AbstractWe theoretically report the finding of a new kind of topological phase transition between a normal insulator and a topological metal state where the closing-reopening of bandgap is accompanied by passing the Fermi level through an additional band. The resulting nontrivial topological metal phase is characterized by stable zero-energy localized edge states that exist within the full gapless bulk states. Such states living on a quasi-one-dimensional system with three sublattices per unit cell are protected by hidden inversion symmetry. While other required symmetries such as chiral, particle-hole, or full inversion symmetry are absent in the system.

We show that a quantum phase transition, generating flat bands and altering Fermi surface topology, is a primary reason for the exotic behavior of the overdoped high-temperature superconductors represented by La2−xSrxCuO4, whose superconductivity features differ from what is predicted by the classical Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer theory.

We theoretically evaluate the electronic band structures in carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores with a tight-binding approximation of π electrons, and demonstrate that band gaps of the carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores differ significantly from those of conventional carbon nanotubes. The band gaps of the carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores depend strongly on the size of pores and inter-pore distances. In some carbon nanotubes with nanoscale periodic pores, band gaps are constant as a function of their circumferences. In other ones, band gaps have the exact periodicity of three as a function of their circumferences. Those behaviors can be explained by taking properties of nanoscale periodic porous graphite into consideration. In some carbon nanotubes with relatively large nanoscale periodic pores, flat bands appear, which may cause singular properties about magnetism in one-dimensional porous carbon nanotubes.

Abstract We consider a two-dimensional extension of the one-dimensional waveguide quantum electrodynamics and investigate the nature of linear excitations in two-dimensional arrays of qubits (particularly, semiconductor quantum dots) coupled to networks of chiral waveguides. We show that the combined effects of chirality and long-range photon mediated qubit-qubit interactions lead to the emergence of the two-dimensional flat bands in the polaritonic spectrum, corresponding to slow strongly correlated light.
