The topological properties of materials are, until now, associated with the features of their crystalline structure, although translational symmetry is not an explicit requirement of the topological phases. Recent studies of hopping models…
We show that above the critical temperature of superconductor - metal phase transitions, both the longitudinal and Hall conductivity exhibit strong temperature dependent mesoscopic fluctuations, with amplitudes much larger than the…

Multi-Weyl semimetals feature band crossings with the dispersion that is, in general, linear in only one direction, and as a consequence their band structure is characterized by the monopole charge $n$ which can be greater than one. We show…
Three-dimensional topological semimetals host a range of interesting quantum phenomena related to band crossing that give rise to Dirac or Weyl fermions, and can be potentially engineered into novel quantum devices. Harvesting the full…

For three-dimensional non-interacting multi-band metals, we show that important information about the shape and the quantum geometry of Fermi surfaces is encoded in the subleading logarithmic term of bipartite charge fluctuations. This…
We find a series of topological phase transitions in a half-metal/superconductor heterostructure, by tuning the direction of the magnetization of the half-metal film. These include transitions between a topological superconducting phase…
In modern condensed matter theory, phases of electronic matter--such as metals and insulators-are fundamentally distinguished by the presence or absence of charge-carrying quasiparticles or excitations near the Fermi surface at low…
Metals have high electronic conductivities, but very low Seebeck coefficients, which traditionally make them unsuitable for thermoelectric materials. Recent studies, however, showed that metals can deliver ultra-high thermoelectric power…
Geometric evolution represents a fundamental aspect of many physical phenomena. In this paper we consider the geometric evolution of structures that undergo topological changes. Topological changes occur when the shape of an object evolves…
Strange or bad metallic transport, defined by its incompatibility with conventional quasiparticle pictures, is a theme common to strongly correlated materials and ubiquitous in many high temperature superconductors. The Hubbard model…
