Bismuth has been shown to be topological in its different allotropes and compounds, with one of the most notable examples being the Bi-Sb alloy, the first 3D topological insulator ever discovered. In this paper we explore two-dimensional…
In order to explain the anisotropic Rashba-Bychkov effect observed in several metallic surface-state systems, we use k.p perturbation theory with a simple group-theoretical analysis and construct effective Rashba Hamiltonians for different…
Co-adsorption of Bi and Sb on Ag(111) at room temperature yields a single-layer Bi(1-x)Sb(x) alloy with a rectangular 3xsqrt(3) structure containing four atoms per unit cell (2/3 ML total coverage) and lacking long-range chemical order. We…
We describe procedures to obtain the electronic structure of disordered systems using either tight binding like models or quite directly from ab inito density functional band structure calculations. The band structure is calculated using…
A topological superconductor features at its boundaries and vortices Majorana fermions, which are potentially applicable for topological quantum computations. The scarcity of the known experimentally verified physical systems with…
We report the discovery of superconductivity in binary alloy Sn$_{1-x}$Sb$_{x}$ with $x$ in the range of 0.43 to 0.6, which possesses a modulated rhombohedral structure due to the incommensurate ordering of Sn and Sb layers along the…
We have used density functional theory to study the structural stability of surface alloys. Our systems consist of a single pseudomorphic layer of $M_xN_{1-x}$ on the Ru(0001) surface, where $M$ = Fe or Co, and $N$ = Pt, Au, Ag, Cd, or Pb.…
In systems with broken inversion symmetry spin-orbit coupling (SOC) yields a Rashba-type spin splitting of electronic states, manifested in a k-dependent splitting of the bands. While most research had previously focused on 2D electron…
We present a theoretical analysis of electronic structure evolution in the group-IV alloy Ge$_{1-x}$Pb$_{x}$ based on density functional theory. For ordered alloy supercells we demonstrate the emergence of a singlet conduction band (CB)…
The interplay of topology and superconductivity has become a subject of intense research in condensed matter physics for the pursuit of topologically non-trivial forms of superconducting pairing. An intrinsically normal-conducting material…
Density functional calculations are carried out to study the symmetry and substitution-driven electronic phase transition in BaPb$_{1-x}$Sn$_x$O$_3$. Two end members BaSnO$_3$ and BaPbO$_3$, are found to be insulating and metallic,…
The InSb/CdTe heterojunction structure, characterized by low effective mass and high electron mobility, exhibits interfacial energy band bending, leading to the Rashba spin-orbit coupling effect and nonreciprocal transport, which makes its…
A topological superconductor is a fully gapped superconductor that exhibits exotic zero-energy Andreev surface states at interfaces with a normal metal. In this paper we investigate the properties of a three-dimensional time reversal…
The ferroelectric semiconductor $\alpha$-SnTe has been regarded as a topological crystalline insulator and the dispersion of its surface states has been intensively measured with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) over the…
Symmetry offers a useful approach to unfold the intertwined degrees of freedom. Thus it paves the way to resolve coexisting quantum orders into distinct symmetry sectors. Motivated by the recent observation of superconductivity in…
We propose the lead sulphide (PbS) monolayer as a 2D semiconductor with a large Rashba-like spin-orbit effect controlled by the out-of-plane buckling. The buckled PbS conduction band is found to possess Rashba-like dispersion and spin…
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) embedding models combine expert outputs using weighted linear summation, implicitly assuming a linear subspace structure in the embedding space. This assumption is shown to be inconsistent with the geometry of…
The equilibrium behavior of a system of elastic layers under tension in the presence of correlated disorder is studied using functional renormalization group techniques. The model exhibits many of the features of the Bose glass phase of…
We revisit model calculations of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and show that, in isotropic Rashba-coupled two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with pointlike potential impurities, the full solution of the semiclassical Boltzmann equation…
An atomically flat interface is achieved between face-centered cubic Al and diamond lattice Ge via molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Based on the measurements of scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), we demonstrate an atomically resolved lateral…
