The thermal Hall effect has been observed in a wide variety of magnetic insulators, yet its origins remains controversial. While some studies attribute the effect to intrinsic mechanism, such as heat carriers with Berry curvature, others…
Because electrons and ions form a coupled system, it is a priori clear that the dynamics of the lattice should reflect symmetry breaking within the electronic degrees of freedom. This has been recently clearly evidenced for the case of…

The surface phonon Hall viscosity (PHV)-an acoustic analog of axion electrodynamics-emerges from the strain response of magnetic topological insulators and gives rise to novel acoustic phenomena. In this work, we propose a previously…
When phonons couple to fermions in 2D semimetals, the interaction may turn the system into an insulator. There are several insulating phases in which the time reversal and the sublattice symmetries are spontaneously broken. Examples are…
