We investigate Bloch-Zener oscillations and mean-field Bloch bands of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a Lieb optical lattice. We find that the atomic interaction will break the point group symmetry of the system, leading to the…
We propose an experimental setup for the observation of quasi-relativistic massless Fermions. It is based on a T_3 optical lattice, realized by three pairs of counter-propagating lasers, filled with fermionic cold atoms. We show that in the…
Dirac materials are of great interest as condensed matter realizations of the Dirac and Weyl equations. In particular, they serve as a starting point for the study of topological phases. This physics has been extensively studied in…
We study the spectrum of two kinds of operators involving a conical geometry: the Dirichlet Laplacian in conical layers and Schr\"odinger operators with attractive $\delta$-interactions supported by infinite cones. Under the assumption that…
We suggest the tried approach of impurity band engineering to produce flat bands and additional nodes in Dirac materials. We show that surface impurities give rise to nearly flat impurity bands close to the Dirac point. The hybridization of…
We show by means of ab initio calculations and tight-binding modeling that an oxide system based on a honeycomb lattice can sustain topologically non-trivial states if a single orbital dominates the spectrum close to the Fermi level. In…
The properties of Dirac electrons in a magnetic superlattice (SL) on graphene consisting of very high and thin (delta-function) barriers are investigated. We obtain the energy spectrum analytically and study the transmission through a…
In an atomic vapor, a honeycomb lattice can be constructed by utilizing the three-beam interference method. In the method, the interference of the three beams splits the dressed energy level periodically, forming a periodic refractive index…
The type-II Dirac cone is a special feature of the band structure, whose Fermi level is represented by a pair of crossing lines. It has been demonstrated that such a structure is useful for investigating topological edge solitons, and more…
We study theoretically "graphene-like" plasmonic metamaterials constituted by two-dimensional arrays of metallic nanoparticles, including perfect honeycomb structures with and without inversion symmetry, as well as generic bipartite…
We study the Bose-Einstein condensate in a honeycomb optical lattice within Bogoliubov theory and find that for a ${\bf k} = 0$ condensate, the Dirac points appear in the Bogoliubov excitation spectrum when $0 < \beta < 2$, which…
Energy band structure of the bilayer graphene superlattices with $\delta$-function magnetic barriers and zero average magnetic flux is studied within the four-band continuum model, using the transfer matrix method. The periodic magnetic…
Photonic flat bands offer significant potential for strong light-matter interactions, nonlinear optics, and sensing thanks to their localization of light and high density of states. However, realizing these flat bands typically requires…
We study the band dispersion of graphene with randomly distributed structural defects using two complementary methods, exact diagonalization of the tight-binding Hamiltonian and implementing a self-consistent T matrix approximation. We…
We report on Bloch-Zener oscillations of an ultracold Fermi gas in a tunable honeycomb lattice. The quasi-momentum distribution of the atoms is measured after sequentially passing through two Dirac points. We observe a double-peak feature…
The spectrum of the two-dimensional continuum Dirac operator in the presence of a uniform background magnetic field consists of Landau levels, which are degenerate and separated by gaps. On the lattice the Landau levels are spread out by…
We study the band structure and the density of states of graphene in the presence of a next-to-nearest-neighbor coupling (N2) and a third-nearest-neighbor coupling (N3). We show that for values of N3 larger or equal to 1/3 of the value of…
We review the energy spectrum and transport properties of several types of one- dimensional superlattices (SLs) on single-layer and bilayer graphene. In single-layer graphene, for certain SL parameters an electron beam incident on a SL is…
Silicene, the two-dimensional allotrope of silicon, is predicted to exist in a low-buckled honeycomb lattice, characterized by semimetallic electronic bands with graphenelike energy-momentum dispersions around the Fermi level (represented…
Inspired by the recent creation of the honeycomb optical lattice and the realization of the Mott insulating state in a square lattice by shaking, we study here the shaken honeycomb optical lattice. For a periodic shaking of the lattice, a…
