Floquet topological phase transitions in 2D Su–Schrieffer–Heeger model: interplay between time reversal symmetry breaking and dimerization by Adrian Pena, Bogdan Ostahie, Cristian Radu

“…We theoretically study the 2D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model in the context of Floquet topological insulators (FTIs). FTIs are systems which undergo topological phase transitions, governed by Chern numbers, as a result of time reversal symmetry (TRS) breaking by a time periodic process. …”

Disease suppression is driven by microbial community properties at fine taxonomic scales by Shan Shan, Isabelle George, Michael D. Millican, Linda L. Kinkel, Richard A. Lankau

“…A small number of microbial groups have been proposed as main players behind disease suppression, but the complete picture of the underlying mechanisms remains unclear for both functions in many soil systems. Here, we investigated broad and fine‐scale microbial community features for their contributions to disease suppression and growth promotion for potato plants. …”
