Using the Bogoliubov–de Gennes theory, we analyze the impact of disorder correlations on superconducting behavior. Additionally, we derive the stiffness formula for the kagome lattice and calculate its superfluid stiffness. An intriguing finding of our paper is the bimodal characteristic in the probability distribution of the superconducting pairing amplitude at higher disorder correlation strengths for intermediate values of the disordered potential. Our results provide valuable insights into how disorder correlations influence superconductivity and underscore the role of lattice geometry in shaping superconducting properties.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We observe a phase transition from a band insulator to a Kondo insulator as the hybridization increases. At finite temperature, an intermediate metallic region emerges between two insulating phases, which is characterized by a pseudogap in the spectral functions near the boundary of the intermediate region and a quasiparticle peak in the middle. The latter coincides with a crossing point of the <mjx-container ctxtmenu_counter=\"72\" ctxtmenu_oldtabindex=\"1\" jax=\"CHTML\" overflow=\"linebreak\" role=\"tree\" sre-explorer- style=\"font-size: 100.7%;\" tabindex=\"0\"><mjx-math data-semantic-structure=\"0\"><mjx-mi data-semantic-annotation=\"clearspeak:simple\" data-semantic-font=\"italic\" data-semantic- data-semantic-role=\"latinletter\" data-semantic-speech=\"f\" data-semantic-type=\"identifier\"><mjx-c>𝑓</mjx-c></mjx-mi></mjx-math></mjx-container>-electron occupation on different sublattices as well as the maximum antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations. The metallic region extrapolates to a single quantum critical point at zero temperature, which may result in exotic quasiparticle excitations associated with the emergent metallic state. The Monte Carlo sign problem is found to be most pronounced in the quantum critical region, implying a close connection between the two phenomena. Our results are qualitatively supported by the Hartree-Fock (HF) mean-field calculations. Our work reveals interesting physics in inhomogeneous Kondo lattice systems that may be worthwhile of more investigations in the future.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597345","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This specific feature is caused by an inequivalence of the surface and subsurface structural blocks and an electrostatic potential bending near the surface. Within density functional theory and <i>ab initio</i> tight-binding calculations we analyze peculiarities of these states depending on the surface termination, structural parameters, and chemical composition. It is found that their possible hybridization with the Dirac state significantly affects its dispersion and spatial localization. We analyze the influence of intrinsic magnetism on behavior of the termination-dependent surface states for magnetic QL/SL superlattices. These findings provide a better understanding of the existing experimental observations of such QL/SL alternating superlattices.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rev. Lett.</span> <b>130</b>, 196201 (2023)]. Chief among them is the appearance of flat Chern bands that are favorable to the appearance of fractional Chern insulator states. Here, we explore the application of spatially periodic out-of-plane orbital magnetic fields to the model of Ghorashi <i>et al.</i> to find additional means of inducing flat Chern bands. We focus on fields that vary on length scales much larger than the atomic spacing in BLG, generating what we refer to as magnetic SLs. The magnetic SLs we investigate either introduce no net magnetic flux to the SL unit cell or a single quantum of flux. We find that magnetic SLs acting on their own can induce topological flat bands, but richer behavior, such as the appearance of flat and generic bands with high Chern numbers, can be observed when the magnetic SLs act in conjunction with commensurate electric SLs. Finally, we propose a method of generating unit-flux-quantum magnetic SLs along with concomitant electric SLs. The magnetic SL is generated by periodic arrays of flux vortices originating from type II superconductors, while the electric SL arises due to a magnetic SL-induced charge density on the surface of a magnetoelectric material. Tuning the vortex lattice and the magnetoelectric coupling permits control of both SLs, and we study their effects on the band structure of BLG.","PeriodicalId":20082,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review B","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142589005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
