In this work, we propose the quantum Hall system as a platform for exploring black hole phenomena. By exhibiting deep rooted commonalities between lowest Landau level and spacetime symmetries, show that features of both gravitational systems can be elegantly captured by simple mechanical model, inverted harmonic oscillator. Through correspondence, argue radiation phenomena in situations, such presented W. G. Unruh S. Hawking, bears parallel with saddle-potential scattering quasiparticles. We...
More than fifty years ago, excitonic insulators, formed by the pairing of electrons and holes due to Coulomb interactions, were first predicted. Since then, insulators have been observed in various classes materials, including quantum Hall bilayers, graphite, transition metal chalcogenides, more recently moire superlattices. In these an electron a hole with same spin bind together resulting exciton is singlet. Here, we report experimental observation spin-triplet insulator ultra-quantum...
We characterize topological features of Josephson junctions formed by coupled mesoscopic chiral $p$-wave superconducting islands. Through analytic and numerical studies the low-lying BdG (Bogoliubov-deGennes) spectrum, we identify localized MBS (Majorana bound states) nucleated in vortices application a perpendicular magnetic field. Additionally, demonstrate existence an extended that is delocalized around outer perimeter islands, which has measurable consequences on supercurrent phase...
Extreme space weather events occur during intervals of strong solar wind electric fields. Curiously these intervals, their impact on measures the Earth's response, like polar cap index, is not as high expected. Theorists have put forward a host explanations for this saturation effect, but there no consensus. Here we show that merely perception created by uncertainty in measurements, especially measurement times. Correcting reveals extreme elicit ~300% larger than previously thought....

We investigate connectivity properties of the SARS-CoV2 spike protein-human ACE2-receptor complex employing a protein side chain-based network method that allows us to span range from atomic global scales. analyze topology in terms clusters and cliques obtained averaging over snapshots MD simulations (from D.E.

We study the classical mechanics and dynamics of particles that retains some memory quantum statistics. Our work builds on earlier statistical thermodynamics such particles. Starting from effective manifold associated with two-particle bosonic fermionic coherent states, we show how their exchange statistics is reflected in symplectic form manifold. demonstrate analogues exclusion or bunching behavior expected states by studying trajectories various quadratic potentials. examples are one...

The minimal coupling of strain to Dirac and Weyl semimetals, its modeling as a pseudo-gauge field has been extensively studied, resulting in several proposed topological transport signatures. In this work, we study the effects on higher winding number semimetals show that is not for any larger than one. We focus double-Weyl semimetal an illustrative example application splits nodes produces anisotropic Fermi surface. Specifically, surface acquires nematic order. By extending chiral kinetic...

Abstract A microtubule is a cylindrical biological polymer that plays key roles in cellular structure, transport, and signalling. In this work, based on studies of electronic properties polyacetelene mechanical microtubules themselves (Spakowitz A. J., Phys. Rev. Lett. , 103 (2009) 248101), we explore the possibility could act as topological insulators are gapped to excitations bulk but possess robust bounds states at tube ends. Through analyses structural properties, model stack...
<p>The polar cap potential, a measure of the magnetosphere's response to solar wind, levels off during high wind electric field values. Several explanations have been proposed for this saturation effect, but there has no consensus. We show that may <em>merely be </em><em>perception</em> created by uncertainty in measurements and its propagation cap. Correcting reveals true is linear across full range These findings...
