Strain engineering is one of the key technologies for using graphene as an electronic device: the strain-induced pseudo-gauge field reflects Dirac electrons, thus opening the so-called conduction gap. Since strain accumulates in…
Graphene is famous for being a host of 2D Dirac fermions. However, spin-orbit coupling introduces a small gap, so that graphene is formally a quantum spin hall insulator. Here we present symmetry-protected 2D Dirac semimetals, which feature…
It has been widely accepted that planar boron structures, composed of triangular and hexagonal motifs are the most stable two dimensional (2D) phases and likely precursors for boron nanostructures. Here we predict, based on ab initio…
Magnetic field induced superconductivity is a rare property in nature due to the sensitivity of spin-singlet Cooper pairing to time-reversal symmetry breaking perturbations. However, in rare cases, an interplay between magnetic fields and…
A computation methodology based on ab initio evolutionary algorithms and the spin-polarized density functional theory was developed to predict two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials. Its application to a model system borophene reveals an…
Recently, the crystal symmetry-protected topological semimetals have aroused extensive interests, especially for the nonsymmorphic symmetry-protected one. We list the possible nonmagnetic topological semimetals and develop their k.p…
Two-dimensional and three-dimensional massless Dirac fermions can form a sequence of quasibound states with an attractive charged impurity. These quasibound states exhibit a discrete scaling symmetry, i.e., the energy ratio between two…
The orbital diamagnetic susceptibility is calculated in monolayer and bilayer graphenes with band gap as well as in three-dimensional Dirac systems. It is demonstrated that the pseudo-spin degree of freedom such as valleys produces…
Two-dimensional Dirac semimetal with tilted Dirac cone has recently attracted increasing interest. Tilt of Dirac cone can be realized in a number of materials, including deformed graphene, surface state of topological crystalline insulator,…
Altermagnets provide a natural platform for studying and exploiting piezomagnetism. In this paper, we introduce a class of insulating altermagnets in two dimensions (2D) referred to as Dirac quadrupole altermagnets, and show based on…
A strong spin Nernst effect with nontrivial dependences on the carrier concentration and electric field applied is expected in silicene and other low-buckled Dirac materials. These Dirac materials can be considered as being made of two…
Honeycomb structures of group IV elements can host massless Dirac fermions with non-trivial Berry phases. Their potential for electronic applications has attracted great interest and spurred a broad search for new Dirac materials especially…
We calculate the dynamic polarizability under the random phase approximation for the dice lattice. This two-dimensional system gives rise to massless Dirac fermions with pseudospin-1 in the low-energy quantum excitation spectrum, providing…
In addition to the known pseudomagnetic field, nonuniform strains independently induce a position-dependent Fermi velocity (PDFV) in graphene. Here we demonstrate that, due to the presence of a PDFV, the Dirac fermions on a nonuniform…
Elastic strain can displace the massless Dirac fermions in monolayer graphene in a space-dependent fashion, similar to the effect of an external magnetic field, thus giving rise to Landau quantization. We here show that the strain-induced…
Emergence of ferromagnetism in non-magnetic semiconductors is strongly desirable, especially in topological materials thanks to the possibility to achieve quantum anomalous Hall effect. Based on first-principles calculations, we propose…
The interface between two-dimensional (2D) crystals often forms a Moire superstructure that imposes a new periodicity, which is a key element in realizing complex electronic phases as evidenced in twisted bilayer graphene. A combined angle…
We examine strain-induced quantized Landau levels in graphene. Specifically, arc-bend strains are found to cause nonuniform pseudomagnetic fields. Using an effective Dirac model which describes the low-energy physics around the nodal…
Mechanical deformations of graphene induce a term in the Dirac Hamiltonian which is reminiscent of an electromagnetic vector potential. Strain gradients along particular lattice directions induce local pseudomagnetic fields and substantial…
We propose a method to detect the geometric phase produced by the Dirac-type band structure of a triangular-lattice photonic crystal. The spectrum is known to have a conical singularity (= Dirac point) with a pair of nearly degenerate modes…
