  1. 1. Robust Platforms for Superconductivity : Disorder Robustness and Topological Density of States Peaks

    Author : Tomas Löthman; Annica M. Black-Schaffer; Carsten Honerkamp; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Superconductivity; Odd-Frequency Superconductivity; Nematic superconductivity; Topological Phases of Matter; Flat bands; Van Hove Singularity; Graphene; Twisted Bilayer Graphene; Rhombohedral graphite; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : We explore the connection between robust material platforms for superconductivity and the modern condensed matter physics paradigms of two-dimensional materials, topological states of matter, and odd-frequency superconductivity. Specifically, the recent discoveries of gapless topological matter and truly two-dimensional materials with graphene have greatly expanded the class of materials for which topology produces large, robust, even singular, density of states (DOS) peaks in the electronic structure that in turn are highly susceptible to new ordered states of matter, including superconductivity.

  2. 2. Geometry, Topology and Emergence in Moiré Systems

    Author : Ahmed Abouelkomsan; Emil Johansson Bergholtz; Felix von Oppen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Moiré materials; Topological phases; Fractional Chern insulators; Quantum geometry; Quantum Hall effects; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : The experimental discovery of correlated insulators and superconductivity in highly tunable Van der Waals heterostructures, such as twisted bilayer graphene, has highlighted the role of moiré patterns, resulting from tiny relative twists or lattice constant mismatches, in realizing strongly correlated physics. A key ingredient is the existence of very narrow flat bands where interaction effects are dominant. READ MORE

  3. 3. Strongly Correlated Moiré Materials

    Author : Ahmed Abouelkomsan; Emil Bergholtz; Vladimir Juričić; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : Recent advances in materials science have established Moiré materials as a new highly tunable and versatile form of quantum matter. When two dimensional atomic layers are brought into proximity, a tiny relative twist or a slight lattice mismatch produces Moiré patterns manifested in a superlattice structure with a lattice constant that is much larger than the lattice constants of the constituent layers.

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Non-equilibrium Green s function; 2D materials; Energy storage; Electron transport;

    Abstract : The field of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials provides a new platform for studying diverse physical phenomena that are scientifically interesting and relevant for technological applications. Novel applications in electronics and energy storage harness the unique electronic, optical, and mechanical properties of 2D materials for design of crucial components. READ MORE

  5. 5. Selfconsistent theory of superconductivity in unconventional superconductors

    Author : Fabian Schrodi; Peter M. Oppeneer; Alex Aperis; Jörg Schmalian; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; superconductivity; unconventional; Eliashberg theory;

    Abstract : Superconductivity is broadly believed to stem from either electron-phonon interaction (EPI) or from purely electronic mechanisms, such as antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations. For many materials the discussion about which of these interactions is the dominant "pairing glue" is still ongoing. READ MORE
