  1. 1. Topological properties of flat bands in generalized Kagome lattice materials

    University essay from KTH/Fysik

    Author : Daniela Pinto Dias; [2021]
    Keywords : tight-binding; topological insulators; flat bands; edge states; honeycomb-Kagome lattice; tätt bindande modell; topologiska isolatorer; platta band; kanttillstånder; bikakan-Kagome gitter;

    Abstract : Topological insulators are electronic materials that behave like an ordinary insulator in their bulk but have robust conducting states on their edge. Besides, in some materials the band structure presents completely flat bands, a special feature leading to strong interactions effects. READ MORE

  3. 2. Interaction of sublevels in gated biased semiconductor nanowires

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Teoretisk Fysik

    Author : Henrik Karlsson; [2016]
    Keywords : nanowire; spintronics; lateral spin-orbit coupling; asymmetrical confinement potential; spin polarization;

    Abstract : Mesoscopic devices, such as nano-wires, are of interest for the next step in creating spintronic devices. With the ability to manipulate electrons and their spin, spintronic devices may be realised. To that end the different effects found in low-dimensional devices must be studied and understood.
