متن کاملHolographic superconductor on a novel insulator
We construct a holographic superconductor model, based on a gravity theory, which exhibits novel metal-insulator transitions. We investigate the condition for the condensation of the scalar field over the parameter space, and then focus on the superconductivity over the insulating phase with a hard gap, which is supposed to be Mott-like. It turns out that the formation of the hard gap in the in...
متن کاملBulk metals with helical surface states
In the flurry of experiments looking for topological insulator materials, it has been recently discovered that some bulk metals very close to topological insulator electronic states support the same topological surface states that are the defining characteristic of the topological insulator. First observed in spin-polarized angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy ARPES in Sb D. Hsieh et al., ...
متن کاملآرام کردن مایع فرمی: جدال با علامتهای فرمیونی غیر مستقیم
The fermion sign problem is studied in the path integral formalism. The standard picture of Fermi liquids is first critically analyzed, pointing out some of its rather peculiar properties. The insightful work of Ceperley in constructing fermionic path integrals in terms of constrained world-lines is then reviewed. In this representation, the minus signs associated with Fermi-Dirac statistics a...
متن کاملRole of Disorder and Interactions on the Surface of Topological Superconductors
In this work we study the surface properties of topological systems, with a special focus on topological superconductors without inversion symmetry. These materials provide a rich playground for multiple topological phenomena, showing boundary modes with linear and (or) flat dispersion arising from complex nodal structures. A remarkable characteristic of topological phases is their robustness t...
