FEATURED IN PHYSICS

Photonic Realization of a Generic Type of Graphene Edge States Exhibiting Topological Flat Band

Shiqi Xia, Yongsheng Liang, Liqin Tang, Daohong Song, Jingjun Xu, and Zhigang Chen

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 013804 (2023) - Published 6 July, 2023

A photonic version of graphene hosts never-before-seen “twig” edge states—which could provide new avenues for realizing topological phases in graphene-like materials.

General Bound States in the Continuum in Momentum Space

Qiao Jiang, Peng Hu, Jun Wang, Dezhuan Han, and Jian Zi

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 013801 (2023) - Published 6 July, 2023

A graph-theory-based approach reveals a new kind of bound state in the continuum at an arbitrary point in momentum space, useful for the classification and evolution of polarization singularities in the whole momentum space.

Orbital Fulde-Ferrell Pairing State in Moiré Ising Superconductors

Ying-Ming Xie and K. T. Law

Phys. Rev. Lett. 131, 016001 (2023) - Published 5 July, 2023

An orbital field-driven Fulde–Ferrell (FF) pairing state can be driven by the orbital effects of in-plane magnetic fields (different from the conventional Zeeman effects-driven FF state), such a pairing makes possible a giant and gate-tunable superconducting diode effect.
