Observation of Van Hove singularities in twisted graphene layers
Electronic instabilities at the crossing of the Fermi energy with a Van Hove singularity1 in the density of states often lead to new phases of matter such as superconductivity2,3, magnetism4 or density waves5. However, in most materials this condition is difficult to control. In the case of single-layer graphene, the singularity is too far from the Fermi energy6 and hence difficult to reach wit...
متن کاملObservation of van Hove Singularities in Twisted Silicene Multilayers
Interlayer interactions perturb the electronic structure of two-dimensional materials and lead to new physical phenomena, such as van Hove singularities and Hofstadter's butterfly pattern. Silicene, the recently discovered two-dimensional form of silicon, is quite unique, in that silicon atoms adopt competing sp(2) and sp(3) hybridization states leading to a low-buckled structure promising rela...
متن کاملvan Hove singularities and vortex motion in superconductors
When vortices move in a type-II superconductor under the action of an electric current, they interact with the crystal lattice generating acoustic waves. This results in a radiation-friction component to the vortex dissipation, which peaks at values of vortex velocity where there are phonons in the Brillouin zone of the crystal with matching phase and group velocities ~the van Hove condition!. ...
متن کاملProbability density functions of decaying passive scalars in periodic domains: an application of Sinai-Yakhot theory.
Employing the formalism introduced by Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 1962 (1989)], we study the probability density functions (pdf's) of decaying passive scalars in periodic domains under the influence of smooth large scale velocity fields. The particular regime we focus on is one where the normalized scalar pdf's attain a self-similar profile in finite time, i.e., the so-called strange or statistical ei...
متن کاملElectronic Density of States of Atomically Resolved Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes: Van Hove Singularities and End States
The electronic densities of states of atomically resolved single-walled carbon nanotubes have been investigated using scanning tunneling microscopy. Peaks in the density of states due to the one-dimensional nanotube band structure have been characterized and compared with tight-binding calculations. In addition, tunneling spectroscopy measurements recorded along the axis of an atomically resolv...
