This DOE award supported the PI’s research on topological quantum materials between 2018 and 2021. The PI developed predictive theories for new classes of topological insulators and topological/unconventional superconductors and identified their material realizations in collaboration with experimentalists. The PI theorized new topological transport phenomena, including spin superfluidity in moire materials and the superconducting diode effect. Topological transport phenomena have potential applications in cryogenic computing, low-power electronics, high-frequency rectification, infrared detection, energy harvesting and thermoelectric application. By discovering new quantum materials and new functional properties, the PI’s research contributed significantly to the advancement of DOE scientific and technological base, especially in energy frontier research.
