The formation of a charge density wave (CDW) in two-dimensional (2D) materials caused by Peierls instability is a controversial topic. This study investigates the extensively debated role of Fermi surface nesting in causing the CDW state in…

Shortly after the discovery of Weyl semimetals properties related to the topology of their bulk band structure have been observed, e.g. signatures of the chiral anomaly and Fermi arc surface states. These essentially single particle…

Different instabilities have been speculated for a three-dimensional electron gas confined to its lowest Landau level. The phase transition induced in graphite by a strong magnetic field, and believed to be a Charge Density Wave (CDW), is…

Graphene is known to be non-superconducting. However, surprising superconductivity is recently discovered in a flat-band in a twisted bi-layer graphene. Here we show that superconductivity can be more easily realized in topological…

We propose that the inversion symmetry of the graphene honeycomb lattice is spontaneously broken via a magnetic field dependent Peierls distortion. This leads to valley splitting of the $n=0$ Landau level but not of the other Landau levels.…

Proximity effect is a very powerful approach and has been widely applied to induce electron correlations such as: superconductivity, magnetism and spin-orbit effects at the interface of heterostructure quantum materials. However, proximity…

We examine strain-induced quantized Landau levels in graphene. Specifically, arc-bend strains are found to cause nonuniform pseudomagnetic fields. Using an effective Dirac model which describes the low-energy physics around the nodal…

We report on the stability of the quantum Hall plateau in wide Hall bars made from a chemically gated graphene film grown on SiC. The $\nu=2$ quantized plateau appears from fields $B \simeq 5$ T and persists up to $B \simeq 80$ T. At high…

Charge density wave (CDW) phases are symmetry-reduced states of matter in which a periodic modulation of the electronic charge frequently leads to drastic changes of the electronic spectrum, including the emergence of energy gaps. We…

Motivated by the surge in research activities on graphene, we investigate instabilities of electrons on the honeycomb lattice, interacting by onsite and nearest-neighbor terms, using a renormalization group scheme. Near half band-filling,…

In an ideal graphene sheet charge carriers behave as two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermions governed by the quantum mechanics of massless relativistic particles. This has been confirmed by the discovery of a half-integer quantum Hall effect in…

Since their theoretical prediction by Peierls in the 30s, charge density waves (CDW) have been one of the most commonly encountered electronic phases in low dimensional metallic systems. The instability mechanism originally proposed…

Charge density wave (CDW) implies a periodic modulation of the charge density. Typically observed in metallic systems, CDWs arise from Fermi surface instabilities, resulting in the total or partial gapping of the Fermi surface. Here, we…

We consider the scenario where a 4-lattice constant, rotationally symmetric charge density wave (CDW) is present in the underdoped cuprates. We prove a theorem that puts strong constraint on the possible form factor of such a CDW. We…

Certain layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), such as 1T-TaS2, show a rich collection of charge density wave (CDW) phases at different temperatures, and their atomic structures and electron conductions have been widely studied.…

The proximity-effect, whereby materials in contact appropriate each others electronic-properties, is widely used to induce correlated states, such as superconductivity or magnetism, at heterostructure interfaces. Thus far however,…

We previously show [JETP Letters, {\bf 114}, 763 (2021)] that a graphene sample placed on a ferromagnetic substrate demonstrates a cooperative magnetoelectronic instability. The instability induces a gap in the electronic spectrum and a…

An incommensurate charge density wave (CDW) is a periodic modulation of charge that breaks translational symmetry incongruently with the underlying lattice. Its low-energy excitations, the phason, are collective, gapless phase fluctuations.…

We predict a new type of phase transition in a quasi-two dimensional system of electrons at high magnetic fields, namely the stabilization of a density wave which transforms a two dimensional open Fermi surface into a periodic chain of…

Spatially varying strain patterns can qualitatively alter the electronic properties of graphene, acting as effective valley-dependent magnetic fields and giving rise to pseudo-Landau-level (PLL) quantization. Here, we show that the…
