MOIRÉ INTERFERENCE PATTERNS. “Moiré systems formed by 2D atomic layers have widely tunable electrical and optical properties and host exotic, strongly correlated and topological phenomena, including superconductivity, correlated insulator states and orbital magnetism.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41578-021-00284-1 View in LinkedIn

The f electron orbitals are asymmetric, can be unfilled and account for many physical and chemical properties of matter. https://lnkd.in/eaQ4p_NY View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on pushing the limits of time crystals for looking at condensed matter physics phenomena in other dimensions including time. Hold onto your dentures, this is a wild ride and worth the effort! https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

THE POPE OF CONDENSED MATTER PHYSICS. “The standard Anderson localization phenomenon is exponential localization of eigenstates of a particle in configuration space due to the presence of a disordered potential in space.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM SUPPRESSION. “Anderson localization can also be observed in momentum space (often called dynamical localization) and it is related to the quantum suppression of classical diffusion of a particle in classically chaotic systems.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

CHAOTIC TIME, “It turns out that yet another version of Anderson localization is possible: Anderson localization in time due to the presence of disorder in time.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

RANGE OF FORMS. “We have seen that different crystalline structures can be realized in the time domain by means of resonant driving of a periodically moving particle.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

PUSHING THE ENVELOPE. “We have seen that a resonantly driven single particle can behave in the time domain like an electron moving in a space crystal. One may raise the question if many-body condensed matter phenomena can be observed in the time dimension too?” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

OPEN AVENUE. “If a resonantly driven many-body system experiences temporal disorder, the many-body localization phenomenon in a time crystalline structure can be investigated.” https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn

THE PLAN. “Although time is a single degree of freedom, crystalline structures in time with the properties of 2D (or 3D) condensed matter systems can be created by a BEC bouncing resonantly between two (or three) oscillating atom mirrors.” (BEC = Bose-Einstein condensate). https://lnkd.in/e5UXiem5 View in LinkedIn
