Over the last decade, layered crystals, dubbed van der Waals (vdW) materials, have attracted tremendous interest due to their unique properties in their single and few layer regimes. Their bulk counterparts, however, have only been recently…

Motivated by recent experimental results for zero-line modes (ZLMs) in a bilayer graphene system [Nature Nanotechnol. 11, 1060 (2016)], we systematically studied the influence of a magnetic field on ZLMs and demonstrated the physical origin…
We study the mean-field theory of charge-density wave (CDW) order in a layered system, including the effect of the long-range Coulomb interaction and of screening by uncondensed electrons. We particularly focus on the conditions necessary…
We report a first-principles projector augmented wave (PAW) study on Na$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$. With the sodium ion ordered insulating phase being identified in experiments, pure density functional calculations fail to predict an insulating ground…
We study WZW models with the large N=4 superconformal symetry. Our main result is a geometric interpretation of the large N=4 index. In particular, we find that states contributing to the index belong to spectral flow orbits of special RR…
Second order equations of the form $z'' + A_0 z + D z'=0$ in an abstract Hilbert space are considered. Such equations are often used as a model for transverse motions of thin beams in the presence of damping. We derive various properties of…
We derive a general quasiclassical approach for long-range magnetic-field quantization effects in superconductors. The method is applied to superclean d-wave superconductors in the mixed state. We study the delocalized states with energies…
Bound states in the continuum (BIC) are highly confined, nonradiative modes that can exist in open structures, despite their potential compatibility and coupling with the radiation spectrum, and may give rise to resonances with arbitrarily…
We perform saturated absorption spectroscopy on the D$\_2$ line for room temperature rubidium atoms immersed in magnetic fields within the 0.05-0.13 T range. At those medium-high field values the hyperfine structure in the excited state is…
Non-linear transport of electrons in strong electric fields, as typified by dielectric breakdown, is re-formulated in terms of the ground-state decay rate originally studied by Schwinger in non-linear QED. We discuss the effect of electron…
We study the response of a weakly damped vibrational mode of a nanostring resonator to a moderately strong resonant driving force. Because of the geometry of the experiment, the studied flexural vibrations lack inversion symmetry. As we…
A phenomenological model is proposed which describes the effect of both dc and rf magnetic fields, $H$, on the microwave surface impedance, Z_s=R_s+jX_s, of a superconductor containing weak link. Two cases are considered; a weak link…
A lattice model for disordered d-wave superconductors in class CI is reconsidered. Near the band-center, the lattice model can be described by Dirac fermions with several species, each of which yields WZW term for an effective action of the…
We study a system consisting of a superconducting flux qubit strongly coupled to a microwave cavity. Externally applied qubit driving is employed in order to manipulate the spectrum of dressed states. We observe resonance narrowing in the…
