We explore edge currents in heterostructures formed of a high-$T_c$ cuprate and a conventional $s$-wave superconductors. The resulting $d\pm is$ superconductor spontaneously breaks time reversal symmetry and, remarkably, exhibits large edge…

The convergence of multigrid methods degrades significantly if a small number of low quality cells are present in a finite element mesh, and this can be a barrier to the efficient and robust application of multigrid on complicated geometric…
Properly modulated flatband lattices have a divergent density of states at the flatband energy. Quasiperiodic modulations are known to host a metal insulator transition already in one space dimension. Their embedding into flatband…
