We report the results of a numerical study of nonequilibrium steady states for a class of Hamiltonian models. In these models of coupled matter-energy transport, particles exchange energy through collisions with pinned-down rotating disks.…
We study the topological phase transitions induced by Coulomb engineering in three triangular-lattice Hubbard models $AB_2$, $AC_3$ and $B_2C_3$, each of which consists of two types of magnetic atoms with opposite magnetic moments. The…
We discuss thermal transport of two-dimensional topological superconductors (TSCs) with broken time reversal symmetry, which are described by Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonians. From the calculations of bulk quantities only, without…
Topological phase transitions in a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI) with an exchange field of strength $g$ are studied by calculating spin Chern numbers $C^\pm(k_z)$ with momentum $k_z$ as a parameter. When $|g|$ exceeds a…
We study spin-orbit torques and charge pumping in magnetic quasi-one dimensional zigzag nanoribbons with hexagonal lattice, in the presence of large intrinsic spin-orbit coupling. Such a system experiences topological phase transition from…
Motivated by the recent experimental realization of the half-quantized Hall effect phase in a three-dimensional (3D) semi-magnetic topological insulator [M. Mogi et al., Nature Physics 18, 390 (2022)], we propose a scheme for realizing the…

Exploring various topological states (TS) and topological phase transitions (TPT) has attracted great attention in condensed matter physics. However, so far, there is rarely a typical material system that can be used as a platform to study…
Realizations of some topological phases in two-dimensional systems rely on the challenge of jointly incorporating spin-orbit and magnetic exchange interactions. Here, we predict the formation and control of a fully valley-polarized quantum…

In an earlier paper (physics/0006012) we had developed a method for computing the effective energy transfer between any two Fourier modes in fluid or magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flows. This method is applied to a pseudo-spectral, direct…
