In search of materials with three-dimensional flat band dispersions, using {\em ab-initio} computations, we investigate how topological phases evolve as a function of hydrostatic pressure and uniaxial strain in two types of superlattices:…
We present comparatively simple two-dimensional and three-dimensional checkerboard-like optical lattices possessing nontrivial topological properties. By simple tuning of the parameters these lattices can have a topological insulating…
Based on the first-principles study, we report a new set of topological semimetals (TiS, TiSe, TiTe, HfS, HfSe, HfTe and ZrS) which show the co-existence of a nodal-ring and triply-degenerate points. The two-fold degenerate one-dimensional…
Topological nodal-line semimetals (TNLSs) exhibit exotic physical phenomena due to a one-dimensional (1D) band touching line, rather than discrete (Dirac or Weyl) points. While so far proposed two-dimensional (2D) TNLSs possess closed nodal…
In this work, we develop a coupled layer construction of fracton topological orders in $d=3$ spatial dimensions. These topological phases have sub-extensive topological ground-state degeneracy and possess excitations whose movement is…
Twisted bilayers of nodal superconductors were recently proposed as a promising platform to host superconducting phases that spontaneously break time-reversal symmetry. Here we extend this analysis to twisted multilayers, focusing on two…
We present a comprehensive study of the band alignments of two-dimensional (2D) semiconducting materials and highlight the possibilities of forming momentum-matched type I, II and III heterojunctions; an enticing possibility being atomic…
In layered materials, a common mode of deformation involves buckling of the layers under tensile deformation in the direction perpendicular to the layers. The instability mechanism, which operates in elastic materials from geological to…
We analyze the possible existence of topological phases in two-legged spin ladders considering a staggered interaction in both chains. When the staggered interaction in one chain is shifted by one site with respect to the other chain, the…
We introduce three numerical methods for characterizing the topological phases of three-dimensional multiband Hubbard models based on twisted boundary conditions, Wilson loops, as well as the local topological marker. We focus on the…
Recently it was discovered that superconductivity in transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is strongly affected by an out-of-plane spin-orbit coupling (SOC). In addition, new techniques of fabricating 2d ferromagnets on van der Waals…
Two-dimensional (2D) phase-change materials (PCMs) with moderate transition barriers and distinctly contrasting properties are highly desirable for multifunctional devices, yet such systems remain scarce. Using first-principles…
We show the existence of a force induced triple point in an interacting polymer problem that allows two zero-force thermal phase transitions. The phase diagrams for three different models of mutually attracting but self avoiding polymers…
Topological materials in crystal solids, including topological insulators (TIs), topological crystalline insulators (TCIs), topological Dirac semimetals (DSMs), topological Weyl semimetals (WSMs), topological Dirac or Weyl nodal line…
A superconducting hybrid structure composed of three layers is considerated.The 2D layers interact mutually by higher grade inter-layer couplings.We determine the possible superconducting modes. Those solutions enable to discuss the…
Numerous efforts have been devoted to reveal exotic semimetallic phases with topologically non-trivial bulk and/or surface states in materials with strong spin-orbit coupling. In particular, semimetals with nodal line Fermi surface (FS)…
The recent discovery of triply degenerate points (TDPs) in topological materials has opened a new perspective toward the realization of novel quasiparticles without counterparts in quantum field theory. The emergence of such protected nodes…
Driving quantum phase transitions in the 3D topological insulators offers pathways to tuning the topological states and their properties. We use DFT-based calculations to systematically investigate topological phase transitions in…
Two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes) have gained popularity in fields such as energy storage, catalysis, and electromagnetic interference due to their diverse elemental compositions and variable surface…
Topological phases with insulating bulk and gapless surface or edge modes have attracted much attention because of their fundamental physics implications and potential applications in dissipationless electronics and spintronics. In this…
