Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics
Nonlinear Hall responses are a direct electrical probe of quantum geometry, but they are symmetry-forbidden in many pristine two-dimensional metals. We show that layer-selective magnetic proximity unlocks intrinsic linear and nonlinear Hall…
Higher order topology, in the form of the emergence of corner modes, is observed in two dimensions when crystalline symmetries are superposed on the Altland-Zirnbauer classification of topological insulators. It occurs in…
Reconstructing complex magnetization textures from nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry stray-field measurements presents a challenging inverse problem. In this work, we introduce a physics-informed method that addresses this by incorporating…
We show that periodically time-modulating the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in a two-dimensional magnon insulator may induce a topological phase transition that results in the presence of robust edge modes. To this end, we study a…
We investigate quantum noise in a mesoscopic quantum dot serving as a realization of the charged Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model weakly coupled to a fermionic lead via a tunnel contact. We find noise signatures under voltage and temperature…
In the context of an ever-expanding experimental and theoretical interest in the magnetization dynamics of mesoscopic magnetic structures, both in the classical and quantum regimes, we formulate a low energy field theory for the linear…
In the context of a growing interdisciplinary interest in the angular momentum of wave fields, the spin-wave case has yet to be fully explored, with the extensively studied notion of spin transport being only part of the broader picture.…
The tunability of superconducting magic-angle twisted-layer graphene films elevates this material system to a promising candidate for superconducting electronics. We implement a gate-tuned Josephson junction in a magic-angle twisted…
We present a stochastic approach to calculate the full statistics of classical voltage fluctuations across an arbitrary, nonlinear, dissipative device embedded in a circuit in the presence of a bias. We show how the feedback resulting from…
Disorder masks much of the rich physics in two-dimensional electronic systems, with charged impurities often the limiting factor. In graphene, progress in reducing disorder has largely stagnated since boron nitride encapsulation was…
We present a symmetry-resolved classification of two-dimensional spin-flip small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) patterns arising from dilute ensembles of spherical nanoparticles hosting magnetic vortex states. Based on a linear vortex…
We investigate the flat-band properties and topological phase transitions in a non-Hermitian twisted bilayer $\alpha-T_3$ lattice. Here, non-Hermiticity is introduced via Hatano-Nelson-type asymmetric hopping, while an aligned hexagonal…
We report Barkhausen-like switching at millitesla fields in an $n$-doped InAs/Al nanowire Josephson junction, which serves as an interferometric probe of intrinsic magnetic reconfigurations, as evidenced by discrete switching-current jumps.…
Coherent quantum phenomena can only emerge when decoherence is minimized, and mastery over decoherence is technologically crucial for designing and operating functional quantum devices. However, its microscopic mechanisms in…
Mismatched junctions formed by two C$_3$N zigzag nanoribbons of different widths provide a useful setting for studying quantum interference effects involving edge state transport. A crucial ingredient for this interference to appear is,…
Recent theoretical studies on the nonlinear response of spin and orbital degrees of freedom have discovered spin and orbital analogs of the photocurrent, with potential for characterizing topological materials and for applications. In this…
While spatial phonon coherence manifested through band folding is believed to be a key factor governing the anomalous thermal conductivity of periodic structures, we investigate phonon transport from the perspective of temporal coherence.…
Mid-infrared (MIR) emitters are critical components in advanced photonic systems, driving progress in fields such as chemical sensing, environmental monitoring, medical diagnostics, thermal imaging and free-space communications.…
The low temperature magnetoresistance of graphene functionalized by an array of magnetic Terbium Phthalocyanines molecules is found to exhibit a magnetic field-dependent 1/f noise, along with universal conductance fluctuations (UCFs)…
The quantum Hall effect realizes a quantized Hall resistance $R_{xy} = h/(\nu e^2)$ whereas the longitudinal resistance vanishes. The quantized value consists of the fundamental physical quantities, the elementary charge $e$ and the Planck…
