Author(s): Fei Yang, Zheng Wei, Tian-Meng Li, and Su-Peng KouFloquet engineering offers a unique approach to generate nonequilibrium topological phases in which the unbounded nature of a quasienergy band allows two kinds of topological edge modes, one of them traversing the 0 gap and another one traversing the π gap. Characterizing of these two modes...

Author(s): Eric Brillaux, Andrei A. Fedorenko, and Ilya A. GruzbergWe study a non-Anderson disorder driven quantum phase transition in a semi-infinite Dirac semimetal with a flat boundary. The conformally invariant boundary conditions, which include those that are time-reversal invariant, lead to nodal-like surface states on the boundary. In this case...

Author(s): Florian Stainer and H. Martin R. WilkeningTernary Li halides, such as Li3MeX6 with, e.g., Me = In, Sc, Y and X = Cl, Br, are the center of attention for battery applications, as these materials might serve as ionic electrolytes. To fulfill their function, such electrolytes must have an extraordinarily high ionic Li+ conductivity. Layer-stru…...

Author(s): Francesco Verdelli, Andrea Baldi, and Jaime Gómez RivasWe report on strong coupling between light in open cavities formed by arrays of gold microparticles and the carbonyl molecular vibration in poly(methyl methacrilate). These arrays sustain surface lattice resonances (SLRs), which are optical modes generated by the enhanced radiative coupling...

Author(s): Vincent Noculak and Johannes ReutherThe pseudo-fermion functional renormalization group is generalized to treat spin Hamiltonians with finite magnetic fields, enabling its application to arbitrary spin lattice models with linear and bilinear terms in the spin operators. We discuss in detail an efficient numerical implementation of thi… [Phys....

Author(s): Andrew Kille and Andrei AfanasevIn this work, we examine the extraordinary behavior of polarization and spin angular momentum density in the vicinity of longitudinal field zeros in three-dimensional monochromatic acoustic fields. We demonstrate that, as governed by the continuity equation, the velocity fields of arbitrary acoustic… [Phys....
