On the category Set(JCPos)
2006
Category Set(JCPos) of lattice-valued subsets of sets is introduced and studied. We prove that it is topological over SetxJCPos and show its ''natural'' coalgebraic subcategory.
Tunable multifunctional topological insulators in ternary Heusler compounds
2010
Recently the Quantum Spin Hall effect (QSH) was theoretically predicted and experimentally realized in a quantum wells based on binary semiconductor HgTe[1-3]. QSH state and topological insulators are the new states of quantum matter interesting both for fundamental condensed matter physics and material science[1-11]. Many of Heusler compounds with C1b structure are ternary semiconductors which are structurally and electronically related to the binary semiconductors. The diversity of Heusler materials opens wide possibilities for tuning the band gap and setting the desired band inversion by choosing compounds with appropriate hybridization strength (by lattice parameter) and the magnitude o…
Flat Bands as a Route to High-Temperature Superconductivity in Graphite
2016
Superconductivity is traditionally viewed as a low-temperature phenomenon. Within the BCS theory this is understood to result from the fact that the pairing of electrons takes place only close to the usually two-dimensional Fermi surface residing at a finite chemical potential. Because of this, the critical temperature is exponentially suppressed compared to the microscopic energy scales. On the other hand, pairing electrons around a dispersionless (flat) energy band leads to very strong superconductivity, with a mean-field critical temperature linearly proportional to the microscopic coupling constant. The prize to be paid is that flat bands can probably be generated only on surfaces and i…
Author Correction: Induced unconventional superconductivity on the surface states of Bi2Te3 topological insulator
2018
Topological superconductivity is central to a variety of novel phenomena involving the interplay between topologically ordered phases and broken-symmetry states. The key ingredient is an unconventional order parameter, with an orbital component containing a chiral p x + ip y wave term. Here we present phase-sensitive measurements, based on the quantum interference in nanoscale Josephson junctions, realized by using Bi2Te3 topological insulator. We demonstrate that the induced superconductivity is unconventional and consistent with a sign-changing order parameter, such as a chiral p x + ip y component. The magnetic field pattern of the junctions shows a dip at zero externally applied magneti…
Skyrmion formation due to unconventional magnetic modes in anisotropic multiband superconductors
2018
Multiband superconductors have a sufficient number of degrees of freedom to allow topological excitations characterized by Skyrmionic topological invariants. In the most common, clean s-wave multiband, systems the interband magnetic coupling favours composite vortex solutions, without a Skyrmionic topological charge. It was discussed recently that certain kinds of anisotropies lead to hybridisation of the interband phase difference (Leggett) mode with magnetic modes, dramatically changing the hydromagnetostatics of the system. Here we report this effect for a range of parameters that substantially alter the nature of the topological excitations, leading to solutions characterized by a nontr…
Instability of the topological surface state in Bi2Se3 upon deposition of gold
2017
Momentum-resolved photoemission spectroscopy indicates the instability of the Dirac surface state upon deposition of gold on the (0001) surface of the topological insulator Bi2Se3. Based on the str ...
Design and synthesis of the first triply twisted Möbius annulene.
2014
As long as 50 years ago theoretical calculations predicted that Mobius annulenes with only one π surface and one edge would exhibit peculiar electronic properties and violate the Huckel rules. Numerous synthetic attempts notwithstanding, the first singly twisted Mobius annulene was not prepared until 2003. Here we present a general, rational strategy to synthesize triply or even more highly twisted cyclic π systems. We apply this strategy to the preparation of a triply twisted [24]dehydroannulene, the structure of which was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Our strategy is based on the topological transformation of 'twist' into 'writhe'. The advantage is twofold: the product exhibits a lower deg…
On inductive dimensions for fuzzy topological spaces
1995
An approach to the dimension theory for fuzzy topological spaces is being developed. The appropriate context for this theory is not the category CFT of Chang fuzzy topological spaces or some of its modifications, but the category Hut introduced in the paper (this category is a slight extension of the category H of Hutton fuzzy topological spaces Hutton (1980). The frames of this category allow us to make exposition simple and uniform, and on the other hand to make it applicable in quite a general setting.
Locally compact (2, 2)-transformation groups
2010
We determine all locally compact imprimitive transformation groups acting sharply 2-transitively on a non-totally disconnected quotient space of blocks inducing on any block a sharply 2-transitive group and satisfying the following condition: if Δ1, Δ2 are two distinct blocks and Pi, Qi ∈ Δi (i = 1, 2), then there is just one element in the inertia subgroup which maps Pi onto Qi. These groups are natural generalizations of the group of affine mappings of the line over the algebra of dual numbers over the field of real or complex numbers or over the skew-field of quaternions. For imprimitive locally compact groups, our results correspond to the classical results of Kalscheuer for primitive l…
On Słowikowski, Raíkov and De Wilde Closed Graph Theorems
1986
Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the Slowikowski, Raikov and De Wilde closed graph theorems. The vector spaces used in the chapter, are defined over the field Ղ of real or complex numbers. The term, “space” means separated topological vector space, unless the contrary is specifically stated. If Ω is a non-empty open subset of the n -dimensional euclidean space, then the Schwartz space ҟ′(Ω) endowed with the strong topology belongs to this class. The chapter also studies the classes of spaces related with this conjecture. The class of Slowikowski spaces contains the F-spaces and it is stable with respect to the operations that include: countable topological direct sums, closed subsp…
