Quantum oscillation of thermally activated conductivity in a monolayer ${\mathrm{WTe}}_{2}$-like excitonic insulator

by Wen-Yu He and Patrick A. Lee

Author(s): Wen-Yu He and Patrick A. Lee

Recently, quantum oscillation of the resistance in insulating monolayer WTe2 was reported. An explanation in terms of gap modulation in the hybridized Landau levels of an excitonic insulator was also proposed by one of us. However, the previous picture of gap modulation in the Landau levels spectrum...

Generalized Onsager's reciprocal relations for the master and Fokker-Planck equations

by Liangrong Peng, Yi Zhu, and Liu Hong

Author(s): Liangrong Peng, Yi Zhu, and Liu Hong

The Onsager's reciprocal relation plays a fundamental role in the nonequilibrium thermodynamics. However, unfortunately, its classical version is valid only within a narrow region near equilibrium due to the linear regression hypothesis, which largely restricts its usage. In this paper, based on the...
