A collaborative research team has identified the world's first multiple Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in a single vortex of the superconducting topological crystalline insulator SnTe and exploited ...

The comparison of simulations and experimental plots in the case of selective valley excitation of the K1' state. Black arrows marking the propagation direction and dashed triangular lines demarcating ...

Topology originated from the classification of geometric structures in mathematics, and have prevailed in a variety of branches of physics, ranging from the early electronic topological insulator to ...

(Nanowerk News) Plasmonic vortex is an optical field distribution with topological features formed by interfering surface plasmons, which enriches the class of vortex phenomena in nature. Owing to ...

Topological spin textures, spatially organized patterns linked to the intrinsic angular momentum of particles, have proved to be highly advantageous for the development of spintronics and quantum ...

In physics, topological singularities are highly stable structures that occur on a very small scale. Thanks to their winding geometry, they are extremely resistant to change. This remarkable stability ...

One example is the electric vortex, a microscopic 'whirlpool' formed by electric dipoles — regions where positive and negative charges are separated and depicted as tiny arrows — rotating in a ...
