Unified analysis of topological defects in 2D systems of active and passive disks

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Pasquale Digregorio

We provide a comprehensive quantitative analysis of localized and extended topological defects in the steady state of 2D passive and active repulsive Brownian disk systems. We show that, both in and out-of-equilibrium, the passage from the solid to the hex ...

Topological Linear System Identification via Moderate Deviations Theory

Daniel Kuhn, Tobias Sutter, Wouter Jongeneel

Two dynamical systems are topologically equivalent when their phase-portraits can be morphed into each other by a homeomorphic coordinate transformation on the state space. The induced equivalence classes capture qualitative properties such as stability or ...

Motile dislocations knead odd crystals into whorls

Alexis Poncet, Sofia Magkiriadou

The competition between thermal fluctuations and potential forces governs the stability of matter in equilibrium, in particular the proliferation and annihilation of topological defects. However, driving matter out of equilibrium allows for a new class of ...

Guided accumulation of active particles by topological design of a second-order skin effect

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Samuel Sanchez

Collective guidance of out-of-equilibrium systems without using external fields is a challenge of paramount importance in active matter, ranging from bacterial colonies to swarms of self-propelled particles. Designing strategies to guide active matter and ...

Experimental Observation and Spin Texture of Dirac Node Arcs in Tetradymite Topological Metals

Emmanouil Frantzeskakis, Ji Dai

We report the observation of a nontrivial spin texture in Dirac node arcs, i.e., novel topological objects formed when Dirac cones of massless particles extend along an open one-dimensional line in momentum space. We find that such states are present in al ...

Metastable skyrmion lattices governed by magnetic disorder and anisotropy in beta-Mn-type chiral magnets

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

Magnetic skyrmions are vortexlike topological spin textures often observed in structurally chiral magnets with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Among them, Co-Zn-Mn alloys with a beta-Mn-type chiral structure host skyrmions above room temperature. In thi ...

Magnon Modes of Microstates and Microwave-Induced Avalanche in Kagome Artificial Spin Ice with Topological Defects

Dirk Grundler, Vinayak Shantaram Bhat

We investigate spin dynamics of microstates in artificial spin ice (ASI) in Ni81Fe19 nanomagnets arranged in an interconnected kagome lattice using microfocus Brillouin light scattering, broadband ferromagnetic resonance, magnetic force microscopy, x-ray p ...

Direct Observation of the Statics and Dynamics of Emergent Magnetic Monopoles in a Chiral Magnet

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Jonathan White

In the three-dimensional (3D) Heisenberg model, topological point defects known as spin hedgehogs behave as emergent magnetic monopoles, i.e., quantized sources and sinks of gauge fields that couple strongly to conduction electrons, and cause unconventiona ...

Room-temperature skyrmion phase in bulk Cu2OSeO3 under high pressures

Helmuth Berger

A skyrmion state in a noncentrosymmetric helimagnet displays topologically protected spin textures with profound technological implications for high-density information storage, ultrafast spintronics, and effective microwave devices. Usually, its equilibri ...

Hermitian formulation of multiple scattering induced topological phases in metamaterial crystals

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Nadège Sihame Kaïna

In this article we develop an analog to the SSH model in tight-binding chains of resonators and an innovative Hermitian matrix formulation to describe the topological phases induced by multiple scattering at subwavelength scales in one-dimensional structur ...

Influence of Minor Cr Additions on Crystal Growth in Rapidly Solidified Al-20Zn Alloys

Michel Rappaz

It has been discovered quite recently that Icosahedral Short-Range Order (ISRO) of atoms in the liquid phase of metallic alloys surrounding some trace elements added to the melt can influence both the nucleation and growth of the primary phase. In this wor ...

Oxidation States, Thouless' Pumps, and Nontrivial Ionic Transport in Nonstoichiometric Electrolytes

Federico Grasselli

Thouless' quantization of adiabatic particle transport permits one to associate an integer topological charge with each atom of an electronically gapped material. If these charges are additive and independent of atomic positions, they provide a rigorous de ...
