We study bistability in the electron transport through a ring of N coupled quantum dots with two orbitals in each dot. One orbital is localized (called b orbital) and coupling of the b orbitals in any two dots is negligible; the other is…
We theoretically show that two distinctive spin textures manifest themselves around saddle points of energy bands in a monolayer NbSe$_2$ under external gate potentials. While the density of states at all saddle points diverge…
