    We study a realistic three-band model for two holes doped into a CuO2 layer, using a variational method that allows us to turn on/off the exchange of magnons between the holes. This enables us to verify that the magnon-mediated effective hole-hole interaction is attractive and could therefore indeed be (part of) the superconducting glue. We derive its analytical expression and show that it...

    We present electronic structure and quantum transport calculations that predict conducting channels induced in graphene quantum dots by lines of adsorbed hydrogen atoms to function as highly efficient, experimentally realizable valley filters, accumulators, and switches. The underlying physics is an interesting property of graphene Dirac point resonances (DPRs) that is revealed here, namely,...

    Incompressible fractional quantum Hall states at even denominator fractions (ν = 1/2, 1/4) have recently been observed in experiments in monolayer graphene. We use a Chern-Simons description of multicomponent fractional quantum Hall states in graphene to study these incompressible fractional quantum hall states in the zeroth Landau level and suggest variational wavefunctions that may describe...

    Quantum Hall Ferromagnets are a unique platform to study the confluence of symmetry-broken order parameter and topological physics. Recent experiments by Feldman et al.[1] observe clear signatures of valley-polarized Quantum Hall Ferromagnets on the surface of Bi(111) in the presence of strong magnetic fields. The tunneling conductance shows a discrete spectrum indicating the formation of...
