From defect to effect: controlling electronic transport in chevron graphene nanoribbons

Oleg Yazyev, Kristians Cernevics

While bottom-up synthesis allows for precise control over the properties of graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), the use of certain precursor molecules can result in edge defects, such as missing benzene rings that resemble a 'bite'. We investigate the adverse eff ...

Spinor GW /Bethe-Salpeter calculations in BerkeleyGW: Implementation, symmetries, benchmarking, and performance

Oleg Yazyev

Computing the GW quasiparticle band structure and Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) absorption spectra for materials with spin-orbit coupling have commonly been done by treating GW corrections and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) as separate perturbations to density- ...

Observation of a singular Weyl point surrounded by charged nodal walls in PtGa

Oleg Yazyev, Jan Hugo Dil, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Constrained by the Nielsen-Ninomiya no-go theorem, in all so-far experimentally determined Weyl semimetals (WSMs) the Weyl points (WPs) always appear in pairs in the momentum space with no exception. As a consequence, Fermi arcs occur on surfaces which con ...

Electronic transport in graphene with out-of-plane disorder

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

Real-world samples of graphene often exhibit various types of out-of-plane disorder-ripples, wrinkles and folds-introduced at the stage of growth and transfer processes. These complex out-of-plane defects resulting from the interplay between self-adhesion ...

Giant Chern number of a Weyl nodal surface without upper limit

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Shengnan Zhang

Weyl nodes can be classified into zero-dimensional (0D) Weyl points, 1D Weyl nodal lines, and 2D Weyl nodal surfaces (WNS), which possess finite Chern numbers. Up to date, the largest Chern number of WPs identified in Weyl semimetals is 4, which is thought ...

Electromechanical oscillations in bilayer graphene

Andras Kis, Oleg Yazyev, Gabriel Albert Autes, Fernando Gargiulo, Mohamed Malik Benameur, Sajedeh Manzeli

Nanoelectromechanical systems constitute a class of devices lying at the interface between fundamental research and technological applications. Realizing nanoelectromechanical devices based on novel materials such as graphene allows studying their mechanic ...

Light induced electron spin resonance properties of van der Waals CrX3 (X = Cl, I) crystals

Oleg Yazyev, Michele Pizzochero, Ravi Yadav

The research on layered van der Waals (vdW) magnets is rapidly progressing owing to exciting fundamental science and potential applications. In bulk crystal form, CrCl3 is a vdW antiferromagnet with in-plane ferromagnetic ordering below 17K, and CrI3 is a ...

Superior Adhesion of Monolayer Amorphous Carbon to Copper

Oleg Yazyev, Ruslan Yamaletdinov, Hanning Zhang

The single‐atom thickness of graphene holds great potential for device scaling, but its effectiveness as a thin metal‐ion diffusion barrier in microelectronics and a corrosion barrier for plasmonic devices is compromised by weak van der Waals interactions ...

Unraveling the origin of the peculiar transition in the magnetically ordered phase of theWeyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Oleg Yazyev, Ivica Zivkovic, Jian Rui Soh, Ravi Yadav

The recent discovery of topologically nontrivial behavior in Co3Sn2S2 stimulated a notable interest in this itinerant ferromagnet (T-C = 174 K). The exact magnetic state remains ambiguous, with several reports indicating the existence of a second transitio ...

Unified picture of lattice instabilities in metallic transition metal dichalcogenides

Oleg Yazyev, Diego José Pasquier

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) in the 1T polymorph are subject to a rich variety of periodic lattice distortions, often referred to as charge-density waves (CDWs) when not too strong. We study from first principles the fermiology and phonon disper ...

Structural Phase Transition and Bandgap Control through Mechanical Deformation in Layered Semiconductors 1T-ZrX2 (X = S, Se)

Helmuth Berger, Oleg Yazyev, Ana Akrap, Edoardo Martino, Michele Pizzochero, Kristians Cernevics, Konstantin Semeniuk

Applying elastic deformation can tune a material's physical properties locally and reversibly. Spatially modulated lattice deformation can create a bandgap gradient, favoring photogenerated charge separation and collection in optoelectronic devices. These ...

Diversity of radial spin textures in chiral materials

Oleg Yazyev, Alberto Crepaldi, Daniel Gosalbez Martinez

We introduce a classification of the radial spin textures in momentum space that emerge at the high-symmetry points in crystals characterized by nonpolar chiral point groups (D2, D3, D4, D6, T, O). Based on the symmetry constraints imposed by these point g ...

2D transition metal dichalcogenides

Oleg Yazyev, Andras Kis, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, Diego José Pasquier, Sajedeh Manzeli

Graphene is very popular because of its many fascinating properties, but its lack of an electronic bandgap has stimulated the search for 2D materials with semiconducting character. Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which are semiconductors of the t ...

Unconventional Flat Chern Bands and 2e Charges in Skyrmionic Moire Superlattices

Oleg Yazyev, Yifei Guan

The interplay of topological characteristics in real space and reciprocal space can lead to the emergence of unconventional topological phases. In this Letter, we implement a novel mechanism for generating higher-Chern flat bands on the basis of twisted bi ...
