Array of Martini glasses with topology

Taking a square root is not trivial. The Dirac equation is invented by the square root of the Kleind-Gordon equation. Then the lattice analog of the operation implies non-trivial topology and edge/cor...

Novel critical states in random U(1) MO models in 2D

Using a molecular orbital (MO) construction scheme of the flat band which we are proposing, we found novel random critical states in a series of flat band systems away from the flat band energy. The M...
