Friedel oscillations and chiral superconductivity in monolayer NbSe2
We consider the low-energy Hamiltonian for the metallic bands of monolayer NbSe2 $$\hat{H}={\sum} _{{{\bf{k}}},\sigma }{\xi }_{{{\bf{k}}},\sigma }{\hat{c}}_{{{\bf{k}}},\sigma }^{{\dagger}…
Why Is Ice Slippery? New Study Overturns 200-Year-Old Physics Theory
It isn’t pressure or friction that makes ice slippery, but hidden forces at the molecular level. New findings…
