Topological magnon insulators exhibit robust edge modes with chiral properties similar to quantum Hall edge states. However, due to their strong localization at the edges, interactions between these chiral edge magnons can be significant,…
We investigate the impact of the encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) on the Raman spectrum of few layer black phosphorus. The encapsulation results in a significant reduction of the line width of the Raman modes of black…

We investigate weakly coupled spin-1/2 ladders in a magnetic field. The work is motivated by recent experiments on the compound $\mathrm{(C_5H_{12}N)_2CuBr_4}$ (BPCB). We use a combination of numerical and analytical methods, in particular…
Twisted hexagonal boron nitride (thBN) exhibits emergent ferroelectricity due to the formation of moir\'e superlattices with alternating AB and BA domains. These domains possess electric dipoles, leading to a periodic electrostatic…
Presence of flat bands and edge states at the Fermi level in graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges is one of the most interesting and attracting properties of nanocarbon materials but it is believed that they are quite fragile states and…
In a groundbreaking experimental advance it was recently shown that by stacking two sheets of graphene atop of each other at a twist angle close to one of the so called "magic angles", an effective two-dimensional correlated system emerges.…
Encapsulating graphene in hexagonal Boron Nitride has several advantages: the highest mobilities reported to date are achieved in this way, and precise nanostructuring of graphene becomes feasible through the protective hBN layers.…
Systematic ab initio calculations show that the energy gap of boron nitride (BN) nanoribbons (BNNRs) with zigzag or armchair edges can be significantly reduced by a transverse electric field and completely closed at a critical field which…
A real-space method using generating integers is used to classify the possible moire patterns for two equal hexagonal lattices. The result is that the rotations that take (n,m) to (m,n) with n,m relatively prime form the fundamental moire…
