Amorphous topological matter: Theory and experiment

نویسندگان

چکیده

Topological phases of matter are ubiquitous in crystals, but less is known about their existence amorphous systems, that lack long-range order. In this perspective, we review the recent progress made on theoretically defining topological and new phenomenology they can open. We revisit key experiments suggesting exist both solid-state synthetic systems. finish by discussing open questions field, promises to significantly enlarge set materials systems benefiting from robustness matter.

Baryonic Dark Matter : Theory and Experiment . Overview .

The general arguments for baryonic and galactic dark matter are presented. Limits coming from a variety of theoretical considerations and observations are discussed. The surviving candidates for galactic baryonic dark matter seem most likely to be in the form of compact objects and could be in one of two mass windows: either in the brown dwarf regime or in the mass range corresponding to superm...

Gauge theory of topological phases of matter

We study the response of quantum many-body systems to coupling some of their degrees of freedom to external gauge fields. This serves to understand the current Green functions and transport properties of interacting many-body systems. Our analysis leads to a “gauge theory of states of matter” complementary to the well-known Landau theory of order parameters. We illustrate the power of our appro...

Amorphous thin-film growth: Theory compared with experiment

– Experimental results on amorphous ZrAlCu thin-film growth and the dynamics of the surface morphology as predicted from a minimal nonlinear stochastic deposition equation are analysed and compared. Key points of this study are: i) an estimation procedure for coefficients entering into the growth equation and ii) a detailed analysis and interpretation of the time evolution of the correlation le...

Type B Topological Matter , Kodaira - Spencer Theory , and Mirror Symmetry

Perturbing usual type B topological matter with vector (0, 1)-forms we find a topological theory which contains explicitly Kodaira-Spencer deformation theory. It is shown that, in genus zero, three-point correlation functions give the Yukawa couplings for a generic point in the moduli space of complex structures. This generalization of type B topological matter seems to be the correct framework...

Topological and topological-electronic correlations in amorphous silicon

In this paper, we study several structural models of amorphous silicon, and discuss structural and electronic features common to all. We note spatial correlations between short bonds, and similar correlations between long bonds. Such effects persist under a first principles relaxation of the system and at finite temperature. Next we explore the nature of the band tail states and find the states...
