Chirality is a fundamental symmetry concept describing discrete states, i.e., left-handed, right-handed, or achiral, and existing at disparate scales and in many categories of scientific fields. Even though symmetry breaking is…

In the absence of disorder, the degeneracy of a Landau level (LL) is $N=BA/\phi_0$, where $B$ is the magnetic field, $A$ is the area of the sample and $\phi_0=h/e$ is the magnetic flux quantum. With disorder, localized states appear at the…
