Twisted graphene bilayers provide a versatile platform to engineer metamaterials with novel emergent properties by exploiting the resulting geometric moir\'{e} superlattice. Such superlattices are known to host bulk valley currents at tiny…
We validate that off-resonant electron transport across {\it ultra-short} oligomer molecular junctions is characterised by a conductance which decays exponentially with length, and we discuss a method to determine the damping factor via the…
We study the possibility of ferromagnetism in metals. The metal is described by two hybridized bands one of which includes Hubbard correlation whereas the other is uncorrelated. We parametrize the ratio of the band widths and their centers…
Flat bands - single-particle energy bands - in tight-binding networks have attracted attention due to the presence of macroscopic degeneracies and their extreme sensitivity to perturbations. This makes them natural candidates for emerging…
We prove that a system of discrete 2D in-plane dipoles with four possible orientations, interacting via a 3D dipole-dipole interaction plus a nearest neighbor ferromagnetic term, has periodic striped ground states. As the strength of the…
