Resistivities of heavy-fermion insulators typically saturate below a characteristic temperature $T^*$. For some, metallic surface states, potentially from a non-trivial bulk topology, are a likely source of residual conduction. Here, we…

In contrary to other 1D momentum-conserving lattices such as the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam $\beta$ (FPU-$\beta$) lattice, the 1D coupled rotator lattice is a notable exception which conserves total momentum while exhibits normal heat conduction…
