We investigated phonon behavior of hexagonal close packed titanium under homogeneous shear deformation corresponding to the $\{10\bar{1}2\}$ twinning mode using first-principles calculation and phonon calculation. By this deformation, we…
Recently, it was shown both theoretically and experimentally that certain three-dimensional (3D) materials have Dirac points in the Brillouin zone, thus being 3D analogs of graphene. Moreover, it was suggested that under specific conditions…
Time-reversal symmetry (TRS) is pivotal for materials optical, magnetic, topological, and transport properties. Chiral phonons, characterized by atoms rotating unidirectionally around their equilibrium positions, generate dynamic lattice…
In this Letter, we predict a structural phase transition unique to chiral crystals with screw symmetry. In chiral crystals, the phonon frequency renormalized by the electron-phonon coupling depends on the handedness of circular…
Chiral phonons, circularly polarized lattice vibrations carrying intrinsic angular momentum, offer unprecedented opportunities for controlling heat flow, manipulating quantum states through spin-phonon coupling, and realizing exotic…
We present a model of the electronic properties of monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides based on a tight binding approach which includes the effects of strain and curvature of the crystal lattice. Mechanical deformations of the…
Full control of excitons in 2D materials is an important step to exploit them for applications. Straintronics is one method that can be used to effectively control the movement of excitons. Unfortunately, the effects of non-uniform strain…
The topological quantum states in two-dimensional (2D) materials are fascinating subjects of research, which usually highlight electron-related systems. In this work, we present a recipe that leads to Dirac phonon states with quantized…
Hexagonal boron nitride is an indirect band gap material with a strong luminescence in the ultraviolet. This luminescence originates from bound excitons recombination assisted by different phonon modes. The coupling between excitons and…
Bilayers of two-dimensional materials twisted at specific angles can exhibit exceptional properties such as the occurrence of unconventional superconductivity in twisted graphene. We demonstrate here that novel phenomena in twisted…
The current understanding of chirality suggests the existence of a connection between structure and angular momentum, including spin. This is particularly emphasised in the chiral induced spin selectivity effect, where chiral structures act…
A number of lattices exhibit moat-like band structures, i.e. a band with infinitely degenerate energy minima attained along a closed line in the Brillouin zone. If such a lattice is populated with hard-core bosons, the degeneracy prevents…
Chirality is a pervasive property of matter that underpins many important phenomena across physics, chemistry and biology. Given its broad significance, the development of protocols for rational control of chirality in solid state systems…
We demonstrate through first-principles calculations applied to the K$_{3}$NiO$_{2}$ crystal that a structural phase transition from an achiral to a chiral phase can be mediated by a degenerate soft phonon mode and controlled by pressure…
We investigate the chirality of phonon modes in twisted bilayer WSe2 and demonstrate distinct chiral behavior of the $K/K^\prime$ valley phonons for twist angles close to $0^{\circ}$ and close to $60^{\circ}$. In particular, multiple chiral…
The tunability of the interlayer coupling by twisting one layer with respect to another layer of two-dimensional materials provides a unique way to manipulate the phonons and related properties. We refer to this engineering of phononic…
Two-dimensional magnets have manifested themselves as promising candidates for quantum devices. We here report that the edge and strain effects during the device fabrication with two-dimensional honeycomb ferromagnets such as CrX$_3$ (X=Cl,…
A generation, propagation, and transfer of phonon angular momenta are examined on thermal transport in chiral insulative and diamagnetic crystals of $\alpha$-quartz. We found that thermally-driven phonons carry chirality-dependent angular…
In two-dimensional materials electronic band contacts often give non-trivial contribution to materials topological properties. Besides band contacts at high-symmetry points (HSP) in the Brillouin zone (BZ), like those in graphene, there are…
Chiral phonons are vibrational modes in a crystal that possess a well-defined handedness or chirality, typically found in materials that lack inversion symmetry. Here we report the discovery of chiral phonon modes in the kagome…
