      <description>Nano Letters: The orbital Hall conductivity (OHC) is central to orbitronics, yet its microscopic control remains largely unexplored. Here we identify a general mechanism in which tilted Weyl crossings formed by orbitally distinct bands generate a strongly asymmetric orbital Berry curvature (OBC) distribution, whose imbalance…</description>

      <description>arXiv: Recent experiments indicate that PtBi₂ is a Weyl semimetal whose surfaces become topological superconductors with i-wave gap symmetry at low temperature. The bulk hosts 12 Weyl cones while in the superconducting state each of the two surfaces hosts in addition 6 Majorana cones. We study a simplified model in a slab…</description>

      <description>arXiv: Achieving nonvolatile and multistate manipulation of charge-spin conversion, including the Edelstein effect (EE) and spin Hall effect (SHE), is crucial for high-density spintronic memory. Here, we propose a mechanism to simultaneously control both EE and SHE in two-dimensional ferroelectric bilayers, where…</description>

      <description>arXiv: According to recent observations, the topological surface states of Weyl semimetals may develop a superconducting gap, while bulk superconductivity remains absent. What drives the formation of this novel superconducting state is an open question. Here, we show that this phenomenon can arise from the interaction of…</description>

      <description>arXiv: A bulk superconductor hosting intrinsic surface superconductivity provides a unique platform to study Majorana bound states. The superconductor, trigonal γ-PtBi2, is a promising candidate, as surface superconducting gaps and topological surface states have been observed. However, the simultaneous presence of bulk and…</description>

      <description>arXiv: We studied enhanced superconductivity in point contacts (PCs) based on a type-I Weyl semimetal trigonal t-PtBi2 using both normal metal (Ag, Cu, Pt) and ferromagnetic (Fe, Co, Ni) tips by measuring the differential resistance dV/dI(V) curves. In most cases, the value of the superconducting critical temperature Tc…</description>

      <description>arXiv: For the application of topological materials, the specific location of their topological surface states with respect to the Fermi level are important. γ-PtBi2 has been demonstrated to be a Weyl semimetal possessing superconducting Fermi arcs by photoemission spectroscopy. However, the evidence of its topological…</description>
