_0/e$ (where…
We identify a boundary-robust topological signature of open Floquet lattices: although nonadiabatic boundaries strongly reshape the transmission lineshape, the integrated left--right transmission asymmetry saturates to a plateau set by the…
One of the central goals in the emergent field of altermagnetism is the unambiguous experimental identification and characterization of altermagnetic order across a variety of compounds. This motivates exploring tools that can clearly…
Phonons can carry angular momentum and exhibit chirality through the circular polarization of atomic motion. This enables a phonon-mediated spin Seebeck effect (SSE) via the conversion of phonon angular momentum into electron spin angular…
This study investigates the nanoscale conductivity of encapsulated monolayer graphene at temperatures down to 5 K and magnetic fields of up to 1 T. We use the scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) technique to…
The Josephson diode effect (JDE) has attracted significant attention for enabling directional, dissipationless supercurrents, positioning Josephson junctions as promising building blocks for next-generation quantum devices. Hybrid…
We investigate the interplay of disorder and interaction in two-dimensional electron systems in a strong magnetic field, focusing on the transition between Wigner crystals and fractional quantum Hall liquids. We first study classical Wigner…
The graph-theoretic topological frustration is a peculiar situation on a finite piece of the honeycomb lattice that prevents a full pairwise coupling of the lattice sites via nearest neighbor links, even when the total number of sites is an…
We report on the fabrication and characterization of patterned high-mobility two-dimensional electron gases (2DEG) formed on SrTiO$_3$ (STO) substrate surfaces by hydrogen plasma exposure. The resulting devices consistently showed high…
In solids, frequent electron-electron collisions can induce collective, fluid-like electron transport. While this regime offers a powerful framework for exploring many-body phenomena, there is still a lack in functional electronic device…
We present a theoretical framework for biexciton dynamics in molecular aggregates that explicitly treats populations and coherences across excitation manifolds within a reduced density-matrix formalism. By extending kinetic descriptions…
The magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), which describes the rotation and ellipticity of linearly polarized light upon reflection, is conventionally associated with time-reversal symmetry breaking. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that a…
Uniformity in the excitonic spectrum is a key requirement for accessing intrinsic excitonic physics in two-dimensional semiconductors; however, in transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers supported on substrates, exciton energies…
We investigate fractional edge modes in moire fractional quantum anomalous Hall states, focusing on the role of lattice momentum conservation and umklapp scattering. For the hierarchical nu=2/3 state, we show that, for a class of…
