Level crossings induced by a longitudinal coupling in the transverse field Ising chain

Frédéric Mila, Grégoire Vionnet

We study the effect of antiferromagnetic longitudinal coupling on the one-dimensional transverse field Ising model with nearest-neighbor couplings. In the topological phase where, in the thermodynamic limit, the ground state is twofold degenerate, we show ...

Chiral gravitational waves from chiral fermions

Eray Sabancilar

We report on a new mechanism that leads to the generation of primordial chiral gravitational waves, and hence, the violation of the parity symmetry in the Universe. We show that nonperturbative production of fermions with a definite helicity is accompanied ...

Persistence of a surface state arc in the topologically trivial phase of MoTe2

Helmuth Berger, Arnaud Magrez, Oleg Yazyev, Marco Grioni, Philippe Bugnon, Alberto Crepaldi, Gabriel Albert Autes

The prediction of Weyl fermions in the low-temperature noncentrosymmetric 1T' phase of MoTe2 still awaits clear experimental confirmation. Here, we report angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) data and ab initio calculations that reveal a surface state arc ...

Dirac fermions at high-index surfaces of bismuth chalcogenide topological insulator nanostructures

Oleg Yazyev, Naunidh Singh Virk

Binary bismuth chalcogenides Bi2Se3, Bi2Te3, and related materials are currently being extensively investigated as the reference topological insulators (TIs) due to their simple surface-state band dispersion (single Dirac cone) and relatively large bulk ba ...

Observation of Weyl nodes and Fermi arcs in tantalum phosphide

Joël Mesot, Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes

A Weyl semimetal possesses spin-polarized band-crossings, called Weyl nodes, connected by topological surface arcs. The low-energy excitations near the crossing points behave the same as massless Weyl fermions, leading to exotic properties like chiral anom ...

The classical and quantum dynamics of molecular spins on graphene

Klaus Kern, Marko Burghard, Stephan Rauschenbach

Controlling the dynamics of spins on surfaces is pivotal to the design of spintronic(1) and quantum computing(2) devices. Proposed schemes involve the interaction of spins with graphene to enable surface-state spintronics(3,4) and electrical spin manipulat ...

Observation of Weyl nodes in TaAs

Joël Mesot

In 1929, H. Weyl proposed that the massless solution of the Dirac equation represents a pair of a new type of particles, the so-called Weyl fermions1. However, their existence in particle physics remains elusive after more than eight decades. Recently, sig ...
