The effect of silicon-oxide interface roughness on the weak-localization magnetoconductance of a silicon MOSFET in a magnetic field, tilted with respect to the interface, is studied. It is shown that an electron picks up a random Berry's…
The boundary charge that accumulates at the edge of a one-dimensional single-channel insulator is known to possess the universal property, that its change under a lattice shift towards the edge by one site is given by the sum of the average…
We study graphene with an adsorbed spin texture, where the localized spins create a periodic magnetic flux. The latter produces gaps in the graphene spectrum and breaks the valley symmetry. The resulting effective electronic model, which is…
We consider the random deposition of objects of variable width and height over a line. The successive additions of these structures create a random interface. We focus on the regime of heavy tailed distributions of the structure width. When…

We theoretically studied the interface states of liquid surface waves propagating through the heterojunctions formed by a bottom with one-dimensional periodic undulations. Via considering the periodic structure as a homogeneous one, our…
We are concerned with the inverse scattering problem of recovering an inhomogeneous medium by the associated acoustic wave measurement. We prove that under certain assumptions, a single far-field pattern determines the values of a…
Electronic states at domain walls in bilayer graphene are studied by analyzing their four and two band continuum models, by performing numerical calculations on the lattice, and by using quantum geometric arguments. The continuum theories…
Topology provides an essential concept for achieving unchanged (or protected) quantum properties in the presence of perturbations. A challenge facing realistic applications is that the level of protection displayed in real systems is…
In this letter, we derive the sharp-interface limit of the Cahn-Hilliard-Biot equations using formal matched asymptotic expansions. We find that in each sub-domain, the quasi-static Biot equations are obtained with domain-specific material…
We discuss the sharp interface limit of a diffuse interface model for a two-phase flow of two partly miscible viscous Newtonian fluids of different densities, when a certain parameter \epsilon>0 related to the interface thickness tends to…
Because of the bulk gap, low energy physics in the quantum Hall effect is confined to the edges of the 2D electron liquid. The velocities of edge modes are key parameters of edge physics. They were determined in several quantum Hall systems…

Effective interface conditions for a periodically voided thin layer separating two homogeneous bulk regions are derived for the elastic wave equation by taking the simultaneous limit of vanishing layer periodicity and layer thickness. The…
Assume that a bounded scatterer is embedded into an infinite homogeneous isotropic background medium in two dimensions. The refractive index function is supposed to be piecewise constant. If the scattering interface contains a weakly or…
We show that to account for the full spectrum of surface fluctuations from low scattering vector qd << 1 (classical capillary wave theory) to high qd > 1 (bulk-like fluctuations), one must take account of the interface's bending rigidity at…
Helical edge modes are characteristic of topological insulators in two dimensions. This paper demonstrates that helical edge modes remain across transitions to ordinary insulators or to semimetals under certain condition. Straight and…
In topological data analysis, persistent homology is used to study the "shape of data". Persistent homology computations are completely characterized by a set of intervals called a bar code. It is often said that the long intervals…
The mode-shell correspondence relates the number $I_M$ of gapless modes in phase space to a topological \textit{shell invariant} $\Ish$ defined on a close surface -- the shell -- surrounding those modes, namely $I_M=I_S$. In part I, we…
For a periodic structure sandwiched between two homogeneous media, a bound state in the continuum (BIC) is a guided Bloch mode with a frequency in the radiation continuum. Optical BICs have found many applications, mainly because they give…
